Mag-log inMaya's POVDinner went great.Everyone enjoyed and ate to their fill as we talked and caught up with my family.At first, I thought that Cassian wasn't going to join us, but when I asked him if he was going to, he didn't hesitate to say yes.Laughter, stories, jokes and even a little banter here and there, and all of us were having a blast.You'd think that Cassian was just anyone, with the way that he was engaging with my parents, and Ethan as well.During the dinner, Ethan didn't hesitate to ask Cassian what it would take for him to join one of his troops.Mum was obviously not happy about it, and Cassian was quick to pick up the idea.However, he found a compromise for both.He offered to have one of the head warriors train Ethan, so that he could be able to handle himself if he were to find himself in a life-threatening situation.I guess he remembered that Ethan was already kidnapped once, and needed to ensure that if anything as close to that would try to happen, my brother woul
Mr Voss’ POVThe maid made a few calls and finally told us that she knew where the Alpha was.“Will we have to wait so that we can talk to him?" I asked as she was taking us to where he was.“For most people, yes, but not for you.The Voss family will get the highest priority in anything that you ask for, and that includes even seeing Alpha Cassian himself," she answered almost immediately.With Declan, it would have been a matter of whether he was in the mood to see us or not.But hearing that talking to Cassian was going to be that easy, just have me more reason to believe how much he cared about Maya that he prioritized us.I still wasn't convinced that marrying him was the right decision for Maya.Not after everything that she had gone through.“What are we going to talk to him about?" Ethan asked in a hushed whisper as we walked."Your sister. I still don't think that he's the right man for her. Especially not with everything that she has been going through lately," I answered hi
Mr Voss’ POV“Should we stay here or take the offer for the bungalow that's still close to the pack house?" My wife asked, as she was undressing to go and take a shower.We had been shown our rooms, and Ethan had his room right next to us, while Maya was somewhere off in the compound.She walked like she owned the place, and I could tell that those few months that she had been in Moonclaw without our knowledge, a lot had changed.She wasn't the same girl that walked out of the marriage from Declan.“Honey?" My wife called to me, as she was wrapping her towel around her waist.“Are you okay? You seem deep in thought," she added.“I think we should take the house. I don't think it makes sense for us to live under the same roof as our daughter, and soon to be husband," I finally answered her.However, I could tell that the answer wasn't enough for her, making me think hard and deep to see whether I might have said anything out of line.There was nothing."How are you feeling about all of
Maya's POV“Is that why you didn't come back with Jasper?" I asked him, waiting to see if that was the reason, or if there was more trouble brewing for Declan.“You're quick, I like that.And yes, that's exactly why he didn't come back with me.He'll probably be back after a day or so, and by the time he comes back, either some of the packs will already have made their decision, while the others will be contemplating either annihilation or surrender," he answered.With everything that Cassian did for me, he was just proving to me time and time again that not a single soul on the planet would ever dare cross me and not feel his wrath.“You should have been around when I was getting bullied in preschool,” I said with a chuckle.And for a brief second, his face hardened and he became serious."It doesn't matter how long it has been, I'll hunt down your bullies till I find them,” he declared and I felt a chill run down my spine.For a fact, I had absolutely no reason to doubt that he was
Maya's POVCassian's warm and solid hands crept up my back, pulling me tighter and holding me like the world was threatening to take me away.He held me close, his breath blowing down on my back, and his presence instantly calming me down.From someone who never loved me, to someone that was willing to move mountains for me, I couldn't believe how lucky I had been.I prayed to the Moon Goddess, complaining and ranting about how she was taking me from one nightmare and throwing me into another.Little did I know that she was literally placing me in the best position that I could have ever dreamt about.Whenever I was with Cassian, my nervous system was the calmest it had been in ages, and that's how I knew that spending the rest of my life with him was going to be the best decision that I was going to make.“I didn't expect you to leave their side so quickly," he said as I was finally pulling away from the hug.My face literally turned red as I said, “I had to let them get settled and
Maya's POVI had to tell them everything.This wasn't like when I was questioning whether I should have told them through the phone, and spent the next few days worried about what they would have been thinking about.This was different.I had them right there with me.I didn't have to worry about them anymore.“Oh my Goddess!" My mom said in horror as she was seated and literally almost fell off her chair from shock.“My dear Maya," my dad added, as he held mum and tried not to cry himself.Ethan was silent, as all three of them were processing what I just told them.For months, I carried the burden of being mated to a man that every single wolf in existence was terrified of.And that was just after coming from a marriage where my ex husband cheated on me, and took back his longtime crush.So yeah, I was nowhere in the right headspace for the first few weeks, especially when Cassian had told me that it wasn't our first time meeting, and wouldn't tell me where I had met him before.“Wh
Maya's POV"What are you doing here?" Cassian suddenly questioned, his voice echoing and bouncing against all the walls of the arena.Everyone went silent.Even the prisoners that knew they were about to die, who had been whimpering and silently praying under their breaths, went silent.Not a singl
Maya's POVAt first, I thought Jasper was lying, until he took me outside the pack house.The first thing I noticed was the dozens of warriors marching in tandem as they headed down a trail away from the pack house.I instantly got jitters all over my body and had a feeling that something wasn't ri
Maya's POVHaving to play along with everything happening with Alpha Cassian was one of the hardest things that I had to do.Back home, Declan was threatening to take down my entire family with him, if I dared to piss off Cassian.And inside Moonclaw, Cassian was moving and acting like we were supp
Maya's POVCassian was smiling at me.I had probably kept him waiting while on the phone with Declan, and he was smiling at me!I had avoided him for close to a week, and he was smiling at me!I honestly don't think you understand what I was thinking the moment I saw his face light up when he saw m
