Chapter 18 First Timer"I feel so bored, this assignment seem like the hardest thing I have ever come across in my whole life." Asher whined hitting the pen he was using on the floor."Stop complaining Asher and just keep up with the work." Mia rebuked him."How am I supposed to anyway when you distract me." He lowered his voice pulling her legs.“Let me go, Asher!” She kicked his hands. They were sprawled out in the Duckstein’s living room after deciding it was the best space to do the assignment given to them. They had been asked to sketch a resort and with details of how it would be structured. A core course for Asher and a borrowed course for Mia and she had offered to help him out. But instead of working, all Asher did was complain and make Mia do most of the work."You aren't doing anything at all, I have been the one up and about. I won't be doing your assignments or projects for you anymore, Asher. Don't even think about it." She warned him with a stern look on her expression
Chapter 19 They are official"Tell me everything from top to bottom and don't leave anything out!” Cheryl couldn't wait for Mia to get back. She had been sitting in her room awaiting her return anxiously."Would you calm your horses young lady and give me a chance to breath." Mia replied."You are a killjoy! I hope you know that." She whined."You are just too nosy, that's it." Mia replied with a shrug."So that's how it is now? After everything I taught you, you traitor!” Cheryl faked crying as she dropped on the bed."Anybody told you, you are a really bad actor.""Wouldn't know if no one gives me a chance. Just tell me already, how was it?!” She giggled."Fine! It was the best night of my life." She blushed, reminiscing on the memory. “He was gentle, his touch was fire and I wished for it not to end.""Oh my God, I feel so damn horny!" Cheryl groaned.Mia stared at her like a weirdo. “Are you serious right now? You are horny? It's not porn woman!""Could as well be an oral porn pre
Chapter 20 Cold handsCatty gulped down the whiskey in anger, she was boiling. What was it that Mia had which she didn't? She couldn't explain why Asher wouldn’t just choose her over Mia! She poured herself two more cups downing them all at once. "Let's go Bryan. Where are my keys?" She asked staring at him.Bryan rolled his eyes. “Where are we going again?”“I can’t let this slide! No one chooses a low life over me! Mia is bitch that needs to be dealt with!” She screamed at him.Bryan raised his hands up in surrender. "Alright. Let me drive Catty, you are drunk.” Even though he knew cajoling her wasn't going to work but he needed to try."I would drive and you would come with me, is that clear!" She barked, her voice sounding unladylike."Ok." He replied meekly.Catherine drove down the road wobbling all the way. Bryan held on to the car handle like his life depended on it. She parked two houses away from the M&A Pastries and Coffee. Bryan wondered what she was doing there, just th
Chapter 21 Into the futureFEW YEARS LATERMia stared at her whole family beaming with joy. It has been three years since the accident. She was told to have woken up from coma after two months. During that period, Asher had stayed all through and he even went ahead to reject a proposal in California for the resort plan he had drawn, saying he wouldn't leave her not caring what it had in it for him. No one could convince him to go and he had stayed till she had regained consciousness.Asher covered for everything she missed in school and she had to make use of crutches to get better after coming out of coma. Her friends Adam and Cheryl weren't left out in taking care of her as they made it easy for Arabella and aunt Harriet to get back to work with ease. Asher’s parents out of their busy schedule, ensured to show up once in a while during her recovery. They tried finding who had hit her but came up with no result as no one saw the plate number or neither was there a nearby CCTV cameras
Chapter 22 The Discovery The days flew past and it was just few hours to the big day. Mia felt unsteady and something kept creeping at her skin. She had retired to bed since past nine after Cheryl had left the house but she couldn't sleep. Her mother had just left her room, they had held on to each other for about an hour and she had been dozing off before she left the room but as soon as the door clicked shut she was up again. Mia checked the time, it was almost past eleven. It must be anxiety, she thought to herself. The day break would mark a new beginning in her life and Mia wasn't so sure if she was ready or not. Mia felt uneasy as she poured herself a glass of water and she chugged it down her throat in a hurry. She tried to rest again but it felt really painful. Her bones acted like they would rip her skin out. Soon she got out of the bed, sweating profusely and her whole body ached in every joint. Her first thought was to call Asher but she didn't want to bother him. Steppi
Chapter 23 A New LifeAsher stared blankly, his food laid cold in front of him. He hadn't said a word for two days since the news of Mia disappearing. His parents feared he might have a mental breakdown. They had tried searching round town but she couldn’t be found. Due to the letter she dropped, they could not report to the police as a missing person.Fred sighed heavily as he held on to his son's shoulder. “Get a grip on yourself son."Asher didn't reply for a long time as he let the silence stretched between them. "I want my woman back. I want my Mia back." He mumbled."We couldn't find her anywhere." His father responded."Then hire a private investigator to do it! She must be somewhere!” He yelled. “If nothing is done I would take matters into my own hands, I promise."If anyone thought Asher was going to sit all day doing nothing to know about Mia's whereabout, then they had something else coming. He had made up his mind to go to any mile to ensure she was found and he was only
Chapter 24 Father and DaughterSomething didn't feel right, Mia could swear someone's gaze was all over her and part of her felt connected to whoever it was."Are you okay, Mia?" Phillip, her co-worker asked, as he placed an order in her tray while noticing her inconvenience.Mia waved him off as she picked up the tray. "Oh don't mind me…Phillip. I am good. Just ignore."The table Mia was meant to serve only had one person occupying the space and the order made looked like it was meant for at least three people. The man sitting did look very fit but she doubted if he was the one about to consume so much food.Liam stared at her as she walked towards him, his heart went out to her and he could smell her wolf scent from afar. Her beauty is a total distraction. Since he walked in, her scent caught his nostrils and he hasn't been able to take his eyes off her. If she was a werewolf as his inner mind claims, there was no way she wouldn't have taken note of his stares and even know about hi
Chapter 25 The perfect unionMia would never have thought she would meet someone who was in the same predicament as she was; she had always thought only her had such weird makeup, half human and half wolf.That night Liam had come onto her because he was just as surprised as she was and wanted to satisfy his curiosity. At least he was bold enough to walk up to her exposing himself when he wasn't certain yet. She would have never attempted such if she had been the one. They had gotten closer since that night, he came down to the restaurant most times waiting till she got done with her work. It had been agreed between them that they wouldn't ask about their past and how they got inflicted. The idea had been brought by Mia cause she still wasn't sure about trusting Liam. Her cautiousness had made her refuse to share her address or ask for his, they had only shared contacts and called one another whenever they thought to see. Their relation was comfortable and it made her feel safe. Liam
