Maelis Rolkov

I walked into Father’s office. The guards at the door bowed as I entered.

Father was sitting on the couch, a folded newspaper on the table in front of him. When he looked up, his steel-gray eyes, a distinct recognition of the Rolkov's met mine, calm, sharp, and cold eyes that made even powerful Alphas drop to their knees.

Mine were different though, or so people say. Softer. Beautiful, maybe. But they carried the same weight as his. After all, the silver half-mask I wore every time hid everything but my eyes.

“You sent for me, Father,” I said, keeping my gaze on him. In this house, breaking eye contact was a weakness.

“You handled Damaris,” he said. It wasn’t a question. It never was.

“Yes,” I replied. “He’ll sign the termination papers within three days.”

“Good.” He leaned back, tapping his finger against the carved wolf head on his desk. “The Americans are getting bold and Damaris was a fool to think he could sell our important shipment and live.”

I crossed my

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 106: Fought like a badger

    Maelis’s POV I woke up disoriented. The afternoon light pierced through the heavy curtains, stinging my eyes. My head felt heavy, and breathing was a chore. I pulled myself up, sitting against the headboard. The room was unfamiliar at first glance but then the familiarity settled in. I reached up instinctively to touch my face. And just as I suspected, my fingers brushed against cold, hard metal. The silver mask was back in place, perfectly secured. Exhaustion, anxiety, and fear crashed down on me all at once. I threw the covers off and swung my legs to the floor. My knees wobbled as I stood up, making for the door. A small part of me hoped this was a dream, that I would open the door and find Melanie. But upon opening the door— “Boss!” Luka’s scream almost made me deaf. He jumped on me immediately, his momentum causing both of us to stumble backward, knocking us hard against the wall. “Ouch! What's gotten into you?” I groaned, grimacing at the pain radiating through my

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 105: Imposter

    Maelis POV I swung the metal pipe with every ounce of strength I had, aiming right for the center of the glass. CLANG! The impact vibrated right up to my shoulder socket. The glass didn’t even crack. Instead, the force rebounded, sending a shockwave that felt like it was going to rip my muscles apart through my arm. I dropped the pipe, gasping in pain, clutching my numbing wrist. Inside the box, Lucian had slumped to the floor. His eyes were half-closed, his chest heaving as he fought the gas. Kellan was already unconscious beside him. “Selene, stop!” Melanie rushed toward me and grabbed my shoulder, “It’s reinforced! You can’t break it!” She yelled, trying to pull me away, toward the exit. “We have to go. We can get people to help them out of here, but we’re going to die if we don’t leave right now. That gas is going to leak!” I knew that. Of course I knew that. But I looked at Lucian. I saw the way his hand was reaching out toward the glass, toward me, even as he was fading.

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 104: Containment

    Maelis’s POV“You must be kidding me,” Melanie muttered as we entered.I stopped beside her, staring at them.Lucian was pacing the small enclosed space, his jacket discarded on the floor. Kellan was inspecting the electronic lock mechanism from the inside, looking thoroughly defeated.“How did you guys get yourself into this kind of situation?” I asked with a deep frown, staring up at the reason I’d ditched the safety of the room and come running out here, thinking he was caught in a life-or-death battle.Instead, he was just... stuck.Still, for some unknown reason, a heavy weight lifted off my chest. I was a little relieved that he wasn't in any immediate danger. He wasn't bleeding. He wasn't fighting off a hundred rogues. He was just locked in a box.Lucian stopped pacing when he saw me. His eyes softened instantly, and he walked up to the glass. “What are you two doing here?” I rolled my eyes, “Well, I'm not the one trapped in some glass.” I muttered, expecting him to bite back,

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 103: Dangerous in itself

    Maelis’s POV“Lucian might be in trouble,” I said tightly, my body already roaring at me to move, to leave Melanie there and go chase him down. But I didn't move.“Aren't you going after him?” Mel asked, looking at me with surprise.“Didn't you say his Beta went for him already?” I stressed, trying to convince myself more than her. “They are adults. They are capable enough to watch each other's backs and keep each other safe.”“But you literally just said you had a feeling of him being in danger.” Of course I did. Exactly why I'm trying to push the feeling away. Given that, all I got then; when I acknowledged the bond despite knowing the implications was betrayal. And now I'm getting the same signal, definitely because he got himself caught up in some danger. But I'm not going to charge into it when I don't have Rosa anymore. At least with her, survival would've been certain.It's because of her that I'm here, alive right now after all and I'm not going to throw that away like some

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 102: The West Wing

    Maelis’s POVI tossed and turned on the narrow bed, unable to sleep a wink no matter how much I tried. My mind was all over the place, replaying everything that has happened so far, including earlier events. Unable to take it anymore, I stood up and made for the small locker bathroom. The sink was old, but Melanie had confirmed the water still worked a while ago.Thankfully, Kellan had some lamps set up in here, so we won't have to bother about electricity. I turned the tap. The pipes groaned, then spat out a stream of cold water.I splashed my face repeatedly, sputtering and blowing out the droplets that tried to get into my eyes. I gripped the edges of the sink, locking eyes with the strange woman in the cracked mirror.I almost expected a snarky remark. “You look like shit.”Even though I knew better, I was expecting some miracle where she would come back. But the space in my mind where she always curled up, where she existed every second of the two years of my life, was now empt

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 101: His weakness

    Lucian’s POV“Does that change the fact that you chose your mistress over me every single time? Does it erase the humiliation? The nights I spent alone wondering why I wasn't enough?”The question kept ringing in my head, louder and louder, like a funeral bell that wouldn't stop tolling as I ran through the woods, my legs pumping like pistons. I had no idea where I was. I didn't even know how much distance I had covered in the last few minutes. I just kept running, as if I could outpace the memory of her voice. As if I could run away from myself.But there was so little I could hold back right then.So I finally broke, slumping forward and plopping down heavily at the base of a massive oak tree. I gasped for air, clutching the dirt.I didn't even notice it was this dark until now. The shadows had lengthened, swallowing the forest whole.I leaned my head back against the rough bark, closing my eyes. Even though I knew he was going to pour a good amount of salt on my open wounds, I let
