CHAPTER ONE

MAVERICK“I feel miserable.” I flex my arms as I walk past my pack members, watching them part ways for me. No one wants to risk setting me off; they all know it won’t end well for them.Then I hear someone call my name. I turn, ready to see who’s daring enough to wake a sleeping wolf. And of course, it’s her—my mother.I walk up to her and stop right in front of her without saying a word. She doesn’t speak either, not for a whole five minutes. I have no idea why she called me.“Mama, why did you call me?” I finally ask, doing my best not to sound rude. I might be the Alpha, but my mama wouldn’t hesitate to quote “discipline me.”“Why are you trying to scare everyone, Mr. Big Bad Wolf?” she asks, smiling that smile I know isn’t a smile at all, but a warning.“Mama, how am I scaring everyone?” I respond after a few seconds.“Mr Big Bad Wolf, why are you in such a terrible mood?” she asks as she touch my arms and pulls me into her arms.“Mama! Stop calling me that and don’t hug me, I’m

CHAPTER TWO

JASMINE I lay awake in my bed feeling restless and waiting for death. With my wolf not responding to me and my mate gone, I know in just a little while I will give up the ghost, cause as a werewolf, connecting with your wolf is important, and after finding your mate and you lose him, you can never be whole again. As I lay in bed, I hear footsteps coming up the stairs, soft and familiar, and I just know it’s either my mother or my best friend, Daisy. They are the only two people who keep trying to make me come out and keep living, but without a will to live, all their effort has been in vain. “Jasmine, I’ve had enough of this.” My mum's voice cut the silence as she marched into my room, went straight to my window, and opened the blinds. Sunlight flooded the room, and the instant headache and eyeache I felt was cause I’ve been sitting in a dark room for months.“You are my child and my only child for that matter, I won’t let you fade away or die, not on my watch!” She says, pointing

CHAPTER THREE

MAVERICK I’m sitting in my study, looking through the pack documents and the issues that need my attention. Sheets of paper are scattered across my desk; they contain complaints from pack members, things they want changed, and new things they want included in the pack. Yes, I seek out pack members for their opinion as they are the ones that benefit from it the most, so they must be included in decision-making, and that can only be possible if I seek out their opinion. Boxes are placed around the pack grounds so that people who have opinions or complaints can write them down and put them in the boxes, and at the end of every day, I will go through them. As I was deeply into reading them, I heard a knock. “Come in,” I say, and from the smell my nose picks up, I know who's at the door. “Yo, how are you doing?” my beta Jaden says as he walks into my study, taking a seat in one of the chairs across me. “I heard you beat up another council head. How many more people are you going to be

CHAPTER FOUR

MAVERICKI did not have to chase them out of my house cause they left after two hours. After they left, I stood in a silent house full of memories. I met my mate Alice at the last Mate meeting, gathering my pack held. FLASHBACK…I stood at the entrance of the pack, welcoming people from other packs, when my nose picked up a very sweet cinnamon mixed with a strawberry smell. My wolf was jumping inside of me and howling happily, and I just knew that my mate was around, but I could not see her. I was not worried because I knew we would still meet inside during the gathering. After I was done welcoming people into the pack, the gathering began, and all without mates lined up, male on one side, female on the side. Instantly, people started finding their mate. I picked up that same sweet smell towards my right and walked towards the right trying to pinpoint where that smell was coming from, and I laid my eyes on her. It felt like I was in heaven. She ran into my arms, and it felt electr

CHAPTER FIVE

JASMINEIt's Mate meeting day, and Daisy, Eva, and I are in my room getting dressed. Daisy bought a maroon-colored Mermaid dress, Eva bought a blue-colored dress, and I bought a short purple halter-neck bodycon dress with a slit at the front. I look at myself in the mirror; my complexion looks better, my round face looks pretty, my pouty lips are shiny, and my full curly hair hangs down my back. “I look beautiful,” I mutter to myself, “I can’t believe this is me.” “Well, that’s you, and you indeed look fabulous, cute, and sexy,” says Eva as she hugs me from behind. “I’m sure a lot of eyes will be on you,” Daisy says with a wink.I’m sure too, now that my mate passed, a lot of men who have not gotten their mate will try to ask for my hand. I don’t think I’m ready for that. I just want to live for myself. For years, I’ve waited and kept myself for my mate so I can experience the never-ending love that comes with the Mate bond like my parents and other mated members in the pack. Now

CHAPTER SIX

MAVERICK“Mate,” I hear my wolf call out.I freeze.Mate? What mate?“Jax, go back to sleep,” I mutter.Our mate is dead. Even after all these years, my wolf and I are still grieving. But today is not about us.Then my nose catches that scent again, and Jax starts howling happily inside my head. I can feel how badly he wants out. My senses sharpen instantly—my vision becomes clearer, my hearing more acute, my nose picking up scents faster than normal. I know I could shift at any moment.“Jax, stop!” I say, struggling to restrain both myself and my wolf, which is never an easy task.I scan my surroundings quickly, trying to locate the source of the scent. It’s close—too close—and whatever it is has my wolf on edge.“Mate, mate, mate, mate,” Jax sings in my head, and a pounding headache follows.I look around furiously, and then I see her.Standing at the entrance of the Mate Meeting Arena is a beautiful woman dressed in purple. Her long curly hair cascades down her back, and she seems

CHAPTER SEVEN

JASMINEAt first there is nothing.No sound. No light. Just a deep, hollow, darkness that wraps around me, heavy and unnaturally still. It feels wrong–too quiet, like even my wolf has gone silent. That’s what frightens me the most. A faint ache pulse through my skull, slow and rhythmic, like a distant drum. My head feels too heavy to lift, my limbs weighted down as if i’ve been drugged. I try to reach for my wolf, for that familiar presence that is always there–Nothing answers.Panic stirs, sharp, and instinctive.I inhale suddenly, the scent of earth and pine flooding my senses before i’m fully awake. The smell is too strong, too vivid. My wolf stirs weakly in response, a low whimper curling in the back of my mind. “I’m alive” she murmurs faintly. Relief washes through me, trembling and fragile. My body feels wrong–drained, overextended, like i shifted without meaning to and paid the price. A dull burn lingers beneath my skin, especially along my spine and shoulders, the famil

CHAPTER EIGHT

MAVERICK The room feels too small for the thoughts crowding my head. I stand near the window of the hospital room, arms crossed tightly over my chest, forcing myself not to pace. The steady beep of the machines is the only thing grounding me, reminding me that she’s alive. Breathing. Safe. Barely. My wolf is restless, pacing inside me like a caged beast. She’s our mate, Jax keeps repeating, like saying it enough times will make it make sense. I drag a hand down my face and close my eyes—and the memory hits me hard. Flashback The door had exploded off its hinges. Roseline. She stood there half-shifted, wolf ears sharp, fangs bared, claws out, rage rolling off her in suffocating waves. I barely had time to react before she launched herself at me. “WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DAUGHTER?!” Her voice shook the walls. Before she could reach me, Beta Corey grabbed her mid-air, holding her suspended until she stopped thrashing. Her eyes—so much like Jasmine’s—burned into me with pure ha

CHAPTER NINE

JASMINE I don’t know when I fall asleep again. All I know is that when I do, my body feels too heavy—like I’m being held down by something I can’t see. My chest tightens, and I breathe in sharply, my lungs burning as if I’ve been running for miles. The first thing I notice is the feeling. A pull. Not painful. Not gentle either. Just… there. It wraps around my chest and settles deep in my bones, like my body recognizes something my mind refuses to accept. My heart starts racing, and panic crawls up my throat. No, I think desperately. Not again. Then I hear it. Mate. The voice is soft but firm, echoing inside my head. I freeze, my fingers curling into the bedsheets. “That’s not possible,” I whisper hoarsely. But the voice doesn’t disappear. I have always been here. The room fades. Suddenly, I’m no longer in the hospital. I’m standing under a silver sky, the ground glowing faintly beneath my feet. The air feels alive—thick with power, ancient and wild. I turn slowly, my

CHAPTER TEN

MAVERICKI stand quietly in my mate’s living room, my hands clasped tightly behind my back while I wait for her downstairs.Unfortunately, my wolf hearing makes privacy almost impossible.I can hear every conversation happening upstairs.Every tear. Every shaky laugh. Every goodbye.Jax is unusually silent inside me, listening carefully as Jasmine speaks with her family and friends. I can feel his emotions mixing with mine—protectiveness, sadness, and something softer whenever he hears her voice.“She’s hurting,” Jax murmurs quietly.“I know,” I respond internally, my jaw tightening.The entire situation still feels unreal to me.A second mate.Something I have never heard of in all my years alive. Yet despite the confusion surrounding us, one thing remains painfully clear—Jasmine is mine, and every instinct inside me demands that I protect her.Footsteps descending the stairs pull me from my thoughts.I look up immediately.My breath catches slightly when Jasmine comes into view.She
