LOGINMaya’s POV“You are doomed, Maya,” Quinn smirked, her aura turning a thousand times darker in contrast to her glowing pinkish-white skin.I chuckled to her utter surprise and cupped her face, “You fell into my trap, Luna Quinn. You are the one who is doomed.”Quinn startled for a moment before her bravado came back. She pushed away my hand from her face and laughed sarcastically, “Me? Doomed? Look around you, Maya. No one can save you!”“Your witch army can heal your face and bring back your wolf but they just started a ticking bomb in your body, Quinn.”“What do you mean?” Quinn sharply asked.“Haven’t you heard – a life for a life when it comes to forbidden arts? Someone you love the most shall be claimed by the spell for bringing back your wolf. And you tried to heal a part of your body – your face to be precise. I am sure there will be another part that shall be damaged in return,” I answered.“You are lying,” Quinn spoke through clenched teeth. “They did not use the forbidden art
Maya’s POV“Don’t go, love,” Sebastian groggily mumbled, trying to pull me back beneath him. I slipped out of his arms, only to be caged under his leg.“Sebastian,” I chided the man.“Don’t leave… please. I need your love… and your warmth,” he murmured, eyes still closed.“I am not leaving but you are. Now make it quick, Mr Thunderstorm,” I replied and he huffed when his robes smacked straight on his face.“You are terrible,” he complained.“Are you complaining about me… to me?”“No, my love. I just feel like a cheap one-night stand, getting booted out of your bed at…goddess above, at three in the morning. Not fair!” he pouted.I stared at the fully grown man in my bed with a huge pout on his face incredulously. This was the same fearsome Lycan King who ruled nations. No wonder my children got away with everything scot-free. This man was a terrible influence on my kids.“Those pouty lips and tragic eyes don’t work on me anymore, Sebastian, thanks to your kids who have used this trick
Maya’s POV“What are you doing here?” I asked, my dagger resting against his long, sharp neck.“Checking out your old room …” he leaned closer to my ear. His scent surrounded me. Dark, wild, dangerously familiar. “… and planning to make new memories here,” he smoothly replied. Before I could react, his fingers flicked my dagger away as if it were nothing more than a speck of dust. The blade clattered somewhere across the room.My eyes narrowed.“Don’t you dare touch me,” I warned and he playfully chuckled. The full moon’s glow illuminated my dark room like my words did to his mood.In one swift movement, he caught my wrists and pinned them above my head against the wall. The sudden closeness stole the breath from my lungs. This man could make my heart beat like a raging bull even now when I was angry with him.“I swear I will scream,” I breathlessly warned, my chest heaving heavily against his rock hard chest.“Oh? Do you want everyone to see us like this? Scandalous, wouldn’t it be,”
Maya’s POVI crossed one leg over the other, my red pencil heels effortlessly hanging off my foot while my elbow lay comfortably on the arm of the gigantic, carved velvet chair.I was playing with the ginormous ruby ring gifted by my dear mate one second and flinging my dagger across the conference room the next.Quinn’s personal maid went crashing down, the blade stuck deep in her heart. This was revenge served cold. I blew over my long n*de-coloured nails after wiping the blood off them with Zane’s handkerchief.“Beth!” Quinn screamed in horror and rushed to the evil woman’s side. Hannah’s poisoning incident and Sebastian’s words were still fresh in my mind. I was not going to repeat my mistakes. “How dare you murder a pack member, Maya!” Quinn screamed.Oh, now I was regarded as a pack member?“You will be next, Luna Quinn, if I find out that my tea was poisoned on your instructions. Beta Zane, gather the evidence and zip it along with Beth’s middle finger. You will find the poison
Maya’s POV“Take care of yourself, my little munchkins,” I kissed every sad baby face on both cheeks. “I love you,” I mouthed.Not a baby giggle or even a sound like “Vawooo,” their way of saying ‘I love you,’ came back. They seemed to understand that I was going on a long trip and leaving them behind at the palace where they would be safer.They were giving me the silent treatment.The triplets seemed to be drawing their emotions from their angry father who was missing since last night.A black sleek car rolled in front of me. When the doors soared like an eagle’s wings, I half-expected Sebastian to be in there bit but Zane was behind the wheel.An entourage of heavily armed bodyguards and their vehicles stood like a formidable army in front and behind my car.Sebastian seemed to have worked overnight to fine tune the security detail personally. I knew he loved me but I still felt hurt. We could have resolved our differences last night and kissed each other goodbye today.I knew he w
Maya’s POV“AAAHHHHH!”“What happened?” Sebastian asked, worriedly, appearing in the kitchen like a genie materializing out of thin air. He shoved away his soup-drenched sister to get to me – the one who was standing clean and unharmed.He pulled me in his arms and caressed my hair, soothing me as if I was the one burnt by the boiling soup.“Brother!” Princess Hannah shrieked, aghast that she was not getting even a speck of attention from Sebastian.“Are you okay?” Sebastian asked worriedly, his palm cupping my face.I nodded. “I am fine. Princess Hannah got splashed though.”“Hannah,” Sebastian sternly said. “Be careful around your sister-in-law. The Queen is pregnant,” he chided.“But I am the one she hurt!” Hannah wailed.Yes, because she was trying to poison me.“I spilled the soup by mistake. My fingers are getting swollen day-by-day. I didn’t handle the soup bowl properly. I apologize to the princess,” I signed over to the lycans as the translator translated for Hannah.“Lies! T
