登入Maya's POVElders.I never got along with the elders when I was with Declan.Countless times, I would find them talking about how I was trying to overshadow the Alpha, when I should be the shadow.I never fully understood why they viewed it like that, when Declan was the one that always came running to me whenever he needed help.Was I not supposed to help my husband?Wasn't my duty as his wife to do whatever he asked me to do?If I had a broader perception of things and could come up with solutions quicker, did that mean that I didn't love him more than I said I did?It was always a tussle with them.I could never do anything right, because all they saw was negativity in everything that I did.The fact that I had taken so long to bear him and heir, didn't help my situation at all.They always pushed and pushed, you'd think that I was doing it on purpose.That's why when I finally learnt that I was carrying his child, I saw a glimmer of hope.I was finally going to be the perfect Luna
Maya's POVMy hands were shaking, wondering what I had just gotten myself into.Evening was fast approaching, and I could already tell that word must've gotten out about me and Cassian hanging out that evening, based on the way that everyone was looking at me.For some reason, one way or another, I felt like they were all in disbelief about what they were hearing.Mirabelle might have let slip about the movie date between me and Cassian.That didn't matter.In fact, it made me kind of nervous to know that everyone was watching me like I was about to go and slay a monster.I was about to do the impossible.“There's a cinema room in the Northern wing of the main house," Mirabelle told me as I was busy in my own thoughts.A cinema room was ideal for that movie night, but it didn't make sense if it was just going to be the two of us.“I don't want the cinema room. Let's go and plan something different," I said to her.When it came to this, I felt like I could take full control without inv
Maya's POVAfter having that conversation with Jasper, everything changed.I couldn't view Cassian the same.I couldn't see the monster that everyone saw.And the crazy part about it, is that I don't think he ever wanted anyone to see him anything other than the Night Reaper.That's exactly what gave him what he was looking for.Vengeance for his parent's death.But that was already done, and things needed to move forward.I wanted to understand what was keeping him going, but didn't want it to be something that I followed up on.There was no way that I was going to look for him to tell me that.Little did I know that all I had to do was think about it, and Cassian was going to find his way to me in no time.When I was on my way back from having breakfast, I heard heavy footsteps coming from behind me.With Mirabelle right in front of me, I figured that there was no reason for anyone to be getting close to me from behind.Not after I was pushed down the stairs less than two weeks earl
Maya's POVI almost thought that Jasper was going to tell me to look for Cassian so that he could tell me that story himself.However, it's as if he knew that I couldn't go down that path.It wasn't as if I could approach Cassian and tell him I wanted a whole life story like it was normal.Jasper was the only one who could tell me, because he was his closest friend and ally.He took in a deep breath and asked me,“Are you ready for another long story about Cassian, and how he became the man he is today?" Of course I was.I needed to see where he changed from that sweet boy that gained his spark when I visited him, into the most vicious Alphas to have ever walked the earth.For some reason, him not wanting to show me that savage side of him, made me want to know more and understand what happened to mould him into that.So, as I shook my head and wiped the tears that were now drying up on my face, I prepared myself for more.“I met Cassian when I was still a child.I was born into a fa
Maya's POV I gasped and tried covering my mouth with my hands.But that wasn't enough.I didn't think that story was going to take that turn.And it was in that moment that I realized just how convenient that I had decided to ask Jasper instead of Cassian.When I thought that the trauma he faced in the dungeons was too much, I realized that it had been way worse even before he found himself in the dungeons.Jasper, perhaps realizing how shocking that information might have been for me to process, paused for a while.Little did I know that it was about to go from bad to worse.Heck, that shit did a U-turn and escalated real quick when he went ahead and added,“Lyon jumped while his wife watched.Seeing her husband and mate fall through the air and hit the ground, dying instantly, it became too much for her to handle.People didn't even get to react, as they watched in horror as Cassian's mother fell next to her husband.The first person to run to their aid immediately called it.She d
Maya's POVChasing him down wasn't that hard, since he was yet to go so far.I called for him, and he finally stopped when he heard me.The moment I got close to him, I asked him the first question that was vital before that conversation was even set to begin.“Where's Cassian?"He was silent for a few seconds, although I could see that he was probably mind linking someone.“He has just walked into a meeting with some of the council elders," he answered.“But I can tell him that you're looking for him. They can wait," he added.Very quickly I told him not to do that, and he looked confused for a couple of seconds.“It's not him that I want to talk to, it's you," I said to him to clarify why I was there.“Follow me. I'll be all ears as I take you outside the main house and show you the garden that Cassian has dedicated to you.I was bound to show you anyway,”I wasn't sure what more to be surprised with.The fact that he didn't seem stunned that I wanted to talk to him instead of Cassi
