Even though Maya tried to pretend like she was not scared, she was. What had come over him? Even though she did not want to tell him what had really happened, she knew she had to tell him. She knew he would do what he promised to do if she did not give him what he really wanted. “Fine. I will tell you. Just let me go” She growled but he let out a soft chuckle, not taking he knife away from her neck.“You better start talking. I am not changing the location of the knife until you are done with what I have just asked you to say” He threatened. She knew he meant what he had just said. If she did not tell him the truth, he was going to take her life right there at that minute. “Fine. I already paid the price” She answered, her heart racing . “Paid what price?” He lessened his grip on her and she decided to take that advantage as she hit him in the ground and tried to run away. At first, she tried to run away and it felt like she would be able to escape but he was quick to hold her back
Hearing the crying sounds of owls even at that time of the night, Eden knew something was definitely wrong. She jumped out of her bed quickly, making Lucian rise up as well. He knew something was definitely wrong with her. “Are you sure you are okay?” He questioned, looking at her confused. “I feel something is wrong. Something is definitely wrong somewhere. Listen to the sounds of the owls” She urged. Her face had formed into a ball of frown. She looked very scared. “Come on, do not listen to that. They are mere superstitions. Nothing is wrong” He answered and placed his hand on her shoulder. She did not seem okay as she shook her head and slowly removed his hand from her shoulder. It was not superstition. It was really true. It was a sign that something negative was about to happen. She knew for a fact that something terrible would happen and she needed to find out what it was. It as too late to see Odi at that time of the night. Also, she had no idea where he would be. “No, Lu
Even though she could not fight, she knew she had to do something. She could not watch her people die while she sat back to watch. She had begun to hear people wail and it made her even more upset. She stormed out in anger, looking more upset.Maya had begun to hear the sounds and it made her quite happy. She knew she had to pretend like she was not aware so as not to breed suspicions. She could however not trust her mother as well as she could betray her as well.She pretended to still be asleep when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.“Maya, get up. We are in trouble. You need to come out. There is chaos in the pack. “ Her Mother sounded so worried. It made her laugh but she tried not to. She knew her Mother would be quite worried and she was sorry she had to put her Mother in a such position.She was really not sorry. She opened the door slowly, looking so scared.“Mother, what is going on?&rdq
Maya was quite glad that everything had happened faster and easier than she had imagined. She however returned to her room so her Mother could see her. “Maya!” Her Mother screamed, quite worried as she saw how injured her daughter was. What had happened to her?“What is the matter? What happened to you?” Her Mother questioned, studying her. She was upset with her for going out even when she had not instructed her to. “I told you not to go! Look at her you have done to yourself?” Her Mother lamented, studying her. Maya was quite relieved. She was excited things were going the way she wanted. She could not wait to leave the pack to see Eden. She had begin to imagine how Eden would be. The shook on her face when she realized she was behind it all. Eden on the other hand had woken up and she had to begun to wonder where she was. What exactly was going on? She had woken up to meet herself in that strange room. Her hands and legs were tied and she was all alone.Her eyes fluttered open
In satisfaction, Maya watched life seep out of the woman she once called her best friend. She was so happy and relieved that it was finally over. She threw the knife to the floor, blood stained all over it as well as her body. Having made sure Eden was no longer alive, she tried to step out when she suddenly heard the door open. Her heart raced as she was quite scared but then, a relieving smile formed on her ace when she found out it was the rogue king. “You scared me” She sighed and placed her hand on her chest. “Scared?” He raised his brows as his lips curved into an half smile. She still had as scared as she had not expected to see him there anymore. The agreement was for him to put her there and leave. “Why?” Maya chuckled. “Well….. I had thought someone else came in. “ “Someone else? What if someone else comes in? Does it matter?” He shrugged. Maya was not sure of what was going on. Why was he asking her so much question? Even though she was quite upset, she would not want
“Maya! My goodness!” Her Mother placed her hands to her mouth as she saw her daughter coming from afar, looking so injured. She was far from okay. Just like her, several other of the pack members leapt ad they walked in. Well, they had gotten injured on their way there. While they were running, they had gotten injured. With each minute that passed by, the joy in Maya's heart grew as she finally had all she had wanted. It was finally time to meet Lucian. “Mother” She pretended to be quite hurt as her Mother quickly picked her up and took her instead. She walked so gently like she would break. “Maya, what have you gotten your self into?” Her Mother questioned, looking at her injured self.“All thanks to her, we are free. She is our savior and we are grateful to her. She deserved to be the Luna. You have a great child” One of the released women answered and others nodded in agreement with her. Although she was quite happy to hear such words, those were the last words she wanted to h
Maya’s mother screamed as her daughter was already at the verge of death. Her breathing was more on the heavy side.She let out a sigh of relief when Lucian let her go. He looked quite sorry although he refused to say it as he walked out angrily. He wondered where Eden could be and what could have happened to her. As soon as he walked out, Maya began to cough. Her Mother hurriedly went to lock the door before coming back to check her daughter. “Are you fine?” Her Mother questioned and she simply nodded. Her Mother hurriedly got up to get her water but the smile that formed on her daughter’s face did not go unnoticed.“Maya” Her Mother suddenly questioned, raising her brows. Somehow, she knew something was not right and she did not try to hide the bothered look that formed on her face. She was sure something was wrong somewhere. Maya looked at her Mother as she wondered why she was staring at her in such manner. She arched her brows. Maya’s mother turned immediately to the kitchen t
Eden fluttered her eyes open to see the stranger who had come to see her. She could not understand what had gone wrong or where she was. Was it another life? Was it some sort of afterlife? Just then, she jumped up to see who it was as the door pushed open slowly. Was it the afterlife? She looked shocked as a man as well walked in together with a woman.He had his hands crossed behind him and the one walked after him like she was some sort of guard. Beauty was an understatement to describe them both. They were so amazing. “You are awake” A smile formed on the lad's face as she stared at Eden. Of course, everywhere was painted white and it had enhance her thoughts that it was indeed the afterlife. Heaven maybe?“Awake?” Eden questioned herself as she looked around, wondering where she was and how she had gotten there. What was really happening? She was confused as she stared at them both. “She is beautiful!” The woman commented again, making Eden arched her brows as she looked aroun
