After all, I am the kind of best friend who is secretly in love with her.” Maxine’s eyes widened after hearing an unexpected confession from her best friend. ‘He is what?!’ she gasped inwardly. Her mouth parted but she couldn’t utter anything. Her heart didn't stop but her body felt it did. No voice can go out of her throat and her lungs held the oxygen a little too long before she could push the warm air out. 'Maybe I heard it wrong. Yes. I heard him wrong,' She repeated in her mind again and again. For years, she believed that the two of them have already broken the stereotype that friends of the opposite gender will tend to fall in love with each other. So why? What's with this sudden confession? And why did he do it in front of everyone?! Maxine wanted to cover her face or just vanished into thin air. If Adler is only joking, she would hit him hard so that he cannot speak again. But Maxine wasn’t the only one who was damn shocked. Even Ned was on the verge of shouting an
“Yes, Sir. She is mine."Adam and Chandler looked at Brett, who proclaimed Maxine as his possession. They were used to this. But somehow, Brett’s acting was strange. Because it sounds more real than the last time.Lawrence stared at Brett’s hand on Maxine’s waist. When his eyes met Brett’s gaze, he said, “Miss Maxine must be a wonderful lady.”Maxine removed Brett’s hand from her and responded, “Thank you for the praise, Sir. It is a privilege to receive a compliment from someone like you. So, the next time you come here, drinks are on the house.”The three Alphas, and also businessmen, looked at her in unison. They all wonder how she learned this business tactic.“That is the same thing as asking me to be your loyal customer. Right?” Lawrence asked with a chuckle.Maxine giggled while nodding her head. “Yes, Sir. You could consider it a bribe to ask you to invest in my boyfriend and in my friend’s business too.” She looked at Adam and Brett, then smiled at Lawrence. “We can talk abou
Maxine’s POV Brett pushed me inside an office. I guess it is mine. ‘Funny enough. I suddenly had an office on my own.’ “Your office smells like coffee,” he mumbled as he pushed me with his hands on my shoulder. I skimmed my eyes around. It looks like a typical office with a comfortable chair in the corner, laptop on the wooden table, pocket calculator, book cases, file cabinets, telephone line, business cards, overhead and work lighting, couch for the client seats, center table, plants in pots, recycle bin, alarm system, fire extinguisher and first aid kit. “But there’s something missing,” Brett murmured. I tilted my head at him while wondering what was missing. “Why is there no picture of you hanging on the wall?” Despite everything that happened before this, I burst a crackle of laugh. I hate to admit how funny his joke was. 'My picture in my office? That's hilarious. Only celebrities do that.' “Do you love the idea of hanging your nude picture?” He whispered on my ear
When Chandler announced that he will go to Brazil alone with Maxine, Adam and Brett gawked at him in disarray. “Why just the two of you? We can go there together. It’s dangerous,” a disagreed opinion of Adam followed by Brett’s another opposition.“If you are searching for Maxine's missing friend, you should bring the two of us together!” He then swings his finger towards himself and to the first guy who disagreed. Even Maxine was confused of this uncanny decision. She feels a little relieve to hear that Chandler finally foumd a clue regarding to her friend’s whereabouts. But going just the two of them? ‘Isn’t that too risky?’ she thought. For a perfectionist and strong Alpha like Chandler, will he make a decision that will put them in danger?Back at the Lozano’s party, even a genius man like him had almost died by working alone. Thus it isn't questionable for everyone to double-check his strategy beforehand.“I was planning to go with everyone, but the plan changed,” Chandler ut
Dwight kept on thinking why his fake sister and Chandler had to go to Brazil.People said that curiosity can kill. In Dwight’s case, he thinks it is true. If he only was able to listen to their conversation before they found his audio bug, he could had heard everything they said before Chandler told everyone that he and Maxine will go to Brazil. But such 'what if' won't help anymore. The only way is to ask them directly.'As if they'll share it. Tsss,’ Dwight thought as he clicked his tongue.“Ma’am, this coffee beans company contacted us this morning. They are proposing if they can supply to your shop," the female employee reported to Maxine, who was also at the counter.When the three Alphas left the shop, Dwight and Maxine were only the only left in the shop. It’s not been that long that this shop was packed with many male customers before.Among those men, Dwight guessed that he is the solely survivor. He wasn’t sure the category of this game, though.‘Men and Beast around Maxine’
Brett and his sister sat across Vincent with a table in between. They are staring at each other as if someone with the courage to start a conversation will come up sooner or later. On the other side, Vincent’s three Deltas were standing behind the Alpha’s back. Joel rolled his eyes. Edgar glared at the siblings. Meanwhile, Hunter was smiling because he thinks Vincent looks handsome today than yesterday. This is the first time that someone from WayHoRix have visited Vincent’s house. And just like what Vincent felt when he came to that party, Brett and Chocolate also felt no warmth inside the Alpha of Den’s house. “Why are you here?”Vincent asked in slow pace, savoring each letter he uttered to the Holmes siblings. Before answering, Chocolate looked at her older brother. Receiving gesture through their eyes, Chocolate spoke. "Am I not allowed to visit my future mate?" Both sides replied strong disagreements to this topic. Brett furrowed his brows, Vincent’s mouth slightly opene
Maxine’s POV When I opened my eyes, the plane already stopped moving. This is the first time I felt glad being on the land again.‘How many hours have passed by?’ I stretched my hands forward then sideward, groaning as if I'm enduring the pain from brutal punishments. When I tilted my head on the side, I saw Chandler sleeping soundly.I could say his facial features are softer when he’s asleep.Watching the slight rising and falling of his chest made me wonder if he is really that beast who taught me the thrill of killing someone who deserves it.As I enjoyed staring at his peaceful face, his brows furrowed. I don't what's got into me but before he opened his eyes, I leaned my head backward and pretended that I am sleeping too.‘I could imagine how embarrassing it would be if he saw me stealing glances at him during his sleep.’ Silence swept. Keeping my eyes closed, I could Chandler’s deep breath. Aside from that, he didn’t make more sounds.‘He’s not looking at me right now, doesn
After taking a bath, Chandler exited the bathroom and saw Maxine on the sofa.She patted the pillow which she got from the king-sized bed.Brushing his wet hair using the black towel on his hand. Only wearing a black bathrobe, he walked closer to her and asked, “What are you doing?”Maxine ceased moving. Then, she looked at her with disappointment. However, since Chandler was only wearing a thin fabric to cover hi naked body, Maxine quickly avoided my direction with a face that is as red as the led light upon the ceiling. "I-I'm gonna sleep here at the sofa," she informed in a low tone. Chandler wanted to say that sleeping together in one room should not be a big deal since they’ve already kissed before. But he changed his mind and just sat beside her.The leather couch creaked as Chandler sat.Maxine stared back at her.Then he asked, “What do you fear? Are you afraid that your boyfriend will get mad at you?”“Brett will?” Chandler leered on the room's old-fashion rock crystal ch
Hi. Regarding the last chapter, let me give some explanation. Question: Why it suddenly ended that way? What the hell was that? I was also sad that I need to end it this way. Well, the original chapters of this should be 300. However, I received a notice that I should finish the story this month. I don't want to just end it just like that. And so, instead of giving a weird ending, I summarized all the chapters in Chapter 234. If I will be given a chance, I will continue to write the other chapters as epilogues. Thank you for supporting this book. It was a long journey that suddenly ended in the mid-way.
The reason why the enemy was looking for Maxine was that they were looking for the sealed item the mage stole from the magic tower.They believe that it is an item that will kill all the werewolves, and they think that once the werewolves are gone, peace will come next.However, Kelly Park discovered that it wasn’t an item but a real person. The prophecy about a child who can save or kill the werewolves was about Maxine.It was then revealed by Kelly that Maxine’s parents deliberately sent Maxine away from the packs so that she would avoid her destiny of choosing between killing the werewolves as the mages or saving the packs as the Luna.Because of the spell cast on Maxine, she had a hard time fighting over her mages power.Kelly decided to use Maxine to kill the Alphas.Chandler, Brett, Adam, Isaac, Eugene, Vincent, and Edgar came to save Maxine.They killed some mages on their way, however, they didn’t expect what Kelly would do.Under the spell, Maxine appeared in front of the Alp
The Alphas felt a throbbing pain in their chests. When they did, they knew something had happened. Adam and Brett went to Chandler. And when they arrived, they heard the news. Maxine was missing. The one who told it to them was none other than Isaac who came back and reported that Maxine’s power was awakened. “Are you nuts?! Why did you let her go alone?” Adam asked Chandler, grabbing his collar. “Adam, calm down your shit,” Brett said. Adam let go of Chandler, and Chandler nonchalantly fixed his collar. Catching his breath, Adam looked at Isaac. Isaac was injured. “Who did that to you?” Adam asked. Isaac held his injured arm and lowered his head. Then he said, “When Miss Maxine was awakening, I tried to hold her. But her power was too strong.” “Y-You mean, Maxine did that to you?” Brett asked. Isaac’s wordless response stunned the two Alphas. It seemed the prophecy was real when it said that the Queen of Luna can kill all the beast. Not only because she’s a werewolf, b
“I killed my father,” Maxine murmured. She was sitting on the moist floor filled with Konki flower.“Maxine!” Isaac shouted, staring at her. He held her shoulder and shook her to let her regain her consciousness. But as he held her, he felt her convulsed.“I killed my father,” Maxine like a crazy woman. She wailed loudly, pounding her chest while her other hand pulled her hair.Isaac did not know what to do. Panicking, he looked around. He dropped his phone when Maxine suddenly fell after eating the flower, so he had no light to see her clearly. Even if he carries her out, it will be hard to walk in the dark.“I killed her, I killed him!” she shouted tremendously.With trembling hands, Isaac searched for his phone on the ground. He felt the need to hurry because at Maxine’s condition. He needs to get her out of here as soon as possible.Suddenly, a light brightened the space.Isaac searched where it came from and was shocked to see it coming from Maxine’s hand. The bracelet on her han
Eugene woke up very dizzy inside the silent room. After blinking so much, the blindfold slowly slid down. His eyes started to adapt to the sudden brightness from pitch dark. He looked around, trying to recognize where the hell he was. But he didn’t even see anyone.“Hmmm!” someone groaned behind him.He looked back and saw Max who was tied with duct tape around her wrist just like him.“M..hmmm!” Eugene tried to call her name, but his mouth was also covered with tape. They are in the same situation, tied and unable to move. But unlike Max who had her eyes covered, Eugene could see their surroundings.‘We’re kidnapped!’ he realized.Eugene, who learned how to wolf out even at a young age, tried to shift into his young wolf form. But there was a blinding light from the rope. It has the spell of Mage.That’s weird. Usually, Mage’s spell doesn’t work for werewolves. It was then the young Eugene realized that the Mage might have found a weapon against the beasts.A bullet of panic rose in
Maxine’s POV Flapping.Flapping. I started looking through the handwritten documents inside the envelope. Then, I read them one by one.[This is the research about how I discovered the plant that can make a spell that will seal a werewolf’s memories and powers.] I looked at the papers and continued reading them.[With the right spell and the flower, I can create a sealing weapon against a beast.] There are other terms that I could not understand so I skipped some of them and looked for the last page.[“The prophecy said that my daughter will be the last key to kill the beasts. So, I sealed her power to keep her away from the unending war. If my daughter finds this out, I hope she will understand why I had to do this. – Beverly.]My eyes widened at the familiar name at the end of the report. It was my mother’s name.It was my mom who… sealed my power?As I make my conclusion, my hands tremble at the papers I’m holding.‘I have the ability to kill the beasts?’ My eyes diverted back
Finally, the owner of Maxine’s old house decided to sell it back to her. And so, the first thing that Maxine did when she came back was to go to that old house. Maxine brought her necklace and her mother’s necklace which turned like a key. When they arrived inside, they looked for a locked door where they would use the key.The last owner said that there was an underground place in the house that they failed to open. They tried to smash the door, but none of it worked, so they just left it untouchable for many years. Hearing that, Maxine decided to visit the underground place together with Isaac.Isaac looked at Maxine who was holding the key. Unlike before, her eyes were filled with determination.Maxine tried the key she was holding and with just one swipe, the door unlocked.Isaac’s eyes widened. Perhaps Maxine didn’t see it, but he saw a spell around the door.‘The reason why they could not open it was because it has Mage’s spell,’ Isaac thought.Click.Maxine’s heart pounded.
Maxine is Chandler’s mate and wife. She’s in love with Adam. She is the daughter of the former Alpha, who became a rogue. And she is Brett’s first love.That’s what Brett knew about Maxine.But after his conversation with his father, Brett created another hypothesis about Maxine’s identity.‘Did Chandler marry her while knowing her power?’ To know the answer, Brett called Chandler early in the morning even if he was aware that Chandler and Maxine were away for their honeymoon.“I love Maxine,” this was what Brett said as soon as Chandler picked up the phone.Chandler, who just woke up, chuckled.[“Telling this to Maxine’s husband right after their honeymoon, you are so unpredictable, Brett.”]Brett couldn’t reply and just tightened his hand around his phone.[“It was probably hard for you to watch the wedding between Maxine and I.”]“Yes, I am super jealous. Even right now. Just knowing that you and Maxine spent the night together made me mad.”[“This the first time I heard you feel
Maxine’s POVSitting on the bed while naked, I looked at my husband, the man who threatened my life the first time we met again after many years. With a thick white blanket to give warmth to his naked body, he’s sleeping in peace. Laying down with his chest against the bed sheet, cheek on the pillow while his arms wrapped around the cushion, his wide bare shoulder rises and falls at a slow pace.He’s sleeping as if he’s a toy with dead batteries which is in need of be charged. It’s the same for me. After our last night’s activity, I felt so tired, and I am experiencing body aches here and there. It seemed I got drunk with ecstasy, but all memories are vividly playing inside my head.The hangover I had after waking up wasn’t because of the alcohol, which I didn’t take, but the realization I had last night.‘I love two men.’ It was then when I looked at Chandler’s angelic sleeping face and I remembered the confession I made exactly on this bed.“I love you… I love him and you…” “We lo
