Maya’s POVIt was one thing to be abandoned at birth by your biological parents who think you won’t be a great addition to their family, and It was another to be dumped at a pack-house where they don’t know your parents. I had so many questions I wanted to ask my parents when we eventually meet; I want to ask why they hated me, why they didn’t abort me when they found out they were having a child, and mostly why I was dumped in a pack where the occupants don’t care about anything other than themselves? They could have left me in the bush and left me to die, and we would all be at peace.My name is Maya, and this is my story. I was dumped at birth by my parents, who don’t belong to this pack, and the then Alpha handed me over to the Monastery, and I was being taken care of. I was an altar girl, and not too many people attended the church here because the majority of the nuns were humans. They believe in something different other than the moon goddess, part of what made them hate me mor
Alpha Asher’s POV.I went back to my seat since Daniel mind linked me that the rouge that crossed our border was a female wolf and she looked dirty and bruised. I guessed that maybe she escaped from an abusive alpha or maybe an evil mate. I have a lot of them here in my pack, starting their life afresh because their mate decided to move mad. Most times when we get female rouges, that’s always the case. I mind-linked another female wolf to prepare a room for her and help her feel comfortable till I’m done working then I would come to see her.I wonder why some males would hit their mates and maltreat them to the point of running away? I guess some people have things and they don’t value them. This was my tenth year of being the Alpha King of the werewolf realm and for once I’ve never gotten a mate. Some are lucky to get another mate after their previous ones died. I’ve never gotten anyone before, not even one that has had a mate before. It was sad for me because I wanted more. To be lo
Alpha Asher’s POV“What’s your name?” I asked in a soft voice, and her eyes darted all over the place as if she was looking for an escape route. I don’t want my mate to stare at me like she was scared of me; I don’t want my mate to be scared of me. I want her to love me and me to love her back in return. This wasn’t what I planned at all. I have been trying to get her to talk for the past ten minutes, but she wasn’t budging. I don’t know how to do this, but for her, I wanted to put in every possible effort. This was the person I’ve been waiting for all my life and I wasn’t going to let things get messed up.I kind of understand considering that she woke up from a terrible nightmare hours ago and she has been too scared to even blink talk-less of sleeping. I watched her close her eyes for a bit before snapping them open again. After she had her bath, I had Edna, my Zeta get a few clothes for her till she was ready to shop for herself. I wished she didn’t go through all of these before
Jason’s POVI lay on the shards of glass in disbelief. That little brat had pushed me down and made her escape. I wanted to burst into a scream, calling the guards to alert them but the shame overpowered me and I stayed silent. What would they think of me! What would father say! Melissa wouldn't let me hear the end of this story! All these thoughts ran through my head. It made me angrier. Angrier that I couldn’t do what I wanted how I wanted and all because my wolf need more training cause it was born weak! I just lay in the shards thinking of how my whole life would be better if I wasn’t weak and how perfect it would have been. The thought turned to anger. Anger towards myself; for being born weak. Anger towards Melissa; for being so strong and the perfect child and a threat to my position as alpha. Anger towards Maya for doing this to me!The angrier I got, the more I needed to crush something and get all the pain out. So I clawed at the shards beside me and rolling my hands int
Alpha Asher’s povMaya was my mate!This was the only thought that ran through my mind, even as I went through this hell of a meeting. Cypher has been a constant bug, running through the thin thread of my sanity, leaving me in an uncontrollable frenzy. It was weird sitting around a conference table with people whose focus was solely on the matter at hand while my thoughts ran in a circle, skirting on likely methods to tame the wild redhead in the packhouse. Of course, I’d give the suggestions of Daniel a trial. I only hope it yields satisfactory results because right now, my patience has started to wear off; like petals of a rose flower, I was losing my resolve at a faster pace than thread by thread.The meeting ended, and I was out as light; I needed to be somewhere other than that building. Maybe, just maybe, one peek at her lovely face would do the magic.“Where is she?” I asked Edna as soon as I stepped foot into the packhouse. “Define her,” Edna retorted, looking pissed as hel
Alpha Asher's povMaya didn't look as happy as I expected her to be. Right from the first day she stepped foot into our pack as a rogue, her only greatest desire that she had made known to us repeatedly; even until It became her walking siren, like a reminder to us all and most especially to me, was the fact that she hated being my mate and wanted to "explore the world while belonging to no one" as she put it, living the way she wants. I thought taking Daniel's idea would help build a relationship with Maya, no matter how long it takes but she had this wall so strong around her and I feared not even I could bring it down or gain her trust. So I decided to do what I believed was right, I believed it was best to let her go and let her live her life to the fullest, she insisted she wanted it instead of letting me keep her in my pack. If I forced her, it would make it seem like I was caging her since she didn't want to stay... The other best option was to let her go.Funny thing was that
Maya's povI was still shaking, trying to catch my breath after Asher almost kissed me. It was a close one and I thought I was going to remember everything that Jason did to me once Asher touched me and probably have a panic attack but instead, I felt safe and didn't want him to take his hand off me… I wanted him. I gasped wondering how moods could change in such a short time like it didn't even happen… but it did and it was intense. I looked at him where he stood opposite me, his werewolf eyes were gone and he wasn't staring at me angrily anymore, his eyes were still intense but they looked tender this time. For a moment I wanted to run back into his arms and initiate that hug he gave me but I had my pride, I wasn't going to let my guard down.I maintained a stoic posture and returned his gaze with a glare to show him he couldn't intimidate me but instead, he smirked. The man was smirking! I scoffed and folded my arms over my chest "what's so funny?" I interrogated and his smirk grew
Maya’s povThere are two reasons why I don't like the whole mating and marking idea.First, is the strong pull you feel towards the other Person and two is the underlying concept of submission. Completely giving myself and trusting in someone scared me more than I let on. I’ve been broken before. The truth is I’m scared of being broken again.Adrenaline was coursing through my veins as I took a few hesitant steps toward Asher. The fact that he had taken a shower before coming to the dining room didn't help either. He smelled fresh and clean. Immediately, his scent overcame my senses and I breathed in sharply to take it in all. It was husky and somewhat strong yet sweet and sharp in a delicious way and the abundance of it made my knees grow weak.My gaze fell on his huge figure and I couldn’t help but travel a little back in time. The feel of his body pressed against mine…I swear this man is pure lava. He wore a white t-shirt that contrasted to his skin color and hugged every muscle i
