INICIAR SESIÓN“Alpha Maverick,” Logan called as he stepped into the room. “Once the agreement is stamped, will we be leaving today?”“I hope so,” Maverick replied, his tone calm as his eyes scanned the room in search of Aurora.He walked toward the bathroom and pushed the door open, glancing inside.Empty.Aurora wasn’t there.“Alpha Maverick…” Logan called again, noticing his restlessness. “Is something bothering you?”Maverick let out a low sigh. “I… need to clear my head. I’ll be heading to my company for a while. I need a break from all of this.”Logan frowned slightly but nodded.Maverick owned one of the largest companies in the city, a powerful establishment that operated among humans and other hidden wolf-owned businesses. It served as both a cover and a base of influence, since revealing their true identities to humans was strictly forbidden.Though Maverick didn’t visit often, whenever he did, it was usually because something weighed heavily on his mind.Beta Logan, taken aback by Maveric
Aurora took a warm bath, freshening up for the day. With no clothes of her own, she picked out one of Maverick’s black T-shirts and slipped it on. It hung loosely on her body like a gown, ending just above her thighs. She tied her hair into a ponytail, then grabbed a clean pair of Maverick’s underwear and wore it before stepping out of the room, not bothering to wait for the meal that was meant to be brought to her. She hadn’t eaten since the previous day, and hunger was beginning to settle in.As Aurora walked down the hallway, she noticed how unusually quiet it was which was unlike the liveliness she had seen the day before.Meanwhile, Maverick had left his room an hour earlier and headed straight to the Bloodfang Pack’s council hall, where Alpha Ethan had summoned him for a meeting.Upon arriving, Maverick took a seat and waited patiently. Making a strong first impression was important, and he wasn’t about to appear careless.After about seven minutes, Alpha Ethan finally walked in
This time, Aurora was fully aware of what was happening.Aurora could still feel the sting in her chest from Alpha Orion’s rejection the previous day, but the sudden kiss seemed to blur that pain, pushing it to the back of her mind, if only for a moment.The kiss wasn’t like the one from the night before. It was slower, more deliberate, yet somehow more intense. There was no haze of alcohol to blur it, no confusion to hide behind. Every movement, every touch felt clear, and that made it far more dangerous.Aurora wanted to pull away. She told herself this wasn’t right. It shouldn’t feel right. But her body betrayed her, responding to his lips in a way she couldn’t control.She didn’t kiss him back.She didn’t follow his lead as he tilted his head or tightened his hold on her. Her hands stayed frozen at her sides, her body tense. Her toes curled, her breath caught, and her eyes squeezed shut.Inside her, Nyx stirred, restless and conflicted, caught between resistance and a quiet pull s
Maverick’s shut his eyes as the kiss happened so suddenly that it completely caught Aurora off guard.Her eyes flew open. Her hand lifted slightly in the air, fingers curling into a loose fist as she held her breath, stunned by the sudden shift between them.Maverick’s lips moved against hers with a hunger he didn’t try to hide.To him, she tasted intoxicating. Sweet, yet laced with the sharp burn of vodka, a combination that made it impossible to pull away. He deepened the kiss, his grip tightening as if he needed to prove something to himself.Aurora felt lightheaded, like she had been pulled into something she couldn’t quite understand, something overwhelming and impossible to resist.Slowly, Maverick pulled back.His eyes opened, locking onto hers.For a brief moment, hesitation flickered across Maverick’s face as his gaze moved over her. Desire, jealousy, frustration… they all clashed within him, leaving him unsteady in a way he wasn’t used to.Kael stirred within him, restless a
If looks could kill, Aurora would have been six feet beneath the ground already, reduced to ashes under the sheer intensity of Maverick’s gaze. His eyes burned with a fierce, lethal fury that needed no words.With rage radiating from him, he strode toward her. The moment he got close, he grabbed her shoulder and yanked her away from the man she had been kissing.Aurora only laughed softly, clearly affected by the alcohol. Her cheeks were flushed a deep red, her eyes drifting from one end to another.“Hey… you’re here?” she asked, her words slurring slightly as she suddenly leaped into Maverick’s arms, wrapping her hands around his neck.He froze.All the anger he had been holding onto stalled for a brief second, her unexpected closeness throwing him off balance. For once, Maverick didn’t immediately react. It was as if his thoughts had gone blank, unsure of what to do first.“Alpha Maverick.” The voice of Dorian called out from behind. “I’ll take Aurora back to her room,” he said calm
Earlier, Alpha Maverick had returned to the room assigned to him at the Bloodfang Pack house, only to find it empty.Aurora was nowhere in sight.‘Where the hell did she go?’ he wondered, his jaw tightening.For a moment, he considered reaching out to her through the mind link, but he stopped himself.If she realized he already knew she had left the room, she might panic and avoid returning altogether.‘Besides,’ he thought coldly, ‘she acts brave, but she’s nothing more than a frightened little kitten underneath it all.’After searching through the pack house with no success, Maverick stilled himself and focused.Then he followed her scent.It lingered faintly in the air, not strong, but enough.And for someone like him, that was more than sufficient.It took some time, but eventually, her scent led him out of the pack house and toward one of the most popular clubs nearby, just a few blocks away.The moment he stepped inside, the noise hit him.Music. Laughter. Bodies moving.His gaz
Alpha Orion didn’t seem affected in the slightest. He maintained his cold, indifferent expression before turning and walking away, while leaving Aurora standing alone as fresh tears streamed down her face.Her vision blurred, a sharp, crushing pain pounding in her head as her breaths came in shallo
As Aurora walked down the quiet hallway of the Bloodfang pack house, she headed toward the grand hall.To her surprise, it was filled with different individuals, all engaged in quiet conversations. Laughter and chatter blended softly in the air.No one spared her a glance. No one pointed. No one ca
After Alpha Maverick's words, Aurora was dragged out of the pack's grand hall into his chamber and thrown onto his bed before the door was locked behind her. She didn’t bother rushing to the door or calling for help. Doing so would be a waste of time.‘Killing myself right now would be useless. H
Aurora hesitated before speaking. “Umm, I think it’s best I take my time and not rush into choosing from the three of you,” she mumbled, forcing a smile onto her lips.One thing Aurora was certain about was that she would not be choosing Maverick as her mate, not after what he had done. ‘Besides, i
