last update Last Updated: 2025-11-14 18:23:54

Maya's POV

Two days of traveling through unclaimed territories brought us to the edge of a hidden valley I never knew existed.

I stood at the ridgeline with Derek and my thirty followers, looking down at what my mother had built. It wasn't just a camp, it was a small village. Wooden structures built into the natural landscape, training grounds, gardens, even what looked like a medical facility. Seventy wolves, Victoria had said. From here, it looked like more.

"That's... impressive," Derek whispered beside me.

It was. My mother hadn't just been surviving out here. She'd been thriving. Building something real.

"Stay here," I told my people. "Let me go down first. Make sure it's safe."

"Maya, we should come with you," Derek protested.

"No." My voice was firm. "If this goes wrong, I need you to get everyone out. Understand?"

He didn't like it, but he nodded.

I made my way down the slope alone, my enhanced senses picking up everything. Guard posts hidden in the trees. Sentries w

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 51: “The Luna Who Plans the War”

    Seraphina's POV "I'm not sure I.." "I was promised to the Blackwood brothers when I was six years old," I said, my voice hardening. "Six. My entire childhood, my entire adolescence, my entire young adult life was spent preparing to be their Luna. Learning politics, diplomacy, pack management, combat. Everything I did, every choice I made, was in service of that future." I moved to my desk, picking up a photograph of the brothers taken years ago. "And then some nobody, a low-born, damaged, genetically modified freak, gets artificially bonded to them and everything I worked for becomes uncertain. Suddenly I'm competing with a girl who shouldn't even exist. A science experiment that got lucky." "But you won," Marcus pointed out. "You're the Luna now. They chose you." "They chose practicality," I corrected bitterly. "They chose political alliance and pack stability. But don't think I didn't see it in their eyes during the mating ceremony. The doubt. The guilt. The way they flinched w

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 50: "Seraphina's Gambit"

    Seraphina's POV I watched from my office window as Karl Blackwood slipped out of the pack house at midnight, heading toward the forest with a backpack and determined expression. "Idiot," I murmured, sipping my wine. "Absolute idiot." "Should we follow him?" my lieutenant, Marcus (I'd kept the name as a small joke), asked from behind me. "No need." I turned from the window, smiling. "I already know where he's going. Who he's meeting. What he thinks he's accomplishing." I'd known about Karl's little rebellion for days now. My spies were better than he gave me credit for. Every "secret" meeting with Elijah. Every encrypted message to Elena Rodriguez. Every piece of "intelligence" he thought he was stealing. I'd allowed all of it. "You're going to let him continue?" Marcus asked, confused. "Of course." I settled into my chair, feeling the satisfaction of a plan falling perfectly into place. "Karl thinks he's being clever, playing double agent, feeding information to Maya's mother.

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 49: “Trying to Make It Right”

    Karl's POV "And Elijah?" "Elijah is with me," I said. "He wants to help. He's been secretly documenting everything Seraphina does, every order she gives, building a case against her." "And yet you're here alone," Elena observed. "Because if Seraphina suspects all of us are turning against her, she'll move up her timeline. She'll attack immediately, and we'll lose any chance to evacuate your people." I met Elena's eyes. "I'm here because I'm expendable. If she finds out and kills me, Nathan and Elijah can still work from the inside." Elena studied me for a long moment. "You're willing to die for this." "I'm willing to die for Maya," I corrected. "Even if she never forgives me. Even if she hates me until her last breath. She deserves better than to become what the packs tried to make her." Dr. Morrison looked up from his computer. "The data is legitimate. Everything he said about Project Apex, about Maya's genetics, about the mate bond manipulation, it's all documented here." He

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 48: "The Double Agent"

    Karl's POV I stood in the darkness outside Elena Rodriguez's compound, my heart hammering against my ribs. This was insane. If anyone found out I was here, if Seraphina discovered I'd made contact with Maya's mother, I'd be executed for treason. But I was out of options. "You have five minutes before my guards shoot you where you stand," Elena's voice came from the shadows. She emerged, flanked by two armed wolves, her expression cold and unforgiving. "Talk fast, Blackwood." "I need your help," I said simply. "To stop Seraphina. And to save Maya from herself." Elena laughed, but there was no humor in it. "You want me to help you? After what you and your brothers did to my daughter? After you tried to execute her?" "I know." The words tasted like ash. "I know we failed her. Betrayed her. Destroyed her. I know there's no forgiveness for what we did." I took a step closer, ignoring the guards' weapons raising. "But if someone doesn't stop this war, everyone dies. Including Ma

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 47: Becoming The Silver Death

    Maya's POV Faces paled. People looked at their neighbors with suspicion. "Whoever planted this has one chance," I said. "Come forward now, confess, and I'll make it quick. Make me hunt you down, and what happened to Thomas will look merciful." Silence. "Fine." I started walking through the crowd, studying faces. My enhanced senses picked up every rapid heartbeat, every nervous breath, every bead of sweat. I stopped in front of a woman named Claire. She'd been with us for a month, always helpful, always reliable. "It's you," I said quietly. "No! Maya, I would never.." I grabbed her arm and found what I was looking for, a small tattoo hidden on her inner wrist. A raven in flight. "Raven," I said. "That's your code name, isn't it?" Claire's face crumpled. "Please, they have my daughter! Seraphina said if I didn't report back, they'd kill her! I had no choice!" "There's always a choice," I said coldly. "Maya, wait!" Elena pushed forward. "If her daughter is being held hostage

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 46: "Poisoned Trust"

    Maya's POV I woke up three days later in a makeshift medical tent, my body screaming in agony. The battle was a blur of blood and silver light in my memory. I remembered killing, so much killing. Remembered the coalition forces breaking and running. I remembered Alpha Cornelius's head in my hands before everything went dark. "She's awake," someone called out. My mother appeared at my bedside, her face drawn and exhausted. "How do you feel?" "Like I died and came back wrong," I croaked. My throat was raw, my voice barely recognizable. "What happened?" "You went critical. The serum overloaded your system and you..." Elena hesitated. "You killed forty-three wolves before you collapsed. The coalition forces retreated. We managed to evacuate to a secondary location." Forty-three. I'd killed forty-three wolves in a single rampage. "Good," I said flatly. Elena's face tightened. "Maya, you nearly died. Your body shut down completely. If Dr. Morrison hadn't.." "Where's Thomas?" I int
