My gaze was pinned on the pendant, my body rooted to its position, my mind was blank and I couldn’t bring myself to believe that he was holding my type of pendant.It’s not possible. "Now will you listen to me?" He asked I looked between him and the chain’s pendant he was holding, unsure of what to say, my mouth blurted, tired of being in suspense. "Where did you get that from?" I asked; my voice came out lower than intended.He smiles and looks at the pendant "It’s one of a kind, isn’t it?" He said taking steps closer to me "It’s very special and think we both know why." He stands feet away from me. My gaze is still pinned on him and I wait for him to answer my question. He finally takes the last step toward me leaving me no room for movement. "You thought It’s a single piece, right?" "How did you get it?" I asked again The smile on his face never fade as his eyes flickered from my face to the chain I was wearing. "May I?" He asked. Not waiting for a response he hold the necklac
The pizza shop suddenly feels like it’s closing in around me as I try to calm down. He knows. That’s why he brought me here, it’s the perfect place to kill me. No one knows I’m here and there is barely anyone here, just the waiter and Isaac. This was all part of his plan. It makes sense now. He convinced me to go to the store because he knew that was his only chance. He set this thing all up, he made me come here so he can feast on me. Now I know why he got suddenly hungry on our way here, he said he wanted a snack but not a regular one, he wanted me. My flesh, blood, and bones, are the snacks he’s referring to. My mind continues to create all sorts of assumptions as my heart ponders in my rib cage. I can’t believe I walked into my death trap. He’s going to kill me and no one’s gonna find out. I looked between them, they are staring at me probably waiting for the right moment to shoot the obvious question at me, kill me and then feast on me. I gulp that lump of thoughts that forms
"There you are." Grace sighed walking towards me. "Where were you? I have been running mad looking for you.""Why is something wrong?" I asked, concerned"Hopefully not. Alpha Ashton sent me to look for you.""He’s back?" I inquired wide-eyed. I did think he will be back so soon. Thank God Kelvin didn’t stay back."Yes, and he’s been asking of you." She said "Why?"She shrugged "I don’t know.""Ohh okay. Where is he?" I asked "The study room." She responded "Okay," I said turning around to leave but before I could she called my name out making me turn to look at her, expectedly. "He seems angry, so be careful." She warned "There is never a time Ashton isn’t angry," I stated laughing a little bit.I got into the study room to see Ashton sitting behind the desk. He is working on some paperwork. "Grace told me you were looking for me," I said walking towards him"Where were you?" He asked glancing at me and then back at the papers "I was- Uhm- around the house." "What were you doi
I kept quiet as Ashton continues down the gravel road. He turns the music off finally so the only noise is the gravel crunching beneath the tires. We are out in the middle of nowhere. I am nervous because we are all alone, everywhere seems to be earthy, the 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 look out the window to see the grass and trees. Granted, it is nice and serene out here. Yellow wildflowers are littering the land, and the breeze is perfectly warm. But why did he bring me here? "Why are we here?" I inquired climbing out of the car. My mind was already giving me countless reasons why Ashton brought me here. A quiet place, away from everyone is certainly the best place for a perfect murder. No one knows I’m here and that’s perfect for Ashton but not for me. As usual, I am beginning to go crazy thinking abo
"Talk to me, Maya." He said into my ear then takes my ear lobe between his teeth. I nod again, this time harder. "I need you to talk, tell me what you want. Speak out loud so I know you really want me to." His wandering hands travel underneath my bra. He trails his fingers softly on my skin as he feels my breast on the way through.I suck in the air feeling the warmth of his finger. "I want to." My mind decides before I could argue with it. Ashton smiles against my neck, his mouth continuing his gentle assault as I moan with pleasure. "Beautiful." He said and grabbed my thighs, lifting me higher onto his torso, and begins to walk out of the water. As he swam for the dock I could feel his warmth seeping into my skin from everywhere our bodies touched. When we got to the dock, he lets me go and I whine, inflaming his ego even more but I don't care. All I know is that I want him, I need him. I forced my shaking legs to climb the ladder. Picking up my jacket, I wrapped it around my body
The kiss was soft and teasing, coming together and drifting apart, his tongue playfully gliding over mine. His hand wraps into my hair and I can feel his erection press against my stomach as he brings his body closer to me. His lips are on my neck as he sucks hard. I arch my back in pleasure, wetness pooling between my legs. He releases my neck and leaves hot kisses on my shoulder as he works the hook of my bra. The second it's gone, he covers my right tit with his mouth. "Ohh, ohh" I moan as he sucks hard, pulling my nipple between his teeth. I unconsciously push my tit deeper into his mouth, wanting more. He takes his time on my right before moving to my left tit. He makes sure to give it the same amount of attention. My core throbs, eager for him to be inside me.Ashton then slides down to my underwear, he pushes my panties to the side. I cry out as his fingers enter me and I wrap one of my arms around him under his arm. I reach between us with my other hand to palm him. He groans
The sun was shining bright as it shade its ray through the window and directly on my face. My face glittered as my eyeballs began to move around adjusting to the brightness of the room. I slowly opened my eyes smiling all the way through, I am undoubtedly in the most comfortable bed. I stretch my arms as I sit up from bed. Eyes open, my gaze landed on Ashton. He is standing in front of the mirror brushing his hair. I immediately jump out of bed holding the sheets over my chest to cover my body. What have I done? What have I done? My mind begins to pace around. I don't know what I was thinking of; sleeping with Ashton? Was I drunk? Was I stupid? Oh no Maya, you let your hormones take the best of you. Shame washes over me as I wait for regret to fill me up but none came. I couldn’t bring myself to regret any of my actions- yes I feel a little bit ashamed but I don’t regret anything. Maybe Is because last night was something to remember or because I always fantasize to be with Ashton.M
I spread peanut butter on the bread and cover it with a layer of jam. I pour orange juice into a glass cup and place it before Jane."Here you go," I said "Thanks." She takes a bite of it and then uses her hand to lightly wipe the side of her mouth. "So, how was the doctor's appointment?" I asked pouring orange juice into the glass. "It was okay. The doctor prescribed some medicines for me and advised me to exercise regularly." She said through a mouthful of bread."Ohh that’s great. Exercises are good for pregnant women." I said "You really think so? I just think it’s a whole new level of stress and I’m not ready for that." She popped the bread into her mouth and said around it"Oh come on, It’s not that bad.""It is. Have you never wondered why I’m not part of the pack? I quit the whole training thing and went into cooking because I don’t like to participate in the up and down exercises thing.""Yeah but that’s training and this is exercise, a totally different thing."She humme
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
