MAYA

"I have no idea what happened," I answered Edward's question, keeping my voice as flat and unbothered as I could while wiping the blood from my bottom lip.

"Why would her head spin when you stared at the picture?" he asked further, his brow furrowed as his mind finally cleared of the remaining poison. His eyes darted between the grand portrait of Philomena and Clara, who was still trembling on the cold floor.

"I only looked at the direction my eyes took me to," I said, holding his gaze for a short second before looking away. "Her head spun because I gave her a blow on the head. We just fought."

Without waiting for him to reply, I turned on my heel and walked out of the dining hall.

My heart was hammering against my ribs, but beneath the pain of my bruised ribs and split lip, a cold realization was taking root. They were yet to see the worst of me. I now knew that by just looking at the picture on the wall, anyone that hurts me faces a head spin, not just Maria like I used to think. I wasn't completely helpless in this house anymore. I had the book to guide and guard me, and I had the Goddess of the Moon on my side with all her blessings.

Behind me, I could hear the hushed chaos of the dining room. Maria helped Clara up and took her to her room, murmuring quiet words to her puppet while Edward called for the housekeepers to clean up the shattered china and spilled tea.

I spent the rest of the day in my own chamber, nursing my bruises with cold water and trying to let the quiet ease the ache in my body. The house stayed unnervingly still until late into the night.

In the middle of the night, curiosity and a restless feeling in my chest pulled me out of bed. I crept out into the dim, torch-lit hallway, stepping softly over the cold stone. I only went to peep how Clara was doing—the innocent girl Maria sent to be an enemy with a ghost. I wanted to see if she was packed and ready to leave, or if she was lying in pain from the fight.

The door to the guest chamber was left slightly ajar, a warm golden light spilling out onto the floor. I moved closer, keeping my breath quiet, and peered through the narrow crack.

My breath caught violently in my throat, and I froze where I stood.

I met the two of them having sex. Maria was kneeling on the bed over Clara, her head buried between the young girl's thighs, her hands gripping Clara's hips tightly while Clara gasped and pulled at the silk bedsheets. She was sucking her pussy like I used to experience when Maria used to force her way into my own bed under the guise of pack duty.

I stood there in the dark, dark shadows of the hallway, watching them in complete shock.

Seeing them together in that quiet, hidden room brought a sudden, heavy ache to my chest. I had almost forgotten about sex, but seeing them just reminded me of everything I had been deprived of—the warmth, the touch, and the intimacy I was supposed to be sharing with my mate, Edward, now that my thirty-six days of healing were finally complete.

I pulled back from the door slowly, my heart heavy with a mixture of disgust, bitterness, and a burning desire to finally put an end to all the deceit in this palace.

  • GHOST REVENGE   ON AND ON

    MAYAThe silence in the sitting room stretched tight, pulled so thin it felt as if a single breath would snap it. Maria stared at me across the mahogany tea table, her dark eyes wide and fixed, her chest heaving beneath her velvet gown. The question I had thrown at her—Was that why you killed her?—hung in the air like a heavy cloud of smoke.Then, the dam broke.Maria went on and on explaining that she did not kill Philomena."I didn't kill her!" she burst out, her voice rising into a sharp, erratic screech that echoed off the high stone walls. She threw her hands in the air, pacing frantically back and forth across the rug, her silk skirt rustling loudly. "You don't know anything, Maya! You weren't here! You listen to rumors and old maid gossip and think you understand the history of this palace! She fell and hit her head and died! It was an accident! A tragic, foolish accident!"I didn't move an inch. I kept my palms flat on the dark wood of the table, my body completely still, watc

    MAYA"Are you looking for a child for the Alpha, or are you looking for a vagina to service?"I dropped the question into the quiet night air like a heavy iron weight. She was almost out of sight, her dark silk dress vanishing around the corner of the corridor, but I was loud enough and she heard.The sound of her retreating footsteps instantly stopped.The grandfather clock in the corner ticked loudly in the suffocating stillness—tick, tick, tick. I stood beside the small tea table, my knuckles white as I gripped the edge of the dark mahogany, my chest heaving up and down in shallow, controlled breaths. The Sacred Book of Pack Laws lay wide open on page ten in front of me, but I didn't need to look at the yellowed parchment anymore. The sick, twisted loophole was burned into my mind.For a long, agonizing moment, Maria didn't move. She stood frozen in the dim torchlight near the stone archway, her back turned to me, her shoulders stiff as a board under her heavy velvet cloak.Slowly,

    MAYAI woke up from the bad dream, my heart hammering against my ribs, drenched in cold sweat. I sat up in the dark, breathing heavily, clutching the bedsheets tightly in my hands.I refused to accept it.I shook my head violently in the quiet room. How could my own past self tell me I was never meant to hold a child? How could she tell me that bringing Edward’s baby into this world would end my life? No. I had fought through death, survived the cold earth of the tomb, and reclaimed my rightful place beside the man I loved. I was not going to let a vision or a ghost rob me of the ultimate joy of motherhood. I must have a baby, and not even the Moon Goddess can stop that.The next morning, Edward returned from his trip to the northern territory. He looked tired, his broad shoulders heavy with the weight of pack duties, but the moment he saw me, his amber eyes softened with that deep, familiar warmth. I didn't waste any time. After we embraced, I sat him down on the edge of our bed and

  • GHOST REVENGE   NO BABY FOR YOU

    MAYAThe palace had finally fallen into a quiet rhythm, but the calm was nothing more than the silence before a storm.I sat near the tall stained-glass window in the drawing room, sipping warm chamomile tea, watching the afternoon sun cast long shadows across the courtyard. Edward was always away handling pack business, and for a few days, I thought I could breathe.Then Maria walked into the room.She looked battered, her palms still calloused from sweeping the stone streets, but her face held that same insufferable, arrogant sneer. She held a thick leather binder under her arm and threw it onto the table in front of me with a heavy thud."What is this?" I asked, setting my cup down with a cold stare."Options," Maria said, crossing her arms over her chest. "The Alpha is not getting any younger. A pack cannot survive without a strong, blood-line heir, and since you seem to spend your nights casting dark spells instead of producing a child, I have taken matters into my own hands. I h

    MAYAMy heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird, but I kept my posture straight and my eyes fixed on the silver goblet in front of me.I said nothing, trying to ignore the question. I picked up my napkin and wiped the corner of my mouth as if I hadn't just spoken the name of a dead princess into the quiet dining hall.Edward didn't break his gaze. His amber eyes were blazing, his chest heaving under his dark tunic. "Maya, answer me! Who were you thanking?"Before I could invent a smooth lie, a sharp, ragged voice burst from the doorway."I told you! I told you she is possessed with evil and the spirit of the dead!" Maria screamed, staggering back into the grand hall, clutching her dirty sweeping cloak around her bruised shoulders. She looked unhinged, her hair wild and her eyes bloodshot as she pointed a trembling, dirt-stained finger straight at me. "You heard her, Edward! You heard her with your own ears! She just thanked the ghost of Philomena! She is using black magic t

  • GHOST REVENGE   REVENGE IS THE MISSION

    MAYADiscovering that Orlando was my dad made me happy and at the same time angry.I stood in the middle of the quiet cemetery, staring at his mossy headstone with a storm of emotions raging in my chest. I was angry because he should have told me the truth during those thirty-six days of my restoration. He had sat across from me, handed me the book and watched me cry, yet he kept his identity a secret. But at the same time, I was happy—deeply, overwhelmingly happy—that he loved me enough to cross the boundary between life and death just to save my soul and give me a second chance.I turned my head toward the woman standing beside me, my voice barely a whisper against the cool morning wind. "Does it mean the dead can see us?" I asked the woman at the grave.She looked at me with gentle, wise eyes, her woolen shawl wrapped tightly around her shoulders. "The dead do not just see us, my child," she replied softly. "Those who loved us in life remain as shadows and whispers around our steps
