Maya’s POVIt would be an understatement to say that I was exhausted from today’s events. After I reluctantly signed the contract, I was allowed to return home and relax for a bit. It was 7pm when I arrived, Corina turned out to be absent from her house, most likely due to overtime. Since I didn’t have anything else to do, I decided to pack up my stuff for the time being. I stopped when I found a particular piece of clothing in the wardrobe. That being a lingerie, sort of a seduction tool Corina spoke of. ‘I should’ve just tossed this away by now,’ I thought, finding no reason to keep this skimpy clothing. Alpha Zeke ‘hired’ me to be his girlfriend, and I doubted a werewolf like him would need me to wear anything like this for him to enjoy his ways with me. Although…‘In case if he’s ever in a bad mood, this could help me somewhat,’ I decided, putting the lingerie in my bag with everything else.“Hey, Maya! I’m home!” came Corina’s bubbly voice. I hastily closed my luggage and rushe
Maya’s POVIt took about another half hour of driving, but we finally made it to a building near the Moon Valley. It was more of a secluded mansion, which stood silently with its tall, white columns framing the porch. A marble fountain at the entrance with its surrounding greenery highlighted the huge archways over the doors. Once we headed inside, though, I felt as if I was instantly transported to France. From the roof painting overhead to the vintage knick-knacks that dotted the shelves. Everything was so new to me. More than that, though…“Welcome home, Alpha.” Lines of servants on either side of the carpet went in. I was just flabbergasted, not sure how to act in such an environment. Not even back in the human world had I ever stepped foot in a place like this. “We have a guest staying with us for a while. This is Maya, treat her like you would each other,” Zeke ordered.“Yes, Alpha,” they answered in unison.“Then, Miss Maya, right this way,” a maid approached me as I spun slo
I turned to the source and saw Jayden also in the training grounds, sparring with another werewolf. He abandoned the spar, approaching me with a questionable expression. “What the hell are you doing here?!” he questioned.“Alpha wants me here,” I frowned, not feeling like talking to him any more.“Don’t tell me you actually slept with the Alpha.” He said through gritted teeth, his face clouded, “Since when were you such a slut? Were you faking that whole ‘good girl’ act this whole time?”I was instantly offended by the questions. Especially as I did not want to hear any of those from him of all people. Not when he pretended to be a good man to me, not when he pretended to genuinely help me only to turn out to be using me, and certainly not when he cheated on me. “What I do with the Alpha is not your business,” I retorted, “How about you go back to your sparring match? Or better yet, go back to your own slut.”Jayden narrowed his eyes with a glare at my retort, a growl escaping his l
Maya's POV“Just… a little… more…” I groaned, reaching up a high shelf for a certain box. That being something my roommate, Jills, had asked me to get for her. “Pregnancy test?”a teasing voice sounded above my head, before someone took a box off the shelf and handed it to me.I turned and froze when I laid eyes on a man in a trench coat with a black hat concealing the top half of his face behind me. I felt a bit frightened by his large build, and did not want to get in trouble with him. With a soft ‘thank you’, I took the box and hastily made my way to the register.“Just this, please. For a friend,”I said to the cashier, awkwardly adding that last part to avoid any misunderstanding from them.Though, if I could be honest, I really wished the test was for me, but for werewolves like my boyfriend, it would go against tradition if we were to have a baby before we wed, or get marked as mates beforehand. This was especially true given his status in the pack as the Delta. Once I finished
Zeke's POVI raised my brow as I looked down at the phone in my hand, taken aback by the receiver of the call I made just seconds ago. Not once had I ever been spoken to in the manner she had taken with me. Even through the phone, any werewolf picking up my call would become too intimidated, hearing my voice alone. And yet, whoever this person was did not even stutter as she spoke to me in such a manner.I was not the only one intrigued by this, clearly, for my Beta- Ethan- most especially found this amusing, if the way he was trying to conceal his mouth was of any indication of such.“Ha ha ha. Wow, did that really take me by surprise. I didn’t think there was actually a human gutsy enough to yell at you the way that one did,” he said, trying to stop himself from laughing, only to fail miserably.“Keep laughing, and I will take that as you volunteering to be set as a picture-perfect example of what will happen to any who defy me,” I threatened, prompting Ethan to instantly cease his
Maya's POV“Thanks again for letting me stay, Corina,” I thanked, having tea at a friend’s place.“Of course, Maya. You know I’ll always have your back,” Corina said. According to my knowledge, Corina was half-werewolf and half-human. When she was eight, her family moved to this pack and settled in the outskirts of the city. We met at a volunteer event I had to attend- to gain the favor of other werewolves- and Corina was the only one who helped me get through the whole thing. She had been a true friend to me since then.“Still, what happened earlier today? You completely left me after you got that text. Did something happen between you and your boyfriend?” Corina asked.The second she asked me that, I was instantly reminded of what I found out between my ‘roommate’ and now-ex-boyfriend. I grew so angry, but I didn’t want to accidentally snap at Corina, who had nothing to do with the situation.So I took a deep breath before starting to tell Corina what happened earlier today. How Ji
Maya's POVI arrived at Sweethunt Cafe, where there were barely any customers within. I couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Yesterday, I had thought the person who called me was a scammer, a prank caller, and went off on him. He was probably annoyed with my manner. Although I wasn't sure if he would show up, I still took a seat at an empty table, ordered a cup of coffee, and waited. Hours passed since I arrived. The sunlight near the window became dazzlingly bright, and the busy hours were coming to an end in the cafe. And yet, with every customer that had been coming by, not one approached me nor seemed remotely familiar. ‘He won’t come. I should go back to Corina’s. She might be worried about me,’ I sighed, rose from my seat and left payment for the coffee and lunch on the table and took my leave.As I exited out the cafe, my head down in disappointment with my day, I didn’t notice someone walking in front of me and bumped into that person.“Oof! I’m sorry. I-” I paused as I looked
Maya's POVNight had come, and so was the Crescent Night Gala. After changing into some elegant dresses, Corina and I made our way to the party. While she had on a nice green dress with a crossover neck, I was wearing a navy blue dress with only one strap on the left side, and a slit on the right. When we arrived, the party was in full swing. I subconsciously kept one hand down by my side, trying to cover the slit that was revealing my thigh. “I really wish you would lend me that dress instead,” I said, not used to these sorts of dresses.“Ah, don’t be shy. You look great in that,” Corina said. “Besides, you’re wearing a mask. No one would know it’s you.”“Am I supposed to be reassured or offended by that?” I questioned, having mixed feelings with that statement. Corina only giggled, and gave me a pat on the back. “Chin up. You look stunning, Maya. Oh, how about the punch bowl? I’m feeling parched.”I nodded to that, and followed her to the punch bowl. As we made our way there, thou
