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
MAISIEI took one last look at my sleeping son lying in bed before I quietly closed the door. In the hallway, I met Isis and Zayn in the living room. I informed them, "Alexei is sleeping now. I have treated all his injuries and given him some medicine so he can sleep well.""Don't scold him for the school fight, Maisie," Zayn had maintained an icy expression since he brought our son back, but I didn't pay attention to him until now. "I will go to school tomorrow to talk to the principal."There was something in his voice that bothered me, so I frowned, "You don't get to decide that-""I am his father, Maisie," This time, his voice was heavy with unmistakable authority. I raised my head to see his face etched with ice. “You acknowledged my right when you asked me to find him, remember?”I badly wanted to refute his claims but he was right. When Alexei went missing, I couldn't think of anything else but my son so I went to the one person I knew would help me no matter what. “Fine,” I c
MAISIEIn the café, Odessa and the other women continuously tested my abilities in various ways, but they were unable to obtain the results they desired. I was uncertain about their expectations, but I made every effort to conceal my true identity as a wolf. It was evident that Zayn had deliberately orchestrated this to place me in a challenging predicament.But I was going to overcome this challenge like I always did. Odessa and Evelyn shared a look after some time before one of them finally spoke up. “It seems that you are a very strong wolf. I guess what Zayn was right about you after all.”“Our alpha is never wrong, Odessa,” A woman by her side inserted. I recognized her as my neighbor who lived near Isis's house. “That's why you two are perfect for each other.”A faint blush spread across Odessa's cheeks which added to her alluring beauty as the women around her teased her endlessly about her fiance. On the other hand, I was trying my best not to roll my eyes at these idle fan g
MAISIE“Who is this?” As I heard that familiar voice, I felt a sudden tension in my body. I slowly turned around to see the person I had been trying to avoid for a while walking towards me and my friend, Felix. He had a commanding presence, tall and imposing, dressed in a crisp white shirt and jeans.I instinctively stepped back which Felix caught with keen eyes as Zayn walked towards us, leaving behind his entourage of bodyguards behind. My scowl vanished when I saw him standing so close to me so I immediately introduced the both of them to each other, “Zayn, this is Felix. Felix, this is Zayn.”“I already know who he is,” Felix's easygoing expression had now vanished as he tucked his hands into his trousers. He asked me, “Everyone can recognize him from a freaking mile away. Why are you here with him, Maisie?”“Because she is my mate and the mother of my son,” Zayn spoke in an icy tone that made me wince but his eyes did not leave his opponent even once. He asked me, “Is this the F
ZAYNAfter parting ways with Maisie and her friend, I felt the urge to visit the pack nursery to check on their progress because I wanted to know why the fuck she was roaming freely like that when she should be working. To my surprise, the project was nearly complete and looked impressive.However, I was still not satisfied with it. “I don't like the lightening used here,” I glowered at Xavier who was in charge of the project. “The babies' eyes are very sensitive at this stage. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to install these without considering that?”My Beta exchanged a worried look with the nervous architect who was shaking in his shoes and then, he replied, “I will call Evelyn and have it fixed right away.”I continued to identify details needing adjustments until I was content. Once finished, I retreated to my office to focus on my responsibilities and regain composure.At least for a while, it seemed to be effective, until I heard a knock on the door. The person's scen
MAISIEAfter my lunch date with Felix, I accompanied him back to the pack border before I returned to the company. I was a bit absentminded when I entered the building so I didn't notice the incoming person heading towards my way. The collision sent me sprawling on the floor with a resounding thud, leaving me groaning in pain as I massaged my aching backside. “Watch where you are going!” My boss hissed angrily but she stopped mid-sentence when she saw my face. “Oh, it's you. Where have you been and why haven't you been picking up my calls?”I reached for my phone with a feeling of impending dread, only to be faced with the unresponsive black screen. A sense of frustration washed over me as I muttered under my breath, "My phone's battery is dead."Evelyn's expression twisted into a sneer as she looked down at me, her disdain evident in every line of her face. Removing her black glasses, she revealed unsmiling eyes and said, "Listen, Clarissa. I don't know how things were in the Moon S
ZAYNShe hit me. I can't believe that she hit me, especially in the presence of that feeble-looking wolf. My jaw clenched as I stepped into the house and saw Isis standing in the living room, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. She looked at me with weariness in her eyes, and I could feel her fear reverberating through the room, like a sudden chill in the air that extinguished the flames of my anger. The sight instantly aroused my protective instincts of an alpha wolf, reminding me to put a lid on my temper. “Where is Alexei?” My gruff voice came out deeper than I had intended but at least, I made an effort to hide my eyes so as not to scare her. Isis pointed to the hallway in front of me so I left her in the living room, trying to locate my son. As I opened the door slowly, I found my son peacefully sleeping on the bed, nestled under a blue comforter with his race car toy in his arms. My anger was reduced by a large fraction on sight as I walked inside, dropping the bags qui
