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
Aunt Gomez's POV “We found nothing,” my brother said, his eyes dark and angry as he walked up to me in front of the hospital. “Not even a scent or a fucking trail. It's like the entire woods was bleached with something that's taken away all of the scent.” He ran his hands through his hair “Where are your men?” I asked, worried as hell but trying not to show it. *Still looking but we found nothing in the cabin.” *Can't you activate your senses and find her?” I asked. This was the fifth time I was asking him this and the anger was already evident in his expression. “I've told you, I can't use them anymore. After Mariam died, my powers became weaker. I can't do anything even if I wanted to.” He said with a tired sigh. *Maybe she's out of town.* I suggested, not sure what to think. “How's her friend?” Angel asked, deciding not to acknowledge my previous statement. “She's in a coma, poor kid. I wonder who hit her.” I answered, taking a seat beside Angel. We were outside the h
Daniel's pov Twelve years ago The bright morning sun seeped into the kitchen illuminating everything. Mama was cooking something. I had no idea what it was but it smelled delicious… Dad wasn't home. He'd gone out to train as usual. These days, he was barely home and when he was, he was always angry at mom and would beat her up for making the simplest mistake. He yelled at me too and would sometimes hit me for saying something he didn't quite like. It always annoyed and made me cry how much he hated me. I had never done anything to him. “What are you thinking about, Danny? My mom's voice sounded. I looked up at her. “Dad hit me.” I said, unable to continue lying. Her face immediately fell. “I'm sorry baby,” she said, walking towards me and hugging me tightly, kissing me everywhere. “It's okay, my love. Dads just a bit stressed these days.” She crouched down to my level. “He's going through a lot with work and everything. He's not going to be like this forever,
Chapter 118 Micah's POV I woke up to the sound of jingling keys and the door being unbolted from the outside. “Juliet,” I glared at her. “Hello, Hun,” she waved at me. “In just a couple of hours we'll finally be wedded and I'll be the next in line to be Luna.” She smiled at me. “Great,” I said dryly. “Where is Maya?” I asked, sitting up. “She's great. Looking forward to marrying Daniel after you betrayed her.” “Wait, what?” My eyes widend. “Daniel? As in from school.” “Indeed. He wanted it to be a surprise but since you'll be marrying me in a few hours, I figured you should know plus you should know Maya is willingly marrying him too. Such love birds,” She sighed. “I don't understand. Has Daniel been a part of all of this all along?” I needed to know. I was having a hard time processing all of these information. “Duh, I literally just said that. Is the wolfsbane finally starting to fog your brain?” She asked with a cynical smile. My hand shook with anger but I did
Daniel's POV Twelve years ago. “Mom, what's dad doing?” I asked, staring at my dad as he put on some clothes. “Um, today is a tournament. See, daddy is trying to fight with uncle Darius and at the end he'll win and become a great leader. Dad really hated uncle Darius, his brother. I had heard him say it several times but after grandpa's death, the hate had become worse. He'd become meaner to mom and everyone else. I wasn't even allowed to play with Maya anymore. The only way I got to see Maya was when he wasn't home. I watched his every move as he got dressed and made my way out of the pack house. Mom pulled me by the hands and we drove to the venue of the tournament which was a little far. Mom didn't seem to be okay with this whole fighting thing. I had heard her arguing several times with dad about it but dad was adamant to win the race. I looked up at mom and she looked pale and still. I tapped her and she looked at me with raised brows. I hugged her, wanting to make h
Maya's pov I stayed still as water as Daniel's lips met mine. I wanted to bite his lips and punch him right in the guts but that would blow my cover and I couldn't afford to blow my cover or use the last of my strength. I needed to focus on getting us out of here and saving Micah. This was all my fault after all. As he continued to kiss me, I prayed to the moon goddess to quickly obliterate me. I didn't want to have to be subjected to anymore of this torture but just like everyone of my prayers for the last couple of weeks, it went unanswered. “Stop,” the words came out as a whisper even though I wanted to scream at him to let me go. “What's wrong?” I heard Micah ask. We were still mindlinked. “Nothing,” I lied. “Are you sure? You sound distressed,” He said again. I knew he could feel me more now especially since he was outside his cell but not enough to know what was actually going on. “I'm sure. Just continue to pretend like you are sick,” I pleaded with him. “Maya, te
Maya's pov Micah immediately stood up and pushed Juliet to the ground, sending her flying with his new found strength. I took that opportunity to push Daniel away from me before he could mark me. His eyes widened. He'd not been expecting me to have any strength at all and that was the plan. Micah was already out the door, searching for the keys. I ran away from the alter, straight towards where Micah currently was but my movements were slower than usual and I was still too weak from all the medications they'd stabbed me with. All I could think of at this point was to get to the doorway and run. Micah was not in the dinning room but i felt his presence somewhere in the house, so I followed it. “The gate is over here, follow my eyes.” He said to me and I did. I could see things in Micah's perspective. “Stop you fucking bitch,” I heard Daniel yell from behind. He was already gaining momentum towards me. Just a few more steps…. I said to myself. I found Micah and he grabbed me
Angel's POV “What's wrong?” Gomez asked as soon as I stopped in my tracks. “I picked up a scent.” I said, trying to sniff the air, hoping I was right and not just wishfully thinking. “Where?” She asked, stepping beside me and sniffing the air herself. “Somewhere from the north, it's Maya… she's here somewhere.” I looked around. A loud gunshot sounded and my eyes cut to my sister. “Did you hear that?” I asked her. She nodded, looking at me with curiosity in her eyes. We'd come back after my men had not been able to find anything all throughout last night. I still hadn't said anything to the Alpha for a couple of reasons. One, he wasn't bloody in the pack. Makes me wonder why he'd gotten the crown to rule if he was ever barely in the pack and Two, I didn't want him to know I was here or of my existence not to mention my daughter's. I didn't hate him but I had no love for him either. “Follow me,” I said to my sister. “Quietly and slowly,” I said to her.
