Maze
I rear back at these revelations. I think back to our childhood. Really think back. Without the filter, I probably have had on every other ti I did this, and now I see it. All the tis she would play us boys out against each other. How she would flirt with one day and ignore the next. How she caused fights between Amber and . Even between and my parents. And she did it because she enjoyed it. I fell to my knees. I have been so blind. So stupid.
"Make this right, Maze. Don’t let the darkness overco you. Your mate deserves the very best version of you." Inari says with a soft voice, and I know she is right.
The room is bathed in another bright silver light, and I keep sitting on my knees on the floor bawling like a toddler. A mont later soone rushes in the room, and I am pulled into arms that send sparks throughout my body. She ca. She was at the hospital, but she must have felt , and she ca. I don’t deserve her comfort, but I snuggle into her embrace nonetheless.
"Maze, talk to . What in the realm happened? I just ca to the hospital when I felt your agony. Please talk to when you can, my Alpha." Her voice is soft and sweet. She keeps her arms around while I cry my eyes out. The truth hurts like a bitch, and I was not prepared to have my heart broken again. It feels like it keeps breaking, and when it starts to heal, then sothing or soone breaks it all over again. But as I sit in her arms, the warmth from her and the sparks of the bond between us, begin to penetrate the pain.
I hear running feet, and suddenly my mother’s voice breaks through my scattered thoughts.
"Kiara, what is going on? What happened?"
"I don’t know Luna. I felt him break down in pain, and I rushed here to see for myself. He was on the floor, and a silver light was retracting." Mom growls fiercely. And then she yells for Selene to co back and face her. Of course, the Goddess knows better than to face my mother when she is on a rampage, and she stays away. I sniffle. Sothing is growing inside of . The love I feel from my mom, and the comfort I feel from Kiara. Even with how horrible I have been to her, she still dropped everything and ca to when I needed her. When I didn’t know I needed her, she was the only one I craved.
I sit up, and Kiara retracts her arms. I wrap her in mine, kissing her forehead. I know I’m pushing my luck, but I need to do this. For her. For . For our future life together. We’re never going to have a secret between us ever again, and I will do everything to win her over. I half expected her to hit or at least push away, but she stayed put, knowing I need her close.
"Inari and Selene were here. We had a heart to heart talk."
"Who’s Inari?" Mom asks just as Dad walks in the door. He looks between and my puffy eyes, Mom’s livid face and Kiara on the floor with in my arms.
"Inari? Isn’t she the Goddess of the foxes?" He asks, wrapping his arms around Mom. She shrugs and looks at . Both Kiara and I nod.
"They had sothing to tell . And I got a good scolding for my foolish ways with my beautiful mate. Kiara, I am sorry." She turns her head, and for the first ti, her eyes don’t lose their warmth when she looks at .
"I will forgive you, but you have to tell what had you totally broken on the floor, when you were fine when I left an hour ago." She says, her voice pleading. I sigh.
"Well, they wanted to know the truth about Mira and you," I tell them everything, holding on to Kiara more tightly so she won’t suddenly disappear. Mom is outraged and Dad’s eyes are dark with rage when I’m done. Kiara looks at with wide eyes, a storm swirling in them. No one says anything after I am done, and I hold my breath. Is this the last ti I get to hold my Queen in my arms? Does she think I want Mira back? That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
"So, she is not dead afterall? Should I leave? I... I... I don’t want to be in the way, Maze. I can leave." She sounds so broken, and I kiss her forehead.
"You are not going anywhere. She chose her path. I’m choosing mine. I’m choosing you." Her mouth opens, but nothing cos out. "I, Maze Gold-Moon Blue, Alpha of the Silver Moon pack and King of werewolves, accept you Kiara Black, fox shifter and daughter of Alpha Benjamin and Luna Sami Black, as my mate, Luna and Queen," I say the formal words, and I feel the bond beco stronger, but it won’t be fully there until she accepts , and we claim each other.
"I accept you as my Alpha and mate." She says, but her voice is hesitant. I hugged her.
"We will take this slow, Kiara. Or any tempo you need, but I needed to do this. I need you to know where I stand."
