MAIA'S POV
The car sped past the accident site, as if it could outrun the pace of my heart.
Earlier at the ward, I'd held Ayra's hand. Pleading with her, “Please wake up soon and come deal with this maniac. I can't deal with him alone, sis”
I know Riot heard me said that because he was just outside the door, and I'd continued. “He's your husband, and I will never snatch my sister's husband, so please….”
Luna Gloria tapped me, jolting me out of my trance. “Did want to visit anywhere?”
I looked up, since she was sitting at the front with Alpha Theo while Riot and I sat at the back. “No Luna Gloria. Thanks so much for this hospitality”
Earlier, Dad and Adam had advised me, that the ruling family of West Pack are the most corny ever.
Yes, Riot wasn't a Royal family but he was afflicted with them, which makes him one, and I'll just have to dance to their tunes until Ayra is awake.
Luna Gloria must really be a talkative, because just as I thought she wouldn't stay anything, she turned again. “Maia dear, would you like to have your honeymoon at Maldives?”
Riot was the first to gasp before I squealed. “What are you talking about!!” He ranted. “I told you she's just a stand in, right?”
“Yes” I found myself seconding him. “Why should I go on any honeymoon with him when he's originally my sister's husband?” I questioned Luna Gloria, because I couldn't even imagine a night with him…..
‘You have slept with him before!!’ my wolf suddenly scolded me in my brain.
Suddenly thinking of that night made my cheeks burn with embarrassment.
I stopped talking immediately and Luna Gloria continued her questions which Riot answered coldly.
“So, have you ever…. I mean heard of the name people call him?” Alpha Theophilius asked this time, making Riot and I look at each other.
I heaved a long sigh. “I heard about it and I've witnessed it myself, Alpha”
He stepped on the break pad immediately, making me knock my head over the passenger seat headboard. He looked back. “What…?”
I looked up. “I… I have seen ..”
“Should I come and drive?” Riot suddenly asked, Interrupting me, obviously, he doesn't want me to talk about it.
I rolled my eyes and sat back. Who says I wanted to talk about him. I thought inwardly.
The mood in the car turned sour again, and I could feel the awkwardness and the hard glare that Riot dashed the couple at the front row. Alpha Theophilus drove on until a golden, regal gate appeared ahead. Luna Gloria jumped up, “We're almost home”
My heard kept thumping madly, as if it could jump out of my body. All I kept mumbling to myself was ‘Its okay Maia. it's okay’
The gate opened automatically when the car neared it, and at the first sight of the first mansion, my thoughts changed. ‘Maia you don't belong here. I don't belong to this place!!!’
Riot was the first to exit the car and I was still fondling with the seat belt, about to leave too, but I saw Luna Gloria who has also exited rush to him and pull him back to open the door for me.
I smiled at the kind of friendship and bond between them, it makes me miss my siblings, Adam and Ayra.
Only if I knew more warm reception was waiting for me. Just as I was surprised, Riots face was also caught in surprise as the train of maids before us bowed immediately I appeared.
Luna Gloria and Alpha Theophilus were grinning ear to ear, as if they knew this was bound to happen, and she too my hand, “Let's get you inside, Luna Maia”
I gasped. “L..Luna?”
“She's an Omega!” Riot corrected but the woman's flashed him a warning glare.
“She's now your wife, so she's a Luna!”
Riot said nothing, but followed behind us while Alpha Theo patted the maids with smiles.
After getting to the end of the red carpet, the maids suddenly echoed. “Welcome, Luna”
I don't know how to react to this but I smiled and faced Luna Gloria with displeasure, “I don't think all these is needed”
“This how we welcome Lunas in the west pack royal family. I was welcomed this way too” She explained before letting go of my hand. “You should face your fears now, Luna Maia. This household is now yours, use as you deem fit”
Then she hugged me. “Be fine dear, Riot needs you”
I froze, Riot needs me? I wonder if she knows what kind of monster he was.
Alpha Theophilus kissed my hand before leaving too, now, I was left with Riot and the train of maids.
He stood there, staring at me. I was about to talk, but one of the maids got up, and smiled at me. With the looks on her face, she seems to be in her 50’s. “I'm Maidservant Bella. I've prepared everything you need please come with me”
I rolled my eyes at Riot, who stood like the frozen stature of Lot’s wife and followed Bella.

For thirty to fourty minutes now, I've been on this orientation spree. It looks like fun at first, but now it's very boring.
Ranging from the closets filled with clothes, to the expensive jacuzzis and massive swimming pools.
I wonder who treats a war collateral like this.
The mansion that looks like it's small from the front now seems to be an endless journey as Bella and I toured, endlessly.
I sat down when we got to the in-house cinema. “Don't you think this is enough for now?”
She stopped and bowed. “Just one more stair till we get to the door that connected Alpha Riot's quarters to yours”
My heart slammed immediately. “So all these are m…ine?”
She nodded. “The mansion has been divided into two before your arrival, under Alpha Riot’s order. So let's check it out”
Grudgingly, I followed her and got to another room that looks ordinary but actually left to another grand splendor of wealth, but reeks of manliness.
Now I get to understand the interior of the house, that the reason why we followed the right stairs at the beginning of this journey was because it's two quarters.
After this, she escorted me back to my bedroom, that was exclusively mine so I could change.
I smiled, she turned to leave, but I called her back. "Maidservant Bella?"
She bowed. “Yes, Luna?”
"Em... how long have you known Riot?”
She shrugged her shoulder. “Why did you ask, Luna?”
“Just wanna know”
“I was assigned to him when the alpha brought him in, and I've been his nanny” she reported with another bow before leaving, making me wonder why she hurried away.
I rolled around on the big bed, it feels good to rest have a long day and I pulled my phone to call Adam that I've landed, but my eyes caught the letter under the pillow.
It reads, “Dear Princess Ayra. Enjoy your time while lazying around. Just serve your purpose of being a war collateral, and never step into my personal quarters unless it's a matter of lie and death— best, Riot”
I angrily tore the letter. How much he must have hated Ayra to leave this kind of annoying message.
After calling Adam and seeing Ayra on the video chat, I got dressed in the dresses arranged against Ayra's arrival and decided to skip dinner.
I don't know how to act around him yet. I called him mad and the bad words despite the fact that he's f****d me in the past, it makes me feel bad.
Two hours later, my hand was playing with my DM list on onlyFans and was reading the love message between Daddy M and I.
I still couldn't stop falling over heads with him as I read the messages, but sad that he wasn't the Daddy M I used to know.
I watched most of his hot videos before falling into a deep slumber.

“Click, Clack” I heard that disturbing sound for the umpteenth time, and hissed with disgust.
I hate being disturbed in my sleep, especially with this annoying sound that makes me remember my childhood days when our mother was still around.
I tried Ignoring it but it was too loud to ignore, the door flew open just as I got up to open it and I was surprised to see Riot there.
“Hey, what's happening?” I asked through my sleepy eyes but no response.
Sleep cleared from my eyes for a while as he walked in, wearing the mask he wore to the wedding as he came in slowly.
Why is he wearing mask even in the middle of the night, and that footsteps…
“Alpha Riot, are you fine? What happened?”
He was now standing before the bed, and his predatory and powerful stance makes me feel very small under him.
“Glad to see you under thesame roof as I am, Little wild may” His voice cooed slowly and sinisterly, seizing my heart with panic.
I jerked up immediately. This is no longer Riot, I'm sure….but…. How sure am I that this man isn't Riot?
I gulped hard. “What… what are you talking about?”
“Coming here is the worse decision to ever take, May. Because I will make sure you experience worse pain than death!” He announced again, spreading more dread to my chest.
“Get away from me!” I snapped angrily. “What did you want!”
As I got out, I was escorted to another mansion in the massive compound.
