Maya's POV The next day. I woke up to the sound of the door opening. Daniel walked in majestically. I hated his guts Seeing him alone made me angry and made my stomach curl. He had betrayed me so hard that I did not think I could trust anyone ever again in my life. He looked me in the eye and gave me a cheeky smile like we were still buddies, like he hadn’t conspired with my enemy and kidnapped me. bodies. I glared at him, still angry that he still had the audacity to look at me after all he had done. We weren’t friends any more. “What’s wrong Maya? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“ What do you want? Have you come to tell me how You are going to marry me against my will again?” I snapped, glaring daggers and hellfire at him.“On the contrary,’ he chuckled, “I brought you some food. Can’t stand the fact that you are hungry and haven’t had a proper meal in days.” He said, his expression one of pity.“ How generous of you” I said dryly. Even though I was starving in hell. M
Daniel’s POV “You know, I haven’t seen Micah anywhere in school since the fight between him and Maya, I wonder why, ” I said to Lydia the next day in the cafeteria as I munched on my Turkey sandwich. “That’s true. Stupid boy probably too embarrassed to show his face in school after that punch you gave him.” Lydia laughed at her own joke. “Probably. It’s a good thing, anyway.” I shrugged. “Sure is, I was tired of seeing his face, especially after what he did to Maya. He’s such an obnoxious fool. I have no idea what Maya sees in him. His father is way better.” “The Alpha? Isn’t he like non existent in his life?” I asked. “I guess you are right but our pack is one of the best because of him.” I gave Lydia a confused look but didn’t ask anymore questions. “Hey, Lydia” a petit girl I had seen around Lydia and Maya greeted as she walked over to our table. She had brown hair with blue big eyes and she was barely taller than the table. “Hey Daniel.” She waved at me before
Juliet's povMy phone rang as soon as I parked my car a few meters away from the woods and I quickly picked up. It was Tricia."What do you want Tricia?"I asked, getting out of my car and slamming the door behind me."The little witch in here won't stop screaming." She growled, clearly upset about something."Maya?" I questioned as I made my way towards where Daniel and I were supposed to meet to discuss Micah."Yes, she's been yelling all day. I'm this close to shooting her." She grumbled.I rolled my eyes at her."Ignore her or threaten her, I don't know," I snapped.I had more important things to take care of than a screaming Maya. She could scream her head off for all I care and I still wouldn't carem my only priority right now was getting Micah to mark me."I've tried that."She sighed. "She's choosing to be annoying and I can't take it anymore!" She whined."Tricia, you have one job, watch her and ignore her silly antics. You don't actually expect me to help you with that too,
Micah's POV I pulled myself out of bed, feeling much better than I had in days physically, but worse off emotionally. I still hadn't spoken to Maya in days. I had been on my way to Maya's two days ago when I had fallen Ill thanks to the new cook. She'd not been informed that I was allergic to shellfish and so for two days, I was bed ridden and had almost died. I needed to go find Maya and explain myself. I could no longer give myself the excuse of being bed ridden even though I had texted her non-stop since the day she broke up with me. A knock soon sounded on my door. "Come in." I yelled, knowing it was probably one of the maids. The door opened and as I had suspected, Freya walked in with a tray of chicken pepper soup and medications. "Good morning young master, breakfast is served," she said, carefully laying the tray on my bedside table. "Thanks Freya," I sighed. She bowed and walked out. I took a seat, ate my breakfast and then took my medication as soon as I was done
Lydia's POV As soon as the closing bell rang, I ran outside class in search of Daniel. We were supposed to go over to Maya's to check on her. I texted Daniel as I made my way to his locker to find him. He wasn't there nor was he returning my texts. Did he forget about our mission? I wondered as I glanced around trying to find him. Maybe he was waiting for me at the parking lot. I walked out of the school building and immediately found Daniel walking beside Juliet towards his car. I frowned at the odd scene. They seemed to be invested in the conversation they were having. Without wasting any more time, I made my way towards them, annoyed by how cozy they both seemed. "Hey," I got in between them, glaring at Juliet. "Hey," Daniel answered and I glanced at him with narrowed eyes. "Didn't realize that you are now friends with… her." I uttered in a condescending tone. He averted his gaze like I had caught him doing something wrong which in retrospect, I had. "Um, no, we are
Daniel's POV I stepped into the small cell where Maya was and put on the light.The room immediately lit up and Maya who was seated in the corner looked up at me with disdain in her eyes."Glad to see you too" I quipped , leaning against the door frame, my hand folded around my chest."I'm not." She spat instantly, still glaring at me like she was staring at the devil himself.She looked tired and stressed out and her eyes were puffy and covered with dark circles."So stubborn."I quipped, shaking my head in amusement.I walked towards her andI stopped in front of her, a smile appearing on my face."What do you want?" She asked, her tone aggressive and filled with irritation."Just came to see how you are doing. Whitney tells me you've been yelling and refusing to eat.""And why do you care?" She askef."I care because you belong to me and I don't want you sickly before I even get the chance to mark you.""Why are you doing this, Daniel? What did I ever do to you? How could you betr
Micah's povI tried to wriggle myself out of the handcuffs holding me in place but everything I tried was completely useless.It was like I was glued to the pool rather than handcuffed to it. It didn't help that the room was pitch black.I had woken up just an hour ago and had found myself in here, memories of what happened had been instant too. It was all Juliet.What I didn't understand was why?Why bring me here?I was going to kill her once I got out of these impossible restraints.The whole thing didn't make sense to me.Why abduct me and for what purpose?I had no idea what she was planning but I was going to kill her if she tried anything funny.Which reminded me! Why did she have Maya's phone?I suddenly thought, realizing that she'd been the one that texted me and not Maya.Something fishy was going on but what?I tried again to get out of the lock, unlocking my Alpha super strength this time but it was useless.I couldn't get it to break. The cuffs were laced with wolfbane.
Lydia's povI woke up to the sound of my alarm clock ringing or at least that's what I thought until I picked up my phone from a near by the dresser and saw that it was a phone call from Aunt Gomez.Quickly, I stood up and picked up."Good morning, Aunt Gomez… I've been trying to reach you."I said as soon as I picked up the call."Good morning, Lydia. Have you seen Maya recently?" She asked in a calm voice that scared me more than it should have."Um, not really. I was actually at your house just yesterday to find her but you weren't there. Did something happen?" I asked, shooting from my bed in worry."No, no. Everything is okay. One last question, did she tell you she was going anywhere the last time you saw her?""Not really…what's going on, Miss Gomez? Is everything alright.""I'll call you back, Lydia."She said and immediately hang up.I stared down at my phone in confusion.Did something happen to Maya?I wondered silently, my heart rate increasing in an unhealthy rhythm.I ne
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
