Still Mavericks POVYou see, at first, I want paying much attention to what was going on in this room. I was coordinating with my scientist to get some work done before I cancel my deal with the Mackenzies. I want to take advantage of this deal before it goes sour, I’m pretty sure that their true nature will surface pretty soon, and this business collaboration will come to an end. But before that happens, I want my guys to make use of their lab at least for one day. I am pretty sure that they will find the missing component needed to complete that substance and make it potent enough to take down a lycan. We would make bullets out of it, and one bullet is all it would take to kill a lycan. I kept tapping endlessly on my phone, coordinating their mission. Cameron was trying to get her hands into my pants, but I was not in the mood for any of that. Actually, since I got scolded by Valerie, I think something in me broke, and now, I can’t seem to get it up for her anymore. She had accused
Valerie’s POVHow can he be so stubborn?Can’t he tell that I’m only trying to get him jealous, is he too stupid to see that I crave his attention?He just sits there and lets me fool around with Liam, while he tries to act as if he doesn’t care about my actions. I would never have taken this too far, but since he chose to be so damn stubborn, I might as well prove to him that two can play this game.These were my thoughts as I flirted with Liam and agreed to follow him home tonight. I know how much he wants this deal, and I know he won’t try to stop me, or so I thought anyways. It’s been one hell of a night, and I just can’t wait to lay on the bed with Liam lying next to me cuddling me as I tell him how pathetic my life has been since the day I was born. When he stood up and stretched his hand towards me in a bid to lead me out of this private suite and take me home, I gladly accepted his hand and let him lead me out the fucking door. I could feel them staring at me, for some weird
Liam’s POVI was not surprised when I saw her in Maverick's office, I had to fake it to make her believe that I wasn’t expecting to meet her here. The truth is, I know she works with him, and I know she lives in his apartment as well, I just pretended to be surprised because I need her to think that our meeting with each other after so many years was a coincidence, I want her to believe that I’ve been searching for her because I miss her. She has to pay for everything she has done for me and my family.You see, it’s been almost six years ago that I helped her flee the city with the hope that she would finally open her heart to me and love me unconditionally, just like I love her. But she ditched me and ran off, leaving me to face the aftermath of her rebellion. She never looked back at me, and not even once did she call to check up on me. If only she had said something to me that day, if only she had told me that she can never love me. Or let’s assume she could not tell me such a thin
Mavericks POVI watched everything, right from the beginning. I was so pissed when she agreed to go home with him, I know it's all my fault, but I still couldn’t let her go. I acted tough when she was still in the room because I hoped she would change her mind. She tried so hard to get me to acknowledge her as my mate. I know she understands the risks, I know she is trying to be careful and she did not let her aura attract attention before masking it. But at the same time, I still need to be careful because I still don’t understand what is going on here. A part of me still thinks that she would come back to her senses and change her mind, but that never happened. When I ignored her and let her think that I’m not heating her in my head, she made up her mind and walked out with him, sighing and hissing as they left my private booth.“Are you really going to watch me walk away with another man, you don’t care if I let him fuck me all night?” she asked me, sighing weakly as she looked at
Still Mavericks POV“Do you think the belladonna is doing the job, why is she still walking, should we have used the Wolfsbane?” he asked, sounding curious and stupid at the same time. I recognize that plant he just mentioned. It is called belladonna, and it is a type of nightshade plant that is poisonous to werewolves and humans. Belladonna is a slow poison, and Val still has a chance to survive it. But if they had used wolfsbane on her, her chances so survival would have been next to none. Who are these people, and what are they up to? “Are you fucking insane, why would you suggest that, do you want her dead before we can extract her powers?Elaine said her powers would die with her, is that what you want, is that what we came here for, did we risk our lives and betray king Gerald just to get here and kill her?” A lady responded to him furiously, scolding and answering him at the same time.I don’t know who they are, there is no way I can get that information from their voices, but
Valerie’s POVI thought I was finally getting through to Liam, he was getting soft, and I can tell that there is still part of him that cares about me, and he is beginning to think twice about his actions. While I tried to talk some sense into him, I also tried to summon Malia to heal me faster so I can at least try to save myself because, from the look of it, I’m not sure anyone is coming to save me, at least not that bastard Maverick. There is no way in hell that he would deny our bond anymore, deep within my heart, I know that he is the one. When I first felt dizzy, when I thought I was dying, he is the only person I could think of.I know…Yeah, I know what you would say, You would think it is mere addiction or infatuation, but I know what I’m feeling. It’s the mating bond, I can feel it in my heart. He is all I think about, I feel so crazy about him, and in my most vulnerable moments, it’s him I seek. I always reach out to my mate when I’m scared, and when I do, it’s his face I a
Valerie’s POVI asked him not to kill her, I just can’t bear the thought of it. Her death would weigh me down, it will gnaw at my conscience and make me feel guilty for the rest of my life. I can’t have her blood on my hands, and I don’t want Maverick to be seen as a no later either. I don’t know if she had seen his face, but I’m sure he is used to handling situations such as this. He handled it pretty nicely when I dared him, so I’m pretty sure these crazy people won’t be any different.He turned to me in anger when I suggested that he let her go. I had to look him in the eyes and plead with him through our mind link, begging him not to cross that line. He scoffed at my words and threw her to the floor after knocking her out. I crawled to her to check if she was still breathing and he got pissed at my actions,“She is not dead, trust me I would know if she were. If I wanted her dead, I would have snapped her neck or ripped off her head. I’ve killed enough to last me a lifetime, I’m n
Still Valerie’s POVHe said he was going to tell me everything I wish to know, but this guy never gave me a chance to ask the question, first, he put me down on the seat and he helps me with my shoes, massaging and caressing me. The moment his hands touched my skin, I felt my whole body come alive. A fire tore through me, and the heat of his touch ignited a feeling that I never knew existed within me. His eyes turned dark as he caressed my thighs I gasp quietly as his fingers trail softly down my thighs, going high up to the door of my private area, grazing my pussy cheeks but never going further than that. He dropped his hands and replaced them with his lips, trailing soft, feathery kisses on my foot and going up to my thighs. I feel like I'm on a different planet altogether, a planet where Maverick is not the bull-headed, arrogant bastard that takes pleasure in hurting me and making me feel unloved.Who would have ever thought that he could be this loving and amazing? I know he ha
