Daniel's pov"You look good, Dan." Lydia wiggled her brow as she got into my car."Thanks, You don't look so terrible."I teased her.She narrowed her eyes at me and hissed."We both know I look great."She snapped and I couldn't help but laugh."So fiesty." I said and zoomed off towards Brad's party."Did Maya still respond to your text?"I asked Lydia."Nope, pretty sure she's still working."Maya had informed me that she wouldn't be able to come to the party but I had thought Lydia would have been able to get her out of the house.We got to the party and even before we got out of the car, we could hear the sound of music playing.We were only thirty minutes late but it seemed the party was already in full swing.I opened my car door and rounded the car to the passenger's side to open the door for Lydia.I helped her down and led her down to the frontier door that was wide open."Dan!" I heard Brad yell above the music from a distance. I tried to find his voice and watched as he mad
Micah's povI stared at Brad, surprised at how much sense he was making.."Brad! We need more drinks inside," a scantily clad girl called out to Clad."Sure, Honey. I'll be there in a sec.""Alrighty," she giggled."I have to go, man but don't forget to tell her the truth. You don't want to be that guy, trust me. I'm speaking from experience.""Yeah, thanks, man ." I nodded.He nodded and then walked back into the party leaving me in the partio and took a swig 0f my beer, staring into space as I replayed Brad's advice.He was right as hell. I needed to speak to Maya and come clean. If I wanted something serious with her, I had to let her know of my transgressions.I exhaled out.I had really backed myself into a corner on this one.I drank another gilp 0f my beer before going back into the party.****The next day in school, I waited patiently for class to end so I could speak to Maya.She looked like she was in a bad mood and I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong.She had walked
Chapter 72Maya's pov"Where are you off to?"My aunt asked from the couch."Out to tutor Micah,"I answered, turning around to look at her.""Of course." She said in a disapproving tone.I didn't have time to go back and forth with her because Micah was already waiting outside for me."Well, um, bye," I waved at her and left through the front door.Micah was leaning against his car, his hands folded around his chest when 8 cane out the door He glanced up at me and grinned as I approached him.He looked so handsome as the sun bathed his dark hair."Hey," he said as I looked down at me."Hi, sorry I'm late. My aunt was being nosey."He chuckled lightly."Can't blame her. I wish my parents were nosey.""Trust me you don't." I scrunched up my nose.I got into his car and he zoomef off my driveway into the road.I glanced at Micah and he was staring intently at the road.My hands moved of their own Accord and I combed his hair with my fingers, fascinated by how mesmerizing he looked.He
Maya's pov As soon as Micah locked the door behind us, I pulled him back against me and claimed his lips. "So impatient," he grunted as his hands circled my waist and pulled me up against him. The feel of his touch once again sent delicious shivers down my spine. With our proximity, his scent was more potent drawing me more into his orbit. I could ha6dine whatever he wanted in that moment and my wolf wouldn't even judge me. "Your body, Maya…" he breathed out like a starved man that had just gotten bread. "So fucking soft." He whimpered as he unzipped my dress. His tongue tangled with mine, sucking and licking and biting. I could barely breathe and neither coild he. "Micah…" I breathed, my voice husky and laced with lust and a lot Goosebumps deckrsted my skin as he continued to ravish me. My nipples hardened, impatiently waiting for him to pay attention to them and Micah didn't disappoint. He took off my shirt and picked me up from the ground so that I was straddling him
Micah's povI stretched my limbs as my eyes fluttered open.It was morning already.I glanced over to my left and Maya was sound asleep.I grabbed her by the waist and dragged her towards me, kissing her cheeks.Her eyes opened and she smiled up at me, touching and carressing my face.I turned my head and kissed her palms, while looking into her eyes.My Goddess, I was completely and utterly whipped by her.Just being next to her made me feel like a little boy with his crush."What's the time?*She asked, her voice barely a whisper.Her early morning drawl was sexy as hell. I could already feel my cock twitching."Time to sleep in with me because I'm not letting you leave."I said to her, running my hands through her luscious locks."Hmmm. Tempting but I have commitments today like school."Right… that was a thing.Back to the real world, I guess…But I didn't want to be back. I wanted to cuddke with Maya all day and make love and eat, shoeerr together and continue the cycle.That sou
Micah's pov"I'm sorry Maya, but I have to tell you the truth. See, my friends and I had this bet where I had to sleep with you to prove I can get any woman and…No!"I shook my head as I facepalmed myself.That was definitely a terrible way to start. Maybe I should have written this down or something.Fuck!"Bro come on. or we'll be late for midterms." Ted yelled from outside my car.Meeting him at the botique had been an incredibly close one.He'd given me a knowing smile when he'd seen Maya wearing my clothes.I knew before class ended that he would have told the whole school about it and I need to tell Maya before she heard it from anyone else."Yeah, on my way."Maya had already rushed to class to keep a seat for me and Ted.I turned of the ignition if my car and came down, meeting Ted halfway to the hallway."So, you finally did it, huh?""Did what?" I asked, trying to stall from telling him the truth."Don't play dumb with me, bro." Ted glared playfully."Look,.man. you can't
Maya's povI found an empty classroom and made my way indsie and immediately answered my father's call."Hey, Dad," I said, excited to hear from after a while "Hey, kiddo. How are you?" His voice poured out of the phone."Good, good."I said, a smile on my face.I had not heard from him in a while and had even been planning to call him later this week to check on him but now that he'd taken the initiative to call, it felt very good."Does this have anything to do with the boy you are seeing?" He asked.I froze, wondering where my father had gotten that information from.I didn't need to think far because it was obvious that It was my aunt that had told him.I groaned internally. She just had to open that big mouth of hers, didn't she?I frowned, annoyed by her action.She could never really keep her mouth shut. She was even worse at throwing surprise parties."I don't know what you are talking about, dad," I swallowed, hoping he'd believe me."Sure about that?" He asked but In a t
Daniel's POV I hated the fact that I had to make Maya cry but it was the only way to get through her.She was too obsessed with Micah and he wasn't good for her.I watched as he broke down in front of me, feeling a little guilty for cutting out the parts of the video that might have made the blow less painful but it didn't matter.Micah was still an absolute jerk and didn't deserve Maya. I had no idea what she saw in him. He was a bully.I moved to console her but she stepped away from me as if I was the problem in this scenario and not Micah."This isn't real." Her voice broke.I rolled my eyes at her. Even when there was clear evidence in front of her she was still sticking with Micah. It was infuriating but I kept my cool."Of course,why am I not surprised? I forgot how blind you are when it comes to Micah."Part of me wanted to walk out on her but what good would that do her, my heart wouldn't let me.I cared about her way too much to walk out on her even though I was upset."It'
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
