“But you see, things turned out well. Samuel and I went through the moon’s trial and here we are. Had we not gone through the necessary effort, Oliver and Daisy wouldn’t be here. So to me, it’s a blessing.” I nodded in agreement, unsure of what to say. I knew she wanted to ask why I’d bothered bringing up the severance of a mating bond, but to my relief, she didn’t. Part of me was happy about that. I didn’t want to implicate Cole in any way, not when he was here on his mysterious business.

He gave me a few chases, without being successful, of course. And wasn’t that the girl they found instead of me when they were trying to catch me so that I could be the slave of the Paranormal Authority for eternity. I really wanted to surprise him but now wasn’t the time or the place.” Maria’s eyes glared with meanness, repugnance obvious on her face as she spoke about the institution. Maxine didn’t react, she just stayed silent.

“Goddess, how the hell am I going to survive with all these gorgeous men around me. this is all new to me.” The warlock stopped right in front of her looking at her dead in the eyes as if searching for her soul. “Derrick the great warlock doesn’t make mistakes like that my darling. You are not of beta blood but of alpha blood.” Maria’s eyes widened in shock. Derrick extended his hand to her, and she took it. “Come, let’s sit down and I will tell you all that the spirits showed me.” still ignoring Lorenzo. He led Maria to the sofa, and they took a seat.

"So, you mean to say that even in a contract marriage, there's a chance for something real and meaningful?" Maria nodded again, her eyes filled with warmth. "Yes, Olivia. The path may be uncertain, but love has a way of blossoming in unexpected places. It's up to those involved to nurture it and let it grow." As Maria finished her story, Olivia felt a renewed sense of hope and determination.

With the woman who ruined my entire plan. “You told me kidnapping her would break him,” I say, stepping closer to Maria. “You said the grief would weaken him…make him walk into the trap blinded.” “He did,” Maria replies sharply. “That part worked.” A bitter laughter tears out of me before I can stop it. “Then why the hell is he still alive?” The question explodes between us.

Perhaps it was mentioning her son Chris that made Maria's tone genuinely sincere at this moment.
