Daniela and Jase went quiet at the same time. The two turned their backs on each other, forcing their sons and daughters to leave without saying anything. Even Maxine and Maxine no longer press their parents for answers, as if they don't want to bring up subject matters that their parents may have long kept hidden.
"What did you mean by what you said before, Mom?"
Although her tone was slow, she emphasized each syllable she had just spoken. Because of this, Daniela and Liam both came to a halt and placed their feet on the number seven stairs from the bottom.
Daniela took a deep breath, too tired to explain all the complexities she was already trying to conceal for the past few years. She wasn't ready to tell her eldest daughter everything. Daniela did nothing else but stare at her daughter, who was standing in the m
Early in the morning, Maxim entered his sister's room after knocking and getting permission to enter. Intentionally doing so while both parents were still asleep. He didn't want their conversation to be known to their mother and father.He didn't want them to be suspicious or one day, one of them force Lisa to be able to say all the chatter to them, even though they knew Maxim was close and often stayed overnight and even chatted with her brother last night. Jase and Marta have always suspected all the unusual intimacy that their sons and daughters have in unusual times.Lisa repeatedly yawned while rubbing both eyes as Maxim lay on her right side in full clothes, even his hair still looked a bit wet, like he had just shampooed and combed his hair carelessly in a hurry."Hey, boy! Did something happen last nig
Although the summer vacation is still one week away, the University is reducing students' vacation time by requiring all students, not just those with poor grades, to attend special classes. Although the explanation stinks, nearly 80% of pupils are relieved that the faster teaching and learning time is not going as intended. They are becoming dissatisfied with their daily routines, which are all occurring during the holiday season.People crowded the long hallway flanked by high lockers on the right and left sides, talking about the hot gossip that had recently spread throughout Hillcester. Concerning Maxine, who is said to tease Maxim. They have no idea who spread the stupid news or who started it, but Maxine sounds like a cunning temptress who can seduce any man's boyfriend.Mary and Sidney were on their way to the laboratory building when they decided to go
"I'm not sure what you're talking about, Mary," Maxine replied.The girl was completely perplexed by what Mary was saying. Winning for snatching Maxim away from her? She is unconcerned about everyone's assumptions. Mary's speech, which sounded like a speech she accidentally revealed, was all that managed to capture all of her attention at this time.That particular day? Allow her to die? What does Mary mean when she says the day her father died? A barrage of questions swirled inside her head like an endless labyrinth.Mary chose to ignore Maxine's comments rather than respond. Allow the girl to wonder as a result of her carelessness. Mary approached with her head down, smacking her lips and cursing angrily. Maxim approached Maxine from the opposite direction, who was still preoccupied with various questions that had
Maxine entered the wrong class, despite the fact that the door to the room was open as usual. All eyes were on her, astonished. However, not a single sentence was heard. Everyone was staring at her, including the lecturer, who was dressed in a variety of personal protective equipment.Unfortunately, Maxine was unable to leave the laboratory quickly because Maxim and his two best friends were still chatting at the door when she wanted to reapply her right thumb fingerprints to open the metal rectangle. She'll have to wait."If you want, you can join us today."The hoarse voice of the lecturer broke the awkwardness in the room. The middle-aged woman removed her glasses and mask, allowing Maxine to look directly at her caramel bead and soft smile wrapped in a fiery red lip.
"Anything you want to say?" Maxine asked directly after finishing the rest of her gelato.Maxim gave a nod. Instead of saying anything, he leaned in front of Maxine, sweeping the remaining gelato from the curve of her upper lip with his right thumb while staring into her green eyes.Maxine, who didn't think Maxim's existence was important at first, is now pounding. Her cheeks even blushed like Maxim's ears had earlier. Maxine even swallowed her saliva slowly, slowly rewinding her face away from Maxim's face."Are you pounding, Max?" inquired Maxim on the spur of the moment.Maxine's head shook. "N- no!" she exclaimed nervously.The girl then retreated, her spine raised and her gaze warily fixed on Maxim. "Can you tell me why
"Max, come on! You like him, don't you? "urged Liam, his face adorned with a flirtatious smile. Even the bluish-gray bead looked gleaming against Maxine's green eyes.Maxine shook her head awkwardly. "No. Don't make assumptions that aren't necessary."Maxine then hit Liam in the arm as they ended up sitting in a line on the sofa in the family room on the second floor. As is common, Maxine is tucked between Daniella and Liam."Look, Max," Liam said as he grabbed Maxine's shoulder and embraced her after stealing a kiss on her right cheek. "I'm happy if you're happy, but be extremely careful. Because I don't want you to be hurt by anything or anyone, including him."Daniella was oblivious to her two children's noises. She was busy searching for their favorite channels and s
"I have something to talk about. Come to Deep Hills now." insisted Maxim after his right ear heard Maxine's gentle greeting when the first ringer faded.He deliberately let the girl be curious by directly disconnecting the phone without saying anything, other than the words that became the main point when he decided to contact Maxine after giving a confession to Lisa, his sister, when he returned home and scattered into his sister's arms after coming to Maxine.Maxim didn't tell Lisa anything, he just spontaneously said, "I love everything about her," Maxim muttered as he sat in a row over Lisa who was flipping through magazines on her lap, on the edge of the mattress. "Even smelling the smell of her hair alone can make my heart feel warm and calm for a whole day."Lisa responded to her younger brother's spontaneous confession with a few words, as if she was indeed more experienced than him."In that case, you should immediately keep the scent to yourself, Max."
"Ssstt!" Maxim's unspoken speech was entirely silenced as Maxine shook her head. "Shouldn't you have returned my kiss right now?"Maxim said provocatively, "As you wish."Maxine gradually let go of her grasp on Maxim's jacket collar as she retreated, but Maxim smirked and grabbed the slim body of the girl in front of him with his right hand, bringing her closer—tightly until there was no more distance between them.Maxim gives her a gentle kiss. When he felt the same connections from the girl in his arms, Maxim gently crushed Maxine's cherry lips while flashing a faint smile. Maxim used to rub Maxine's neck with his free right hand, and he occasionally rubbed the girl's facial skin with his thumb in between their intense kisses.A few drops of water started to run
If only that little debate hadn't happened that day, perhaps by then Dalton would have been much more devastated. Heartache was overwhelming when he found out his best friend was planning something bad for him. On his family. On him. Especially Maxine. The child Jase secretly often calls a disgrace. The only child born to Alpha's mother and father, but unable to summon the wolf inside her. She, Maxine Kelly, is wolfless."Do you know, if Dalton’s daughter can destroy our people one day?" Suzane opens up the main topic—the main purpose of her calling Jase into a closed-door meeting that she deliberately holds along with Johny Smith and Drew Logan—The Alphas who master white Gorge; a region that the lower-middle-class werewolves could not touch.Feeling the same spiteful envy towards Dalton Kelly, Suzane Young and Jackson Young deliberately gathered people who had the same vision and mission as them. Destroying Dalton Kelly, as well as eliminating Maxine; the only wolfless living in the
"What does Mrs. Park have to do with all this?" Maxine frowned for the umpteenth time."I must break your memory barrier," said the pale white woman with a line of smiles adorning her face, as Maxine and Maxim looked up in unison —looking at her.Ivan and Leo shifted. Lisa rejoined the two men, giving Mrs. Park free space."Excuse me?" said Mrs. Park, as she was about to put down her palm, touching one side of Maxine and Maxim's face."Close your eyes. Let all those memories come back to both of you. Don't fight anything you guys feel." Mrs. Park continued.Maxine and Maxim gave the same nod. Agree. The two closed their eyes after getting the order from Mrs. Park. In the early minutes, Maxim and Maxine looked relaxed. But in the following few minutes, the two of them were even crying with sweat pouring on both sides of each other's faces.Maxine and Maxim are brought into their memories—their childhood. To them, the atmosphere they were watching at this time seemed familiar. They even
"Indeed, what are you feeling?" asked Maxine without turning her head in the slightest. She lowered her head even more."I like you.""Hm?" Maxine nodded slowly."I love you..."Maxine slowly raised her gaze, staring into the alpha's green bead while slowly pressing out a gentle smile. "I know..." softly."Just like that? Your answer?" Maxim raised his eyebrows, looking at Maxine with indecisive feelings and curious.Maxine knew the meaning of the gaze. Soon she approached, then briefly pecked Maxim's full lips with a smile. "Now you're mine," Maxine whispered softly. "You should have known what my statement meant.""Come here." Maxim whispered back.Maxine approached, then pressed her lips against Maxim's. She sucks it up, giving all the intimacy that the alpha craves. Allowing herself to sink and drift along with the hundreds of butterflies that filled her stomach.I love you too, Max. you know that. Maxine said silently in her heart.A few days later, Maxim and Maxine returned to H
Maxine rubbed her face with a rough sweep. At least She regretted what She had said to Jace Stone. She rubbed her face again as she walked towards the bathroom, looking at the reflection of herself in the sink mirror.Maxine laughed bitterly. "Sorry, Mr. Stone. I can't let go of your son," she repeated her words last night.She laughed again with a soft shake when she remembered the fact that it was this sentence that made Jace Stone order the vampires to tear the clothes she was wearing, even though some of them were ordered to hurt her, and fortunately, none of the vampires managed to hurt her, because every time the wound appeared it would be tight again as soon as it appeared.After performing a series of rituals of self-appeasement; Meditating and imagining the good things that had previously happened to her, Maxine returned to the room, chose a variety of clothes that Maxim bought for her and put on one of them, and then ate a few pieces of sandwiches that Maxim also bought for
"I expected it," the woman hissed quietly, almost in hushed tones, her gray bead staring at Maxine, who was sleeping in Maxim's sling. "It turned out that this kind of thing did happen again."When he heard this, Maxim frowned and turned his head, curiously looking at the woman. "Did it happen again?"The woman turned her head, putting on a clumsy smile to conceal the carelessness she had just displayed. "No way. There is nothing, "she exclaimed, a little excitedly. "Please ignore me. I'm just messing around because I'm too tired to do anything else."Maxim nodded, hesitant to believe the woman's words. "Go home if you're tired, madam," Maxim suggested, his face as tired as the woman who said she was exhausted. "Have your working hours just begun?"The woman shook her head. "I'll go home after dropping you guys off."Maxim nodded. He stepped out of the elevator when it came to a halt and the door to the second floor opened. "We're going to pick this floor, madam," Maxim said as he exi
"Where's Maxine?" Ivan swept his gaze around when he couldn't find the figure of the girl on any side.Maxim and Leo suddenly turned their heads, combing the entire side of the forest around them with each other's eyes. Maxine wasn't there, not even their only herd remaining. The only ones surviving the vampire attacks had disappeared. But not long after, as if giving them an answer, Maxine's screams and the loud howls of their herd in the distance were heard.The three youths rushed to light the fire and rushed to follow the source of the sound after witnessing the corpses of their herd being devoured by the flames. Together with Ivan and Leo, Maxim howled, signaling to Maxine that they were going to catch up and save her.Could it be, that what dad promised them was Maxine? Maxim thought worriedly. Maxine's soul?
"Is that my father?" Lisa asked Liam curiously.Liam was about to answer, but Daniella's voice made his mouth close again. He didn't know when Daniella stood behind his high back. As soon as he heard his mother's voice, Liam followed Maxim and Maxine out of the way, then made a way for Daniella to approach the eldest daughter of the Stone family."Not your father," said Daniella, smiling a small smile.Lisa nodded. She then looked at Maxine, Maxim, and Liam alternately. "Could you guys come out for a bit?" she asked softly. "I need to speak to Mrs. Kelly. Just the two of us. "The three nodded obediently, quickly leaving the room, and Maxine was the last one in there, quickly closing the door. Leaving Lisa and her mother in the same room, wanting to talk about something.
"It's a family thing, mom," Maxine interceded. It seemed that she knew what happened, even though she felt that she was the cause of what happened to Lisa. "Please just treat her right."Danielle was tight-lipped. She hurried to clean the wound on Lisa's back carefully after Liam came to bring a bowl of warm water and a small towel. Lisa grimaced, she even squeezed Maxim's hand while closing her eyes.While Liam approached Maxine who chose to look at the golden color that dominated the sky from behind the window of her room facing the balcony, deliberately turning her face away from the Stone siblings."Hey?" said Liam for the first time. "I'm sorry."Maxine nodded without turning her head. "Forget it, Liam. It's not a big deal."
"Moon Goddess has stepped in, Stone," said the woman called Mrs. Park in a whisper that was as firm as Jase's. "You can't separate them anymore, even after you've eliminated Dalton Kelly.""Shut your mouth tight if you don't want my packs to destroy this place when you're caught off guard," Jase threatened before he then headed to the table where his son and the wolfless girl were."Maxim Stone," Jase said in a heavy hoarse voice. "Come with me.""Let me take her home, dad."Maxim then got up from where he was sitting, then approached Maxine while stretching out his right hand. "After you," he whispered softly.Maxine almost reached Maxim's helping hand, unfortunately, Jase first brushed the hand from her face while looking a
