MIKE It’s been two days, and I feel much better now. I was ready to fight and win. I was ready to destroy the evil doers. I was ready to take up what was left in store of my destiny. I haven’t completely come to terms with the fact that I wouldn’t be able to see my parents anymore, but I placed what happened with Maya at the back of my mind. It was better off locked there, never to show its ugly head again. Adam had sent someone to call me to the back of the warehouse. It was urgent and my attention was needed. I was sad that my best-friend was avoiding me these days. Though, since Maya stepped into my life, I had not had the time to mingle and interact with them as we used to, but it had grown much worse these past few days. I had a feeling that Adam didn’t trust anything that I did anymore. The way he looked at me most times, made me weep in my heart. I had no idea how I was going to regain out lost friendship. No matter what happened, he was my friend and I held him dear to m
MAYA I was alone again. Ian had told me he wanted to get a few things. I had no idea what those things were and somehow, I didn’t want to know. I was already scared because of all that was happening, and I didn’t want to make things worse for myself. I needed some sort of peace till I was able to make head or tail of the situation. I kept the hooker down on the centre table, and rose to my feet. As much as Ian had made me feel like there was nothing to be scared of, I still had my doubts. I didn’t want to have one, but I did. Ian was super strange, and such a scary man. I tried my best to pretend that I was comfortable around him, but the truth was that he definitely made me nervous. And, the house? The house wasn’t making me feel better. Ir was isolated and had an odd vibe to it. Ian temper was like the house. I didn’t know what to expect out of it. I sighed in frustration. I would not have been in this situation if Mike listened to me. The man didn’t even want to hear a wo
MIKE This is exactly what I had feared. We were doomed from the onset. Licking my lips slightly, I tried to turn, only for me to be shoved aside harshly by James as he pounded on the man. I turned towards the sound in shock. James had the hunter by the throat, and in one swipe, he snapped the neck like it was nothing. “Oh, God!” One of the boys said in shock. How was he so observant and in touch with the surroundings? It was shocking, and weird, and as I watched him pull the dead body towards the basement, I couldn’t help but worry. I had no idea why I was so pessimistic, but I think it came from the fact that Maya had betrayed me so deeply. It was now hard to trust. “Mike, that guy is something else.” Tony said. I nodded. “Be quiet. He might hear you,” I said stiffly. I had no idea the level of power that James had. James was proving that he wasn’t in our league, and his power was so extensive and mind-blowing. It only made the situation dicey. Maybe, if we are able to ge
MIKE I stared in shock as the case unfolded before me. There were four hunter 5meters from where we stood. They were laughing and having mad fun with each other. I gritted teeth as I looked at them. The way I saw them, they were a magnet for trouble. “We have to be very careful now,” James was saying. I nodded. “No unnecessary discussions till we succeed in getting out of her alive. Any slight noise would put us in big trouble. I...” James turned to me with a glare, and I bit down on my lips. Though, he had no right to look at me like that, but I was also aware that I was actually talking too much. I sighed inwardly as I took my gaze from him, and to the men. “Come on, boys. We have to get out of here,” I said calmly, We made sure to stay close to the walls, and then, slowly made our way out of there. We were four steps in when suddenly, one of the boys tripped on his own foot, falling flat on his face. I stood still in shock. The fuck made him fall now? Oh! Moon godd
IAN I watched as she fidgeted. It was obvious that she didn’t know what to say and was thinking about a lie. This made me smile inwardly. The more she thought I was in the dark about all that was going on, the better it was going to be for me. “Tell me, Maya,” I said softly. She sighed without looking at me. “The thing is, staying here has been a bit depressing for me. I keep thinking of everything that is wrong in my life. When you left, I didn’t have any form of distraction. So, I guess everything got more heightened. Yes, that should be it,” she said calmly. I sighed as I placed a hand on her shoulders. “It’s going to be fine, Maya. I understand that all these must be difficult for you, and since you’re not from here, it would definitely be a nightmare. I will suggest you take a nap or try to call home. A mother’s voice might be just what you need to get over the worst of it,” I said softly, kneading the side of her shoulders. She licked her dry lips. “I don’t want to cal
IAN There was a slight tension as we sat down on the dinning table. I knew the excuse she gave me earlier was wrong, and I decided to act like I knew that without giving too much away. Maya wasn’t eaten at all, she was simply picking at her food. The short nap she had, had not helped her case at all. So, she was back to her morose self. “Maya,” I said easily. She looked shocked as her eyes flickered up to me. It was like she had not been expect me to call her or ask her anything. I tried to smile sadly at her, even though my main intention was to act like a supportive friend that I wasn’t. “Ian, I…” she started, only to break off at the end. I placed my fork down. “I don’t know, but I don’t think you’re in this mood only because you were sad about the situation you are in. While I left, I have a strong feeling that something happened over here, and that is why you’re in this mood. Please, tell me the truth,” I said softly. She sniffed as she looked down on her
I was outside of the compound, and there were just two guards with me as I paced the length and breadth of the compound. I couldn’t understand why any of these were happening to me, but one thing was for sure, I was going to make the werewolves pay. I hated them so much. I hated the fact that they were actually creatures. They didn’t deserve to be in existence after killing my son! They deserved to rot completely and surely. I was never going to forgive them for what they had done to me, and I would make sure that they remembered everything they had done to me so far. I hated everything about them to the core of me, and that would never change. The guards were looking at the fate when I turned my attention to them. I wondered what they were good at. They couldn’t even figure out that there had been an invasion. They were definitely good for nothing, and that was saying something. “I don’t know why you’re a part of us if you can’t work steadfastly,” I grumbled. The guards low
MIKE I watched James closely, and tried as hard as I could dispel the feeling of doubt that thickened my stomach. But, it wasn’t enough. I needed answers to some of the questions that had risen up in my head. I slowly massaged my wrists as I wondered if James could read my mind. I don’t know why I had that sudden thought. “I know you didn’t just come here to sit beside me,” James said dryly. Was I correct? Had he read my mind? No, that was not possible. There was no way he was going to read my mind in this situation. No freaking way! If he could, he wouldn’t ask me that question knowing fully well. That he would be exposing himself in the process. “I do really want to ask you a few things,” I said at last. He turned to me then, his expression morose. “I will answer your questions, but before that, I want to apologise” I frowned slightly. “For what?” He shrugged. “I have been the worst partner during our mission. I never listened to your view on things. You brought me ove
