Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

Chapter 2

Ken and Maya climbed into their car with Ken in drivers seat.

"Do you think we should trust new pack members and make them warrior level?" Ken questioned.

Maya thought for a moment and replied, "My instincts are screaming No. However, if you used your

Alpha command on both of them and questioned their intentions then we should be able to get a

truthful answer and we will be able to judge if we should keep them or discard."

Ken nodded thoughtfully, "You did good today. Dad would be so proud." Maya simply smiled for they

reached home.

Both of them walked in to the smell of delicious food wafting from kitchen. Ken's tummy growled and

Maya cracked a joke about his stomach being an endless pit to which Ken simply reached out and

messed up her hair.

"Lunch is ready!" Judy called as she saw them entering. Lunch affair at Forrester house was as always

a light and jolly one with Ken shovelling food in his mouth and Maya telling her parents about details of

pack meetings.

As soon as they were done, the twins made their way to the study to catch up on paperwork and study

financials of the pack. They spent the rest of their day solving various problems and dealing with the

Forrester industries which was the main source of their pack's finance.

The Forrester co. was started by their great grandfather who had seen the wisdom in staying

connected with the human world by working with them. Now Forrester industries were dealing in

various sectors with success.

By late evening, the twins had completed most of their work and so they came out of the study and

went to their respective rooms for a little free time before dinner.

Maya tried to watch TV to alleviate her restlessness but her wolf was having none of it. Maya had a

very aggressive wolf who loved outdoors and being cooped up all day inside didn't sit well with her.

Maya jerked her door open and almost ran to the back door.

Wrenching it open she stepped out and after observing that there was no one around started shedding

her clothes. She changed into a beautiful russet colored wolf. She shook out her fur and stepped slowly

towards the forest. Her walk increased in speed and as she hit the tree line, she was running in full

speed.

Maya loved these runs but today she gave the control to her wolf, as an apology for staying indoors,

and retreated from their mind. Maya's wolf was grateful and started running at an even greater speed.

Maya's wolf ran to a small stream that widened out into a pool. She lapped up the water satisfying her

thirst.

She heard a branch snap behind her and quickly turned towards the sound, her hackles up and

growling low in her throat. The wolf woke up Maya and she took over the control of their body. She

contacted her brother mentally alerting him of her situation and sharing what she saw with him.

From the bushes a black wolf slowly stepped out, his eyes on Maya's. He took in her defensive posture

and he stopped, cocking his head to the right. He slowly and reassuringly started towards her. Ken was

screaming in her head to step back but Maya held her position knowing it would show weakness to

retreat. The wolf kept coming towards her. Maya growled once again in warning but the male wolf

whined. Maya was confused and Ken too stopped screaming, opting to silently observe now. The wolf

was quite near Maya now and she still hadn't lost her defensive posture. The black wolf then simply

laid down on his back and bared his throat to her. This further confused Maya and she bent down for a

sniff. Immediately her senses were surrounded by the smell of coconut and her wolf rejoiced at finding

her mate.

Maya backed away and started running back towards the Alpha house to get her clothes. The black

wolf followed her just as quickly and ran behind her, so close that her tail kept brushing his nose. Maya

took her clothes and went behind a bush to change.

She stepped back and saw that the black wolf had now changed into a very handsome man wearing

just shorts and staring at her as if he wanted to devour her. She walked slowly taking unsure steps

towards him. He stayed still, not moving and watching her every step. Maya's wolf was observing every

body part of her mate and she growled approvingly in Maya's head. Maya came closer to him and he

grabbed her waist, pulling her last distance against his body.

"Hi, I am Maya Forrester." Maya breathed out.

"I am Xander. Xander Wolfe." her mate replied.

"And I am Ken Forrester, Alpha of the Forrester pack." called out Ken from behind them.

At his voice both of them jumped apart. "Alpha" Xander said bowing.

"And you are the new pack member who we are going to test tomorrow for the position of the warrior.."

Ken stated simply.

Xander nodded, unable to keep his eyes off Maya. His hands were itching to hold her, his wolf barely

able to stay in control.

Ken looked towards both of them in amusement and then said, "For now stay away from Maya. You

can mate her after the test. Although Maya is the Luna of this pack, she is a pseudo Luna and hence

even if you mate her you will not be able to claim Alpha title."

Xander's eyes flicked towards Ken and he said in a loud clear voice, "I accept your proposal Alpha

Ken. However I want to assure you that I have no designs to be the Alpha of this pack. And I will mate

Maya only after we both get to know each other well." Maya growled at this but Xander only smiled at

her.

Ken nodded thoughtfully and beckoned to Maya to follow him. Maya stomped inside. Ken turned

towards her amused, "You should be happy that you have found your mate and here you are acting

grumpy."

Maya sighed, "My wolf wants to jump his bones and he wants to wait till he knows me better...." she

trailed off. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ken replied scratching his chin, "As a brother I appreciate this gesture, it means that he is a gentleman

and will treat you well."

"Perhaps you are right." Maya replied her shoulders sagging.

"Go to sleep Maya. Tomorrow is going to be hectic." Ken advised. Nodding her head, Maya dragged

her feet to her room.
