MAXINE"I'm your worst nightmare," he snarled, his voice dropping lower than I've ever heard it.I knew that Alpha Liam was scary but I didn't know he was scary enough to make another grown man doubt what kind of creature he was. I was still stunned and I didn't even realize when he had walked away until a wolf nudged me."Oh, sorry," I apologized, quickly hurrying after Liam."Get in," he told me as he got into the car. I timidly got into the passenger seat. He started the car and began to drive away."If this should ever happen again, I'm going to find you and then kill you myself, do you understand?" He asked me, his eyes on the path."Yes, master," I replied, folding my fingers together between my laps.He sounded like he meant it and I was more scared that I would do something wrong and he would be reminded of the dungeon. What if he chooses to lock me up until he sees fit?"Maybe a few days in the dungeon will be a good lesson to you." He said.It was almost like he read my mind
MAXINEIt was Alpha Gerald— the man who had rejected me as his mate and chosen my best friend instead.I slammed the door in his face and leaned back against it, panting. How had he found me here? Had my father told him where he had taken him? Why was he here?He knocked on the door again. "Maxine, don't be stubborn. Open the door." He ordered.This was the same man that I had loved. That I had dreamt of giving myself to for a thousand nights. I had imagined him falling in love with me, holding me, and confessing his undying love for me.I had so many dreams about him. But after he had rejected me the night when my wolf refused to awaken, everything I felt for him died, replaced my hatred.Or so I thought.My knees were weak and my heart was racing. This wasn't what someone felt when they met the person that they hated. This was wrong. Why did he have such an effect on me?"Maxine!" Alpha Gerald called again, banging on my door.If he continued like that, he would disturb my neighbors
LIAM"This is not up for discussion. You've wasted your time. I'm not sorry because I didn't invite you. This meeting is done." I said sternly.There were sounds of disapproval from them. However, the Alphas and their representatives began to get up leaving over by one, many of them displeased. I didn't care. I've never been one to kiss up to the Alphas.Besides, I was strong enough to challenge them like this and get away with it. After they had left, the only ones in the room were me, Varis, and Alpha Gerald.He acted like he had something to say to me. I eyed him wearily. "Is anything the problem?" I asked.He shook his head. "No, of course not. But…" he trailed off."Alpha Gerald, if you have something to say, I suggest you spit it out," I said as curtly as I possibly could."There's still one problem that you have to take care of." Alpha Gerald said to me.I lifted my brow at him. What could know that I wasn't already aware of?"And that is?" I asked."There's a wolf—" he stopped
MAXINEAlpha Gerald wanted to have his way with me. I cried and struggled. This was the wrong day to wear a skirt. This was the wrong day, period.I closed my eyes, begging the moon goddess to save me. My door opened and I peeled my eyes open in time to see the Alpha's right-hand man walking into my house.He grabbed Alpha Gerald by the shoulders and lifted him off of me, pushing him away. "You disregarded the Alpha's warnings," he growled out, standing between me and Alpha Gerald.I quickly stood to my feet, arranging my clothes and holding what was left of my shirt to cover myself. I glared at Alpha Gerald.He looked like he knew that he had been caught doing something wrong. Because he had been."Leave this town, immediately," Varis commanded him."Don't think you've escaped this time, Maxine. This isn't the last you'll hear of me." He said as he began to walk backward. "I can promise you that."When he was gone, my knees grew weak. I staggered back to the couch and held onto it fo
MAXINEI was so embarrassed. I scurried out of the room and into the hallway, closing the door behind me. Tears blurred my eyes as I pulled the blanket tightly to my body.I needed to get out of here. I traced my way back to the main door and although it took me a while to find it. A lot of the wolves in the pack house were staring at me as I left.I hurried back to my house, keeping my head down low. But before I could get anywhere, Kris pulled over with his car. He rolled down the window."Hop in." He told me. I hesitated, looking back and forth waiting for anyone that I could use as an excuse not to enter.He must have sensed my fear. "Liam asked me to take you to another house." He said.My eyes widened. "But, my things… my life is in that house," I said, mentally making a list of everything that was in that house. "I… I can't just leave."Kris got out of the car and walked over to my side. He pulled the door open and came to me, herding me into the car."Liam's orders. If you hav
LIAM"Undress," I repeated looking right into her eyes. I crossed my legs and rested my chin in my hands.She was still wearing the shirt I had seen her in the pack hospital. The shirt hugged her chest in a way that remained imprinted in my mind even after I had walked past her.Her eyes were still widened but she nodded, bowing her head as she made to undo the buttons of her shirt. She did it calmly and something about it was attractive.She finally finished unbuttoning it and she took it off. The next to go were her black trousers. She unbuckled it and took it off, standing in front of me wearing nothing but her underwear.Surprisingly, they matched."Turn around," I told her, using my finger to gesture.She did as I said, turning around. I stood to my feet, taking off my jacket and my tie, before slowly unbuttoning my shirt. I could hear the sound of her heart racing in her chest.I got to her and slapped her buttocks a few times. She winced. "Go to the bedroom," I instructed.Care
MAXINEI smiled, staring at the new phone. Liam didn't want to get me a phone because he thought it would make me distracted and I wouldn't be able to do my job well.I wanted to call him. But, I didn't have his number and even if I did, I wasn't sure if he wanted to be reminded of this small kindness he just did to me. I didn't know what was acceptable now.Still, I was grateful for the phone and I didn't hesitate to find out all the things that it could do.I was still very much sore from last night so I called in sick to work and had a warm bath. I was feeling a bit sick. The warm bath helped a bit. After that, I washed off the stained blanket and stayed in bed, using my phone.I was extremely bored after a few hours. I didn't have any of my friend's numbers and I still hadn't gotten my things from the old house.I decided that I had to get this done or forget about actually moving in completely anytime soon. I pulled on baggy joggers and locked the doors, stuffing my keys in my po
MAXINE"I'm sorry, you startled me." I quickly apologized and crouched down to pick up the pieces of glass on the floor. I packed them up and threw them into the bin."You're so unaware of your situation that it irritates me," he said with a growl. I saw his eyes glow briefly and I froze, looking up at him. He looked away, rolling his eyes briefly in the process."I'm sorry, master," I apologize getting the broom and sweeping up the smaller pieces of glass."Why can't you shift into a wolf yet?" He suddenly asked. He sounded like he was curious."I don't know," I said, trying to keep the annoyance from my voice.I asked myself this question many times and I still didn't have an answer. His asking me this, just reminds me too much of how incompetent I was as a werewolf."Come here," he said.I left the kitchen and walked towards him. I stood in front of him, waiting."Sit," he instructed. I sat by his feet, oddly like a patient dog. I had mixed feelings about it.He looked at the boxe
