MATED TO MY BULLIES Chapter 25: “The Perfect Scapegoat”
Maya's POV "Let me understand this," he said. "You think Seraphina, our Luna, is deliberately poisoning her own pack? The pack she's worked so hard to integrate into and improve?" "Look at the evidence," I pleaded, waving the paper. "The pattern of illness, the symptoms, this note.." "What note?" Elijah asked, squinting at the crumpled paper. "All I see is a piece of trash with some illegible scribbles on it." I looked down at the paper in my hands and felt my heart sink. In the lamplight, I could see that the ink had smudged badly, making most of the writing impossible to read. The few words I'd been able to make out clearly were now just blurred marks. "It was clearer before," I said desperately. "The ink must have smudged, but I swear it mentioned the well system and eliminating weak members." "Maya," Stephen's voice was carefully patient, like he was talking to a child having a tantrum. "Do you hear yourself right now? You're standing in our private study, accusing our
MATED TO MY BULLIES Chapter 24: "Poison in the Well"
Maya's POV It started with the children. I was scrubbing the floors in the main hall when I heard the first mother crying. Sarah Martinez, one of the pack's beta wives, was carrying her five-year-old son Tommy, the same boy who'd been putting silver in my food and he was burning with fever, his small body limp in her arms. "Please," she begged Dr. Harrison as he examined the child in the medical wing. "He was fine yesterday morning, playing in the gardens. Now he won't eat, won't speak, can barely stay awake." From my position mopping nearby, invisible as always, I watched the doctor frown over Tommy's pale, sweating form. The boy's lips had a strange bluish tint, and his breathing was shallow and labored. "Has he eaten anything unusual?" Dr. Harrison asked. "Been anywhere he shouldn't have?" "Nothing different from the other children," Sarah replied, tears streaming down her face. "They all drink from the same well, eat the same food in the pack dining hall..." By eveni
MATED TO MY BULLIES Chapter 23: When the Bond Shattered
Maya's POV Everything I never was and never could have been. The words hurt, but they were probably true. I turned away and went back to washing dishes, trying to focus on the mechanical task instead of the conversation in the dining room. The dinner lasted until nearly midnight. By the time I finished cleaning the kitchen and washing the last plate, I was exhausted and my hands were raw from the harsh soap. All I wanted was to collapse on my thin mattress and sleep until Mrs. Harrow woke us for another day of invisible servitude. But as I made my way through the castle's corridors, I realized I'd left my cleaning supplies in the main hall. If Mrs. Harrow found them there in the morning, she'd make my life even more miserable than it already was. I trudged back through the darkened hallways, my footsteps echoing softly on the marble floors. The castle was quiet now, the guests gone, the family presumably asleep. I gathered my bucket and rags from where I'd left them near the main
MATED TO MY BULLIES Chapter 22: "The Servant's Life"
Maya's POV The servant's quarters were worse than my cell had been. At least in the dungeon, I'd had my own space, even if it was tiny and cold. Now I shared a cramped room with three other servants, sleeping on a thin mattress on the floor while they whispered about me in the dark, calling me cursed and dangerous. Mrs. Harrow woke us before dawn every morning with sharp commands and assignment lists. The other servants got normal duties, tending the gardens, cleaning the guest rooms, helping with meals. I got the jobs no one else wanted. "Rodriguez," she snapped on my third morning as a servant, "you're on dungeon duty today. Empty the waste buckets, scrub the floors, bring meals to any prisoners we have." The dungeons. They were making me clean the place where I'd been imprisoned, where I'd nearly died from silver poisoning. I wondered if that was Seraphina's idea or just cruel coincidence. "Yes, ma'am," I said quietly, too tired to argue. The work was backbreaking. My body w
MATED TO MY BULLIES Chapter 21: Broken
Maya's POV Every eye in the room seemed to turn toward me for a moment. I kept my gaze fixed on the floor, my face burning with shame and rage. The doors at the far end of the hall opened, and the brothers entered in formal procession. They were dressed in matching dark suits, their hair perfectly styled, their faces radiating confidence and happiness. They looked like they belonged in a magazine, not like men who were betraying their true mate. Stephen led the procession, his easy smile making my heart clench. Behind him came Nathan, practically glowing with joy. Karl followed with his typical measured grace, and Elijah brought up the rear, more relaxed than I'd seen him in months. They took their places at the front of the hall, and I felt the mate bond stretch and strain as they actively worked to suppress their connection to me. Each rejection felt like a knife twisting in my chest, but I forced myself to stay upright, stay silent. Then the music began, and Seraphina made her
MATED TO MY BULLIES Chapter 20: "The Mating Ceremony"
Maya's POV The heavy footsteps echoing down the stone stairs jolted me from the restless sleep I'd finally managed to fall into. My body ached from another night of fighting the silver poison coursing through my veins, and the mate bond continued to pulse with waves of rejection that left me gasping for breath. Beta Thomas appeared at my cell door, flanked by two guards I didn't recognize. His face was carefully neutral, but I could see something like pity flickering in his weathered eyes. "Maya," he said formally, "the pack council has made their decision. You're to come with us." I struggled to sit up on my narrow bed, my weakened muscles protesting every movement. "What decision?" "The Luna ceremony," one of the guards said coldly. "Miss Seraphina will officially be recognized as the pack's Luna and mated to the four alphas." The words hit me like a physical blow. I'd known this was coming, had felt it building through the fragments of emotion I still caught through the
