THE CHUBBY LUNA’s CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO THE LYCAN KING 88
Maya's POVMerikh hovered over me, his eyes wide, vulnerable, and fixed on my face as he waited for my response."No," I said, my voice firm, and without a trace of hesitation. "I do not love Caleb. Whatever I felt for him died the moment he kicked me out of my own pack, locked me in that laboratory, tortured my son, and tried to destroy our lives. There is nothing left of him in my heart."Merikh let out a slow breath. A wave of visible relief washed across his features and for a second, his posture softened.Then, his body went rigid.He froze over me, his muscles locking tight. A low, pained grunt escaped his throat. He tried to push himself up off the mattress but his arms buckled beneath him. He rolled off the edge of the bed, landing hard on his feet."Merikh?" I sat up quickly, clutching the sheet to my chest.He didn't answer. He stood beside the bed, his back turned to me, his broad shoulders shaking.I watched his hands, they were trembling uncontrollably, his fingers spasmi

Maya's POVI stood beside Merikh, looking down at the wide square. Below us, thousands of pack members and local citizens had gathered.They stood shoulder to shoulder, filling the plaza from the central fountain all the way to the outer market gates.I gripped the cold ledge, my muscles tense.After weeks of public executions, military arrests and propaganda, I had prepared myself for a guarded and hostile crowd.Merikh raised his hand, activating the central broadcast system. His voice echoed clearly across the entire square."Citizens of the Capital," Merikh announced, his deep voice steady and calm. "We have gathered here today not to pass judgment but to correct an injustice committed by corrupt men inside our high council."He stepped back and gestured toward me. I stepped forward to the podium, opening the ledger containing the exoneration files."Under sovereign review," I declared, my voice carrying through the public speakers, "the capital court has officially struck down al

Merikh’s POVI left my royal escort at the archway and walked down the street alone, carrying a binder stamped with the sovereign seal.My destination was a small, neat cottage near the edge of the training grounds, the home of Sergeant Klaus, one of the twelve guard soldiers killed during Caleb’s mountain raid.I stepped onto the porch and knocked twice on the door.It opened to reveal Klaus’s widow, Elena. Her face was pale, her eyes dark and hollowed by grief.She looked at my broad frame, then at the sovereign seal on the binder, her expression hardening instantly."Alpha," she said, her voice dry and cold. "Have you come to remind me that my husband died acting as a pawn for traitors?""No, Elena," I said softly, unbuckling my belt and setting my gun on the porch railing before taking a step back. "I came to tell you the truth, and to ask for your forgiveness."She stared at me, startled by the gesture before stepping aside to let me enter the small sitting room.I sat at her kit

Maya's POVI sat on the edge of the bed in the boys' room, running my fingers through Leo’s soft hair.Liam was across the rug, stacking wooden blocks into a tall tower, completely engrossed in his game.Leo lay on his side, his hands clutching the edge of my clothes, his eyes wide and fixed on the door leading to the main corridor."He won't hurt you, sweet boy," I whispered softly, leaning down so only he could hear me. "Merikh brought us here to keep us safe. He isn't like Caleb."Leo pulled my shirt tighter in his fist. He shook his head slowly, his lip trembling."He's big," Leo whispered back, his tiny voice barely a breath. "And his eyes look like the men with the needles. He's going to send me away when you're not looking.""He won't," I assured him, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead. "He wants you here. I want you here.""I only trust you, Mamma," he muttered, burying his face into my waist. "Only you."My chest tightened. Rebuilding Leo's trust was not going to be a mat

Merikh’s POVMaya sat at the center of the table, cutting a piece of fruit for Liam, who sat on her left, swinging his small legs off the edge of his chair. To her right sat Leo.I pulled out my chair at the head of the table and sat down, setting a small bowl of warm porridge near the center."Leo," I said softly, keeping my voice low and smooth so I wouldn't startle him. "Here is some breakfast."I reached out my hand to gently slide the bowl closer to his place mat.The moment my fingers brushed the edge of his dish, Leo stiffened. His shoulders pulled high toward his ears and he flinched backward into his chair.His small hand darted out, grabbing the edge of Maya’s sleeve as he pressed his back against her side, wide eyes staring at my hand as if it held a weapon.I froze my hand in mid-air, keeping my fingers still before slowly retracting my arm to my side."Thank you, Merikh," Maya said gently, her hand coming down to cover Leo’s trembling fingers. She pulled the bowl the rest

Maya’s POVI stood in the nursery, looking down at my hands.The red marks left by the cuffs were already starting to fade, but the exhaustion in my bones remained.I took a deep breath, letting the scent of clean cotton clear the smell of the execution from my lungs.Across the room, Leo sat on the edge of the bed, his small hands holding a toy soldier. His dark eyes watched me carefully."Mamma?" he asked softly, his voice barely above a whisper.I crossed the room in two strides and sank to my knees on the floor, gathering him into my arms. I pulled him tight against my chest, burying my face in his hair.His small arms wrapped tightly around my neck, his heart beating fast against my collarbone."I'm here, sweet boy," I whispered, holding the back of his head. "I'm right here."For days, my mind had been locked in survival mode, calculating security overrides, managing council politics and enduring interrogation cells.Now, holding Leo’s warm weight in my arms, the adrenaline drai
