Killian was worried about Maya. How was she going to take the news of his mother living with them? The relationship between Maya and his mother was not cordial. Luna Miranda had hated Maya from the moment she had met her, how were they going to breathe the same air? Killian had accepted Luna Miranda back just because she was his mother and had been remorseful about her past behaviours. Luna Miranda had wanted to hug him for accepting her back but Killian had brushed off the hug. He had agreed to let her stay, but was not about to start being friendly with her. Besides, she had never shown him any affection from his childhood. She was giving him the residue of love and affection Sebastian had left.He found Maya brushing her hair. He took the brush from her. "Let me help you." Killian said as he ran his fingers through Maya's hair. Maya handed him the brush."I wanted to talk to you about something." Killian said as he gently ran the brush through Maya's hair."I am all ears. What i

Maya didn't know what to feel. On one hand, she really hoped Killian could at least soften his heart and retract his decision of banishing the maids from the pack. After losing what she called home, she could understand how it feels and she did not wish that for anyone, even her enemy.On the other hand, she knew that Killian was right. The people needed to be taught how to respect her. As an Alpha male, taking pity on those two could be seen as softness and that could encourage the others to go against his words. As long as they could be forgiven after pleading. That was not something she wanted for Killian. Being indecisive could lead to his people questioning his authority and ability to lead the people.She watched as Killian walked away without even turning to look at her.Walking back to the maids, she could only pity them." Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help you. Take this as a lesson. Wherever you are, you have to respect authority. I hope you have a smooth life

Killian walked straight to his office, lost in thoughts. He didn't know what to do to help with Maya's situation.He was helpless. With the council pulling his legs to present Maya before them for trial, he was desperate to save her.Others might believe that she did it, but he would never believe that.The Maya he knew accommodated everyone and nothing would push her to commit murder, not to mention that the person was his own mother.She would never do anything to hurt him, that he was certain about. " Meet me in my office," he mindlinked his gamma before making his way to the office.If he wanted to unravel the truth, he needed some help and cracking such cases, only his gamma was capable enough.Arriving at his office, he walked to his liquor store before retrieving a bottle of whiskey.In a moment like this, he needed something to stimulate his nerves and brain and what better way than gulp some hard whiskey. His gamma did not take long for him to arrive at Killian's office.Hi

Killian povUncle Damian's revelation shook me to the core. A witch? Of all people? Why would a witch want to harm my mother then pin the blame on Maya? I don't remember ever offending a witch in my struggle to stabilize the midnight pack so that came as a surprise. After he left my office, I summoned Asher to my office. I don't know why but after Maya asked about Marcus and Amber, I have been having this strange feeling of mistrust towards my beta. I wanted to tell him about the new information but I have been having this weird suspicion that he may have known all along.His face is too impassive. He didn't seem shocked when I told him that it was a witch who was responsible for the death of my mother. On the contrary, he seemed, scared? I can't tell for sure but I'm not involving him in this. To distract him, j decided to send him away to look for Sebastian Although he left the pack, he is still my brother. I knew that trying to get him back here would be a failed attempt so I c

After making that deal with Stephano, my heart finally calmed down. I could smell an impending bloodshed ànd I wanted to keep Maya as far as possible from everything. I can't take it if something really happened to her. I know that if that did happen, the last bit of my sanity would have been eroded away.After going back to the room, Maya was still awake, seemingly not sleepy at all. Walking to the bed, I laid down next to her, pulling her into my arms."Honey? You don't look okay, what happened?"I smiled and looked at the girl in my arms. Her eyes were looking up and down my face, trying to discern what was wrong. She seemed to Know me even when I tried to conceal my emotions, she would still figure out if I'm in a bad mood or not." My heart feels unsettled, can you help me feel better, wife?" I murmured, kissing her lips passionately.Her lips were soft ànd sweet. She had this power to awaken the beast inside me.Maya didn't reply but instead, her hands roamed all over my body. I
