ZAYNWe swiftly departed from the Moon Stone pack as the first light of dawn illuminated the horizon. Our pack members took charge of transporting our belongings while we made haste in our wolf forms. I would have departed earlier, but Alexei was keen on bidding farewell to the pack healer and his dearest friends.Although the distance between the Moon Stone pack and the Frost Fang pack was not very far, it was still a long journey ahead. Since our son was still very young, I offered to help carry him throughout the journey but he refused and went to meet his mother instead.After five hours of running, Maisie was visibly exhausted by the time we reached the Frost Fang border. I spotted a group of men waiting for us so I quickly changed before I approached them. My twin, Kodiak dressed in black and silver clothes greeted me with a tight hug and a smile. "Why are you late?" Kodiak inquired, slightly conveying his displeasure with a subtle dig of his claws at my back – not enough to br
MAISIEI couldn't believe that Zayn was capable of doing such a thing to me and his son!Once he joined the Frost Fang pack, he left me and our son in the hands of Xavier Winchester, a dangerous man who I've always considered my enemy. It felt like Zayn did it intentionally to seek revenge for me saving Lincoln, but I never thought he would be so heartless as to abandon our son in this way.Fortunately, Xavier didn't seem to recognize me after my makeover, so he took me to a woman's house without any qualms before he excused himself to converse with his alpha. The couple who lived here came outside to greet me with a polite smile but I could tell that they were skeptical about welcoming strangers into their home. The man who stepped forward gave me a scrutinizing look as he sniffed our scent a few feet away from us. His huge stature and black tattoos that peeked under his sleeveless shirt made him seem intimidating at first sight. He had brown hair and a neatly combed beard that reac
MAISIE The next morning, Isis woke me up early to join the pack run which I obliged, even though I did not like missing out on my beauty sleep. I stripped myself out of my clothes and joined Isis and her husband outside the house a few minutes later. Although it was normal for packmates to see each other naked once in a while, the rule of wearing clothes was generally enforced for the sake of the young ones. Surprisingly, I felt conscious of my body so I kept shifting my weight from one foot to another, letting my eyes wander across my surroundings. The soft blue sky was starting to brighten, with the stars and the moon gently fading away from the horizon. In the eastern direction, a tint of orange began to glow, signaling the sun's arrival while the birds' melodious chirping echoed across the silent environment. My wandering eyes somehow landed on the person in front of me, causing me to stiffen. My breath quickened slightly when I caught Roger's eyes firmly fixated on my perky br
MAISIEIt turned out that Zayn had planned this from the very start. After I sent Alexei to his school, I got a call from Xavier telling me that I had just gotten a job at an interior design company that had been recently contracted to design the pack nursery. My life was on a rollercoaster once again, and I could barely figure out my next step when I arrived at the office and met my boss waiting for me. “I'm Evelyn,” The woman with a sleek high ponytail, dressed in a business suit and red heels addressed me. “We are on a tight schedule right now so there is no one around who can guide you. The files on your desk will tell you everything you need to know about our current project and you have a day to memorize them before tomorrow's meeting.”I nodded slightly, but then added, “I understand, Ma'am. I'm honored to be working here-”“Well, it's not like I had a choice,” The woman rolled her eyes as she walked straight to her office. It took me some time to understand her words before
MAISIEThe entire restaurant was filled with silence as Zayn stood in front of our table glaring at each of us. My boss, Evelyn managed to sober up a little when she saw her alpha present so she jumped up from the table. “Zayn!” Her head was covered with a light sheen of perspiration as if she had already sensed trouble, “What are you doing here? We were having a small work party-”“I don't give a fuck what you guys were doing,” Zayn cut her off with a sharp tone. My breath quickened when his eyes landed on me. “I came to get Clarissa. The rest of them can go home.”I expected her to tell him off since she was the owner of her company but Mei Lin had already confided in me that Zayn was a major shareholder in all the businesses here in the Frost Fang pack. I guessed that had something to do with his intention to keep an eye on the activities happening in his pack. Evelyn's eyes darted between me and Zayn before she inquired, “Why are you here for her? Did she do something wrong?”“T
ZAYNAfter what happened last night, I couldn't get the thought of Maisie's face out of my head all day. The way she reacted to my words shocked both me and my wolf because I had never seen her that way. I had a feeling that it had something to do with the past between us but what I didn't understand is why she was behaving that way when I should have been the one being angry. It wasn't like I hadn't believed Maisie when she had accused Xavier of attempting to rape her but there was not a single evidence to justify her claim. I had done everything I could to find a single clue that would speak in her favour but there was none. All the security cameras and the witnesses had said that she was the one who entered the hotel looking for my Beta so I had to endure the pain of betrayal from my own mate. Maisie had no fucking idea just how much I had suffered when she left me. If it wasn't for the pack elders and Kodiak who anchored me through pack bonds, I would have lost control of my sa
ZAYN“Odessa,” I tried to calm my nerves when I stepped out of the car to meet my fiancee. Although I blocked her view from the little boy who was still eating, I knew she had seen him already. Crossing my arms, I leaned against the door and asked her, “What are you doing now here? I thought you were supposed to be out of the pack.”“I just returned a few hours ago.” She replied. Odessa bit her lips before bringing out a gift. was holding behind her back. “I just wanted to give you this.”My first instinct was to reject it but I couldn't bear to dim the expectant light in her so I collected it from her hands. My eyes landed on the brand logo imprinted on the box so I thanked her, “This is too expensive, Odessa. You don't need to buy me anything when you travel from now on.”“You don't like it?” The smile on her lips fell when she heard my words. Odessa was the pack envoy who usually helped me form alliances and negotiate deals when I couldn't attend. She and her family had contributed
ZAYNIt has been two weeks since I had seen Maisie after that incident. At first, I went on with my life after receiving the daily reports of her and Alexei's whereabouts from my men but as time passed, my wolf started to become more restless with the bond tugging us towards the woman who was at the other end of the pack lands. I kept wondering how she was doing in the Frost Fang pack, even though I was fully aware that she had successfully settled down in her workplace and was even hanging out with Odessa and the other women. Meanwhile, Alexei and I kept meeting secretly after school, talking about stuff and doing fun things like going for a pack run in the forest together. When I noticed that the bruises on his body kept increasing, I decided to teach him how to defend himself. Nothing much, just enough to make his classmates get the message to stay away from him. He was a smart kid so he was able to pick up the moves quickly and I could see that he would become a formidable alp
