~ MAYA’S POVMy breath seized the moment Ashton climbed on me, and the second he kissed me, I was bewildered by his actions not that he hasn’t kissed me before but the way he kissed me was sensational. A certain strange feeling rushed through me and I somehow like it.Ashton stayed quiet for some time, just staring at me. His dark piercing eyes were locked in mine and I was beginning to feel quite uncomfortable with our current position. My body was reacting strangely to it and I don’t know why. "You want to?" He asked gazing down at my chest and then at my eyesI don’t know what he’s talking about but I nodded anyways. I somehow feel good about whatever he’s saying. Ashton smirks before crushing his lips on mine. He kissed me hungrily, I felt a burn on my body when his large hands touched my face, our tongues fought for dominance but eventually, he won. When his large hands held my neck choking me while kissing, that turned me on. I was a moaning mess and he hasn't even touched me.
~ MAYA’S POVAshton didn’t come back to the room last night and for some reason, I was bothered. I don’t know why but I curse myself every minute for thinking or even caring about him. I shouldn’t be doing that. He hurt me, he used me like a piece of cloth and just toss me like I was nothing. I couldn’t sleep last night, all I could think about is what Ashton said to me. I don’t know why but I don’t believe his words, I think he was just trying to convince himself. The way Ashton behaved last night made me very curious, I want to know why reacted like that toward me, I am pretty sure that something is wrong with him.There is something I don’t know.When Ashton kissed me last night, it was different from all other times. I felt a strange connection between us and somehow I saw a different look in his eyes. "Maya, can you help me out here?" Grace asked pulling me out of my thoughts. Grace is one of the maids, I met her the first day I came here. I stood up from the kitchen stool whe
~MAYA’S POV"What!" I screeched. "I’m not gonna repeat myself." He said with a stern expression. I stared at him as silence encircled us for what felt like a minute. My eyes were dead set on his, trying to make sure he said what I thought he said. My mouth grew dry when he didn't flinch or laugh, not like he ever would.I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat as I licked my dry lips watching his eyes tracing my actions before he looked back up at me, and pulled away, folding his arms and watching me."I don’t have all day." He said.Is he for real right now? Does he want me to do it? Of course, he does. "You don’t have all day for what?" I asked in disbelief gracing my words and my face.He scoffed. "You just want to get me angry than am already am, don’t you? But you know what, I will just repeat myself, I asked you to fuck-""No! Don’t say it, you don’t have to complete the sentence." I said not wanting to hear him out "You can tell me to do anything, but that- that I won
~ MAYA’S POVI think Ashton was pulled back by what I said yesterday. Which is kind of a good thing, right?For some reason, he didn’t come back to the room last night, I don’t know where he spent the night and I have no intention of asking him. I’m just glad that he didn’t mention anything about the punishment. I am presently standing behind the kitchen counter making Ashton his evening coffee. This man takes coffee every single minute of the day. I wonder if he will ever get tired of it. While adding a tablespoon of coffee powder, I look through the wide window between the living room and kitchen. Ashton seems to be very close with his grandpa, they have been talking all day and not to mention that they trained together. It’s pretty impressive to see a seventy-year-old man holding weights. Even I can’t do that in my twenties. With the way Ashton speaks to his mother and everyone else around here, including me, I’m beginning to believe that the only person Ashton likes is his gran
~ ASHTON’S POVI feel like running deep into the forest until my lungs burn out from being deprived of oxygen. But will that burn down the pain in my heart? Will that make me feel better?I don’t think so.My wolf, Blake, is furious and I am not any less angry. I am fed up with everything, if I could just disappear from existence everything would have been fine. I would have been fine. I always try to put to blame on others, to make myself feel better but as much as I do that, I know very well that it’s my fault. I am the cause of everything. Talking about my mate always gets me angry and it hurts me to an extent that I can’t control my emotions any longer. It weakens me and gets the tears out of me. I sometimes lose my anger, temper, emotions, and every single feeling that comes along. I might sound silly or maybe stupid but this is who I am. I’m that darkness that can’t be seen in the light. I turn my gaze to Maya the moment she walked into the room. The look on her face was enou
~ MAYA’S POV"Where am I?" I questioned myself scrutinizing my surrounding. I am in the middle of the forest. I don’t remember being here or how I even got here. Vexing thoughts and scared images pile up in my mind, trying to make sense of my situation.Everywhere is dark, sounds saturate the forest, insect buzz, frogs yelp, birds shriek, mammals scuttle, and bats click. Even the trees seem to pulsate with sound, as the din ricochets off the high canopy and cascades back to earth on a tidal wave of noise. I began walking further, hoping to get a way out of whatever forest I am. My actions immediately halted the second I heard noises come from inside the woods. My breath caught in my throat as my heart began hammering in my chest, every pump accentuated and sped up. A wave of fear washes over me and I take a step backward. Someone rather than something is inside."H-hello, is anyone there?" My voice drummed into my ears as I stammered. My voice was heard throughout the forest which
"There is something about you that makes you different." He said standing up. He walked towards me and stood a few feet away from me.My mouth sealed as Nausea filled me up. He knows and now he’s gonna eat me alive. My palms began sweating as I looked down unsure of what to say. I want to deny the fact that I’m a human but I think it’s unnecessary because he somehow sees through me and he has already made up his mind. He won’t believe anything I tell him.He cocks his head, studying me "Who are you, Maya?" He asked "I don’t understand." I am glad I sound normal and not like the scary cat I feel on the inside. "You’re a human but different." He said and I feel my heart skip a beat.My stomach drops and I break out in a cold sweat. I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat and the uneasy grip of control I have slipped."I have a question for you Maya." He said I swallowed the lump in my throat as I prepare myself mentally for whatever hardball question he has for me. What other
~ MAYA’S POVI have Alpha Zata’s words and I’m very glad about that. Although I feel strange because he doesn’t want me to be killed until he figures out who exactly I am. I don’t know what he means by that but I don’t think it’s something I should be worried about. Ashton seems to be quite busy with training and other stuff that he hardly even knows what I’m doing. I thank god that he is not all in my business. After breakfast today, I head out of the house to go to the library. Thanks to Ashton’s busy schedule, I was able to round up all of the historical books I have been reading lately. I didn’t really find out much after reading it but I am hoping that I will when I get to the library. I plan on spending my entire day there, researching. I have to figure things out as quickly as possible because I don’t think I’m doing any good job hiding my identity and I don’t want Ashton to find out why I came here in the first place. Once I arrived at the library, I approached the librarian
I love Ashton so much and I am so excited for our big day tomorrow but I’m extremely nervous. I’m having cold feet. I know I want to marry him but I’m scared. I mean, marriage is a big deal. I don’t know if I can do it. I have been standing in front of Victoria’s room for almost ten minutes now. I want to go in and speak to her but I don’t want her to think I’m unserious, I tried speaking to Jane but she is of no help, I wanted to speak to Dad but he is not here tonight, he is at Ashton’s bachelor's party. Ashton didn’t want to have a party but Ryle and Aiden insisted on throwing one for him. Dad joined them because didn’t want to be stuck with the girls and he says he wouldn’t want to miss Ashton’s bachelor’s party for anything. While they had gone, Victoria, Jane, and I had a little fun girl's night. We did a lot of fun activities and we had a lot of fun. But eventually, we all got tired and decided to go to bed, of course, I didn’t go to bed because I was too nervous. I release
~ ASHTON’S POVI have been working on this for the past one week. I want everything to be perfect and for that to happen it has to go as planned. This is one of the most important things I’m going to do in life and I don’t want to screw it. I look at the arrangements one more time, it looks good but I can’t help but think it’s not the best work. I want everything to go exactly the way Maya dreamt about it. If I’m the man of her dreams then I should be able to propose to her the way she dreamt about it. I earlier told Jane about it and since I want it to be a surprise I asked Jane to keep Maya busy so she doesn’t suspect a thing. They are at home right now and I think in a couple of minutes they will come here to the restaurant. I want to propose here because this is Maya’s favorite place for dinner dates and we spent a lot of our wonderful times here.I can not wait to see Maya’s reaction when I propose. I even asked Aiden to videotape her reaction when I propose to her. I would love
~ A month laterI got discharged from the hospital and my wound seem to have already healed. The doctor said the cut wasn’t that deep which I am glad it isn’t. Things have been going pretty good around here. I have had one of my best times in this month. To say I am happy is an understatement because I am way more than happy- I am elated. I have the most wonderful family with me which has two of my favorite people in the world. Dad and Ashton. I think Dad is as happy as I am. I am really glad that he’s feeling much healthier now, and he has been enjoying his time with us and he is getting the hang of being around everyone. At first, he seem a little scared around people but now he is comfortable. I can not be any more happier to see him smiling every day. Ashton on the other hand, has been nothing but supportive of me and Dad. He spends quality time with his dad and I think his dad likes him, at first, he wasn’t sure of Ashton because he is Narya’s son but Ashton showed him that he
I woke up to the sound of the heart monitor beeping to my left. Am I in the hospital? I turn my gaze around to see Ashton sleeping soundly close to my lap with his hand holding mine. I smiled at him, he must have spent the night here. I look around the room and realize that I am in a hospital and I’m wearing an oxygen mask. I take the mask off my face and as I move my hand to massage my forehead, Ashton wakes up. He looks at me and a smile stretched its way across his lips "Maya." He looks very delighted to see me. He stands up and kisses my forehead. "How are you feeling?" He asked but doesn’t allow me to respond to the question. "I will go get the nurse.""No wait, Ashton." I halted his actions "Why am I here?" My voice came out low, it sounded barely above a whisper. Ashton looks like he is about to speak but before he could, I said "And why are you here?" I remember him saying that he won’t be around for a day. I am surprised that he is back so early or is he? Has it been a day?
I pushed the door again and to my surprise, it opened. I didn’t even try that hard. "Let’s go, Dad," I said. We were about to walk out of the room when we suddenly came face to face with Narya. My face falls as our eyes met. I never actually liked her but now I feel more hated towards her. "What a surprise, you found your old man." She said with a smile on her face. Why the hell is she even smiling? I was about to throw a remark on that when she effortlessly pushes my dad to the ground. "Dad." I gasped as I reach to help him. "Are you okay?" I embraced him. I check his arm to see if he is injured and thankfully, he isn’t. Turning my gaze to her, I begin my rant. I have been waiting to give her a piece of my mind the moment I saw my dad tied up here "You witch! How dare you push him." I push her to the wall. She always says I don’t have the strength of a Luna but now I will show her that I may not have the strength of a Luna but I do have the strength to hurt her. I will make her s
My jaw dropped and my eyes flickered open in shock. "Dad," I said as a single tear rolled down my cheeks. I can not believe this, the man sitting in front of me is my father. Tears streamed down my face and I looked at him to see a hint of confusion in his eyes. I don’t think he recognizes me. I take a step closer to him and I knelt next to him "You’re my father." I said; my voice very low. I reach to gently palm his face with my hand but he instantly wince away, shaking his head. Is he scared of me? "Dad, I-" I broke into tears. I don’t know what to say, I never expected to see him again. It’s been eleven years- eleven goddam years since I’ve seen him and now he’s here sitting In front of me- my dad is here. Hot tears streamed down my face as I hold his hand in mine. I gently squeeze his hand, my eyes shut as tears continue to stream down my face. I am never letting go of his hands, this feels like a dream to me. My father is sitting in front of me.I gently open my eyes and as my
I kept to where I stood until I heard no more noise of her heels clicking on the floor. I peeked my head to confirm that she is really gone before I gently pull the door open and walked into the store room. I made sure I closed the door quietly so she doesn’t hear a single noise. The second I realized she was about to turn around, I hid behind the shelf. I hold my breath as my heart lurched into my chest. I don’t want to make a single noise otherwise, I would be dead. It’s good that she just started liking me, but once she sees me here, she will go back to hating me and I will be dead meat. Speaking of dead meat, my heart starts to go a mile a minute as panic took over. I can not really comprehend why my heart is beating too fast, maybe it’s because I’m scared that she will see me or because I took immediate action. "Do you think she saw us?" Victoria asked me."I don’t think so," I respond "But what if she did?""If she did, she would have said something or even come to check," I
It’s late at night, and everywhere seems to be dark. I guess the lights aren’t on. I am standing in the middle of the hallway, I don’t know why and how I got here. I use my hand to feel the wall trying to find the light switch, as I did, I reach to turn it off when I heard the clicking noise of a heel. I think someone is coming. I turn my gaze to the direction I heard the sound. It’s dark and I can not see who it is. I furrowed my brows as I saw a silhouette just moving around in the dark but when I moved my head to get a clear view. I noticed it was Ashton’s mom. What is she doing here and why is she on heels in the middle of the night? She revealed herself through the darkness, I noticed she is holding a plate that contains raw onions and plain white rice. I wonder why.I was about to speak to her but my words caught in my throat when she walked past me almost like she didn’t see me. That was strange. What is going on with her?Walking straight to the storeroom. She stopped at t
~ NARYA’S POV (ASHTON’S MOM)God! I hate pretending, I just hate to behave differently because of someone; someone undeserving. I shouldn’t even be pretending, that stupid girl isn’t worth it at all. She is worthless, I just don’t know what Ashton sees in her, she is not pretty, she’s not smart, she is nothing, she’s not even able of doing anything not to mention she’s not the kind of Luna this town deserves. I wish I could just rip her skull out and kill her right away so all this will come to an end but I can’t, at least not right now but maybe someday. Right now, I need her because she’s my only key to my son. I can only convince him that she’s not the right person for him when I get him to trust me. Maya may be a nice person but despise her.I despise her even more than I despise her mother. Maya is exactly like her mother, stupid, useless, and of course not worthy of being the Luna. Sometimes when I think of Maya, I feel like she’s worse than her mother. At least her mother was
