Chapter 218: Who conducted the attack?

MAVERICK’S POV

I looked at the girl sleeping in my arms without a care in the world and couldn’t help but feel my heart still beating at the pace of a bullet train.

As an Alpha, I wasn’t supposed to feel so nervous and anxious around anyone as she makes me feel.

Her presence is both calming and pushing my buttons at the same time. Whenever I am with her, I meet a side of me that I didn’t know was there.

This was hotter and tougher than I had imagined.

The way her mouth parts open as she gasps for air to breathe, her tongue slightly out, and her teary eyes begging for more when they look at me so sensually, it’s so fucking sexy that I want to just push my cock into her mouth and fuck her senselessly.

I never knew I had this kind of side to me.

But I never knew this was going to be this sexy, either.

Her eyes, her voice, her moans, her groans, the way she screams my name when I hit her g-spot, and she reaches her climax, fuck...

Damn it! I keep thinking about these things all over again, and because of that, I haven’t been able to calm down even when she has been sleeping for the last hour.

Here, I have been looking at her like a creep while thinking sensually about her, making love to her mentally so many times.

’Keep it limited, Maverick. We don’t want to scare her,’ Reaper said, and I hummed.

It was true. I did not want to scare her. Now that she has confessed her love to me and I know I have her heart with me, I want to ensure she never feels the need to detach herself from me.

Yes, there will be times when I will lose control, but Valencia knows how to handle all of my forms, and that’s exactly what I like about her.

"Mmm," She moaned, throwing her leg on my legs and feeling her bare skin touching mine; I groaned internally, knowing well she was only wearing her panty and a loose top as she slept in my arms.

The thought of siding her panty lining and pushing myself inside her slowly was growing with each passing second.

Was it possible, though? Will I be able to do it without waking her up? I just needed to feel her warmth again to calm my manhood, which was aching once again.

’At this pace, you will be one addicted to her,’ Reaper teased me.

’Well, haven’t you guessed already? I have been indeed addicted to her for quite some time,’ I said, and he grinned.

I know he fell for her first. Though he still can’t feel her wolf, he knows there is a presence in her head, and we have been hoping that she has a wolf that is not ready to come out for some reason.

I was amazed to learn that she is Luna’s daughter, given how she was treated back in the Ber pack.

Yes. After finding out Tyler was her mate, which she rejected, I asked someone to gather all the information about her as soon as she left for her so-called mission.

I didn’t do it because I was suspecting her of anything.

Instead, I wanted to know how much she suffered because I wasn’t with her. How many times I couldn’t protect her?

When I got the report, to say I was surprised at the inhumane and heartbreaking things she went through was more than enough for me to launch an attack on the Hazel Moon pack.

However, when I was boiling with anger, Dylan came to see me and told me why they didn’t react to anything, even though he knew most of the stuff after she rejected Tyler.

The reasons have never been stupider, but I also understood his point of view.

The grandmother, who ran away with Valencia to protect her life 18 years ago, went to the Hazel Moon pack because she knew the late mother of the pack’s beta at that time.

The grandmother loved Valencia like her very own. She knew secrets that no one knew about the upliftment of the curse and its cure because she worked closely with witches in her day.

The grandmother was afraid that the moment she told the remedy to the council, they would take away Valencia, whom she loved dearly. Valencia was a part of the council, as her father was the real council head.

For that reason, she hid the cure to the thing somewhere that only the beta’s family knows.

The council always thought there would be no need to go that length. They stop the curse from being lifted in the first place.

However, recently, something tragic happened.

The witches informed the council that they couldn’t protect Valencia, and because of that, tragedy started to take place somewhere in the world.

The formless monster, the unnamed devil of the dark world, the one whose hunger seems no end, born without a heart, shape, and size as he looks for the very red coral that would make him breathe, he roams the earth, sucking the life out of people.

These were the exact words that they said to the council.

I don’t know if I was thinking in the right direction, but the way it said the red coral, I wonder if that’s exactly the red coral everyone has been maddening over.

Was the red coral that powerful and expensive because the devil and his goons were looking for it themselves?

But what could this red coral be?

I was brought out of my thoughts when Valencia placed her hand on my chest and rubbed her nose on my sides like a cat, making me smile.

"My kitten," I whispered before stopping.

Right. I still need to remember that kitten I wanted to catch last time.

What exactly is her relationship with Valencia?

Is Valencia really shapeshifting before me?

If this had been my previous self, I would’ve never believed in something atrocious like this, but after meeting Valencia, after meeting that cat, after seeing how she acts around me, how they never appear at the same time, and with her curse in the air, I feel this could be a possibility, too.

There was no way to check it either.

She was a werewolf. And unlike other shapeshifters, I can’t really send her blood to be tested in the laboratory because I know it won’t give anything.

Licking my lips, I bent and kissed her forehead, making her smile in her sleep.

I was about to close my eyes when I heard my phone vibrating, and my eyes furrowed.

Why was Shadow calling me at this time of the night?

Without thinking twice, I gently removed Valencia from over me, placing the pillow under her just in case she missed my warmth as I walked to the balcony to pick up the call, afraid she would wake up.

"What is it?" I asked, and Shadow sighed.

"Sir, you were right. Matilda has been contacting and provoking Miss Valencia. The alpha has been sent back to his pack, and as you had guided us, we have inserted the microphones in some places to know what they would talk about Miss Valencia," Shadow said.

I hummed.

I know this alpha Tyler is shady as hell, and with his recent attempt to reject the rejection, I just can’t let him go like this.

I will have to see that he and his so-called fiance stay away from my woman and stop provoking her. But more than that, I need to know if they know anything about the cure of the curse.

If they don’t, I will have to find something to help my baby, who has become my world and will soon become my wife, too.

"And?" I asked Shadow to let him know so that he could continue reporting.

Shadow hesitated for a few seconds, and I knew that what he was going to say would either enrage or upset me.

"What is it?" I asked again.

"Well, the recent attack on Miss Valencia was conducted by the same group of the rogues who attacked those years ago," Shadow said.

I took a deep breath.

The same group conducted the attack?

Does that mean they were the same people who ruined my life all those years ago?

What were the chances of my elder brother leading these attacks again if that was the case? Reaper snarled lowly at the idea of my brother wanting to hurt our woman, and I massaged my forehead.

"Try to look more into it. I want to know what exactly they want from us. They never said anything about the alpha’s position. They keep attacking whenever I am on the verge of happiness; what exactly do they want from me?" I said, and Shadow noted a few more things about the recent meetings before ending the call.

I turned to look at the woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed and sighed.

"I won’t let anyone harm you, Valencia. Just stay close to me. I will kill anyone and everyone for you," I promised her, smiling when I saw a small smile forming on her lips as if she were listening to me.
