THE CHUBBY LUNA’s CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO THE LYCAN KING 27
Maya's POVElder Kenneth stared at me in disbelief. "Reclaim the pack? Maya, what do you mean?""Before my father died, he tried to tell me a secret about the pack's succession and the family assets," I explained, leaning across the desk. "I need to know what he was hiding."Kenneth hesitated, his eyes filled with doubt before he sighed. "Your father left a massive personal inheritance specifically reserved for you, Maya. Millions in private funds, along with a thirty percent controlling share of the Red Leaf pack estate. But after your banishment, Caleb and his loyalists on the council forged documents, claiming your shares without your consent."I shook my head. "I made Caleb the Alpha of a pack he didn't build. I gave him everything. But that ends now."I looked Kenneth in the eye. "I need access to my father's private funds immediately. And I need you to arrange a clandestine meeting with the three most influential stronghold elders on the council."Kenneth recoiled. "A meeting wi

Maya's POVOver the next week, my strength returned but Merikh’s overprotectiveness only intensified. He treated me like fragile glass.He refused to let me do the simplest tasks, he was always around, helping me slide into my shoes and even insisting on carefully washing my hair in the bath.While I understood his fear after nearly losing me, the control quickly began to grate on my nerves.The breaking point arrived on a Tuesday morning. I stepped out of our quarters, intending to walk down the staircase to the dining hall for breakfast.Merikh appeared beside me instantly, reaching out to scoop me into his arms.I stepped back, throwing my hands up. "Merikh, stop!"He froze, his brow furrowing. "Maya, you are still recovering. The stairs—""I am not handicapped!" I snapped. "I can walk down a flight of stairs on my own. I need to move my body, and I need you to stop smothering me!"He stared at me for a while, reading the irritation in my eyes, before slowly dropping his hands. "Fi

Merikh’s POVA tear escaped my eye. "But he's alive, Maya. Thomas found him. He was brought back to me safe, and he's resting in our safe house right now."I lifted my head, looking back at her peaceful face. "The council is furious with me. They are demanding answers, throwing blame at you, calling you a curse upon our realm. They want me to strip your title and send you away." I shook my head, my jaw tightening. "They don't understand you like I do. I need you to wake up, Maya. I need you to open your eyes and prove every single one of those arrogant old men wrong."I raised her hand to my lips, a gentle kiss against her cold knuckles."I miss you," I whispered, my eyes burning with unshed tears. "I miss your fire, your stubbornness, your strength. Please, Maya... come back to me.”Over the following week, the silence of the estate became unbearable.Reconstruction began immediately on the west wing, with crews working through the night to clear stone and replace ruined foundations.

Merikh’s POVI stood over the chair where Caleb sat securely bound, his wrists and ankles strapped tight with restraints. His head hung low against his chest, his breathing ragged as blood dripped onto his ruined suit trousers.I picked up a bucket filled to the brim with ice-cold water and dumped it over his head.Caleb gasped, flinching as the freezing water jolted him back to consciousness.He coughed up a mixture of water and blood, his eyes opened before snapping up to glare at me with anger."You... you crazy son of a bitch!" Caleb spat, his swollen lips quivering as he tried to pull against the straps. "What the hell is the meaning of this humiliation?! I am an Alpha! You drag me into your dungeons like a common criminal? I could have that human bastard child killed with a single phone call! His life support gets pulled the second my men realize I haven't checked in!"My blood boiled, and the remaining shreds of my patience snapped.I stepped into his space, my hand reaching ou

Merikh’s POV"I brought her into this chamber so you could hear the name directly from her lips," I said. "It will not come from my mouth, but from the mouth of the traitor who carried out the task."I turned my head, offering the kneeling girl a silent nod. "Speak the truth now, and your death will be swift."A flicker of desperate realization sparked in her bruised, swollen eyes. She understood the unspoken offer, a clean execution over a drawn-out death in the dungeon.She raised her head slightly, her trembling gaze sweeping across the hall. For a brief moment, her eyes locked onto a specific section of the council tribunal. A sudden flash of recognition and desperate hope washed across her face.I shifted my eyes upward, attempting to trace her exact line of sight to see which elder she was staring at, but the girl caught herself.She snapped her head down, breaking the connection before I could pinpoint the target of her gaze."It was Alpha Caleb," she squeaked out, her voice th

Maya's POVI sat in front of the Council members and the twelve elders of the Lycan tribunal looked down upon me.Their demanding voices echoed off the walls, layering judgment upon judgment."You have failed in your most fundamental duty as Alpha, Merikh," Elder Julian shouted, slamming his heavy palm against the table. "A breach of this magnitude on our central estate is unprecedented! An ancient fortress that stood unyielding through three centuries of continental war now lies charred and ruined because you allowed our vigilance to slip!""Your fa
