Maya's POV.

“A joke?” The alpha got in front of me on our way out of his living room.

“A joke? Is that seriously all you have to say?”

I swallowed hard, greasing my parched throat for the rest of the words to come.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

‘Tell him it's because you have trust issues.’ Melissa whispered in my thoughts. ‘Tell him it's because you were rejected before.’

I moved my lips to speak but the words rolled to the back of my throat.

“Speak!” Alpha William grew impatient.

“The seer says we were destined for each other. Do you really believe in that nonsense?”

“Nonsense?” He raised an eyebrow. “You call that nonsense?”

My stomach sank. My words weren't intended to be as deep as he was taking them.

“No one was made for another. Werewolves don't have soulmates.” I answered.

“The seer is trying to fool us.”

Alpha William looked at me one last time before he nodded and walked away.

I watched as he continued, not a single glance at me until he was at his door, then, with a sharp pull at his doorknob, William walked in and banged his door in my face, it's frame reverberating through the entire building.

I felt a strong pull in my wolf. Melissa was disappointed at me, pissed that I had said that to my mate.

“Why?” She questioned.

“I'm saving us.”

“Saving us from what?” She cried. “William has been so good to you and you know he's a good man. How could you even say that?”

Perhaps she was too excited to remember, or maybe she had truly forgotten, but I didn't. I still recalled the pain of Alpha Thomas’ rejection and how terribly it stung.

The Alpha king rejecting me again would shatter me, I knew that for sure, and that was why I needed confirmation before I allowed my heart to love him.

“We need time.” I told Melissa. My wolf still stirred, her anger still present, but there was nothing she could do.

“Tone it down girl,” I told her. “If it's meant to be, it will be.”

Looking back at that moment, I wish I hadn't said that to the alpha. 

He changed from that second.

*****

“Alpha Williams.” I greeted.

The alpha had his eyes glued to his phone, his mind distant from the present as he walked right past me.

“Alpha.” I called again, my voice holding more depth this time.

Still, he didn't say a word. Didn't acknowledge my greeting.

“Alpha!” I closed the distance between us.

“Alpha! Can you hear me?”

It wasn't until I poked the Alpha by his side that he lifted his eyes from his phone and glanced at me.

A glance so quick, I almost missed it.

“Yeah. Good morning.” And then he continued with his way.

I stood there, baffled by his abrupt answer. Alpha Williams was never this way with me.

“It's all your fault you know.” Melissa’s whisper intruded again. “God apologize to him for what you said. Tell him you didn't mean it.”

“But it's not like I said something insulting.”

“No. But it wasn't a compliment either. You must have shrunk his pride. You need to apologize. Go talk to him before it gets worse.”

I blinked away her words, shrugging slightly as I swirled to my direction too. The walls of my stomach cramped up with guilt but on the surface, I acted freer than a kite.

“You might regret this, Maya.” 

“I won't.”

***

Crack!

A spoon from a maid’s hand tumbled off the dinning table and crashed into the tiled floor, spilling food on the alpha's pants.

“I'm so sorry.” She stammering while her knees kissed the floor, wipe in her hand fastly trying to take the stain out.

The Alpha glanced at me at the other end of the dinning table for a moment before he tilted his head to her.

“Its fine. Clear the table, I will not eat anymore.”

“He's really mad at you. Apologize now before it gets too late.” Melissa reminded me.

My voice dropped with sob tears from the maid and then the screech from the alpha's chair as he adjusted it backwards and walked out on us.

“You fool!” Melissa screamed, “Apologize now or you're going to make things very bad for us.”

“I remember the seer saying you could walk through fire.” I mocked her, “I don't remember her saying anything about you seeing visions, besides I didn't do anything wrong.”

I continued with the meal served for the night, sipping my soup gently with the piece of bread in hand. 

The rest of my dinner was spent with Melissa yelling at me to go apologize to the alpha, but my behind was glued to the chair.

If anything, he was supposed to be the one apologizing to me.

What did I do?

******

The day that followed was a quiet one. The birds didn't chirp at sunrise like they always did. The sun didn't filter into my eyes and the cocks didn't crow that loudly.

The day started off quiet and was that way until mid noon, then the commotion started.

From the balcony of my room, I watched as maids rushed in and out of the mansion with items.

Beddings, new pillows, brooms, toilet cleaners, perfume and even new sets of curtains.

One maid told me it was for the Alpha's new guest that was arriving, when I called her to the side for chitchat.

“Any idea who it is?”

She swung her head slowly, hiding just beside the flower bush that shielded both of us enough to talk.

“But she's someone important.”

“She?”

Melissa stirred again. “This isn't funny, Maya. Go apologize to the Alpha now.”

Her words watered down when the maid kept talking.

“The guards say she will be coming into today by early evening and we're asked to clean the alpha's room for her.”

His room?

I felt a sting to my stomach as the realization of what that meant sank in. They were sharing a room.

“What's her name?” I leaned in closer, my eyes wide with curiosity, my throat dry and my hands feverish.

It could be his sister for all I knew.

But on second thought, the Alpha had no sisters.

So who?

    Maya's POV.“What are you…what are—The words stopped midway, my throat tightened, I could barely breathe. My knees buckled and my vision, it blurred for a second.“Why?” I managed to whisper.*What do you mean by “why?” Sarah rolled off the bed. Her heels clicked gently as she swayed her hips gently, her walk seductive and slow. The lingerie she wore was made of red lace everywhere except for the nipples that were marked by a bold ‘X’Sarah’s thighs were bare, her cleavage deep and exposed, her hair flying free and lush on her shoulders. She had on her lips a red cherry lipstain with a bright smile.“I came to see you.”“W-what do you mean you came to see me?” My lips quivered, fear dancing through my body.Sarah stopped right in front of me, her shoulders did a little dance forward like she was trying to show me her boobs. She dangled them long enough to her satisfaction before she stopped and then laughed.“I can't believe you actually thought I would be leaving you. I told you, I

    Maya's POV“That's the reason why you and the alpha couldn't have mates. You were meant to be together. You both are meant for a greater cause.”The seer's words kept repeating over and over in my head, echoing in my memory.“Greater cause.” I scoffed. “Greater cause and he brought a woman here.”The gossip from the maids didn't add to what I already knew.Whoever the guest was, ‘it’ was a ‘she’. She was not related to the alpha and he was having her stay in his room.“This is all your fault.” My wolf, Melissa warned me, but I paid her no mind.For all I knew, I did nothing wrong but test the alpha's commitment to me. “I am not about to throw myself into the arms of another man and get rejected again.”“You pushed him away and bruised his ego, of course he's going to reject you.”Her words became too loud, they drowned out my confidence and invoked more fear in me.“I'm sure I have nothing to do with this.” I affirmed my stance, my fist tight as my fingernails dug deep into my palm.

    Alpha William’s POV.“Give it to me straight. What is wrong with her?” I told the seer after I had made the guards take Maya to the next room.“What did you mean by ‘this is way beyond us’?”The seer, a fragile old woman whose physical appearance had been that way since I'd known her, stared at me straight in the eye before she looked away momentarily.“Nothing is wrong with her.”“Okay? So why did you say it is way beyond us.”She hesitated with an answer. “Her wolf… it's not regular.”The walls of my stomach tightened, “Is she cursed?”“No! Far from it. She's not cursed. She is just…just so…”Her words trailed off before she had the chance to complete them which made my anxiety skyrocket through the roof.I had no control of my body and had no idea when I grabbed her arm tightly, glaring at her. “Tell me!”With horror reflecting in her eyes, she parted her lips and the words came flowng down.“Her wolf is the strongest wolf I have ever seen.”Interesting.My grip on her arm loosened

  • The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate    Chapter 7

    Maya's POV.The alpha had not mentioned a single word of what had happened to me yet.All he did was ensure I had my clothes on and was properly invested in my bed before he left.I could see him from the side of my bathroom while I changed into my nightwear checking for marks on my bodies. Scars, burns, anything at all. He must have peeped over a thousand times before I called his name to ask if there was something wrong.“No. Nothing at all, get some sleep. Goodnight.” But then he left me and closed the door.The moment his footsteps disappeared into the silence hallway, I adjusted out of my bed and sat up straight.“Melissa.” I whispered. “Melissa, are you up?”“Hey Maya, what's up? What's going on?”“The coast is clear. We can talk now.”Before the fire started, Melissa stirred within me. She tumbled, scratched and howled inside of me.I thought of it as nothing, not until the fire blasted quickly and she took over my body without my control, shielding me off from the fire with a

    Alpha Williams’ POV.It was minutes after I had just witnessed what was before me and yet, my mouth lips wouldn't join.“What in the hell…”Justin murmured from underneath me. It was his voice that dragged me out of being lost.I looked down to see he was still pinned on the ground, nearly strangled by my grip but his eyes were in the same direction like mine, confused by what he was seeing.Just as I was.I loosened my grip on him, letting go of his collar so I could stand up to approach Maya.The untouched Maya.“What…what happened?” I was still in shock as I approached her. My Luna, May was untouched by the engulfing fire that had now burnt my Library into ashes.Everything had been burnt to ashes but yet, Maya had looked like she had been hidden in a compartment somewhere, shielded from the furnace.Even her dress was untouched. The hair on her head was untouched, her skin was shining and her face, beautiful.I reached for her arms, turning it side to side, just to make sure but
