MAYA I sat at the centre of the table with the pack members, eating grilled pork and chicken legs glumly. This wasn’t how I wanted to spend my college year. I wanted to be happy and bubbly as they come, but now, that wasn’t ever going to happen. The worst was that no-one around the table was happy. Everyone had some inner demons they were fighting. The war wasn’t healthy at all, and we have lost a few more people along the way. I also heard that the werewolf hunters weren’t giving up. Chloe’s dad had sent a couple of resources to track us, and we have no choice but to stay as low key as possible. “Stop stabbing into your food. Try to eat more,” Mike said in the middle of nowhere. I looked at him across the table. He was seated beside Jean who had made it a point to glare at me through the course of this meal. I need to have a talk with her because this was getting out of hand. Mike was swallowing one of the pork, and chasing it with a glass of wine. Why did he need to ask me a
The rage in me was so strong, and I didn’t know how best to control it. All I knew I wanted to hit Jean, and cause her so much pain. I could see her a bit despite the food particles on my face. She was glaring at me with so much hate in her expression. I couldn’t stop it, despite hearing Mike authoritative voice trying to calm me down. All I thought was trying to strangle Jean. How dare she talk to me like that? I dived forward, almost at the same time Jean did. She held my hands behind my back using one hand. I tried to free myself from her, but it was a bit difficult to do so. She used the other hand to rub the food deeper into my skin. I screamed at her. “Goodness!” Mike screamed behind me. I couldn’t comprehend was happening anymore as two hands grabbed me from behind with such force that knocked me off my feet. The rational part of me wanted to stop the violence, but the unhinged part wanted to fight. I wanted to win. I wanted to put Jean in her place so bad. “Stop thi
His lips were soft and manly all at once. I couldn’t help but bite him on his lower lip. His soft moan took me by surprise, and softly he pulled back, only to rub his nose on mine. “Babe,” he said softly. “Babe?” I asked slowly. “Yes, you’re my babe.” He pulled back completely, and we just looked into each other’s eyes. I know we haven’t defined our relationship, but still I felt the butterflies as we just went lost in our eyes. “I know all this is so intense, and we literally don’t know what we are doing, or where we are heading to, but trust me, I won’t do something that you’re not ok with. I’m not with Jean, and I can’t think of being with another person other than you.” I blinked twice. This was the most that Mike has ever come to in this thing called relationship that we were doing. I felt like I was dreaming, but I also knew this was a reality. “Do you promise that if you have doubts, you will come to me?” He looked at me so intensely, with his lips upturned. “I
There was just an inch space that separated me from Mike. I spent the whole time I was in the room with him looking right at his face. He had the most beautiful facial structures that I have ever seen, and I wanted nothing more but to look at him till I had my feel. His lips were plump, and so kissable. I wanted to bite it, and suck it. The thoughts swimming in my head looked like it belonged to someone else, but I knew it was all me. I felt so starved. It was so silly of me to think that there was something going on between Mike and Jean. All those times, he had only had eyes for me. I remember he almost lost control of himself in jealousy. I wouldn’t make this mistake once more. My hands shot forward before I could stop myself. I caressed his lips with them. He looked at me through the corner of his eyes, and slowly brought his tongue to lick my fingers in a soft kiss. I retracted my hands, and stood to my feet, while he looked like he wanted to pull me over his knees and do
His pain made my heart bleed. I could literally taste it, and it was the weirdest thing that had ever happened to me. I wanted him to be happy and have some form of peace, but it was increasingly difficult to achieve. “Maya, I wish that this whole mess never happened," Mike said softly. I nodded against his chest. “Me too.” “I will protect you from the hell that’s going on now. Trust me Maya. I won’t lose you like I lost my parents.” “I know. I’m positive that you will do all you can to make me happy. I know I can always count on you Mike. You’ve done so much for me. You’ve been my source of strength,” I whispered softly. He squeezed my arm. “Hopefully, I will keep being that for us,” he said softly. I rubbed his chest. “I will figure how to handle the issues surrounding my parents. Go to sleep now. It’s a long day ahead tomorrow.” I nodded. I nodded, as he turned off the light. I closed my eyes tightly as I knew he would be doing too. I didn’t want to think about anything
The cold of the night, and the glare of Marcus eyes bit into my skin like a habit. I was really root in this. He had been talking for quite some time, but my fear was so potent that I had not heard a word she said. It was indeed so crazy at this point. “Maya” Marcus snapped, obviously irate at my disinterest. “I need to leave,” I said at once as I angled my body away from him. Something wasn’t right, and I could feel it deep in my soul. If Mike woke up, and didn’t find me right beside him, I had no idea how he would react. He wasn’t a deep sleeper as such, and I had to be very careful about all of these. “You have to stay. We have a lot to talk about. You can’t keep running away from this if you know what is good for you.” I shook my head. “It’s even better if I leave this place, and go home where I belong. “Don’t be stupid, and I don’t have time for this. I need to know about those idiots, and when you will join the wolves.” I swung around to face him, and took note t
The candle burned into the night and pierced my heart as it roared faster in my eardrums. This wasn’t what I had been expecting when I sneaked back into the pack house. I focused more on the faces above the candlelight. The first person I saw was Jean. She stood in the midst of them like she had the power to control everything in her hands. Maybe, she did. Her eyes made me uneasy, they were cold, and sparkling with fire. I looked away as quickly as I looked at her. To her left was Mike, I could feel the anger emitting from him in spades. The darkness swarm around him, and his hair was wild. It wasn’t as a result of sleep, but more of finger running through his hair. I knew that because he was at it again. “What’s going on?” I asked gingerly. “Shouldn’t we be asking you that?” One of the men asked in a voice filled with barely conceived anger. I swallowed hard, and looked at Jean again. She had a smirk on her lips. Did they know the truth? The thought almost brought me to my
MOMENT’S AGO JEAN I can’t believe it. Oh, I definitely reviled in it. The stupid bitch called Maya has definitely made my job easier. It was so good I didn’t sleep like the other werewolves. A smile touched my lips as I watched her talk to the traitor, Marcus. Mike will never forgive her for this. He would kick her out and I will regain his place as his wife and mate. It was how it should be. He was just not focused for a time. It was normal for men. I ran through the forest, and back to the warehouse. I felt like dancing that my prey had fallen so easily into my trap. Maya hadn’t made me sweat at all, it was so easy. I laughed silently inti the darkness. I felt like screaming in joy, but I needed to be completely calm when I got to the warehouse, so none of the pack members would think I was lying against her. I knew how much they loved her. The gates of the warehouse was visible, I easily jumped over it using my werewolf attributes. The whole house was lit up. These pe
