MAYA

"Are you alright?" he asked as he draped a comforting hand over my shoulders, pulling me gently against his side.

"Yeah," I nodded, turning to face him. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to get angry, but it's difficult not to. She came here to accuse me of crimes I didn't commit."

He nodded slowly. Then he cupped my face in both hands, thumbs brushing lightly over my cheeks. The scent of fresh shampoo and his familiar cologne wrapped around me.

Even now, my heart skipped a beat as his face loome

    NERIAHI paused, staring at my father strangelyHe seemed to regret what he said and turned his back to me. I waited for a few seconds, expecting a follow-up explanation of who the Dark One was or any other information but my father remained silent."Who is the Dark One, Dad? And why would he gladly have me?"He lowered his head, muttering some expletives under his breath. When he turned, he had a resigned look on his face."Listen to me, Neriah, I know you've been meeting him, haven't you? I saw you go out the other morning and I know you lied to me the other day too about not knowing where he was. You have met him.”I knew instinctively he was talking about Corvus but somehow, instead of accepting that, I decided to play dumb."Met who, Dad?""Did you think I wouldn't notice?"My heart lurched painfully against my ribs. I raised my chin, holding my father's gaze. "I don't know what you're talking about."His eyes flashed with annoyance. "Don't lie to me, Neriah. Can you tell me why

    NERIAHWhen I looked up, he watched me intently, and his eyes held…an emotion I could not explain."Let me go!" I said through gritted teeth."No!" he shook his head. "Stay…" Then, turning to the crowd, he said. "I, Rian, accept you as my mate, Neriah." And then he lowered his mouth and captured my lips.The kiss had been so sudden, but when I recovered, I pushed him away from me, hating how compromised the whole thing was now. I turned to the pack members and saw them watching me with disdain. It was bad enough that I was already the black sheep of the pack, but this….?Thames was their favourite pack child. Everyone loved him, cherished him, and now I've hurt him. I'm sure no one considered that there was a s huge possibility that my father was behind this.I remained in stony silence as we completed the engagement process by the end of the night. Rian presented me with a ring as proof of our newfound engagement.The night continued after that, and after I left the stage in forced m

    NERIAH"First, I'd like to thank the beautiful people of the Northern Forests for your warm welcome. It's truly a pleasure to be here. I love everything from the food, the drinks, the weather, and the conversation…" he paused slightly as his gaze returned to me.Then he looked away. "It is truly a privilege to stand before you all. This is just me saying thank you for everything. I want to invite my father, the Lycan Leader, to address us. Thank you."He gave a short bow before he went back to where his father was sitting and escorted him back to the platform before retreating to his seat. His eyes met mine briefly again, and he smiled.I stood among the crowd, the plate of half-eaten food forgotten in my hands. My heart was still unsteady from the strange encounter with Rian earlier, but I pushed the feeling aside, forcing myself to focus on the speech.I watched Rian; he still had the same lazy confidence to him even as his father spoke. Watching the two of them, father and son, mir

    NERIAH"The alliance between the Auréans and the Western Cliffs, although I heard they're in the process of changing their name, dates back to Seven Generations," he explained. "Originally formed during the Great Drought, when both territories needed to share resources to survive. That is how your people and why your people were finally accepted as part of the werewolf communities.""How do you know all this?" I asked, genuinely curious now."Let's just say I've had an educational upbringing," he replied with a mysterious smile. He sampled a small piece of the honeyed apple and nodded approvingly. "Like your feast preparations, thorough and thoughtful."I couldn't help but smile at the compliment. There was something magnetic about him, a self-assured grace that seemed both natural and practised. I could also tell he was a Lycan, though his aura felt different, stronger somehow, more contained, like a closed fire that could roar to life at any moment. After helping pick food, still en

    NERIAHThames left to greet the entourage escorting the Lycan Leader's son while I just stood in the crowd feeling lost.The vibrant lights from the party flickered against the night sky, reflecting in my eyes. Laughter, clinking glasses, and the endless, scattered conversation all over the place surrounded me, but I felt oddly out of place.The music played softly in the background, creating an atmosphere of celebration, yet I couldn't shake the unfamiliar feeling settling over me. For the first time, I was not in charge of anything at the party, which felt strange.Normally, I would be directing servers, checking on the food preparation, or ensuring the ceremonial aspects of the welcoming feast were properly arranged. Practically all the things my mother would have done if she were healthier.Thereafter, I would stand with my stand to greet the arriving guest. After that, I will continue managing the events and serving everyone. But for some reason today, my father had specifically

    NERIAHHe crossed the small space and sat down beside me on the bed. The mattress dipped under his weight. Never in my memory had my father sat on my bed. He always stood, towering over me, maintaining the physical manifestation of his authority."Your mother's condition has worsened, Neriah," he said solemnly, staring at his hands. "And the healers are not so positive again."A cold dread washed over me. My mother has been ill for nearly two years now, with brief periods of improvement followed by devastating relapses. But my father had always maintained she would recover, that it was just a matter of time."But can you do me a favour?" he asked, his voice softer than I had ever heard it.I was shocked. My father had never asked me for a favour. He commanded, and I did his bidding. That was the way it had always been. The balance of power between us was as fixed as stars in the sky.I nodded wordlessly, afraid to speak lest my voice betray my confusion."Reject Thames and marry the s
