Maya’s POVI whipped my head to the source, where I paled to see Alpha Zeke standing next to me.“A-Alpha. I was just… Um…” My voice was caught in my throat, unable to speak or save myself from the trouble I was sure to be in.“So now that you’ve heard, tell me, what are your thoughts?” he asked with a dangerous smile on his face.I wasn’t sure if he was testing me or genuinely asking for my opinion, as my mouth opened itself to answer. “Well, Isabelle is beautiful, and she is a well-known influencer. Are you sure about breaking up with her? You should probably reconsider.”I wanted to slap myself at the last part, for it sounded much like I was telling him what to do. How could I- a mere human- dare order a werewolf with little to no relation to me? Much less an Alpha.To my slight relief, the Alpha scoffed at my answer. “We don’t have the relationship you're imagining. We're just in it for what we want. My wealth and fame for her body. That was the deal we made,” he said.For her b
Maya’s POVI was just confused by Alpha Zeke’s claim. But he didn't explain too much. “Tell me something, Maya. Why did you come to this pack?” He looked curiously at me, instead. “I don’t believe in coincidences. And I doubt you came here because of something as silly as ‘love’.”“What do you mean?” I swallowed hard, and replied nervously. He walked towards the desk and took out some sheets of paper and old photos from the drawer, making my eyes dilate slightly with their contents. “Since our first meeting, I have ordered an investigation on your identity. You’re not just any human, you were an adopted human child. Whose parents are werewolves of this very Red Night Pack.”It felt like a small eternity when he unmasked me. I was left speechless at that, for it was true. My biological parents died of an overdose when I was six. Once Child Protective Services stepped in, I was sent to a foster home. That’s where I met Chris and Eliza for the first time. I knew little of their histor
Maya’s POVIt would be an understatement to say that I was exhausted from today’s events. After I reluctantly signed the contract, I was allowed to return home and relax for a bit. It was 7pm when I arrived, Corina turned out to be absent from her house, most likely due to overtime. Since I didn’t have anything else to do, I decided to pack up my stuff for the time being. I stopped when I found a particular piece of clothing in the wardrobe. That being a lingerie, sort of a seduction tool Corina spoke of. ‘I should’ve just tossed this away by now,’ I thought, finding no reason to keep this skimpy clothing. Alpha Zeke ‘hired’ me to be his girlfriend, and I doubted a werewolf like him would need me to wear anything like this for him to enjoy his ways with me. Although…‘In case if he’s ever in a bad mood, this could help me somewhat,’ I decided, putting the lingerie in my bag with everything else.“Hey, Maya! I’m home!” came Corina’s bubbly voice. I hastily closed my luggage and rushe
Maya’s POVIt took about another half hour of driving, but we finally made it to a building near the Moon Valley. It was more of a secluded mansion, which stood silently with its tall, white columns framing the porch. A marble fountain at the entrance with its surrounding greenery highlighted the huge archways over the doors. Once we headed inside, though, I felt as if I was instantly transported to France. From the roof painting overhead to the vintage knick-knacks that dotted the shelves. Everything was so new to me. More than that, though…“Welcome home, Alpha.” Lines of servants on either side of the carpet went in. I was just flabbergasted, not sure how to act in such an environment. Not even back in the human world had I ever stepped foot in a place like this. “We have a guest staying with us for a while. This is Maya, treat her like you would each other,” Zeke ordered.“Yes, Alpha,” they answered in unison.“Then, Miss Maya, right this way,” a maid approached me as I spun slo
I turned to the source and saw Jayden also in the training grounds, sparring with another werewolf. He abandoned the spar, approaching me with a questionable expression. “What the hell are you doing here?!” he questioned.“Alpha wants me here,” I frowned, not feeling like talking to him any more.“Don’t tell me you actually slept with the Alpha.” He said through gritted teeth, his face clouded, “Since when were you such a slut? Were you faking that whole ‘good girl’ act this whole time?”I was instantly offended by the questions. Especially as I did not want to hear any of those from him of all people. Not when he pretended to be a good man to me, not when he pretended to genuinely help me only to turn out to be using me, and certainly not when he cheated on me. “What I do with the Alpha is not your business,” I retorted, “How about you go back to your sparring match? Or better yet, go back to your own slut.”Jayden narrowed his eyes with a glare at my retort, a growl escaping his l
Zeke’s POVWhen I agreed to help this human solve her problem, it was to right a wrong that was committed to her by one of my people. If I let this crime slide, who knew what more Jayden would do to abuse his authority. Worse, if rumors had spread, I would have either seen as a weak, irresponsible Alpha to other packs. Those I especially couldn’t have.“Hey, Maya. Maya!” I called, kneeling by her side, with several other of my men.“Hey, is she okay?!”“Idiot, of course not! You know how painful a rejection is to us werewolves. For a human who is weaker than us, it has to be even worse!”I grew more worried when I heard one of my men say that. Though we were in a relationship, it was nothing more than a contracted relationship, not one of pure, fond feelings towards one another. And yet… as I looked down at her fainted figure, taking in her scent in full, something stirred in me. There was a strange scent on her. It was only after I helped her get rid of Jayden’s mark that I realized
Zeke’s POVI was sitting in my room, looking over some financial reports from Nocturne Co., as well as some projects and business proposals being made to other packs. Normally, I would be in my office doing this work, but feel uneasy leaving this room. Leaving Maya here alone.A few days passed since she became free of Jayden’s mark, suffering the aftermath of the rejection in the process. Since then, she had been asleep in my bed. Stuck in a coma, as Maryanne said she would be.Maryanne had been doing her job to check on her daily, giving her IV fluids as needed, and even helping her injuries heal, but there had been no sign of her waking at all. If it weren’t for the heart rate monitor she’s been strapped to, I would’ve thought she was… dead.The thought frightened me a bit, as I glanced at her sleeping form again. ‘This is all because of that damn Delta,’ I thought in realization, feeling my wolf raging just thinking about that guy. If it turned out that Maya would never wake or d
“I believe I told you there was nothing I could do.”“Not the one I had you search for.” As she raised her glass to her lips, she froze at my correction. The content was not even hitting her lips yet, as she lowered the glass. “This one is different. This one… is my second.”That got her attention, as she turned to me in interest. “I’ve heard how wolfie here has moved on. With a human, no less. So it was true? What a surprise,” she stated.I was in no mood to play games with her, and continued with my request. “She’s in a coma right now. Having suffered from the aftereffects of a rejection some time back. Her body, especially, suffered the most, as it’s now covered in blood and bruises. She’s been showing no signs of waking up since then. Do you have anything to help her break out of her coma?”“Plenty,” Wendy answered, grabbing something from her pocket. “Just so happens I brought one with me.”She handed the bottle to me, in which I took it in my hands and inspected it. “That’s use
