Nina’s pov- Maverick led me past a grinning Axel who said nothing but watched us with amusement. I don’t know what he could possibly find amusing because there really was nothing funny to me about his brother being hurt. “Where are we going?” I asked as Maverick picked up the pace, tugging me away from the pool and towards the barn. “Mav” I complained when he didn’t give me an answer, my bare feet now hitting the cool grass as we rather swiftly crossed the field. “you’ll see. You trust me, don’t you?” he asked glancing back at me. “Maybe, I don’t know” I answered honestly because I really didn’t know if the trust that I felt around him was there because of the fog that clouds my judgement whenever he is around. “Maybe?” he asked credulously, seemingly not liking my answer but what answer was he expecting from me? “Where are we going?” I asked again as he avoided the barns open door, instead he guided me down the side of the building. “Wait here” He finally spoke letting go of m
Nina’s pov- Even though it was a Monday morning I felt positive about the day ahead of me. After my day at the Kingsley ranch yesterday I had awoken this morning feeling more than content with the direction my life seemed to be swaying in. The Kingsley boys have this sprit about them that has me feeling almost like I was at home with them and then there was Maverick, He was so beautiful not just on the outside but on the inside. His presence made me feel safe and his playful mischievous ways has me feeling all and every bit of the happiness he brings out in me, I even felt a boost to my confidence lately and I think that was down to him too. “it’s a little early but if you want a lift to school it has to be now because I have to leave” Uncle Jesse said stuffing a stack of papers into his duffle bag. He seemed rushed off his feet this morning and tense as hell. He certainly was not in the best of moods which was odd as he usually wasn’t bad of a morning person. I guess today just does
Ninas’s pov- Betray me once then fine but once was all it would take to never get the chance to betray me for a second time. The sound of an engine pulling into the drive was enough to draw our attention from our dramatics to Maverick and his brothers pulling up in their jeep. “Are you fucking kidding me” Lucas mumbled turning back to face me with a bitter tone. “Just, get off me” I shook his hold from my wrist, and he let me go leaving a burn to my skin from his tight hold. “He’s dangerous” he remarked as I closed the front door shut, a little too hard with my growing frustrations. His comment was obviously meant as a warning against Maverick, but he was wrong, Maverick hasn’t given me a reason to be concerned nor has his brothers. “That’s funny because it wasn’t Maverick that made me cry, it was you” I said calmly side stepping him. I was done with this conversation and anything else that he felt he needed to say. “I’m serious” he caught my upper arm, forcing me back around to
Nina’s pov- Today had dragged on, might I add more than usual. I swear the days in Texas where somehow getting longer than the days that we had back in the city, or that is how it felt right now anyway. Earlier I had spent the entire of my lunch break with Kat, filling her in on everything that has happened since the party on Saturday night whilst she relentlessly apologised to me for leaving me on the side of the road and blaming the behaviour on her lack of female friendships. Which was fair play, but she truly didn’t have anything to apologies to me for because I willingly wanted to be left at the side of the road, maybe at the time not with Maverick but that turned out to be a good thing and it was what it was, we couldn’t change back time anyway. Eventually I had to appease her and accept her apology in hopes she would stop verbally pecking my head with her constant apologising. Thinking about my school day was Hella depressing and the fact that my day hasn’t got any better sinc
Mavericks pov- The second Nina got the go ahead for a break I took her hand in mine. I wasn’t going to give her the chance to back out, and secretly I was pleading with the moon goddess that the skin contact and the mate bond between me and her would help my cause. My wolf was still fired up, Lucas’s scent was all over this place meaning that he was close by, close by to our mate and the shifter side of me didn’t like that one bit. I pushed through the door holding it open for her and to my dismay she took the chance to slip her hand from mine in order for her to wrap her arms around herself, the chill in the air hitting her bare arms and legs. “Let’s make this quick because its cold out here” she glanced around, a few stray people hovering by as they smoked their cigarettes and conversed with each other. “Maybe we should walk a little, or sit in the warmth of the jeep?” I suggested sensing that she didn’t want an audience for the conversation we were about to have. She nodded her h
Nina’s pov- I shivered at the chill that went down my spine as Uncle Jesse talked with the man that was giving me a horrible vibe, it wasn’t his appearance that gave me the chills rather this gut feeling that was knawing at me. The woman at his side wasn’t helping the growing feeling as she eyed me through the glass of the window and I clung to the rim of my dress, my fingers curling the fabric into my fist with the agitation that filled me. She had some god damn nerve making what was so clearly a move on Maverick whilst I was standing at his side, actually all of them so rudely interrupting what was so obviously a personal and very much private conversation. I kept my gaze on the woman, standing my ground as she was smiling, no not smiling but grinning at me like she was accepting a challenge and ill be damned if she thinks I’ll sit back and let her challenge me. She can try me all she pleases but if she keeps up the fluttering of her eyelashes in Maverick’s direction like she so smu
Maverick’s pov- I was pushing the jeep beyond the speeding limits. Even though Jesse had seemed calm his order to take Nina to the ranch had left me on the edge of my seat. I glanced in her direction, she was feeling every bit confused, and I know it was down to the behaviour of me and my brothers. She wanted me to give her an explanation but the only explanation that I could give her would freak her the fuck out. how was I supposed to explain the encounter we had just had with the other shifters? She was angry completely pissed that her questions and worries had been shut down and ignored. It was never my intention to cause her the turmoil I see so visible in her, but I don’t know how or what to say in order to answer her questions. ‘I don’t see why you can’t just tell her everything’ Carson linked, his concern for Nina was showing as he didn’t take his eyes off of the back of her head. ‘Yeah, because telling her that werewolves exist would bring out a better reaction than the one,
Maverick’s pov- ‘You have to tell her’ Levi linked obviously having been listening in on the conversation me and Nina had just had. I ignored him, the only thing on my mind right now was to keep Nina in my sights. “Nina” I called after her as she stormed her way around back so stubbornly. “Nina” I tried again but louder, she could hear me she just chose to ignore me, her current behaviour bringing agitation to my wolf. “Darling” I reached for her hand, tugging her sharply to a still. My wolfs agitation was brewing into fury, I was struggling to keep him in his place. “Just leave me alone, I want to be alone” she tried pulling away from me, but my grip was firm and tight, she was not getting away from me so easily and not just because I didn’t want to let her but because my wolf was scratching in my head trying to get out. “Talk to me” I tugged her closer using the fact she hadn’t managed to pull away from me as an advantage to circle my arm around her waist. To keep her close to m
I entered the kitchen with a drag in my steps. Couldn’t Maverick understand where I was coming from? Couldn’t he understand that I was processing everything as best that I can, and I can’t skirt around certain topics because he simply doesn’t want to hear it.“He will be fine once he’s cooled off sweetheart” Levi grabbed my attention, he was sat in the same spot only instead of shovelling a sandwich into his mouth he was happily crunching away on an apple. “I promise I tried not to listen in, but it was kind of hard with the hearing that I have” he chuckled, his light amusement was his way of trying to lighten the dampness that Mav and I’s drama had caused.“Am I wrong?” I found myself asking as I dragged my feet across the kitchen in order to plug my phone and charger into a socket.“There is no right and wrong, this is new to both of you.” he answered, and I turned to face him.“Do you agree with Maverick? That what I said was bullshit?” I shot another question his way, I don’t know
My breathe evened out as I slowly but surely recovered from the past ten minutes, no not even just the past ten minutes but the entirety of this morning with Maverick. I was totally turning into one of those girls that was boy crazy. Not just any boy but a certain boy that not only gets under my skin but can at the same time turn those beautiful sparks to flames. Yeah, boys where something that had been a thing to cross my mind, of course it was. I was seventeen years old and haven’t been shy to experiment. But Maverick was something new, the way he captures my attention is beyond anything I have ever experienced. Nobody had ever brought such captivation out of me. He oozed everything manly from the way he dressed to the way he smelled. He was thrilling, dangerous even and dare I say it as hot as hell fire.Glancing around Levi’s room I took in the dark theme, much like Maverick’s room the colour theme was a mixture of dark oaks and black, grey shades. Everything was neat, his bed was
Nina’s Pov- I stood at the top of the stairs unsure of what room would be Levi’s. I know the room opposite the bathroom was Mavericks his overpowering scent was literally drawing me to it. I took a deep breath and sniffed the air, God I felt ridiculous doing it, but I caught the familiar scent that I was looking for, his scent was faint and overpowered by that sweet yet manly scent that was so intriguingly Maverick. I followed the light scent of what I could only place as spring and a touch of sweetness like berries of some sort. I followed Levi’s scent towards the room one door down form Maverick’s, I didn’t know why but I found myself pausing outside his door, like the room had some magical entities that invited me in. my fingertips reached out wrapping around the doorknob and I groaned out loud maybe if I peaked in to the room then the need to enter would dimmish a little. Oh god I was physically fighting with myself in order to avoid embarrassing myself again by doing somethings a
“Are you ok?” Maverick asked, his lips brushing ever so gently over mine with the movement caused by his question. My cheeks flushed, I had or more so my beast had just licked him like a dog. Not only does she appear unannounced and unwelcomed she leaves me with the mortification of her actions.“That’s a blush I don’t mind seeing” he said softly taking my chin between his finger and thumb and with the smallest of tilts he brought our lips together. My eyes closed all on their own with the gentle touching of our lips. So soft, so tingly and then nothing. I opened my eyes at the loss of contact, his thumb still held me in place as he watched me as if waiting for my reaction.“No fight?” he asked, his lips tugging into a gentle smile as he waited for a reply but I wasn’t going to give him one formed with words instead I caught his bottom lip between my teeth and tugged gently. The action completely new to me but definitely all me. He groaned, encasing my head between the palms of his ha
“Mav” I began to panic as I turned in his hold, his eyes where golden so brightly lit by his wolf as they staired back at me. I raced through my clouded mind. It felt odd, like there was fog surrounding my entire brain and forcing me out. I sifted through the memory of the past minute trying to figure out the reason for the drastic change in not only me and my surroundings but of Maverick’s sudden stone like behaviour. And then it hit me, the growl I had heard moments ago whilst I was consumed in everything that was Maverick wasn’t one that I had grown accustomed too. I franticly glanced around us seeing that we were alone, no Levi and no intruder.“That wasn’t you who growled was it?” I asked and he shook his head. He looked tense, concentrated even. Concentrated on what? I don’t know.“Me?” I asked and he nodded the thick bob of his throat visible as he gulped in the weird tension that now settled between us. I found myself staring intensely at every detail in the action as he swall
I glanced to Kat and her fearful expression as the toxicity and tension between the males the we so happen to have in our company had the air so thick it was almost chocking. The information Lucas had just forced upon us had left me with nothing less of a whiplash effect. Everything in this damn town comes out of nowhere. Everything is so sudden and unexpected I have no time to consume and adjust to the newness of everything before I’m thrown against another wall of craziness. “You have five seconds to leave my territory” Maverick demanded the attention of everyone with his thick authoritative tone. “one” he began to intimidatingly count. “We aren’t here to cause any trouble” Katarina scrambled to pick up the chain on the floor in front of Lucas, I watched as she shoved it into his chest with a burning gaze and he reluctantly nodded his head as she proceeded to place the chain back around his neck, his blazing fiery orange eyes dulled until the they faded back leaving the eyes of a
“Mav” I called after him, I was itching to move and follow but at the same time I wanted to truly try to keep from starting another argument with him less than twenty minutes after calling a truce with him. “Where the fuck is she” Lucas’s livid tone cut me from my calm resolve, Forcing me to break out of the spot I was stood in and into a run. the attempt at staying put was futile as I rounded the side of the house and in to the front yard only to come face to face with two hostile and ready to throw down boys. “I’m only going to tell you once more, leave before I throw you in the damn boot of your car and drive you off my land myself” Maverick threatened his entire body so visibly tense. “what’s going on” I cut through the thick hostility in the air, hoping in someway my presence might break the ice between the two boys and there show of dominance between each other. “Nina” Katarina let out as she climbed out of the passenger side of Lucas’s car and with her words Lucas sighed wit
Silence was everywhere. The tension Levi had left behind was thick in the air. Not only that but I was worried about him, the feeling of concern flowing in my chest as I watched the door swing shut with his leave. “Is he going to be, ok?” I asked unsure but certain that something was playing with Levi’s emotions. He was so… how do I put it? passionate and adamant that Maverick an I have something. “He’s just going through some things. He will be fine” Maverick reassured as I turned to face him. “you know he’s right, all we do is fight. Fighting with you is exhausting” I admitted and I wasn’t even afraid to admit it because it was the truth. I was drained of fighting everything that crosses me and lately there isn’t a day that goes by where I am not arguing with or crying over someone. “I can agree with that darling” he let out a scoff of a chuckle. “I” I began but closed my lips. I didn’t know what to say or if I should even say something because I was for sure still so angry with
Maverick stepped through the thresh hold of the door, his eyes instantly finding mine. All that anger from last night had vanished because all I felt right now was thankfulness that he had been there for me through that pain and although he physically didn’t hold me last night somehow I knew he was there, easing the pain from the outside of the barn. He took his eyes from me to the twins, his jaw clenching before returning his stormy gaze back on me and without a word he walked straight past me. I swivelled on my heels to face his retreating form, confusion hitting me head on. “Mav?” I called after him, a pang of pain hit my chest at the lack of acknowledgement. He was angry and that was evident with each silent stomping stride away from me, I know last night our drama was heated but I thought that after he had been there to help me through the pain that followed our drama that we could attempt to communicate on a civil and grown-up level. Although I didn’t want to do that last nigh
