Third Person's POV

Maverick was surprised when Coal wanted to play a game of chess on Monday evening. Their game day is normally Wednesdays, and seeing as Maverick was going stir-crazy and about to lose his mind because his other half wouldn't stop crying about his “pretty little angel,” Maverick jumped at the opportunity for a distraction.

Before the game even started, Maverick sensed something was wrong. The normal nonchippery Alpha was even less chippery than normal. It was like someone twi

It's clear that they are not alone for the phone call because I cannot think or see why they would otherwise lie, but Xavier isn't stupid he hears it. Coal & Maverick are our hope, especially Mav' he has seen all kinds. Will not be surprised if this pack was involved with Cain.

Always love a double update. Xavier knows better than to believe that! Can't wait to see what Maverick and Coal will stir up if they go in for a visit.

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 104

    Maverick's POV I don't know much about Alpha-Beta relationship dynamics, but I know a murder attempt when I see one.Chunks of grass fly up from Xavier's heels as he runs across the grass for his life. Damian is hot on his heels, looking less like a pregnant Beta and more like a hell-bent demon seeking vengeance. The entire party freezes to a halt as they watch the chaos, which disappears when Xavier darts into the tree line with Damian right behind him.Remind me never to let an angel touch my stomach. Or my brain. Or look in my general direction, I think to myself, rubbing the bridge of my nose. I turn away from the trees and scan the yard for the closest cooler so I can grab a beer. However, my attention is drawn right back to the woods when I hear Damian's furious voice getting closer. When I turn around, I am shocked to see Xavier burst from the tree line. His shirt is nearly torn entirely from his body, and the missing chunks of fabric are tightly fisted in Damian's hands.“G

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 103

    Maverick's POV The Angel's face softened, and he seemed to walk lighter as he led me toward his Omega son. The Omega kept his toes planted in the grass and lightly swayed the swing back and forth while staring at the ground, paying no attention to the party going on around him. Cassian lifted his head as we approached, and I gasped. His eyes were startling, the most unique shade of blue I've ever seen. The blue is so light they're nearly white. A small smile tugs at Cassian’s lips when he sees his dad, but it quickly disappears when he looks past him and finds me. His lips parted as he quietly sucked a breath in. His wings quickly appear. Feathers that looked delicate and incredibly soft, but could become as hard as steel with a breath. They spanned out to each side, reaching past the ropes that connected to the swing, on each side of his shoulders.He's the definition of ethereal.If he's this beautiful, his sister must have been too, and I'm sure that's where my pretty little ang

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 102

    Maverick's POV I've never seen this many people visit the pack. Everyone seems to be here, and all the attention is on me. I don't like it. I don't like the attention. I'm used to being alone. I'm used to everyone being afraid of me. I'm not used to so many people knowing about Shade, and I'm definitely not used to so many people excited to meet him, or excited that I'm here. I feel their eyes on me constantly; I can't get away from their stares. The ones with enough guts approach me, and the ones with almost enough guts linger close by, and gawk. It's annoying. I don't like it. “Maverick, my man!” A hand slapped down on my shoulder, and I stiffened. I looked down at the hand, raised a brow, then slowly turned my head and looked at Maddox. The Alpha simply flashed me a smile. Why are the Andersons so… Happy... All the time?! “That's an impressive hound! What kind of abilities do you have?” His eyes held curiosity, his grin held nothing but mischief. “Hm?” He wiggle

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 101

    Maverick's POV The stage groans under the weight of Shade’s true form. He stands at his full height, eye to eye with Grayson. The king's lips twitch, tugging up into a smirk before stepping forward and approaching Shade. “I'm sorry for electrocuting you,” Grayson said, and Shade huffed a breath out through his nose, blowing Grayson's hair back. My hound is still a little resentful for being electrocuted, and I'm not particularly proud that I mumbled “mama” just before I passed out. “Go. Let them see they're safe with you.” Grayson nudges his chin toward the crowd before turning to face them.“See for yourself. Shade will not hurt you.” Grayson said just before Shade stepped off the front of the stage. The crowd moved back further, but Shade didn't move once he stepped off the stage. He waited for Grayson to calm the people further. The fear in their eyes said they'd run if he attempted to walk any closer.“Don't be afraid. I give you my word, you're safe with him. Shade is going t

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 100

    Coal’s POV I've never seen Maverick scared before, and I don't like it. I wish he trusted our people, but I suppose it's hard to trust after what he's been through. And Reid isn't helping. He trusts me and my judgment, but he doesn't truly trust Maverick, at least not his future and what he's capable of doing if he ever should answer the gate. But he doesn't see what I see. He doesn't feel what I feel. I don't know how to explain it. I just know deep in my bones that he'd never hurt me, or anyone in this pack. I don't know if it's intuition or the Goddess whispering to me, guiding me, and telling me, I don't know. I just know Maverick would never hurt us… The word spread fast about tonight's announcement, and the pack is bustling with excitement that we may have a new shifter. Speculations are running rampant, lions, tigers, mountain lions, and the list goes on. They've guessed everything except what Maverick really is. At least I got Noah to contain himself until after the ann

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 99

    Maverick's POV Her head rests on my chest, soft, warm breaths fan my chin and neck. Her warmth surrounds me, those magical little tingles dance along my body everywhere we touch. The light weight of her body feels good, the bond courses between us with a new life, full and complete; raw, intense, and powerful. Even in her sleep, I can feel her mind now. It caresses my own with thoughts of her undying love for me. It's alarming. Shocking. It's overwhelming, and my heart stutters. It's hard to believe someone could love me so deeply, so wholly, so unconditionally and without end. It's hard to believe that my flaws never caused her feelings for me to waver, not even in the slightest. Sure, I scared her when I tried to chase her away by showing parts of me, the scary parts, the parts I thought would surely chase her away, but it only made her more determined not to let me go. A small smile tugs at my lips, and I look down at her beautiful sleeping face. So stubborn!
