The awkwardness hùng in the air. It made it uncomfortable for me in sie still in the seat opposite Maximus.
He was not watching me, but I still felt on edge, like something was ready in burst inside me and give me a terrible headache
iximus asked, his voice mul after our mense encounter half an hour age
* Do you want to have a look before you sign?” Maximus
I jolted straight in the chair and pushed my hand forth, Maximis picked up his head and directed his gaze at que
The papers—our contract he was reading a innment ago was still clutched in his hands, like a noose he was supposed to wrap around my durost

The part of me—the part that was hyperaware of his adentity as my made wanted to scream. Yes, I trust you.
But, it was not the truth.
It was true that, for some reason, I believed his sincerity and believed that he was not out to hurt me. However, complete trist was a different
– Do you want me to please you or be hopest?” I swallowed and curled my hand ammo a live.
Maximus‘ ga
gaze dropped to my slightly quavering lips, and he smirked. Be brucally honest. Always
Heat crept up my neck and tainted my cheeks red. I stared into his eyes, waiting for him to go back on his word, but he didach.
He valued honesty, and I was too tired to pretend to be someone else right now
-1 trusted Aiden before. “I nodded, my throat growing heavy after I had uttered the words.
“Tam not Aiden. “The playfulness in Maximus eyes disappeared, and his stare turned
But I have experienced life with Aiden already. “I siglierl. “I know what it is like to trust someone completely, only to get fucked over. I a someone who was bitten by a snake before. Maximan. I can’t offer myself up in get bitten kƏNİL
The air felt heavy between us. I tried to look away from his eyes, to focus on something else and not him when he looked so still and emotionless. But I couldn’t. He needed to see me for who I was before we signed that contract inday
Maybe, after knowing this side of me, he would change his mind, and then I would be stuck with Aiden again. After all, an Alpha King could never stomach it if someone said that they didn’t trust him.
The silence ensued between us, and it felt suffocating.
“I don’t—know you enough to trust you, Maximus, And if I do know you on that level someday, I will still find it hard to offer you my tast because I am not ready yet. Trust is a heavy word for me now, and I can’t use it easily anymore. I decided to be honest again when he didn’t say anything for a long time
“I won’t offer you my trust either, then.” He said and blinked calmly
I couldn’t decipher what he was thinking or feeling or if he liked what I said or not anymore.
You are not offering me your trust either way, Maximus. Or else why are we here, signing this witch’s contract when you can just trust me when I say I won’t tell anyone about you? “I shrugged with a heavy heart.
The wall between Maximus and .ne
ie was lifted high again. I didn’t think it would ever fall now.
Honesty had proved to be both.

Maximus offered the documents to me in silence. I went over the conditions and clauses, understanding everything perfectly.

Chapter 25
It was just as 1 had imagined.
I wouldn’t disclose any information abour Maximus to anyone, including saying it out aloud in case anyone heard
I wouldn’t cause harm to his interests or try to announce our relationship to anyone unless he permitted it
1 wouldn’t be with any other man other dun him as long as I stayed with Maximus,
My throat dried as I read that condition. I had no choice in kissing Aiden just now,
Choice or no choice, I don’t care. Little one. It’s just like I said before. “This deep voice echoed in the silent room, causing my heart to skip a beat
Right. In this arrangement. Maximus held the upper hand.
Ignoring the lump that formed in my throat. I went over the other conditions.
He would pay for all my expenses—what!
1 don’t need you to pay for anything, Maxi-
It’s non–negotiable. “Maximus stated in a firmy voice that left no room for debate.
Fine. I seethed in silence, I was not a high–maintenance girl, so it wouldn’t matter
The next condition was even more infuriating dun the last.
Even if we stayed in separate Packs or houses, I would spend a night with him every week
“Are you serious? “I snorted to myself.
He wanted to sleep with me once a week? I was supposed to be okay with this, but having it written in the document felt like we were trading sex.
Í skimmed down to the next condition.
Maximus would offer me his protection—Fine.
Maximus would get me back my Pack—That’s great
Maximus would take care of our future children, and I wouldn’t ask for custody in case he decided to let me go. My hands turned coll
We didn’t discuss the kids minured in shock
He wanted to such my children if thad any with him? Did I myjudge him or what
You can’t take care of Hybrid babies. And it’s a great possibility that they will be Hybrids. Maximus said, the heat of his gaze searing my
forehead.
He was right. I would get them killed if I took then with me.
I shook my head and read the last two conditions.
We both wouldn’t interfere with the matters of the mate mark or chosen mates
Maximus would be the one to decide when to end this contract
The way he mentioned everything in detail unsettled me, but my desperation pushed me into signing without giving it another thought
I was fine with what he was offering as long as I got my Pack back and stayed away from Aiden.
Fight
with Maximus instead of signing
If only I knew what ignoring some of those conditions would cause me in the future, I would have chosen to f the damned contract
After I had signed, Maximus signed the papers, too. I was in a trance, knowing that I signed my life to the Devil to get my freedom from an asshole.
If I stayed with Maximus, got my Pack, and had Aiden’s mark, the situation would be messed up, but the destruction of werewolves would be prevented, and I wouldn’t have to suffer with Aiden every day.
Those thoughts kept revolving inside my head as the witch was called in. She was a middle–aged woman who didn’t bother to even look at me and
