All Chapters of Bound To The Night Reaper: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Maya's POV"Lady Maya. Lady Maya," I stirred inside the beddings as I could hear my name being called out.As I opened my eyes, I expected to see Declan next to me.But the bed was empty.There was no warmth, as I had been accustomed to when he would leave earlier than me.Even the room smelled different."You're finally awake," someone said from the foot of the bed.Instantly, I looked down to see who it was.In her uniform, with her hands tucked to the sides and standing still as if she waited to dismiss her, Mirabelle eyed me.'It wasn't a dream,' I said to myself, sitting up on the bed.I thought I would be waking up next to Declan, only to be hit with the reminder that that life was gone.The marriage was over, and I needed to come to terms with that.I was stuck with Cassian, the Night Reaper.A man that seemed obsessed with me in an unnatural and confusing way.He seemed so sure that I should be able to remember him with time.It's not like I was being optimistic about it, bec

Maya's POVWe were on our way back, and I could still feel the blood pumping inside my body.The ranch that Cassian made me visit was bigger than I thought it would be.The ranch manager upon hearing that I was sent by the Night Reaper, immediately stopped treating us like locals.We got the best receptionist, and I was even allowed to ride their most prized horses.I'll have to admit, being Declan's Luna had me in so many council meetings and settling disputes to an extent where I didn't remember that I should let loose once in a while.Not even three days had passed since I arrived in Cassian's pack, and I was already enjoying activities I had completely forgotten were optional.I won't say that it was a smooth ride. Because of the incident with losing the child I carried, but I would say that it was a start.That combined with the breakfast that I was treated to by the Alpha himself, I'd say that my gloomy heart has started to lighten up.And don't get this mixed up. Enjoying the t

Maya's POVTwo days passed since the incident with Cassian.And in those two days, I didn't go anywhere near him.Well, especially since I barely left my room.Mirabelle was sent countless times to tell me that Cassian had something planned for me, and at first, I was scared that if I declined, he was going to do something drastic.He already did that.'He was just playing in my face, and he showed his true colours,' I reasoned.That's when I made up my mind to decline everything that he was planning for me.At first, Mirabelle looked at me like I was crazy.She was rightfully allowed to have the reaction that she had, since she didn't think I was going to decline Cassian's plans.When I did decline them, I waited for the door to my room to be broken down within minutes by him.But it never happened.The second day came, and I declined every invitation and offer that was sent my way by Cassian.And once again, nothing happened.I felt much safer in the comfort of the room, alone.It d

Maya's POV Ignoring Cassian in the pack house was something easy to accomplish.All I had to do was stay in my room all day, and have everything sent to me.However, even I knew that it would get to a point where that wouldn't be a safe haven anymore.It was just a matter of time before he was going to start looking for me physically.I had rejected every gift and outing invitation that Mirabelle told me he had planned for days.He was bound to invade my space, and I would have made the biggest mistake for allowing him to do that.I needed to make sure that my room was the first and last place that I could run to, and his first instinct wouldn't be to come after me.So, I eventually had to start leaving the place and walk around the pack house.This made ignoring Cassian an even bigger task.I didn't know if I would bump into him at the next corner that I would take, or whether I'd find him waiting outside my door.It was a bargain of whether I had luck on my side, or the universe w

Maya's POVCassian was smiling at me.I had probably kept him waiting while on the phone with Declan, and he was smiling at me!I had avoided him for close to a week, and he was smiling at me!I honestly don't think you understand what I was thinking the moment I saw his face light up when he saw me.He had his serious face on, and when I walked into the dining room, he turned and smiled.To make it worse, it was genuine!I can tell between a forced and a genuine smile.For the five years that I was with Declan, I always thought that he smiled at me genuinely.But after the divorce, while I was still trying to get over the memories and flashbacks that came to me randomly, I started to see the pattern.He always smiled with his teeth alone.And those are the times that I thought he was smiling at me, especially when we shared memorable moments.There were a few instances where he would smile, with not just his teeth, but his eyes as well.There weren't that many, except for one time wh
