Daniel's POV Lydia's suspicions was starting to get to me and I was so close to abducting her too.She'd followed me into the woods the other day and I had had to improvise by pretending to get supplies from the woods but how long was I going to continue doing this?Just today, Maya had fainted and we'd had to rush a healer to her to get her back on her feet but here was Lydia snooping around like some detective.Maybe I should have let that wolf tear out her face."Earth to Daniel. What are you thinking about?"Lydia snapped her fingers in my face."Just tired." I forced out a smile…"Of course you are. I imagine it is incredibly exhausting having a partner like Juliet."*You don't know the half of it."It was only half a lie.Juliet was surprisingly not as bad as I had initially thought.She could be annoying but deep down, she was just a little girl who'd been burdened with the responsibility of marrying into status even though her father was the beta of the pack. She was also su
Daniel's POV "Oh good, you are finally here," Juliet ran over to me as soon as I got into the cabin."Yeah, everything okay? Did Maya faint agaIn?" I asked, scanning the room."No, I need your help to choose my wedding dress, well, not your help but your thoughts on these two dresses."I blinked at her, sure I was hearing wrong."What?" She asked when I moved past her without saying a word."I'm not helping you with your wedding dress, Juliet.""Why not?" She pouted."Because I don't care about it. Ask your friends, isn't that what you have them for?""There's no need to be rude, I just thought you'd want to be part of it now that we've finally convinced Micah to marry me plus I need a man's opinion. I need something that he would like, something that gives the energy of Maya. Eww.""You definitely thought wrong and you don't need to look like Maya. Where's your self respect?" I rolled my eyes at her."Wow," she said, her face falling."Where is Maya? Has she accepted our proposal?"
Lydia's povThe school's bell rang and I immediately stood up, on my way home.For some reason, I had this nagging feeling that something was about to happen.Micah was still not back from the trip he'd taken which was odd. His friends didn't seem fazed by it. I had overhead them talking about them getting texted by him last night that he'd be arriving next week and was a bit relieved.I had half the mind to text him about what had been happening in school but thought against it.He was the one that shouldn't be trusted besides… oh my goodness!Oh my goodness!How had I not seen this sooner?It was Micah, it was Micah all fucking along.Think about it, Micah had disappeared almost at the same time as Maya had and Aunt Gomez had told me Maya had disappeared right after she'd told her that they'd have to move away from the pack.They'd run away together.It made sense, Maya was obsessed with him and even though she'd been mad at him for using her as some bet game, I could see her runni
Lydia's pov I stayed still in Daniel's car, my heart rate going crazy and erratic. I still couldn't believe what I had just seen. I didn't want to believe it but at this point, I'd be a willing fool not to. I had been right about him all along! I just knew I was! Why was Micah's expensive watch bracelet thing in his car? It couldn't be an accident and I knew it was Daniel's because it was customized for Micah. Maya had kept raving about it during one of the parties we'd attended. Daniel had definitely stolen it or he'd done something to Micah, that was why. And Maya's phone too. I hadn't seen it but I had heard it ring and knew she was the only one with that ringing tone. It was her favorite song and everyone else hated it, including Daniel. Things were no longer fishy now, it just was what it was. “Thanks for your help.” I said to Daniel awkwardly as soon as he dropped me at my doorstep. “Of course.” he said like it was a given he'd helped me. “Don't over think things.
Daniel's POV “Is it done?” I asked as soon as I got into the living room in the cabin. “It is. She has lost a lot of blood, she's most likely going to die before anyone gets to her.” Juliet's voice came through the other end of the phone. “Good. It's sad it had to come to this but it had to happen.” I said not sure whether I was trying to convince myself or Juliet.” “Sad? Please, I hated that bitch. Good fucking riddance. If only you'd let me run over Maya too, our problems will be solved.” I hung up the phone on her, deciding not to waste my breath on her silly jokes. Her hatred for Maya had nothing to do with me. I just wanted the pack that was stolen from my father by Micah's father, that was all I was here for. I let out a breath, trying to not feel anything…. “Oh, you are finally here,” Whitney's voice brought me out of my reverie. I looked up at her and watched as she made her way towards me, her blonde curls bouncing up in it's ponytail. She pulled me into a sens
Aunt Gomez's POV “What did he say?” I asked my brother as soon as he walked into the house. He looked irritated by something but then again, he always was. “He's on his way. He says we might need to talk to the Alpha and go to the precinct.” “The Alpha?” “Yes,* he answered with an annoyed sigh. *Why?” I asked, knowing he would never sign off to that. My brother gave me an odd look like I was stupid. “Because, we need all hands on deck. She could have easily been captured by him.” My brother said. He looked stressed out of his mind. His usually brilliant eyes looked dull. It had been five days since Maya had gone missing too… I knew who he was talking about and the thought scared the shit out of me. There was no way he could know it was her. The whole reason for bringing her here was so she could hide in plain sight. We'd even suppressed her powers too. How could he possibly have found out? There was no way in hell he could possibly find out, right? He'd have taken he
Aunt Gomez's pov I paced about the pack hospital, feeling stressed to my bones. We'd left the crime scene and had been here for over an hour now without word from the doctors… I looked at my phone and read the text message over and over again, practically going crazy. My heart was racing and my body was covered in goosebumps, my legs were also weak, I might as well be in the ICU too with all of these symptoms. Sitting still felt like a chore and so did standing. I felt like I didn't own my body. Lydia was battling for her life now and she was the only one that knew about Maya's whereabouts. Angel was still in the woods with some of his men, trying to search the woods for Maya while I was going crazy. Lydia's mother was also pacing somewhere in the waiting room. She was panicking and had been crying since she got here. I had tried comforting her but it was practically impossible and seemed like a waste of time. She was a mother who'd just been told that her child mig
Daniel's pov *Twelve years ago* I didn't understand why we had to leave, it was Maya's birthday, I was meant to give her her gift but as I overhead my father yell at my mother that we had to leave, it seemed like I wouldn't be able to do that. He was scared of something but I didn't know what it was and what was worse was that he kept yelling at mom. Mom was crying too, she looked like she was trying to get dad to stop but dad wouldn't. I wanted to stop it, make him stop making mama cry but I couldn't move, I was too afraid to confront him. He'd yell back at me, hurt me and I'd probably pee myself and then he'd call me incompetent. I didn't want him thinking I wasn't a man… I couldn't have him do that. “Young mater Dan, what are you doing here?” my house teachers voice startled. “Mom and dad are fighting again,” I whispered. *Dad says we will have to leave the pack. I don't want to, I don't want to leave her” My teacher rolled his eyes at me. “What did I tell about eaves
