Now that everything between Maya and her husband Alpha was over, she chose to live a life that she once dreamt of.She was once a girl and just like any other girl she too had dreams... She had always wished to be independent and financially stable but unfortunately her dreams couldn't come true because of Wolf's interference. His coming into the picture spoiled everything, every dream of hers but not anymore."Leaving this place is the only option I have.These people won't let me forget my failed marriage if they keep on singing his name so often.I must go.I'm afraid they might one day side with him and force me to get back to him.I'm sorry father.... I can't stay here anymore."Maya thought while she packed her bags in the middle of the night.She was going to run away, this time all by herself. She wanted space. She wanted to be alone and maybe there she'd be able to forget her past and move on that's why she didn't want to let anyone know where she was going..Thankfully Arwaah
Well, just like she thought a while ago, Maya's greatest fear came true when a dark cloud blocked her way that she couldn't see any further. And here she had to land down and face her fears even though she didn't want to."Grant me strength dear heavens."she prayed silently. This time her human side was talking.Where did she put her demon powers anyway?The thing is... she hated possessing powers the moment she woke up from comma. After knowing that her baby was gone and such powers couldn't stop it from happening...she had nothing else to add on but to curse her powers. It was easy to abandon her demonic powers since she didn't like them anyway. She didn't know how to use them properly that's why..However, her serpent powers remained because there was no way the venom would leave her blood. It wasn't some kind of magic that she'd quit whenever she wished to instead the venom was inside her veins, mixed up with her blood hence it was impossible for her to curse those serpent powers.
Now Maya was thrown before the King who was sitting on his magnificent throne, just like trash. “Ouch!"she gasped in pain but no one cared or showed concerned, not even her fellow women who sat next to the king. One of them was of the king's age and Maya could tell that she was maybe his wife and the rest could possibly be their daughters or daughter-in-laws."Tie her up and take her to the basement.She'll be there till she's checked by the master. I heard he's coming over the day after tomorrow." The king ordered.Wait! What was he talking about?What would that master check for on Maya?She hoped they weren't planning on sacrificing her or something.That could be true.... because King David has all along been looking for a serpent lady who would marry his only son because only then would his precious son get out of a deep slumber that he has been in since he got cursed by a dying serpent girl.Well... this happened twelve years ago when King David's only son, prince Davis Wood wa
Now Maya had no choice but to prepare and allow that man, Victor to figure out what she really was since it was the only way out of that situation she was in right then.However the real question was... would she accept to marry Davis Wood?She was healing from a heart break. She still knew how difficult love and marriage issues are. She had vowed to never love or marry anyone.Yes, it was going to be all about herself and nothing else would matter.But she was someone who always put others first. She wasn't selfish and that fact might compelle her to say yes to this sudden marriage proposal with Davis Wood.Would that mean she'd belong to someone else and not King Alpha?Her heart would skip a beat whenever such thoughts summoned in her mind.Maya calmly spent her night in the basement till the next sunrise. She could've done something and maybe tried escaping while everyone was asleep but no.She didn't even think about it but still, it didn't mean she enjoyed whatever was happening
Queen Natty had locked herself in her chamber and was all lost in so many thoughts. Considering Maya's beauty and age, she could tell she was maybe married, engaged or had a boyfriend and all that might pull her back and stop her from taking this step of marrying her son, Davis Wood."Lord of mercy please let this girl say yes. I don't know why but I feel she's the only hope we would ever have. Please don't let this chance to have our son back slip out of our hands."she prayed with folded hands with her eyes closed as well and then she felt soft hands touching her folded hands. On opening her eyes, she was surprised to find that it was Maya. Now her heart began racing like never before while she waited for what she was going to say."Well... I'm sorry ma'am."Maya said and paused for a moment. Now queen Natty was crying already. She was wondering why this girl was sorry. "I knew it.I knew you're either married or you're currently seeing someone already.Oh heavens...why are you punis
Despite her stubbornness, Maya was still hesitant to break the glass walls that stood between her and prince Davis Wood who laid flatly on his back and all Maya could see was a part of his face. Up to then she hadn't gotten a chance to look at his full face despite him being her soon groom-to- be.Wait! Why was she curious to see his face? Could it mean she would hold his hand for the rest of her days?All she hoped for right then was to not find him so attractive. She didn't want to crush on a wrong person again. In other words she didn't want this marriage but the situation was such that she had to say yes since it was the only way to heal Queen Natty's pain.She couldn't bring herself to imagine how strong this woman was that she endured such pain for the past twelve years. "C'mon Maya, you can't back down after making a promise to a helpless mother. I must do this.It's a matter of one night. I don't care whether I'll be labelled characterless or what...All I need right now i
After Maya had walked in to the chamber, the first thing she did was to stare at this man's well molded face for good minutes. For some reasons she felt like touching him but as she was about to do so on his forehead, a woman's voice echoed through every wall of the castle telling her to stop.In fact there was some harshness in that woman's tone."Hold it! Don't you dare touch him."the voice said.Maya found the voice familiar but she didn't believe she knew anyone from that land. She was new there and yet she didn't expect anyone to have followed her here from her homeland, for she believed it was impossible when the actual truth was that she was right...It wasn't by mistake that the voice sounded familiar. If course it belonged to someone she knew so well.Everyone stood where he was and waited for the voice's owner to get inside but no one did."I'm sure that woman's ghost is still roaming around this castle and it doesn't want him to get well.Maya dear, don't listen to anyone.
After everyone had gone to sleep except Maya who sat in Wood's room watching over him from a distance, she could feel like she was being watched but still her powers couldn't show her what was really going on around her until the voice spoke again, "Maya dear. I'm sorry but I had to do this to save you." This time it sounded from within the chamber."She knows my name?Save! What do you mean by saving me. I'm not in any kind of danger ma'am.And anyways why can't you present your real self before me if you really care about me."Maya said confidently like she wasn't scared at all however deep down she wished she could disappear but she couldn't.She didn't want to leave prince Davis alone especially not with this unknown invisible fellow.There was silence for like ten minutes before a woman appeared in a human form but all Maya could see was her back but still she felt she knew her from somewhere.Of course she did because....the woman was none other than her Aunt Nora."Aunt Nora! It
