Maisie

My heart was in turmoil after Keith left the classroom.

But how could he possibly expect me to visit the pack house? I was too undeserving of such an honour. His family was already kind enough to dole out scholarships to omegas who could not afford the academy on their own and still wanted a formal education. Trying to be friends with the Alpha’s son or accepting favors from him would be stepping out of line. It would mean that I did not know my place within the pack and I did.

    Maisie I had never seen Alpha Theodore before but when he walked into the library I froze from the aura he exuded as Alpha of the pack. No one had to tell me that he was Keith's father. I knew instantly. “Father,” Keith addressed the Alpha with no particular warmth, “it is rude to barge into my personal space without knocking.” Alpha Theodore was not looking at his son. He was looking at me intensely. I felt like I was prey and he wanted to gobble me up. “I learned someone entered the pack house without…” “This is Maisie,” Keith cut him off, “and she's with me. Maisie, my father, Theodore.” Goosebumps rose on my arms as Keith introduced me to the Alpha. Hanging out with Keith was one thing but meeting the Alpha so casually was quite another. I was so stunned that I could not string a sentence together. “Has she no tongue?” the Alpha asked. His eyes had not left mine since he stepped into the library. “Father…” Keith sounded angry. “Your Majesty,” I courtesied awkwardly, not q

    Keith Conversation flowed between us naturally. We talked like we had known each other for ages. “Don’t get me wrong,” I said to her, “I love a good poem. I think that they are unnecessarily complicated.” Maisie looked at me like she could absolutely not relate to what I was saying. “You really mean this?” she laughed softly. “Yes. It’s true.” “What you call complicated is the artistry of poetry,” she shared, her eyes alive with ideas as she spoke, “what would be complicated is science. I do feel like sometimes scholars deliberately make it sound hard with weird terms, but it’s really all simple.” “You must be so smart,” I did admire her mind, “Is that why you got the scholarship?” A frown crossed her brows and I felt bad instantly for bringing up the topic. “You don’t have to answer…” “It’s okay,” she replied quickly, “yes. I had the highest scores in the entrance examinations. I guess I only scored low on the physical test.” “The physical test?” “I don’t know a thing abo

    Maisie We never spoke about it. It was something we both endured quietly and then carried on with our lives the next day like nothing ever happened. But when my mother walked into my room the next morning while I rummaged through my wardrobe for what to wear, I noticed her swollen cheek and it broke my heart. It was one reason I was willing to endure humiliation at the Academy. I knew there was a better life for us after that. I could get a respectable job and save us both from our monster. And yet my mother had a bright smile on her face when she walked into my room. She looked simply radiant. It was just who she was. I wondered sometimes how she had ended up with a monster like my father. “Wow!” she remarked, looking at my clothes strewn across the floor and everywhere else. “I just don't have what to wear,” I whined. It was true too. I had nothing to wear for a party. My clothes to school already made me look so inferior. I could not imagine showing up at the pack house in cl

    Maisie I felt the tips of my fingers tremble when I saw Betsy on my living room couch, that sadistic smirk on her lips and that evil glint in her eyes. Her smile widened when our eyes met. “Your friend is here again,” My mother looked cheerful. If only she knew!“I wonder why you two don't just come in together,” my mother said, looking between both of us. “I wasn't planning on coming here today,” Betsy said, her eyes directly on me, “but I changed my mind at the last minute.” I bunched my fingers in a fist beside me. “What do you want?” I asked her. She really was not planning on abusing me in front of my mother, was she? She was a wicked person so I would not be surprised if she was capable of doing that. “There's a party on Saturday,” she said, “I just found out and I wanted you to know about it.” Her eyes glistened with happiness I knew stemmed from absolute cruelty, “All the cool kids would be coming. It'll be fun. Tell me you'll come.” Her act as my friend was complete

    MaisieMy father had a way of making me lose my mind. His very presence annoyed me, and it had all started when I was still a small child. He would always find every reason to hit me, calling it discipline. He was very harsh on me growing up. It was almost like he hated me. And when I asked my mother if perhaps I was not really his son, she had told me he would have killed me if he thought that I was not his son. He had stopped hitting me eventually because I had started training to fight and would fight him back and mostly win. Now we had long arguments and shouting matches and threatened each other openly. It was a hate-hate relationship that I had with my father. Nothing more. There was no love. At least, I had never sensed that he held such a feeling for me. He only saw me as his replacement but always pointed out how I was lacking the qualities to take over from him successfully. I was determined to prove him wrong. I dropped my bag and walked out of my room and the pack house.

    KeithMaisie was an interesting person. She made me happy, it was just too easy to talk to her and with her. She knew a lot of things too. It was a breath of fresh air from girls within the royal circle who made themselves dumb to appear appealing to me. That has always irritated me. But not Maisie—she knew so many things and the things she did not know, she was ready to listen attentively, she loved knowledge. ‘Don’t fall in love, Keith,’ my wolf said to me all of a sudden. I tried to push Alden out of my mind but he came back to whisper to me, ‘Don’t…’ ‘She’s perfect,’ I told him, ‘the goddess has to make her my mate.’ ‘So you'll reject your mate for her?’ I smiled to myself. ‘She’s the only one for me, Alden. I know she's my mate.’ If I could see Alden, I knew he would be rolling his eyes at me. But I did not care what he thought. The only thing that mattered right now was how I felt about Maisie. And I knew it was cringe, but I did feel butterflies in my stomach when I look

    Keith“I would like to see her,” Olga insisted, “I have been looking for a new slave myself to help with keeping up the spirits in my parties.” I maintained the smile on my face, trying not to upset her, “then we shall send a call for slaves in the pack,” I said easily, guiding my wife away from M

    Maisie“Stand guard outside,” Keith ordered Cassian, “I'll be back once night falls.” Keith was speaking in low tones, but my ears were listening intently to every sound. I was already thinking of how I would escape. I had done it nine years ago and I would certainly do it again. I was not scared

    Maisie I threw my body in front of Lance as Beta Cassian’s sword bore down on him. The sword cut through my clothes and sliced the skin of my stomach. I winced in pain as I covered my son with my body, shielding him from Keith's terrifying gaze. “What?” Keith sneered, “You'll die protecting your

    Maisie“Look at the time you’re coming in!” my boss, Silver Cross, shouted at me so loudly that his spit landed on my face. The action irked me, but I had to remind myself that I was in the human world and this human was my boss. Even though I had enough strength as a werewolf to rip him to shreds,
