LOGINMaya's POV“Cassian?" I called out as I marched through the corridors.I couldn't wait for three hours.Not after Raphael had told me that the wedding was no more.A wedding that I knew Cassian looked forward to more than me.When I got to his study, I pushed the doors wide open without even knocking on the door.Inside the room was Cassian who was seated behind his desk, and Beta Jasper who was standing across from him.Clearly, I had walked in on something that was happening, but I didn't care.A few months earlier, I wouldn't have dared to even do that, but a lot had changed.Including the fact that I was now comfortable with walking in the room the way that I did, knowing full well that nothing was going to happen to me.Cassian didn't even look at me, while Jasper was turning around to face me.I could tell that he was about to tell me to come back later, the same time that I had been told by Raphael to look for Cassian.“I need to talk to you," I said confidently as I looked rig
Maya's POV“Pardon me Miss Maya, I seem to have forgotten my manners.I'm not usually around people," he cut me in, as he looked down and seemed to have come to the realization that he was drenched in blood.At that moment, my heart was literally in my ass, and I was ready to make a run for it."I was summoned by Alpha Cassian, however I have just come from the dungeons as well.I apologize for my appearance,” he added with a subtle bow and silence.Part of me felt like he was waiting for me to assure him that everything was okay.But honestly, it wasn't.I was only a few minutes away from walking down the aisle to my wedding to Cassian, and right at my door was a menacing and imposing figure that looked like he had torn through half of the pack to get to me.“I'll step away and go change if that will make this any better," he suggested, signaling and looking down the hall as if to tell me that all I had to do was shake my head.That would have made me more comfortable, but there were
Maya's POVThey say that love conquers all.I was starting to become a believer as I looked at myself in the mirror.The person that was looking back was not the same Maya that arrived in Moonclaw.If you were to tell me that I would be dressed in one of the most beautiful gowns that I had ever laid my eyes on, and about to walk down the aisle to get married to Cassian, I would have told you that you were lying.Not only that, I would have even slapped you across the face for making such a damning accusation.There was no universe that I saw myself even being on the same page as Cassian.Yet, there I was, about to become his wife and Luna to Moonclaw.“You planted these seeds years ago," I said to myself, seeing myself as the little girl that I used to be.The same little girl that didn't listen to my father and wandered further than I should've, till I met the young boy in the dungeons.“The day you decided to speak to him, and become the first person that showed him any form of comp
Jasper's POV“Cassian, you need to rethink this," I said to him as I watched him pace up and down in his own study.Word was yet to get out, because he had chosen to tell me first.“Rethink what? Marrying Maya? My mate, and the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with?" He questioned as he came to a subtle stop.There was no stopping him, but I needed to try.“I know that there's no way you're going to call off the wedding; but at least rethink about how fast you're rushing it," I responded, knowing full well that he wasn't going to take that kindly.Before he could say anything else, I jumped and went ahead to say, "She only confessed her feelings today, don't you think having the wedding in three days is a bit too sudden?”More fuel to the flame.He completely stopped and turned to look at me, and I could see the clear stance that he was on."Too sudden? I've been searching and waiting for this day for years Jasper.Out of all people, you've been the one who stood by my side a
Maya's POVCassian's eyes shone with a different kind of light.He looked at me with an even gentler stare and for the first time ever since I laid my eyes on him, I swear he was blushing.His cheeks started to turn red, and this time, he wasn't even trying to hide it.He kept looking at me, and the words finally slipped out of his mouth,“You've learnt to love me," My heart skipped a beat, because I was almost certain that I was never going to hear those words while in Moonclaw.For the longest time, I was convinced that I was trapped there, forever.That Cassian was never going to let me go, and I would have to find a reason not to go insane because I was never going to leave his pack.And not even months after he took me, I was standing across from him and questioning whether I actually developed feelings for him.“I don't want to say that it's the same as yours," I tried to defend myself, as I was looking for a better way to phrase it.I expected that to deter Cassian and make hi
Maya's POVMirabelle's words bothered me for some days, and no matter how much I tried to find flaws in her logic, I just couldn't find it.The more I tried to push away any thoughts that were brought around by our conversation, the more I realized that she was right.If I didn't have any feelings for Cassian, I wouldn't have been doing what I was doing.She didn't miss a beat when she went ahead to tell me that I was the only person that could walk into Cassian's study even if he was in a serious meeting, and he would somehow manage to give me his time.At first I thought she lost her plot and was proving that Cassian was the one obsessed with me more than I was with him, only for her to ask me if I would have done that within the first few days of me joining the pack.It dawned on me that not only was I becoming comfortable, but I had already settled in Moonclaw.Cassian was no longer the big bad wolf that scared the shit out of me, but the man that I was comfortable going on dates
Maya's POVAt the crack of dawn, the pack was summoned at the pack square and some of the men that stood in front of Cassian the previous day were executed.A message was sent to anyone and everyone that thought they could dare challenge his rule, and this had to have happened in all the packs unde
Maya's POV:I could see the shock flash across Declan’s face the second the words left my mouth, his eyes widening just a fraction, jaw going slack for half a heartbeat before he caught himself and I wasn’t entirely surprised. He had always known how I felt. He had seen the way I looked at him acr
Maya's POV:“The child is mine.” His words echoed in my head as I clutched the wall, one hand pressed to the wood paneling and nails bit into the grain until my fingertips went numb. Inside, Victoria’s voice sliced through the silence.“What do you mean, the child is yours?” She demanded.“Six yea
Maya's POV:The grandfather clock in the living room had just struck eleven-thirty while I stood at the wide window, with the curtains balled in my fists as I stared down the moonlit drive until my eyes burned. Behind me the roast I’d spent the whole afternoon coaxing into tenderness sat cold on t
