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

MAISIEIt had been two weeks since my intense confrontation with Zayn happened. If he thought that stunt he pulled would get me to behave and stop seeing Felix, he had another thing coming. But he was sorely mistaken. In my eyes, Zayn was merely a conceited, domineering man who sought to exert control over me, much like he did with the rest of his pack. However, I refused to be treated like the others. The moon goddess had made me his mate and his equal, so I could also do the things he thought he could do.So I took my revenge.When I suddenly felt an outburst of rage pulsing down the mating pot, I knew I had hit the jackpot. Zayn must have discovered the mess that I had created in his office, shredding almost all the documents in his office. It brought me great pleasure knowing that he would be so livid, but he would be unable to confront me so I went about my life doing whatever I pleased.Although Evelyn was still causing trouble at work, Odessa and the other women had warmed up

MAISIEIt was difficult for me to process his words at first when he was pressed so close to me, but I was still able to sense his deep sadness through the mating bond. It disturbed me greatly to see him like this on his birthday when he should be busy celebrating with his loved ones and pack. My hands reached out to hold his shoulders, unsure whether I should push him away or draw him close for a hug. But I had no intention of fighting with him so I begged, "Zayn, let's not do this..."I thought he would ignore my soft plea, but he finally regained his composure and moved away from me. His intense gaze stayed fixated on me for a long moment before he asked me quietly, "Would you like to meet my parents, Maisie?""Now?" My eyes widened in surprise. My mate had never taken me to visit his parents even once in the past so I became even more worried about his unexpected actions. I discreetly wiped my sweaty palms on the back of my dress as I asked him, "A-Are you sure about this, Zayn?"

MAISIE I have been avoiding Zayn since his birthday party and he knows it. He had tempted me beyond my imagination and I had almost succumbed to his seduction but I didn't. Deep down, a large part of me was ready to let go of my reservations and stay in his arms for as long as he wanted me there but I knew I wouldn't be able to settle for anything other than the position that was rightfully mine. His only woman. His only lover. His mate. So I used the last of my strength to pull away from him and I left that party with the remaining parts of my sanity. It was one of the most difficult decisions I had made in my life but I had been making a lot of them recently since I entered his pack. At this point, I wasn't sure what he wanted from me but I ached for his touch, his presence, and his love. And that's why I need to snap out of it before this craving consumes me beyond recognition. So I spent the rest of my time staying away from Odessa and her friends because the last thing I wa

MAISIEThat hurt.That really hurt. My cheeks were still stinging from the clap I received when I saw Evelyn lunge at me with feminine rage, attempting to claw my face out but Gail continued to shield me with his body. He tried to restrain her arms but she was like an unbridled beast, hurling insults at me in front of her company building. I was ready to endure her hurtful words and explain until I heard her mention my son with a jeer, “That's why they say you should never trust unmated females. I should have known the kind of woman you were when you were wanton enough to give birth to a bastard-”“That's enough,” I hissed in anger, my claws emerging from my fingertips as I let her see the true nature of the woman she was trying to go against. “I don't care if you believe me or not, Evelyn. But if you ever mention my son from that filthy, uncultured tongue of yours, I will rip it out of your mouth and nail it to your head. Do you understand?”Evelyn froze in Gail's arms as I walked
