Juliet's PovI was filled with rage. I would believe that bitch Maya had the guts to hit me back after I slapped her. And it was all because of Micah. I knew she wouldn’t have had the balls to do with if he wasn’t friends with her.Speaking about Micah, he was currently giving me the silent treatment. I hadn’t spoken to him in two days and it was driving me nuts.Ignoring my friends, I stormed off and went in search of Micah. I found him in the parking lot. He was standing at the rear end of his car, trying to get out his football gear. He most likely had a late afternoon practice, that wouldn’t let out until late. This was my chance to talk to him.“Micah,” I huffed, approaching him. I placed my hands on my hips and tried my best to rail in my temper. The last thing I needed was for us to engage in yet another fight. Things were already pretty heated between us. And it was all that tramp’s fault.“Juliet,” Micah pursed his lips when he saw me. He was clutching his duffel bag against
Daniel's povI truged down the hallway on my way home when Lydia joined me."Hey loser," she bumped me with her waist."Hey, Lyd." I said to her ruffling her hair lovingly."Thought you'd have gone home by now.""Yeah, I had an after school club meeting…" she answered as she pooped open a lolipop and shoved in her mouth."Oh, that's right you still are part of that dead club.""It's not a dead club!" She huffed."It's a prestigious club that has lost it's touch but with my help, I'm going to revive it. Lolipop?" She asked after saying all of that in one breath.She sounded sure of herself as always and it was one trait I absolutely admired about her."Sure," I shrugged. "Thanks."I took it from her and tore yof the wrapper before taking a lick."Anyway, wanna go out today?* Lydia asked."I don't know… I have a few assignments.""So do I but I'm bored and Maya is busy helping her aunt out today.I winced at the sound of Maya's name. I had not said a single word to get today but I had
Daniel's povI opened the car door for Lydia as soon as we got to Tony's and she grinned and gave me that constipated "royal' expression she always wore whenever we went out together.I rolled my eyes at her and helped her out of the car and led her towards the entrance of Tony's.It already looked packed which was just the way I wanted it. I planned on having fun tonight without thinking about Maya or Micah or what those two could be getting up to."This place is stunning." Lydia's eyes widened as we both stepped into the bar.It had a ghotic yet futuristic feel to it that impressed me. I just knew Tony's was about to be the next big thing among the higghscoolers and college students in the pack, that is until it is finally deemed unworthy by the popular crowd."It sure is," I said, mesmerized by the tables and chates that were modelled after pods. Their placement gave the impression at first the table and chair was floating in the air.Lydia was bubbling with excitement and I found
Maya's pov.I stood at the front door of my house, waiting for Micah to arrive. The paper he'd slid to me during class today had said he'd be coming over to my place around 5pm to get me so I could go tutor him but it was already 5: 30 and I didn't want my father coming to meet us or my aunt.I frowned when it began to drizzle and went back into the house to wait.I plopped down on the couch and texted Micah, asking him where he was.He didn't text back immediately so I assumed he was probably driving.I decided to play a game on my phone while I waited for him to arrive.As I played, I couldn't help but think about Daniel. He'd ignored me the whole day in school and had also ignored my text messages. I felt like a desperate ex that couldn't take the hint.I had asked Lydia to help me talk to him and I had even seen them going home together but I still hadn't gotten a text from her.I key out a sigh, feeling out of sorts. A lot of things had happened this week that was driving me in
Maya's POV There was a palpable awkwardness between us as Daniel and I stared at each other.I shifted awkwardly and before they could look up at him again, Micah was pulling me towards Luke and his other teammates."Hey man," Luke high fived Micah and so did the other guys surrounding the snooker table."Hey, didn't realize you were coming out today." Luke said."Yeah, me either."I tuned their conversation out and my eyes shifted to where Daniel and Lydia stood.Lydia waved at me and I let go of Micah's hands but before I could take a step, he interlocked his hands in mine again, stopping me.He pulled me gently towards him and I heard the guys laugh at him, calling him a lover boy."Where are you going?" He asked in hushed tones."To my friends." I said and looked over at the snooker table but Daniel was no longer there and Lydia was practically glaring at me."You mean the one glaring daggers at you?" Micah questioned.I peered up at Micah and he looked back at Lydia. She was wal
Maya's PovI woke up the next day, feeling a bit hungover. I hadn't even drank that much tonight. Why did I feel like shit? I wondered as I dragged myself out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.As soon as I got to the vanity, I quickly turned on the tap and splashed water on my face so I'd wake up properly.I didn't feel like going to school today but I didn't have much of a choice.Aunt wouldn't stand for it and neither would my dad and neither would my perfect attendance."Plus you get to see Micah and ask him what yesterday was all about."My wolf chimed in and to my surprise she wasn't being sexual with Micah.I dragged my feet to the kitchen and found my Aunt drinking coffee."Good morning sunshine," she grinned at me."Good morning, Aunt," I yawned as I walked towards the fridge.I opened it, took out a bottle water and went to sit on one of the stools under the kitchen island."You look tired, did you get any sleep at all?"She questioned, touching my face."Yeah, a littl
Maya's pov I watched as Daniel walked past me feeling sad all over again. I had thought going to him to straighten things out would do any good but it managed to get things worse. I groaned as I massaged my temples, still wondering why the hell I had done wrong that was making Daniel so fucking upset. Lydia still hadn't said anything yet and it saddened me even more. I felt like everyone was against me for reasons I didn't quite understand, okay, I understood but everything seemed to suddenly be blowing out of proportion. I let out a tired and frustrated groan. My phone chimed in my hand and I checked to see who texted me. Micah's name appeared on my screen. I tapped the message icon to read what he'd texted. Micah; Hey, sorry about last night. Can you meet me at the library during recess so we can study? At least one person was behaving normally. I quickly sent him a text telling him that I hadn't accepted his apology just yet but that I'd be there. I turned around, about
Maya's povMicah took a seat beside me and grinned."You really are funny sometimes."He said and I made a gesture that indicated it was obvious that I was."Thank you for the flowers, I'll keep them till they wither away."Micah gave me a shocked look before bursting into laughter."You are bloody dark, you know that?" He said, it seemed like he was surprised to hear me joke about things and it made me laugh."A little bit." I grinned."So, where do we start?" Micah asked."We start by you telling me what happened yesterday?" I said, staring at him squarely in the eye."I don't want to talk about it." He said, looking away from me , all traces of humor gone from his face."You are going to have to. Your antics cost me my friendships,"He snapped his head back to me in shock."What?""Yeah, Lydia and Daniel are mad at me."I admitted."Why? Because you have a life outside of them? That's normal, Maya.""That's not it. I blew them off the day I was supposed to tutor you at your place
Omni POV Micah's eyes widened in shock as Aunt Gomez delivered the news: "Maya's gone." The bouquet of flowers he'd brought slipped from his grasp, and he stared in disbelief. "How long?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Aunt Gomez's sympathetic expression only added to Micah's distress. "Not very long, six hours ago," she replied, her voice soft and gentle. Micah's mind reeled as he struggled to process the information. "But she didn't tell me," he said, his voice laced with a mix of emotions - shock, sadness, and anger. Aunt Gomez's calming tone did little to soothe Micah's frazzled nerves. "I'm so sorry, Micah. It was really hard for her, but she had to leave. She wasn't safe here, and this place held too many painful memories. She couldn't handle the trauma anymore." Micah felt like he'd been punched in the gut. He couldn't breathe, couldn't think. His heart was shattering into a million pieces before his eyes. He saw himself begging Maya to stay, pleading with her
Maya's POV I stood outside the packhouse, trying to catch my breath. Every information I had gotten about the past had turned me into a mess to the point where I was hyperventilating. My dad had been right. I was not ready to know any of this. Not ready at all. Every information about Daniel or my mother had been a stab to the chest. It felt like I was watching a horror movie. I now understood why my father hated Micah so much. He was the spawn of the man that wanted the love of his life… I understood everything now. It was funny how the events of our parents shaped us. Why did my dad think it was even a good idea to bring me back here if he'd left this place behind? I knew exactly why. He was protecting me from Darius not realizing Darius was no longer the problem. I crouched down to the ground and let out a shaky breath. I wasn't sure how to feel anymore. We were all just born into a tragic life. I was doomed from the start. I felt Micah's presence before he spoke. “Are
Maya's POV I sat across from Micah and his dad. Now that I took a look at his father, he looked a bit like Daniel. Like he could pass off as his uncle.They had the same hair color and eye color. The only huge difference was that Micah's father was a little lighter in complexion than Daniel and he had shoulder length hair.I could see how people wouldn't realize their resemblance at first or multiple glances.Micah's eyes locked with mine and my cheeks burned.We had not spoken since I got here because my dad kept stepping in between us like Micah was going to slit my throat. Actually he hated Micah's gut but he'd refused to tell me exactly why he hated him. I still didn't quite understand it and he wasn't giving me any explanations whatsoever.It was just like my father to keep secrets even after the shit show.Whitney was still nowhere to be found but the guards and cops were at every border,looking for her.“Daniel's dairy seems to contain a lot of… information,” The Alpha began
Maya's povI placed Daniel's Diary back on the coffee table in the living room and made my way out of the room.If I thought I had been traumatized before, I was double traumatized now.What kind of father was Dariuss Fisher?Daniel's Dairy was a mess of traumatic events that he believed were his fault.He wasn't the true villain, his father was and it saddend me deeply that he believed he was the problem.There was a part he'd mentioned Micah and how he was going to get his revenge on him.The reason he wanted the pack was not because he actually wanted it for himself, it was for his father's love..I had not realized how far I had walked until I heard a car honking at me.I glanced to the side to find Micah walking towards me.My heart began to beat as he approached me.He looked different, traumatized too.“Hey, I was just coming over,” he said, looking unsure of himself…“Oh,” I said, staring at him awkwardly.He seemed just as unsure of what to do as I was.I had not spoken to
Maya's povWe were back home from the hospital two days later.I still felt lightheaded but I was better now. I could feel every part of my body and they were functioning properly now.The only part of me that felt pain was my broken heart and it was evident in my demeanor.****My aunt, Dad and I were seated at the dining table, eating in awkward silence.Both my dad and Aunt Gomez seemed to be in deep thought and the silence was almost deafening.“So, how are you feeling, Maya?” My aunt was the first to break the silence.“Uh, good. Just a bit light headed…”“Once you are done with your medications, it should be all gone.”“I hope so.” I said with a forced smile and then shoved a fork full of Pasta in my mouth.My aunt's phone buzzed on the table and she picked it up and read whatever text message she'd gotten.“What's wrong?” I asked“Uh, the police said…”“Shh.” My dad shut Aunt Gomez down immediately.I looked between both of them and they were both staring down at their plate
Daniel's pov Twelve years ago. “And the winner for this round is Darius Fisher!” The announcer announced. I clapped happily as Dad won his third game in a row. Maya clapped, too, clearly as excited as I was, even though she was supposed to be clapping for her father and not my dad. Her dad had lost twice somehow even though he was supposed to be the best. “Your daddy is really good, Danny,” she smiled wide at me and I wanted to put her smile in a jar so I could look at it whenever I wanted to. “Thank you, your daddy too.” I said to her, smiling wide. I was very happy that Dad was winning. Mom had said things would be good between us if he won and I couldn't wait. “Mom, can we get Dad something on our way home?” I looked up at my mom. She was frowning and I couldn't understand why. Dad was winning. I thought this would make her happy. Why wasn't she happy? “Mommy, are you okay?” I asked one more time. “Yes, darling, yes I am.* She finally looked at me. “Do y
Maya's pov “Hey! You shouldn't be here,” A gruff voice said at the doorway. I looked over to find a middle aged woman dressed in scrubs. “I'm sorry, I just wanted to see my friend,” I said. “I'm sorry but you are not allowed in here.” She repeated looking between us. “Please exit the room so the patient can rest,” She said this time very firmly. Micàh touched my shoulders and whispered in my ears. “I'm sorry, Maya but we have to go.” I nodded but was unable and unwilling to move. I felt like if I so much as turned around that Lydia would be gone and there would be no hope of ever seeing her again. I couldn't have that. I couldn't stand it. I'd never be able to forgive myself. “Maya?” Micah whispered again and this time pullef me yo and dragged me away gently from Lydia's bed. “We really need to go,” he said again and scooped me off the floor and carried me past the bitchy nurse and back to my room. I sat in silence for several moments, unsure of what
Maya's pov The blaring sound of sirens startled me but I I sighed in relief when I realized what it meant. The police and ambulances were finally here. My dad had called Aunt Gomez earlier telling her he'd found me in the underground house and I had heard her say that she was coming with an ambulance and the police. Micah was still not back and I was scared. I tried to mind-link him but he wasn't answering. The last time I had seen him, he'd been beating the crap out of Daniel “Maya!” Aunt Gomez screamed from a distance and ran towards me, her eyes filled with tears. She hugged me in my father's arms. “I'm so sorry, kiddo.” She cried, hugging me tightly. “Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything?” I said to her, glad to see her after days in that dark dungeon of a place. “Are you okay?” She asked. “No, but I'm just glad I'm out of there,” I said, a shiver running down my spine. “What happened?” She asked, her voice panicked as she searched my eyes. “Let
Maya's POV I woke up to find myself back in the makeshift alter for the wedding. I felt even more lightheaded than I had been before. My eyes were barely staying open. I managed to take in my sorrounding and found Juliet unconscious in a corner in a pool of her own blood Tricia was also on the floor unconscious but no blood. The priest was tied to a chair, also unconscious. Daniel was on his knees on the floor with his hand up and Finally Whitney had her special gun pointed at him. She was smiling like a maniac. The coldness in her ueys chilled my bones and all I wanted to do was get to a sage place and she wasn't even staring directly at me. She'd repeatedly called me her sister but I don't understand why. I didn't know who the hell she was. What the hell did she fucking mean? My breathing was shallow as hell and my body hurt m whatever she'd shot me with was ten time s worse thank what Daniel had injected me with earlier. I could barely engage with my sen
