Chapter two

Mara POV

My mind wandered back to the amount of money I had saved. I wasn't sure if I saved here and there on my paychecks, I would meet up and I had another issue to worry about , which is mom's approval.

Thankfully the alarm I had set to signal the end of my shift went off, it made me rush to change at the break room before dashing out of the store, ignoring the angry voice of my boss.

So now ,how do I get home after today's After today's mess? Usual subway ? But I really want to take a break from everything ,so maybe taxi this time ?

I asked myself while checking my purse , I froze then . I guess I couldn't even take the break I wanted. I resigned to my fate and took the subway . By now I was used to the cluster of people in the train , as I gripped the hand rail tighter to hold myself steady , I felt a hand on my butt.

What the hell is this guy doing?

I used my second hand to push the straying hand's away but the hand came back and I could feel a hot foul breath on my neck .

"Hey darling, don't you want to have a taste of this " he whispered, thrusting , into the back of my jeans. My skin crawled in disgust as I desperately tried to push them away , but the man's hands kept straying until I got to my stop. Ew!

As I was about to get down from the train , I decided that even if the universe had turned everything against me, I wouldn't allow a stranger to just molest meso j turned to the bastard, showing him my middle finger"

"Hey , I can't want something that doesn't exist"

I left the man stuttering in embarrassment amidst Jeers as I came down from the train, I felt relieved.

Standing in front of the orphanage I had grown up in only unnerved me. It had originally been built by the pack to house children who lost their families in the great werewolf wars but now it was a place that housed just about any orphan .

I was one of those orphans. And I also knew that it was about to shut down, if we didn't get financial support soon.

“Well, well. Who do we have here?”

I turned around almost immediately. There he was, my best friend, Sam. He stood with a backpack in one hand and a suitcase in the other.

“Sam! You are back. I tried to reach you during your trip but I couldn’t get a hold on...” I was so happy to see him but was cut off when he held up a hand.

“Why the hell would I pick up your call after what you did?” Dread filled me as I took in a sneer alongside his cold tone.

Was he insinuating that ? He must be . I had heard the same words ever since that day.

I thought he would be the one to believe in my innocence but I guess I was wrong. Still I wanted to hear him say it.

“What are you on about, Sam?”

“There you go. Always playing the victim , you think your drama would work on me again ? I have seen the real you Mara and everyone does too.

You are just a murderer.” He growled each word, sending a stab of pain into my heart.

“Was that how you thought of me all along? I thought you of all people would take my side. You know that this isn’t true. I am not….”

“Enough! Wow, you are such a good actress. You killed your sister and you act like you have done nothing wrong" He cut in with a cold voice.

“I…” Tears began to fill my eyes but I refused to let them fall because I would not give in to my weakness.

He continued.

“Since we are on the matter, I want to make something clear now. I was never your friend, I talked with you just because your sister said that you were a kind girl. I got nothing to do with a murdere With that, he bypassed me and walked towards the orphanage. I finally let the tears fall.

Moments later, I sat in a dimly lit bar chugging drinks upon drinks into my mouth. I could still feel Sam's words haunting my mind .

Was I really the murderer ? I knew it's an accident but did I have no responsibility at all ? Have I been wrong the whole time ?

for a little while. I knew that I would regret wasting money on alcohol tomorrow since I was strapped for cash but for now, I drink.

Multiple drinks later, I froze as I sensed something, My body felt restless as I looked around for something. I wasn’t sure what but I kept searching anyway. Soon, I spotted him.

I didn't even have time to give him a once over before my body had begun leading me towards him .

I walked through the crowd of dancing wolves before finally reaching my target.

He seemed to have also sensed me because he was watching me too.

Our eyes met and sparks flew. My nipples tightened ,"as I felt my panties getting wet , with my throat became increasingly dry, as I got sucked into the stranger’s eyes.

My wolf immediately started getting as restless as me.

I didn’t know why I felt this way but I wouldn’t mind having a bit of fun with a stranger. And the stranger seemed to also want me.
