Rub salt into the wound. That's the term Maxine should have said to herself. Her emaciated body plunged onto the green expanse that became the front door of Hillcester University, after being hit hard in the stomach by one of the tall women, one of the many people who often bullied her.A Security Guard approached her and cursed her for stepping on the grass which obviously should not be stepped on by anyone. In a hurry, Maxine forced her body to rise — stand up then run before the officer approached while storming her with various words cursing.With a slow step, Maxine forced both her legs to run down one long hallway with sturdy posts on the left-right towards the only study room in the University building. Looking for her younger brother: Liam, who used to spend the rest of his hours at the venue with his books.
"So, you're the one who's been harassing her all this time, Mary?"Instead of answering, Mary chose to lower her head and make a play, as if the place was the stage for her. He even forced his eyes to shed unnecessary tears, as if crying.Leo and Ivan sprayed his eyeballs, then stayed away —letting Maxim end things he hadn't even had time to start yet. Not to forget, they brought Sidney along.Maxim rubbed his face with a rough sweep while exhaling his rough breath. Upset? Of course. Confused? Absolutely. He didn't even say anything that hurt Mary's heart, well, maybe Maxim's map sounded cornering. But really, Maxim didn't mean it that way.Now, inevitably he has to seduce Mary. He smiled, even if he didn't want to do it. But as a man, and as the one who had given
"Adorable." Maxim thought.Although Maxim almost often saw Maxine passing by in front of him while in the University, they came face to face, without the presence of others. Just the two of them, in the midst of a lot of fast-food restaurants. No Mary, Leo, Ivan, nor Sidney were everywhere Maxim went.In between moments stealing his gaze on Maxine, Leo, and Ivan who have just entered the Restaurant capture clearly how Maxim stared at Maxine."Is he trying to cheat?" Leo becomes the first to speak out when he decides to approach the table, where Maxim enjoys his burger.Leo and Ivan fill the empty bench in front of Maxim. Worried about being misunderstood, Maxim immediately shifted his attention, to his two best friends who were looking at him suspiciously.
They don't know what Maxim was going to do to them, which was clear, he looked very ready to attack. "SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THAT!" Mary and Sidney howled, then ran off the mount —avoiding Maxim who from both points of view was about to lunge to the place where they were. Instead of attacking, Maxim lunged at the vampire who was trying to finish off Maxine whose clothes were almost torn, snagged twigs, and various pointed objects strewn on the ground. Now Maxim is struggling against the vampire when Maxine manages to escape —hiding behind Maxim's sturdy back. She was unconscious. Hang on. I'll finish him, then take you home. As per his words, Maxim managed to finish off the vampire —tearing his ice-cold body, then throwing it on the flames that Ivan also Leo deliberately made. "I'll take her home," Maxim exclaimed, as he managed to put on full clothes. Swiftly, Maxim grabbed Leo's hoodie lying on the ground, then he used it to wrap around Maxine's body. Leo clucked to see his be
Maxine draped her shoulders, then threw a smile, and replied, "I don't know, ma'am. I... Don't remember anything about it. All I remember is... I was on my way home from Fish and Chip Restaurant."Daniela and Liam seemed disappointed to hear about it. It seems like they're expecting another version of Maxine's story."Let's just say that everything he was just said are the truth." insisted Maxine.The girl got up from where she was sitting, then went into the bathroom —taking off all the clothes that wrapped her body, including a hoodie belonging to a stranger.The next split second Maxine opened the door a little, holding out the thick navy hoodie, shouting her brother's name, asking him to put these hoodies in the washing machine. She has to return that to his ow
"I think I needed some space, Mary." Maxim shook his head, then fixed his sentences, what he said earlier. "We need some spaces." After that Maxim moved on, leaving Mary alone there. Hurriedly, Maxim walked ahead of Maxine who was stopping to tie her shoelaces. The man looked so angry, clearly visible from the way he stepped, and his swinging hands seemed to clench strongly. From behind her back, Maxine heard two voices calling out to Maxim. But the owner of the name did not care about the series of calls. He continued to step, leaving the building, straight to the place where he parked his motorcycle. Maxine got up from where she was squatting after finishing neatly tying her shoelaces. At the same time, Ivan and Leo approached her with a curious look. All Maxine did in return was just stare at the two with a fl
The girl hurriedly turned her face away from Maxim. However, they do not need to interact, even exchange glare like humans in general. "Sorry," Maxim said quietly. Both of them looked at the waves that were pounding under each other's feet. Nothing was done by Maxim and Maxine, other than sinking into each other's minds. But Maxine becomes the only one who is disturbed by some things that disturb her during the trip. A handful of Mary's complaints. For the first time in her life, Maxine feels guilty for what she didn't really do. Maxine took a deep breath, before then turning to her right side, staring at Maxim and voicing something disturbing her. "If... If only you're avoiding someone, or maybe everyone... At least, don't turn off your phone. My ears almost bleed c

"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
