Chapter 19
No. “He replied without hesitation.
I found myself tongue–tied and dumbfounded. I moved away from him, breaking free with a harsh jerk
– I told you I am cursed. I was not joking. Maximus added.
My heart missed a heat as I stared at the wall opposite me.” what kind of—curse, Maxie? Are you sure it’s not just an excuse to keep me as your whore? You don’t want to upset your family over me, and you don’t want a woman who was already marked once before. Is that not right!
Yes, that’s what I have been thinking all this time. Who would want someone like me? A woman who once bore the mark of an Alpha and separated. from him will be as good as an insect crawling on the flour in the eyes of everyone in this werewolf world.
No one will ever accept me. And no one will respect me again.
-I do not play around with these things. “M
Maximus hissed, his voice dropping dangerously low.
Then it’s simple, Maximus. “I gulped.” You are cursed, and you won’t tell me what it is. I am bound by a prophecy to have the mark of a man from the Caine family if I don’t want to cause a catastrophe in the werewolf world. We simply can not be together. I have to go.
The excitement of finding my mase and the hope he gave me all vanished. I didn’t think a few moments of freedom and happiness would end so
If I want, I can keep you here, Zia. It doesn’t matter if you want that or not.” He must have reached the peak of his patience to be threatening me
right now
I never keep your
I shook my head, my heart sinking to the pit of my stomach. You want that, but you and I both know you will never do it. You will never nephew’s mate to yourself. Not until I reject Aiden or choose to stay as your secret
Silence fell, and it was enough to tell me that I was right. I didn’t wait in his office after that,
My heart broke, and my mind reeled with the shock of my fated encounter ending up in such a disaster. I still had to reject Maximus for him to find a second fated mate or take a chosen one, but if I did it today, I would collapse.
I was tired. So tired.
I would have to go back to that hellhole and endure the shit Aiden had in store for me. But this time, I wouldn’t relent before his mistress or Emily’s family.
As Maximus commanded, Alden, Emily, and I got out of his Pack by the night.
Aiden and Emily took a separate ride home while I sat in the backseat of the car driven by Jack.
The weight of my decision lay heavy on my shoulders. Every time I recalled the look in Maximus‘ eyes, I kept wanting to go back, to fight some mode, but it was a lost cause.
I didn’t have the time to figure out what Maximus curse was. If I stayed with him any longer, Aiden would figure out what Maximus was to me, and that way, it would become impossible for me to stay with Aiden as well.
1 sighed and rested the side of my head against the window
“Everything alright, Lainat “Jack asked worriedly and glanced at me through the backview mirror.
What could be wrong, Jack Everything is settled. “I whispered, my heart still running a marathon in my chest.
Even Jessie –my wolf wanted me to run back to Maximus. She already missed him, his scent, his eyes, his touch everything about him.
Alpha appointed me as the Beta again. I asqua
assume everything went according to your plans in the Council meeting?” Jack smiled softly, For him, everything did go smoothly. But what about me? I was still stuck with my cheating husband,
Now that you are a Beta again make sure to keep an eye on Emily’s family. They previous Pack and try to grab powerful positions in our Pack, Jack. “I frowned, shaking Maximus away from my thoughts so I could focus on the ey are suspicious. I don’t understand why they would leave their

issues at hand.
In what way do you find them suspicious, Luna” “Jack asked
My frawn deepened. “I don’t know. I just have a bad feeling about thes. Emily’s brother must know that if a stranger tries to form a strong connection with a Pack, it results in pain. He wanted to become a Beta and establish a strong connection despite knowing the consequences. It can’t be just for power. They can have power if Emily’s father becomes an advisor and family becomes a Luna, but they still want more. There is something there, but I just can’t pinpoint what it is yet.”
* I will look into it, Luna. You don’t need to worry. You should take some rest when we get back and forget about all this for some time. “Jack suggested in a light tone.
Now that I secured his old position, Jack seemed to be in a much better mood. It seemed like he trusted me again.
1 smiled unconsciously and leaned back in my seat. That’s when my gaze flickered towards the nearing crossroad.
A truck was speeding from the left side, and another one was coming from the right. My eyes widened, and my pulse quickened as I gasped and leaned forward
– Watch out, Jack. “I screamed, but it was too late.
The trucks were driving too fast, and we were already
by in the middle of the disaster that was about to happen.
The moment one truck hit our car from the left side, my body flew towards the right side with the blow. My head hit the glass window, the strong impact disorienting me instantly
I was quick to grab the side of my bleeding head and regain my mind, but the other truck collected with our spiraling car from the right side, throwing me to the left.
This time, I found my mind going blank against the pain that crashed over me. The last thing I sensed was the car rolling like a football and my body hitting several sharp objects before everything just–
Stopped.
