Maliyah
“I just wanted to thank everyone for joining us on this special occasion. I am beyond proud of the kind, beautiful young lady my daughter has turned into. It seems like it’s as only yesterday that I learned that her mother was my mate who had two beautiful daughters I would end up calling my own. Maliyah has a bright future ahead of her and I know she will accomplish anything she sets her mind to. And lastly, a reminder I will bury anyone who hurts her.”
The last part of dad’s speech gets a chuckle out of everyone and a few yelling in agreement since they have daughters as well. Just when I thought it was over, mom commands everyone’s attention.
“I too, want to thank everyone for coming. I can’t believe my little Maliyah is eighteen and soon going off into the world, learning who she is and what she wants out of life. I am extremely proud of you, Maliyah. You are so strong, loving and talented that
MaliyahI feel so bad for just ditching on the party like that last night, but I wasn’t sure what else to do. I couldn’t face either one of them, each wanting a different answer from me that I just wasn’t ready to give. I also didn’t want others to figure out what was going on an expecting me to give an answer immediately as well.It’s been a few days since my birthday and I’ve been avoiding Luca and Aspen like the plague. Mom and dad have tried a few times to talk to me about it, but I keep putting that off too. Eventually, everyone got the hint and stopped bring it up. They’ve all left me alone which is what I prefer at the moment. I’ve been struggling to get my thoughts straight and no matter how hard I try to not hurt someone, I know in the end one of them is going to get hurt.Instead of trying to sort out my thou
AspenThe minute I leave Maliyah’s room I go to find Dimitri. I know she is annoyed with me but I am glad I was able to get her to take off the bracelet. As soon as she leaves her room I’ll go retrieve it. I hate that I even suggested she go on a date with Luca, but I am hoping it’ll give us a chance to catch him with his guard down if he thinks we’re all getting comfortable with the fact that this relationship could happen. Though, in reality, I will never let this relationship happen.I make my way through the forest to meet Dimitri. It’s not too far in so we can see who is coming and going of the house. When I arrive, I find Dimitri is already there waiting.“You got her to take it off,” Dimitri asks.“Yes, it’s in her jewelry box. We can grab it when she leaves, I convinced her to go find Luca to go on a date.”“You know we should just tell her what we’re plan
Maliyah“What do you hunters want?”“We heard of this interesting rumor about the hybrid twins, though one is dead. The surviving hybrid is able to now shift into a dragon and wolf form. Our leader is very interested in this new development. So don’t worry, we’re not here to kill you. Yet anyway,” say the one in the middle.He has green eyes and has dyed his hair blue. He appears to be the one in charge over the other two. I raise an eyebrow and let out a small laugh.“Interesting rumor, I wasn’t aware hybrids existed.”“Come now Maliyah, don’t make this difficult.”I hold my composure, though I am shocked they know my name. Luca keeps talking to me, but I ignore him so I can keep my full attention on the three men before me.
Aspen“How in the hell did the hunters get that close to her!? How is it that we were not aware they were near out territory?”Derek is furious and has all his warriors submitting under his aura. If I were a wolf, I am sure I would be submitting as well.“We’re not sure Alpha. No one on border patrol smelled or sensed anything out of the ordinary. We’ve been patrolling the stables as well and nothing of concern was reported,” reports the lead border patrol wolf.“Not good enough! Check the area again as well as the school and any other hang out area you can think of the teens go to. The pack is on lockdown until we catch these bastards. Hire humans to care for the horses for now. No one is allowed at the stables until further notice, my family included.”“Consider it done brother,” says Mark.
MaliyahI have been standing the shower far too long, letting the water cascade down my back as I lean my head against the cool tiles on the wall. I haven’t lost control of my powers in years and today I didn’t even realize I was losing control. Right now I feel in total control; I’ve been using my water powers to play around with the water, freezing and unfreezing it.I let out a sigh as I turn off the shower and get out to get ready. I take my time blowing drying and styling my hair. I leave it down, curling it and put on little makeup. I put on a jean skirt, simple tee shirt and ankle boots. I have no idea where Luca wants to take me.There is a knock at my door and I check the mirror one last time before opening the door. Luca is standing there with red roses and wearing jeans, a green tee shirt and black boots.“They
MaliyahWhen I wake up the next morning I find I have a killer headache. I rack my brain for what happened yesterday, but I don’t remember. The more I try to think about it, the worse my headache gets. I hear a light tap at the door and rush to open it.“Good Morning sweetness,” says Luca as he plants a kiss on my lips.“Uhh..good morning.”“Something wrong?”“I just…what happened last night?”“We went on that date, watched the shooting stars and went home. You fell asleep though on the ride home and your dad carried you to your room. He said you woke up and told him that you choose me. You have no idea how happy that makes me.”Luca wraps his arms around me and I find myself hugging him back. I am utterly confused as I don’t remember this at all. Did I really choose Luca that quickly? Does Aspe
LucaDespite everything I have done to ensure her mind is swayed towards me, she still resists. She is way strong than I expected and every time she sees that damn elf, she pulls ways from me. I need to find a way to keep the elf away so the spell I have on her becomes stronger.I take her back to the pack house as her father ordered. She seems too eager to leave me as she quickly disappears inside. There are times I wonder what I am even doing anymore. Here I am seducing my half-sister to gain her powers, but then what? All I’ve ever wanted is a family and Breanna is certainly not family as she wants revenge for the Alpha and this family killing her mate, who was the uncle to the Alpha.Brandon is a good kid and I would prefer to see him grow up in a normal household. I wonder if it’s too late for me to reveal who I really am and they&rsqu
MaliyahThe minute I left Luca’s side I had this urge to go back to him. It took everything I had to not turn around and run back into his arms. I find that feeling odd and I find that I find it odd even more odd. This is suppose to be easy. Finding my mate is not suppose to be this hard and confusing.First thing this morning, Luca was on my mind and how excited I felt at seeing him again. Normally, it would be Aspen and I am slightly appalled at myself for how quickly I moved on and tossed Aspen to the side. I feel so guilty and yet there is another part of me that doesn’t care since I found my mate. I have never been one to not be empathetic and yet here I am not really caring that I hurt him.I shake my head at that horrible thought. Where did that even come from? Of course I care that I hurt him, we’ve been through so much together and we both expected me to become his queen. I
