Alpha Julius Chapter 23
Maia POV “Mate” his baritone voice growled. Disbelief coursed through me coupled with an overwhelming sense of relief as I felt Celeste awaken within my mind. She raised her head and howled, long and deep as she felt Thanatos calling to her through the mate-bond. How was this real? Doubt crept into my mind as tears began effortlessly falling down my cheeks. This was something I had never allowed myself to even consider to be a possibility, because I knew that if I were to either be rejected, or if something were to happen to the mate bond, the damage would be irreparable. I had endured a lot of pain in my life, more than the average person, but that…that would destroy me. And here I was, faced with my salvation and my destruction on a knifes edge. My feet failed to move as I watched Julius stalk towards me, wearing nothing but a pair of black shorts, his muscular body glistening with sweat in the summer heat. How could I be worthy of him? “The Goddess doesn’t make mistakes.”
Alpha Julius Chapter 24
Judging by the fact that the water was still running and it was still hot, I figured I couldn’t have been asleep that long when I was suddenly jolted awake by the beginning of a nightmare. Thank fuck I hadn’t been in the bath. I stood slowly, getting a minor headspin from the heat and having to lay my palms flat on the walls for support. Perhaps I’d been asleep longer than I thought. I let out a deep, sorrowful sigh and turned the water off, stepping out into the bathroom and wrapping one of the fluffy towels around my body. Steam now fogged the mirrors, not that I would have looked in them anyway, but if I had I would have seen a very red, very puffy face with swollen eyes looking back at me. “Maia?” Julius’ soft tone pierced through the silent air, making me hug my towel closer to me in anticipation. “Can I come in?”“Y-yes” I replied awkwardly. His large hand entered the room before he did, pushing open the door painfully slow, as though giving me ample time to mentally prepar

Chapter 25“Who’s in the basement?” I regrettably stood from the bed, wanting nothing more but to curl up within the sheets and pick up where I left off an hour ago.“When we got word that you might be in your old pack, I had Dean do some digging. I wanted to know if anyone that knew you back then was still there, so if we had trouble finding you perhaps they could help.” He paused, hesitating before he continued. “We only found one person still living there that knew you back then, outside of the Alpha, but he has been M.I.A for weeks now.”My stomach dropped. “Wes.” I whispered. “Yes. It was last minute, but I organised a secondary mission with a few of my warriors while I was out looking for you…” “Wes is in the fucking basement, isn’t he?” “Yeah.” I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths as I tried to quiet my chaotic mind. If I had thought the bed was looking good before, it was looking even better right about now. “This isn’t something you need to deal with tonight, Maia. He’
Alpha Julius Chapter 26
Julius practically purred as I ran my long nails through his thick hair, my legs still hugged around him and my body molded perfectly to his. There were no words that could come close to describe the feeling of being wrapped in his arms, our mate bond complete. It almost felt as though the terrors of my past existed in a different universe, that my real life was meant to start now. Almost, being the key word there.Julius sighed heavily as he nuzzled into my neck, a spark of anxiety flaring through the mate bond. “We have to get up, don’t we?” I groaned, as the bubble that encompassed us began to pop. “Dean just mind-linked. If I don’t answer he may take it upon himself to come find me.” Julius murmured, his hot breath tickling my skin and re-igniting the flame in my core. He pulled back and took a deep breath in, his nostrils flaring slightly as he took in my scent, which I had no doubt gave away my desires. “Maia… I have no problem taking you again, regardless if Dean walks in or

Julius POV“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” I asked Maia as we approached the door to the basement. Confidence and resolution rang through our bond, but I didn’t want to make any assumptions, not when only a day ago she was almost completely catatonic. She still hadn’t told me exactly what happened, and whilst I was curious to know what Adrian had done, so I could repay the favour, there was no chance I would push her. I knew she would tell me in her own time. “I’m sure.” Was all she said, her voice filled with determination and her back straight as we came to a stop at the thick steel door. I raked my eyes over her strong body, knowing by the way the corners of her lips twitched that she could feel my admiration through the bond. “Okay, let’s do this.” We stepped through the door and made our descent into the basement, the souls of our shoes whispering against the polished concrete. I felt her bristle at the coldness, and I inwardly cringed as her anxiety crept through the bo
Alpha Julius Chapter 28
Maia POVMy head was reeling with the multiple bombs Wes had dropped on us as I followed Julius up the winding staircase and back into the main area of the pack house, Dean close on my heels. I could barely hear them as they spoke together, mentioning something about the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, too wrapped up in my own thoughts and feelings to pay any attention to the real world around me. I was surprised at my reaction to seeing Wes for the first time since escaping his trailer (the first time). Anger lashed out of me as I had stood before him, watching as he trembled at the back of his cell, his dull grey eyes holding the fear that I had expected myself to feel. “Maia, are you coming?” Julius’ light touch on my arm snapped me out of my thoughts, his eyes glowing with concern as they searched my own. “Um, yes, sorry, where are we going?” My words tripped over themselves as I tried to get back up to speed with what Julius and Dean had been talking about. “Back to my office.”
Alpha Julius Chapter 29
My best friend climbed onto the stage, ignoring the steps she could have easily taken, and wrapped me tightly in her arms before pulling away, he small hands still gripping my shoulders as she eyed me curiously. Her face lit up when her eyes fell on the now healed mark that sat embedded within my creamy skin. “Oh my god, congratulations!” She squealed, earning us a side-eye from Julius and a muffled laugh from Dean as they stood to the side, far enough away that we had some privacy but close enough to hear just about everything we would say. Especially with how easily Maeve’s voice carried. “Thank you” I replied, an embarrassed smile forming on my face and the beginning of a blush rising in my chest. “So you two have, ya know, sealed the deal?” Maeve made some enthusiastic hand gestures, making me choke on my own saliva as the blush crept up to my cheeks. “Yes, Maeve, I don’t think the mark would have healed if we hadn’t done…that.”“I know.” She grinned, the sneaky bitch. “I’m gl
Alpha Julius Chapter 30
It seemed our demonstration had it’s intended affect. Pack members gritted their teeth and fought harder than I had ever seen them fight before, a newfound sense of determination filling the atmosphere as wolf after wolf went to battle. Julius, Dean and I wandered through the groups, offering words of advice and encouragement, which in all truth wasn’t needed too often. These people had already protected their town once, and they were showing me exactly how they planned on doing it again. The session went longer than usual, clocking up to almost three hours by the time everyone was ready to call it a day. And yet, there was still no sign of Maeve or Jake. “Did you notice when Maeve left?” I asked Dean, the loud click of a lock echoing around us as the key turned in his hand. His brow furrowed at my question, igniting a small flame of anxiety deep in my core. “I did actually, her and Jake left at the start of your fight with Jules, kind of in a rush now that I think of it. But I don
