LEONARDOOne good thing in a week.It was a pact between us. I could still hear her voice rumbling softly against my chest. We both agreed to do one good thing to ease the guilt weighing us down.I hated the guilt I carried against that pack though they hurt me first. Still, one good thing. Maybe the moon goddess would see it and ease the loneliness. Maybe, one day, I would have a family of my own.I yearned for a family filled with love.For laughter at the dining table.For the chance to be called daddy.But growing up, I never had any of that. Father only compared Jethro and me, always pressuring us to be the best. Only the strongest could claim the Alpha position.As for my mother? She was gone. Probably dead. She had been a maid but she was unlucky to be my father’s mate hence she was never acknowledged. He took me from her and cast her aside, saying she would taint my aura with her weakness. He preferred his chosen mate since she was the beta’s daughter. I hated him for that. I
MAYA. “What if we can’t undo the harm?” I asked, my voice a whisper. I felt that woman’s pain and it was nerve wrecking. I really didn't know the extent of my damage. How many women I had hurt. The thought of it made my heart drum with dread. “Then we do something small one good thing, for them or someone else. No one has to know about it. Just you, me, and the universe,” he said, his voice still sounding sleeping. “Like a pact?” I asked. He smiled faintly, I could feel his face stretch on my chest. “A pact.” I was smiling in the kitchen, working with Giana who was formulating herbs for our new menu. “You have been smiling all day. Are your new drugs are working well?” Giana asked. I raised my head and she was looking at me. “What?” “You told Emma you were going to get drugs, and you have been smiling ever since you came back.” I scratched the back of my head smiling. “But you didn't come home last night?” Emma stepped in at the same time. Shit. How the hell was I supp
JETHROI had been watching Maya since she got into the pack house. On her own, she got her hands on the potion and slept with the Alpha. After I helped her escape, I connected her with Stella and Giana.Maya thought that she found Stella and Giana on her own, but I made it possible.I’d been watching her every movement since then.Giana almost messed it up when she introduced her to a dating site which, strangely, Leonardo was on top of. I had never thought that a day like this would come. After the death of Bianca, Leonardo stayed away from women. It was strange and hard to do for Alphas because their sexual drive was high.I figured things out and stepped in to save the day.Good thing it was at the same time I found Bertha to fill in for her sister. Bertha didn’t even know that the slut she filled in for was her stepsister. This was why they had the same face, making it impossible for Jerald to tell them apart.They also had the same arm tattoo, as it was in their lineage. Maya was
MAYA. Someone knew about me. About the baby. They say they would protect me but for how long? It had to be the same person who helped me out of the pack house. What did they want? Would I be able to meet up with their expectations? I looked at my babies, they were asleep now. I hurt them. They didn't deserve this life I had created for them. I didn't want to cry. Not now. I didn't want to think about it either. So I called one of the ladies, Emma. She loved them. “Where are you headed?” She asked. “I need to get some drugs.” I lied. I couldn't tell them I was going to do the one thing I knew would keep me sane for a little while. Drink. “Alright, be safe!” She kissed the side of my cheek and took the kids with her. I walked to my room to get dressed. I grabbed the wig I used to cover my real identity. I hardly ever showed my ginger curls and my green eyes. Because this was Maya. In Maya Havens, I had hazel contacts and brown hair. As Angela - the slut- I had black conta
LEONARDO. I hurried back to the pack, my heart pounding in my chest. I was finally going to meet my baby and part of me couldn't believe it was happening. Jerald he was in the front seat next to me was shaken as I drove without a pause. “Alpha… I don't have a second life.” His voice trembled as I made another turn that almost threw him out of the car. “You should be thankful you still have your first one.” Finally, I was back in the packhouse. Jumping out of the driver’s seat, I headed for the living room. “Where is she?” I barked as I stepped in. As expected, Jethro was in the living room but he wasn't with a pregnant woman. He was with a girl, not pregnant. I overlooked at, my gaze fixed on Jethro. “Where is she?” I asked again, my heart pounding really hard. “Here,” Jethro said, pointing at the lady in front of me. My eyes dropped to her stomach but there was nothing there. I let the bile in my throat sink to my belly but it didn't stop the pain that spread through my ches
MAYAI knew her.The vision, it was so familiar, it ran through my body like ice.I did this to her.I was the one who hurt her.Why… why was I seeing this?Tears streamed down both sides of my face.I opened my eyes and saw her staring at me, confused, surprised by my reaction.I took a step back.She kept looking at me, those ombre eyes locked on mine, still stunned.“Are you okay?” she asked.I turned away, wiping my tears.This was all my fault. The vision… it had been so real. I did that to her.I… I slept with her husband.The confession in my head felt like acid—burning through every part of me.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, the tears refusing to stop.“I’m really, really sorry.” I looked her in the eyes, and she raised her brows, trying to understand what I meant.How could I tell her that her husband had paid me—for years—to sleep with him?That I was the reason their bond had been damaged?At that moment, the children started crying.I rushed to them and found Jenna’s violet ey
