登入Cassian's POV“How dare you demean me as if I'm not an Alpha like you?" Declan roared, taking a step forward.A challenge?I was looking for one, and really hoped that he was going to do it.Jasper's demeanor shifted behind me, and I raised my hand to get him to stand back.If there was anyone that was going to strike Declan down, it was going to be me.“You threatened Maya, and even kidnapped her brother just to get her to comply!" I clapped back, my voice echoing throughout the place.“What other choice did you leave me with? Besides, I knew that she was going to be stubborn and I had to find a way to make her bend to your demands,”Declan was really starting to get on my nerves.No man was worthy to even utter Maya's name, and here he was, talking about her like she was some sort of parasite.A thorn in his side.“She was only ever stubborn because a man like you isn't worthy of her attention.You should see how happy she is with me.Her genuine laugh is something I doubt a man lik
Cassian's POV“Are you sure you want to do this?" Jasper asked as I was getting into my car.“We can't go there without any backup," he added, looking at the fleet of warriors that we were leaving behind.I wasn't going to Bloodhound to declare war, I was going there to make a statement.“There are reasons that I have accolades that surpass any Alpha that has walked this earth, and one of them is that I don't fear walking alone into enemy territory, because I know they fear even mentioning my name.” I said to him as he climbed into the car as well."Well then, I'm not letting you step foot in Bloodhound alone,” he said.I knew there was no stopping him, and I didn't even have the time to do that.I had only a few hours till evening, and Maya was expecting her parents to be in Moonclaw by evening.And I was going to stand by my promise, no matter what it was going to take."Don't stop until you're in front of Bloodhound's Packhouse,” I ordered the driver, who immediately turned the car
Maya's POVCassian had become easier to read with time.And the more I looked at his face, the more I could tell that he was confused and absolutely clueless about the words that left my mouth.His eyes were fixated on me, and I could see the confusion becoming stronger by the second the more we looked at each other.“Cassian, stop playing mind games with me," I taunted him, trying to get a better reading from his body language. He shifted even more in his chair uncomfortably, and his eyes darted around the room as if he was looking for something I couldn't see.When he finally looked back at me, he still had the same expression.He didn't smile or smirk as I was expecting him to do after realizing that I was confronting him with the truth.In fact, I was slowly starting to question whether it was the truth, or my truth."I don't know what you're trying to say Maya, but I have absolutely no clue whatsoever,” he said with a scoff.The pauses between our sentences were getting longer a
Maya'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
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 th
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 POVThe more I spent time with Cassian, the more I realized that I was actually getting closer to him.His outbursts didn't make me flinch as I used to do before.In fact, I seemed to be the only one that could control him whenever he became violent.Having such a huge pack with so many othe
Jasper's POVSomething about Cassian changed within a day.He looked way calmer and more positive about the day from the moment that he walked into the training grounds.“The three of you, grab whatever weapons you see fit for this fight," I ordered the head warriors that were his sparring partners
