MAXINELiam was going to kill a lot of people, I was sure. I could feel his murderous intent from here but he was smiling. And joking about the chicken.I helped Varis tie up the unconscious attackers one by one before he started to make some calls. I looked for my phone in the kitchen where I had been using it to cook.It was on the floor, shoved under the refrigerator, probably during a scuffle. I brought it out and found a few scratches but it still worked perfectly.Less than an hour later, cars were pulling over in front of the house. We stood to our feet and walked outside, with Kris of course. He was healing well. We stood, watching the park.Men in formal attire got out of the cars and surrounded the front of the house, turning their backs to it. They were guarding us, when we didn't need it anymore.The Alpha Beck of the Crimson River Pack got out of his car with, surprisingly, my father Alpha Harold. They walked towards Liam."What happened here?" Alpha Beck asked. Although

MAXINEI went to work the very next day. Even though the night before with Liam had felt strange, I returned to work. I didn't want to bet on the fact that he was going to help me out with my job at the pack hospital.I didn't know how long the leave he had gotten me extended for. So, I didn't want to risk it. Besides, I was bored at home.At work, nothing new had happened. It was the usual gossip mill. Some nurse was screwing some doctor and one or both of them were worried. I met some people who had been searching for me to buy herbs. I gave them my number.I was going to stick to delivering the herbs to them. I didn't want a repeat of Alpha Gerald. If more people knew where I lived, the risk of getting attacked was raised much higher.Someone with good intentions could give my address to someone who didn't mean well.As I walked home, I was reminded of Ella and Tobias. I hadn't seen them in days and I don't think I had invited them to my new place. I wonder if they had heard that I

MAXINEMy jaw must have been touching the floor. I couldn't hold back my surprise. I was short of words. Of all the things bothering her, I had never considered that Tobias cheating was one of them."What?" I asked. "How did you find out?"For as long as I've known Tobias, I never for once thought that he was that kind of person. He seemed upright, with good values.Well, I guess I wouldn't know. I had never really been in a relationship with him. Ella was the one. So, I wouldn't know what he was like when someone was in a relationship with him."I… just feel so. He comes home later than usual. He doesn't talk much with me anymore. I…" Her eyes glistened with fresh tears. "I don't even think he wants the baby anymore.""Oh, Ella," I said, immediately wrapping my arms around her and pulling her to my side. "Don't say that. Of course, Tobias wants the baby. He could never not want it."She wiped her tears and pulled away from me. "Then why is he acting this way? He suddenly just changed

MAXINEI nodded. "Yeah. And she's thinking things." I replied.Tobias ran a hand through his hair. "I messed up. Shit." He replied. "I've just been working extra hard, getting more jobs. I'm doing it for our future, for our baby.""She doesn't know that. All she sees is that you're coming home later and not seeing her." I said. "Her words. She says it's like you know that she's around but you don't see her. She thinks it's because there's someone else. Someone else who has your attention, your time, your love."He let it sink into his head. "I was just so tired. Always am. I didn't know this was affecting her too." He said."You should go let her know. I'll wait here so you guys can talk. Or better still, I'll leave." I offered."Thanks for all you do, Maxine. Thank you." He said."Don't mention. What are friends for?" I said. I left the room.Ella was still in the kitchen, cleaning. My thought was that she was trying to keep herself busy. But I knew that she was thinking about Tobias

MAXINE"Come, let's go," Nadia said, picking up the tray of antiseptics and surgical scissors.I followed after her into the torch-lit corridors of the pack hospital. The pungent smell of antiseptic hung heavy in the air. Nadia's eyebrows furrowed but she bounced with nervous energy."You were incredible with that delivery, Maxine," Nadia said, her voice filled with awe. "The way you helped her deliver that baby… it was like magic!""Again, the herbs did the job. Not me. Though, I wouldn't call it magic." I said, turning her thoughts down.They reached a doorway draped with heavy furs, muffling the sounds within. A low moan escaped from the room, followed by a muttered curse.Nadia's gaze softened. "Looks like Elara's in good spirits, despite the cracked ribs." She said. She had been worried about her because she had been slow in healing."Yes," I said.Nadia's sighed, her usual cheer dimmed. "But our best doctor is away tending to a rogue sighting near the southern border. We could u

MAXINEI gave her a cup of tea and sat down in the chair opposite her with my cup. I made a mental note to make the moonflower tea for Elara.We drank from the cup of tea slowly, sipping. I was going to force her to say anything. I was just going to let her be. Whenever she was ready."He's a good man," She began.I was surprised to hear her speak so soon. "Who is?" I asked, putting down my cup.Lindsey gave me a small smile and looked into her cup of tea. "Mark— Marie's father. He was the love of my life. He was kind, he was thoughtful. He was everything I ever wanted." She explained slowly.I watched her quietly. The look in her eyes told me that she was remembering all the good times, the reason why she had fallen in love with Mark. The reason she had started a family with him. She was still in love with him."He was a good husband. I thought that he would be a good father too." There was a look of regret on her face. She sighed. "He just wasn't what I thought he was.""What happen

LIAMI've never seen her look so desperate before. She stayed on her knees, her hands pressed on her knees and her head bowed slightly."Please, master," she begged again.Frustration gnawed at me. Her voice was trembling with fear, sadness, and something I couldn't quite place. She wanted me to have sympathy. But pity was a luxury an Alpha couldn't afford."I thought she was your neighbor. Have you ever lived a month with her? Why are you putting your all to help this woman?" I asked, not understanding.It felt like Maxine was always trusting. The same way she was with Nick. I swear, I could smell the desperation oozing from her second skin. "Please, Alpha Liam," she pleaded, her voice barely a whisper. "Just a word… Lindsey's a good mother, they can't take her daughter away!" The name Lindsey was a foreign sound in this office. I didn't know her before this. Going out of my way to waddle in legal cases was not what I was looking forward to.I wasn't a glorified pack enforcer, o

MAXINEI stopped in front of the cafe and read the sign. It was Howl's Cafe. I had managed to get a hold of Mark and convinced him to see me. It had taken a lot to make him come here today. I hoped he was here.As I pushed the door open and walked in, the scent of cinnamon and roasted beans filled my lungs. The bell at the top of the door rang, signaling my entry.My eyes scanned the small crowd in the interior and landed on Mark who was hunched over a steaming mug of coffee. I walked over to him and slid into the worn leather booth across from him.Mark glanced up, surprise flickering across his face before settling on indifference. He hadn't noticed me until I was seated opposite him. I must have thrown him off."Maxine," he acknowledged, his voice flat."Mark," I replied. "Thank you for coming.""Don't thank me for anything yet. I only agreed to meet you. Nothing more." Mark countered gruffly before taking a large gulp of his coffee."I came here to negotiate," I said, skipping str

MAXINEI got a job working at the pack hospital again. This time, I signed up to be a real medical practitioner. I was going to become a midwife. There were a few familiar faces at the hospital and lots of new ones.Still, I was grateful to Ronan for giving them this opportunity again.That evening, I walked back into my apartment. The dead herbs were still in a box on the floor in the kitchen. I wondered if I would go back. I used to pick herbs and sell them to women who wanted to get pregnant.It felt like eons ago. Times were simpler. Back then, I saved lives not help take them. That was a time when I didn’t have blood on my hands.I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I wanted my simple life again. It was simple but everything made sense. I didn't have to try to untangle myself from this mess that was my reality.A knock on the door brought me back. Zel was back from work. She worked as a bartender a little while from our apartment. Zel had gotten the job. After the manag

MAXINEI nodded, not trusting myself to speak without crying. Ella was right. I needed to let myself grieve. The love I once had for Ronan still occupied my heart.Lindsey reached out and held my hand. "We’re here for you, Maxine."I squeezed her hand, grateful for their support. They were right. I didn’t have to go through this alone. I had them.Maybe it wasn't so bad after all.***Going back to my old life felt like stepping into a strange place. There was the feeling of losing something. My apartment felt like a place from a faraway memory. Zel was gone and I was feeling so sad.I was back from saying goodbye. I unlocked the door and stepped inside. The space was just as I’d left it. There was still dust over everything. At least, I had something to do with my time.I took a deep breath. I hadn't lost everything. I was still okay.I began to clean up slowly. Lindsey stopped by to help me out and together, we covered a lot. As I was cleaning, I heard a knock on the door.“Are you

MAXINEI wanted to believe her that everything would be okay but deep down, I felt guilt and grief. This was my fault. I pulled back from her and wiped my eyes. I gave her a shaky smile. “It doesn’t feel like it.”She cupped my cheek. “Everything isn't always as it seems, my dear. But, I can tell you one thing I know for sure.” She said.“What's that?”“It's not your fault. I'm sure you don't know where to go from here, what to do, or where you belong. You want to come with me, you want to continue your life back at the place where you and Zel liked and you want to go back to how things were in this pack.” Cinder explained.“But, I see you staying here. This is where your strength lies, where hope lives, where you have friends and support.” She lowered her eyes and winked. “It's where you have a future.”“And, we'll always be here for you to fall back on, regardless of what happens. We're your home away from home.” The Luna Queen said, putting her hand on my shoulder. “I'm very proud.

MAXINEI didn't feel anything. No pain from a stab whatsoever. I looked between us and that's when Ronan smiled. His lips were close to my ear and he whispered, “I would never hurt you on purpose, love.”I didn't know when I screamed.Ronan collapsed into my arms, taking the both of us down to the ground with him. I tried my best to hold his head up on my lap. My eyes traveled down to the blood pouring down the stab wound in his belly.“Ronan,” I called, tears filling my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. He had stabbed himself.My hand shook as it hovered over the wound. I didn't know what to do. The dagger was in his chest.Ronan had chosen death. Death over a life without me.“Maxine…” he called, his voice unnaturally calm for someone who was dying. He reached up to touch me and I guided his hand to my cheek.“I'm here, I'm here,” I cried. “I'm sorry,” I whispered the last part. My hands shook as I held him. I never wanted this. I didn’t want him to die.Ronan gasped. He looked up

MAXINEI held my breath as Ronan kept his eyes on mine. When he was close enough, he stopped. Neither of us said a word. The battle continued around us but I couldn't get myself to make the first move.He didn't either. I wondered if it was hard for him to see me. I wondered if he thought he could fight me. I also wondered if he thought that he could kill me.I spoke up first. “Ronan,” I called. My voice was sounding more longing than I wanted.I missed him, to be honest. I missed sitting down in the quiet and reading books. Strangely, I missed making his cinnamon coffee.Ronan didn't say anything. Instead, he took a step closer. “You don’t have to do this,” he said.There was no hurt, no anger in his voice, just nothing but kindness. I wished he would yell. I wished he would curse me and call me evil for everything I've done.“Come with me.” He said, softly. I heard it regardless of the noise. “We can fix this, Maxine. We'll leave everything behind together.”It sounded so good. But,

MAXINEHe caught me off guard. It meant that he still cared about me. I didn't focus on that though. “I won’t, I promise,” I replied.We stood there in silence for a while, neither of us knowing what to say. I could feel it though. I could feel it. The unspoken feelings and questions we didn't have the time to ask.Or we didn't dare to ask, I guess.After everything that had happened, I still wasn’t sure where we stood. I said I was okay with him hating me but, I didn't know anymore. The lines between us were confusing now. I didn't know how to fix that.But now wasn’t the time to focus on that. We had a mission and that was a priority. Every other thing could come after. We would cross that bridge later.For some reason, Liam stepped closer and I held my breath. “Regardless of what has happened between us, out there?” He said, “No matter what happens, we’ll get through this together. Do you understand?”I nodded. “Together,” I repeated.Before I could say anything else, Zel appeared

MAXINECinder gave me and Zel a brief of the plans that night when she showed us a bedroom. She and the Luna Queen were sharing the one right next to us. They told us to come to them if we faced any issues.Sleep didn't come easy because my mind was entirely on Ronan. I didn't know how I was going to face him again after betraying his trust. But, I knew I couldn't sit out of this fight.The sun had not even risen when I was woken up by the sound of Liam's voice. He was given instructions and I heard more footsteps around the house than the number of people I had seen the previous day.It meant that Liam was already up and gathering the troops. I could hear him giving commands like it hadn't been two months since he was last in power. He was a natural-born leader. He carried this air of authority around him.He was giving orders, explaining ranks and positions for this fight. Every single detail was important to winning.Zel was still asleep, of course. She wasn't a wolf so she wouldn'

MAXINEI chuckled bitterly. “What about now?” I asked. “Will you take me back now that I have a wolf? Isn't that what you've always wanted?”His eyes widened slightly but he kept himself composed. “That would be unfair to you. It would be wrong. If you want to come back to me, I will take you but the choice is yours now. You have a choice and I see now that I was wrong. I’m so sorry, Maxine. I hope you can forgive me.”Tears welled up in my eyes. I hadn't thought about this but I let the anger roll away from me. He was still family. He was my father. “I forgive you. You're my father, whether you abandon me or not.” I said.“Thank you, Maxine.” He said. He reached for me hesitantly. I would have settled for a handshake but he wrapped his hands around me. For the first time in what I knew was forever, my father hugged me.I didn't know what to feel about that.LIAMAfter Maxine spoke to her father, they returned to the living room. However, she moved toward the far end of the room, away

LIAMDespite everything that was unfolding in front of me, my thoughts were stuck on one thing.Maxine had a wolf.I couldn't wrap my head around it. After everything that had happened to her, it didn’t make sense. I glanced at her. The strange white-haired girl was sitting between us.Maxine was staring out of the window. The white-haired girl squeezed her hand. Maxine turned to look at her and offered her a small smile. That was when she caught me staring. She looked away, taking her eyes back to the window.It left me confused. Was she pissed at me? I was the one who had the right to be mad at her. She had chosen him over me. Well, the distance between us was necessary.I didn't know what I would say or do if I were sitting next to her. Kris took a sharp turn, causing Maxine to grab the handle of the car door. I opened my mouth to say something but I stopped myself. There would be time for questions later.“You alright back there?” Varis asked.“We’re fine,” I said. I didn't know i
