ALEXIS’ POV It was two days after my big discussion with Hannah. She had finally left my side after taking out two off days just to be with me and ‘take care of me’. Her choice of words not mine. We’d talked about the pregnancy, eaten some good food which I always ended up puking, saw movies even if I always dozed off on her and then just had a really good time. My mood was lifted and I felt better. This was what was powering me up for the big decision I was going to take today. I was going to the doctor to get an abortion. Hannah already booked my session with one of the best Doctor’s in town. However, this particular hospital was actually a maternity hospital. I didn’t see how that would be a problem. It only made it evident that the doctor was skilled in cases of childbearing, pregnancy and abortion. After Hannah left for work, I got up and took a nice, long warm shower and then pulled my pale looking body into a white dress. Once again, I couldn’t bear to see the other colours
MAX’ POVI couldn’t contain my restlessness. Kyle Bowen was on his way to see me. I’d pressed him for news over the phone but he wouldn’t relent. Only saying that it was something we could discuss only when we saw. This was why he was coming to see me. I tried to do many things to calm myself. I drank some tea which Penelope brewed, stared out the window, tried to do some calculative work to numb my brain, tried meditating, tried counting backwards and forwards. Shit, I even tried listening to music but for reason, nothing was working. My mind was still jittery. Penelope must have sensed my anticipation because she sent Kyle Bowen in without calling me to ask if he should come in or not. Once again, Penelope got points for efficiency. Kyle smiled warmly at me as I shook his hands. We sat on the sofa in my office, still taking up the last positions we’d sat in the previous time he’d come to my office. I didn’t bother beating around the bush. “Tell me Kyle. What’s the update please?
ALEXIS’ POVI was on my way to dinner with John Rhodes and his beautiful family. I particularly had something to celebrate; for starters, Rhodes Co-operation was back in business with FunDeets under the clause that I would remain their sole contact in the deals. They’d also bought into my idea and were going to do things like I’d said. Secondly, I was going to dine with the awesome John Rhodes and his family! I’d made an acquaintance with a multibillionaire. That was awesome. I was particularly looking forward to meeting his daughter who from her photos reminded me of myself when I was younger. I pulled into a simple black gate and was scared for a moment that I’d gotten lost. However, GPS said I was on track with the address I’d typed into it. The gate pulled open and I drove in. A smiling security man waved me in and I was amazed at the simplicity of John Rhodes’ house. I don’t know what I was expecting but whatever I was expecting did not measure up at all to what I was staring a
MAX’S POVAfter, I morphed back to my human form; I located my car and I realized that it was very late at night. Yes, I could still drive back to my house but for some reason, I didn’t want to. I drove lazily around on the dirt road that led out of the forest before I saw a hotel close by. I decided to spend the night in it. Interestingly, the name of the hotel was Selene’s Stay. The proximity to the woods and the strange name made me confident it was built by a werewolf. Why else would anyone build a magnificent hotel, a little out of town and with the name of their goddess? Except the person wasn’t a werewolf. This made me a bit confident about spending the night at the hotel. I’d definitely have to meet its owner soon and gain some insights of why they chose to own such a hotel. I handed my keys over to the valet and walked in. The receptionist was a striking woman with a face that made it hard to place her age and she had white, silver hair. I smiled. This hotel definitely ree
ALEXIS' POVMaxwell Moon. That was His name and he asked me to dinner. Just only two hours after we'd met, he called and asked me to meet him for dinner. Then he offered to come pick me up to which I declined. I was still grippling with the events of the previous night, the strange dream that I'd had and the many emotions that came with meeting him again. It was almost too much to bear. I'd driven home, taken a shower and then crawled into bed while staring at the ceiling. I'd wanted so badly to talk to someone but couldn't bring myself to call Hannah. She'd sent me a text, she wouldn't be coming home for the night and the next few days. She'd gone on an unplanned trip with her boyfriend. So, I was all alone in my mystery. Girlfriends over boyfriend was clearly something not in Hannah's dictionary. I didn't even bother to give her a call. She was probably shagging her boyfriend somewhere. I'd get the full details once she got home. When it was 6pm, I crawled out of bed, feeling ver
Max's POV"Oh, Maxwell."I couldn't get the way she had spoken my name out of my mind. I kept replaying her small, kissable lips over and over again in my head saying my name. Then the entire event of the evening played in my head too. Alexis Diaz was as beautiful if not more than a flower petal but also as delicate. All of her actions spoke to the wolf in me and all I wanted to do was to protect her, to shield her from all the troubles in the world and hold her safely in my arms. She awoke instincts in me that I didn't even know I possessed. I had surprised myself, proposing marriage to her in the spot. Yet, after finding her, I couldn't imagine living without her for even a single day. What was even more surprising was my growing suspicion that she had no idea she was a werewolf. How was that even possible? How had she stayed human all these years? What pack did she come from? Who were her parents? I stopped my thoughts. Those questions could wait. What was important right now was
MAX’S POVAs I drove to my apartment, I kept glancing over at Alexis by my side. She was seated daintily on the seat and dozing beautifully. She’d fallen asleep almost immediately she got into the car. The bruise in her face stood out starkly against her pale skin. I felt terribly guilty. Who were those guys? I’d never seen them before and they had mentioned my Dad. Plus the weapons they’d use were laced with silver. This means they knew that I was a werewolf. I couldn’t imagine anyone having a personal vendetta against me or my dad enough to come after us this wayMy Dad was long dead and his personality wasn’t one to actually do anything to hurt anyone. Our business has run smoothly on transparency, honesty and hard work. This was what we were known for. This was the legacy I had inherited. I was troubled by this event, more than I was letting on. Especially now that innocent Alexis and our baby were now in the picture. I needed to get them back home, out of this town, to the safet
MAX’ POVSometimes, it took a while for me to believe the turn of events of the past weekend. One moment, I am neck deep in frustration about my inability to find my mate and the next; she’s spending the night at my house. It seemed surreal, all too good to be true. After the events of the previous night, Alexis had slept for nine hours straight. I had lane in bed with her for seven hours, just staring at her and keeping watch over her. Her ethereal beauty had pulled me in and kept me glued to her side; plus her petite and fragile frame woke something deep within me that increased my devotion to protect her. I’d gotten up to take a bath, change clothes and then prepare some food for her. I had taken the liberty of preparing dinner and not my caterer. Like I said, Alexis awoke something deep in me that I didn’t even know existed. The fact that she had needed nine hours to recover spoke about her nature. She was more human than wolf. It made me even doubt that she was wolf but her sm
