MALIA'S POVI thought it might at least take a while for him to start getting me involved in his affairs again. I mean give me time to get used to him being around here and stuff but that very night he came, he sent a servant to inform me about a dinner in his place. I frankly do not want to deal with that woman again. Now that she was beginning to make assumptions, I wondered what would unfold if she saw us having dinner together. I made up my mind to just come clean and tell him the truth, we should just keep our relationship casual.Fortunately today, he didn't have a dress brought for me to wear. I got ready in my usual loose-fitting clothes which I wore to bed at most times and went straight to his room, I knocked multiple times and waited until I was instructed to enter before going in. I expected to see the food lined out and waiting for me to savor, but on the contrary, I met an empty dining table. Although I didn't want to have dinner with him, deep down, I was eager to eat

MALIA'S POVI stared open-mouthed at the door he had just banged. I was more than shocked, I was completely blown away. The fact that he all of a sudden picked offense just because I was in Ryder's room was the last thing I expected from him. I was starting to know that he probably had some grudge to settle with his brother and for that reason, he didn't want me associating with him but I never knew it had escalated to the point where he would get supper mad just because I had dinner with his brother.Or was there something deeper going on between them that he wasn't telling me about? I combed my finger through my hair as I finally shifted my gaze away from the door. As far as I was concerned, I did nothing wrong just having dinner with the Alpha so I shrugged nonchalantly and went to bed. Whatever it was he was feeling, he would get over it when the right time came. I wasn't in for the type of stress.I climbed on to my bed and lay there silently watching the night sky until sleep

MALIA'S POVMy eyes zeroed in on the meals before me. They looked tantalizing, I felt my mouth watering. I had always had a fondness for food, it was my only weakness, apart from being Wolfless.Ronan raised his eyebrows at me taking note of how I stared intensely at the food. "Why do I wish to take the place of this food? The way you gaze at it... it is delightful.""You don't have to worry about that, you have a special spot in my heart. Not as big as that of food but still you are there" I teased."Seriously? Remind me to always exclude meals when we are together." He replied sarcastically while rolling his eyes at me. "Whatever" I waved him away and dived into the meal, ready to enjoy the rest of my night. Comfortable silence engulfed us as we continued to eat. The sound of muffled voices of people around and the clattering of cutleries were the only sounds.A few minutes after we finished the main course, the desert arrived. I finally saw the main reason why he labeled this pla

MALIA'S POVWe chatted for hours on end, with him doing most of the talking while I just listened and discovered just how much of a mystery he was. When he said he didn't sleep, he meant every bit of it. He mostly just uses the night's rest and gets ready for a new day. He told me how it had initially been a night full of nightmares and it progressively became sleeplessness until it turned into a full blown insomnia. Who would have thought that he had been operating in no sleep at all?When it was finally time to retire back to bed, we did, together, on my bed. I have no idea why, no explanation for it. We just did. No word was exchanged between us. We just knew that was just what we both wanted and we did.The next morning, I was awakened by the beaming rays of sunlight coming through my window and beaming directly on my face. I had to blink rapidly to get my eyes used to the unwanted lightening. I tried to move my arm but was restricted by a another arm on my shoulder. I didn't ne

ZADE’S POV“What do you think should be done Alpha, they have attacked the east wing again and with the way their operations are escalating so fast, it is only a matter of time before they reach the park central. I think we better act fast.” My gaze darted from my beta to the opened window in my throne room. I let his words sink into my head as I watched the sun sink farther away from the sky. “It was only a matter of time before they reached the park central” He had said. If they reached the park central and were able to successfully invade it, then we are likely done for. “What do we do” He asked. They were all relying on me with every fiber of their beings. Funny enough they had no idea that the one person they considered a source of motivation, strength and hope was losing himself in the process. At this point, I had no idea what should be done. These people have been invading my pack for the past few months. There was no explanation for it, nothing. And the hardest part to de
