The sun rays filtered through the little space along the tightly closed curtains, and rested on Maya's face. Maya fluttered her eyes as she stifled a yawn, forcing her eyes opened. She laid on the bed motionless for a little while. Her mind drifting back to the dream she had last night."Stone her to death!" The crowd was yelling."She deserves to die!" The crowd ranted more angrier than before. There she sat on the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks as she felt suddenly powerless."Shamelessly frolicking with the emperor when she's not part of us!" One lady from the crowd said, her voice at the top of her lungs."What are we waiting for? Let's stone her to death!" They yelled, and picked up stones, angling them at her. They lifted their stones high, and casted them towards her. She closed her eyes bracing up for the pain that would associate with the impact of the stones, but none was forthcoming.She opened her eyes, when she heard t
A few minutes later, Maya got out of the bathroom, and noticed that Grey was no longer on the bed, and neither was he in the room. "Where has he gone now?" She muttered as she held tightly to the towel wrapped around her body.Shrugging off the thoughts of Grey, she went over to the closet to quickly get dressed. A knock came on the door, and she guessed it to be Gwen or some other omega, because, Grey never knocks when coming into the room. "It's open," she said as she reached for a cashmere turtleneck dress. Cora walked into the room, holding a mop and a bucket, along with Gwen, who was holding a dustpan and a long handle brush."Good morning, Luna," Gwen greeted with a smile while Cora scoffed as she went over to the windows to undrape the curtains."Morning, Gwen," Maya replied to Gwen as she ignored Cora. "How was your night?" She asked, returning her smile. From her rampant thinking, Gwen only got her dressed whenever she was to meet the elders.
Maya recovered from the surprise, quicker than Vivian had expected. She picked up the glass of juice in front of her. "Good for you," she said, as she sipped from the juice, ignoring Vivian.Vivian glared at her, pissed off by the fact that the shock she was expecting to register deeply in Maya did nothing to faze her. "Listen here," Vivian began, unable to hide her detest any longer. Maya placed the glass of juice back on the table, as she stared at her. "You're too little for me to be competing with over Grey," she said to her, and Maya kept staring at her aloofly. "You're nothing but a piece of crap trying to reach for the top. Trying so hard to fit where you don't belong," Vivian said with a nasty smile on her face, hoping to get into Maya.Maya smiled. "Tell me something I haven't heard," she replied as she forked more sauced meat into her mouth.Vivian dropped her fork, and folded her hands, propping her elbows on the table, anger seething inside of
Grey had gotten back to the pack house and had discovered that she was not in the house. He had made inquiries, and Gwen had told him where she was. He had immediately came to the river to find her seated with her legs pulled up, and she hugging her knees. He wondered what was going on with her, as she turned to look at him with an hurtful look on her face. "Are you okay?" He asked her.Maya chuckled dryly as she sniffed. "Is there a need not to be?" She asked him, sarcasm evident in her voice.Grey knitted his brows in exasperation. "I asked a question," he said, his eyes intensely on hers. "Gwen tells me you've been here since morning. I only want to know what's going on," he said to her."It's nothing," she said, slowly getting up to her feet.Grey grew more irritated. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He demanded in a pent-up anger.Maya grew furious, the anger, hurt, and pain from this morning rolling back in. "What is wrong with m
"My Lord, one of the goddesses of heaven is at the spring attacking our men," a warrior rushed in, panting heavily as he spoke."Impossible," a man said, getting up immediately from the mahogany chair with gold and blue embroidery he was sitting."My Lord, she's slaughtering our people without mercy," the warrior said, one of his knees bent, and the other on the floor, with his head bowed."Take me there immediately," Verne said, and the warrior stood up, and together, they hastened to the waterfall.Racing their horses to the waterfall, he immediately alighted from his horse, and noticed immediately that his warrior did not lie to him. Some of his warrior clan were laying dead on the ground while some laid wounded, groaning in agony.He drew out his sword when he sighted the woman causing such havoc in his land. Using his telekinesis, he flung her away from one of his clan, and fell, her back hitting the sturdy side of the tree
"Father, how could you let him go ahead with this?" Vivian asked her father, Eli, with a disappointed look on her face.Eli sighed as he tapped his fingers on the couch. "He's the alpha, Vivi. He has the final say," he said, looking deep in thought."But, you all forced him to get married since he was almost twenty four with no sign of a mate. You can talk him out of this too," Vivian said persistently.Eli stared at her. "I can't do anything," he said in annoyance."Yes, you can!" Vivian said, raising her voice in frustration. "You forced him, now force him out," she said, feeling devastated."You know I conceded with the elders to make Grey listen to us and pick a wife for sake. I had expected that he would pick you since you both seemed to be quite close, but unfortunately, it did not fall in my favour or yours. I wasn't expecting him to find a bride at the Oasis, and definitely not this omega girl," he said, sounding disgusted when he
Grey was astonished at the sight of Maya, as he took in her white dress. It hit right on her thighs, having a ruched bodice, puffy sleeves, and a full circle skirt. She had a dainty necklace on, and a pair of strappy espadrilles. He got up from the bench, mesmerized by the gorgeous sight before him, as he walked towards her, too dumbfounded to speak.Maya nervously stood where she was, holding the hem of her dress, as she appraised his appearance. He was putting on a short sleeves white shirt, unbuttoned to his chest, and a dark brown shorts paired with khaki brown Italian leather moccasins."You look lovely," Grey finally spoke, as he got a hold of himself.She shrugged, finding it hard to believe. "Thanks?" She said, doubting his compliment.He gave a small smile. "How would you like the picnic? Bench or grass?" He asked, inquiring of her preferred selection.Maya shrugged again, as she looked at the grass. "The grass is green, so I th
The early morning birds tweeted in the woods, while some flew up to bask in the early sunrise. Maya walked down the stairs to see Zing, and Grey seated in the dining room.She approached them. "Good morning," she said, trying to sound delightful."Morning," Grey responded, without sparing her a glance."Morning, Luna," Zing greeted with a smile as Maya took her seat. She noticed Grey was not in a bright mood, and she wondered what was wrong. Where was the man who was sensitive and suave with her last night? She thought as she took a sip from the glass of orange juice in front of her.Just then, Vivian walked in with a cheerful look on her face. "Good morning, Grey," she said with a smile."Morning," he replied, just as simple as he had answered Maya."Hi, Zing," she said to Zing, who raised his hand in a little wave. "How're you?" Zing asked."Very well, Zing," she replied, and went over to where Maya was seate
