Maya's POV

Once we got to the precise location, four men stepped out, bearing the crest of my father's old guard. I recognized the lead man immediately as Hector, my uncle Kenneth’s head of security.

I pushed open my door and stepped out into the cold.

    Merikh’s POVThe neutral zone guesthouse smelled of smoke and fresh copper.When my extraction unit breached the door, the hallway exploded into a fight.Caleb’s men, three elite in armor, were already driving their advantage home and hacking at the bedroom door at the end of the hall.We gave them no quarter.With a sweep, I severed the guard and drove my dagger through his collarbone, dropping him instantly to the floor.Behind me, my guards cut down the remaining two.The hallway fell silent except for the heavy breathing of my men and the terrified sounds coming from inside the room.I stepped over the corpse at my feet, kicked the door open and raised my gun scanning the shadows.Hunched in the far corner, bleeding from a gash on his forearm and clutching a bloody satchel to his chest, was Kenneth.When he saw me, he flinched, squeezing his eyes shut and bracing for the blow."Put down the steel, Kenneth," I commanded. "You're safe. Caleb's men are dead."Kenneth opened one eye s

    Maya's POVInstead of letting the revelations about Caleb and Selene paralyze me, I channeled every ounce of my frustration into the work Merikh had entrusted to me.If Selene wanted to play mind games, she would find herself fighting a Luna who was no longer hiding behind closed doors.My first destination was the lower valley construction site.For the past two hours, I had walked the perimeter of the new water purification plant, reviewing pipe layouts and questioning site foremen on their material counts.Now, I climbed the steps leading toward the newly expanded infirmary wing.Inside, the scent of antiseptic was strong."Lady Maya," a respectful voice called out.I turned to see Dr. Alistair, the head physician of the Kingdom, striding down the aisle toward me, wiping his hands on a clean cloth. He bowed his head slightly as he approached."Doctor," I acknowledged, offering a firm nod. "How is the expansion progressing? I want a full breakdown of our trauma supplies.""Better th

    Maya's POVFor a moment, she remained pinned against the wall, her hand pressed to her face. The superior and mocking composure she had worn like armor all morning was shattered.Slowly, Selene pushed herself away from the wall. Her chest heaved and when she lowered her hand, her expression twisted into anger."You think you’re untouchable now, don't you?" Selene hissed, her voice vibrating with resentment that seemed to crawl straight out of our shared past. "You think a slap makes you strong? You have spent your entire life stealing everything that ever belonged to me!"I crossed my arms over my chest, holding my ground without flinching. "I didn't steal anything from you, Selene. You abandoned your home, faked your own death, and hid in the shadows for a decade. Whatever you lost, you threw away yourself.""No!" Selene shrieked, taking a step toward me before catching herself, her fingers curling into trembling fists at her sides. "You took it all! From the very beginning! You took

    Maya's POVMy chest rose and fell in gasps. My fingers curled into tight fists at my sides as my entire world narrowed down to the small, trembling frame of the boy sitting in front of me.I had surrendered my pride, my position and my protective barriers just to keep a child from bleeding out on the floor.Then, the tension in Selene’s shoulders suddenly shifted.A breathy sound broke the quiet. It started as a low rumble in her chest and quickly bubbled over into a loud laughter.It wasn't a nervous laugh or a giggle of amusement. It was mocking and utterly devoid of human warmth."Oh, Maya," Selene gasped, shaking her head as she tossed the fork carelessly onto the table. "You really are pathetic, aren't you?"My breath hitched. The panic freezing my veins instantly gave way to confusion. "What?""Look at you, shaking like a wet dog over a minor domestic dispute," Selene mocked, stepping away from Leo’s chair and smoothing down the front of her emerald dress. "Did you actually thin

    Maya's POVHe stepped closer, closing the distance between us. Before I could process his movement, his strong arms reached out and wrapped firmly around my waist.He pulled my body flush against his chest, lifting me slightly off the ground effortlessly.I gasped, looking up into his eyes."Merikh, what–"Before I could finish the sentence, he lowered his head and captured my lips in a deep, slow and passionate kiss.There was no hesitation in it or logistics. It was consuming and desperate, leaving my lungs burning for air and my fingers gripping his jacket, begging for more even as my mind spun out of control.When he finally pulled away, my breathing was ragged and my lips trembling.He rested his forehead gently against mine, his thumb brushing slowly across my cheekbone."All of this will be resolved when I return," Merikh murmured softly, his voice filled with emotion. "Protect the kids, Maya. Keep them safe inside these walls."He didn't wait for my answer. He pressed one fina

    Maya's POVLiam's small hands clung to my robe, his body shaking against my side.Across the room, Selene stood immobile. Her chest heaved as her eyes locked onto the boy who had just rejected her in favor of a stranger."You think you can steal my son?" Selene hissed as took a step forward. "You think because you managed to sink your claws into Merikh that you can play mother to my child?""I didn't steal anything," I answered, keeping my voice low as I shielded Liam further behind my back. "He woke up terrified because you broke into his room in the middle of the night like an intruder."Selene's lips curled back in a snarl. She pointed a trembling finger straight at my face."Listen to me very carefully, Maya," she whispered. "If you keep trying to take my son away from me, if you ever stand between us again, you will regret it more than anything you have ever known in your life."She didn't wait for a response and glared at me before walking away.I stood frozen for a long moment,
