Mia’s POVI ran with all my strength as soon as I saw that my parents had been killed. It was finished. What was I alive for? The pack was on fire, and I wished all this did not happen. Suddenly, I heard a hissing sound, and I sharply turned around. What was that? My heart pounded in my head as my eyes went in all directions. Then I noticed movement in the back of my eyes. I turned sharply, and I wasn’t surprised to find a snake. I moved slowly out of there without making a sound. I didn’t have anti-venom in my blood. Those were only for Alphas, and unfortunately, I wasn’t one, though I was born by two Alphas. My parents did a good job of hiding me, but I knew that one day I would need to be on my own. I guess that day was today. I didn’t want to think about my parents. I just wanted to survive.As I tried to find an okay place to sit, I looked all around. My wolf is not really out because I am still transitioning. Now we were being attacked. I hope I do not find myself in a worst-cas
Mia’s POVI woke up suddenly, every thought in high definition. I squinted as the sun hit my retinas. I took in every ray of light, and without a doubt, I knew I had slept too long.My clothes were wet, and sweat was all over my skin, like some skin care lotion. I ran my hands across my face.“What a horrible dream," I thought. Then I rubbed my hands over my eyes. Maybe I wasn’t seeing well. I tried to steady myself. There was a guy in the room. No, scratch that. There were guys in the room. And they were all staring at me.“Please let me go! Don’t hurt me!” I cried out as I shrunk back to the bed.“Calm down, dear. No one is going to hurt you,” a cute-looking guy said as he tried to assure me, but that made it more creepy.Half of the time, people said they wouldn’t hurt anyone, but eventually they did."Okay, tell us who you are and get quick about it,” a voice growled. I turned. I knew that voice.“No! No! This can’t be happening!” I used a pillow to shield myself from him. He was
Nora’s POVI watched as Jake made his way into the house. Looking closely at him, I noticed that he had a scar on his mouth. What could have prompted that? I wondered. He still has the charming smile that always makes my heart flutter.“Hi baby," he began, but I cut him off.“Don’t call me that.” I couldn’t hide the disgust in my voice. How dare he call me that? He raised his hands in mock innocence and smiled devilishly.“I’m sorry, Nora.” I nodded at him.“How have you been, Nora?” He asked as his eyes raked over my body. His eyes shone as he looked at me, like I was done with shiny new metal or something.“I am exactly where you left me, Jake.” I snapped at him and folded my hands over my chest. He walked across the room and sat beside me. He tilted my face towards him, and I had no other option but to stare at him.“I am sorry for what I have done to you, Nora. I have had time to regret my actions, and all I have been filled with is ‘I wish’. I hope you can believe me,” he said.I
Jake’s POV“Fuck Maria...” I groaned. I had been in the shower after a tiresome day at the Nexton pack. Waiting for Nora while dealing with Michael was not the best way to spend a day, but at least my aim was achieved.Now I could hate Maria all I wanted but fucking her was one thing I always looked forward to. “Do you like that?” She purred like a cat as she batted her lashes as she rode me. She was so good at it. She could stay longer.“Stop. Doing. That,” I groaned. She knew what I was talking about. She knew that whenever she acted all innocent while she was riding me, it always got me off. She continued doing that. It always reminded me of Nora when we were dating. The sheer innocence“Oh fuck! You are so sweet." I groaned in between sentences as she began moving faster.Then I emptied myself into her. I signed deeply as I leaned on my hands to give her a deep kiss.“I bless the day I found out that I was your mate,” Maria said in between kisses as I began nibbling on her neck.
Michael’s POV"Mia, drink this.” I handed her a drink in the metal cup. She shook her head vigorously. Her refusal would land her in big trouble.“Come on, drink it. The journey is long. We still have to pass through the water falls,” I implored. She stared at me and then began to smile. Slowly, she gulped down the vegetable extract without throwing up. I gave her a thumbs-up and smiled. She had grown. The Mia I knew would never take medications, even if she had to die if they weren’t taken. Her father always sedated her for a subsequent number of days while she was sick and fed her medicine."Hi, Mia,” Hercules said as he walked by, and Mia gave him a weak smile. Just then, I knew that was my cue to leave."Alright, Mia, why don’t you have some sleep?” She nodded and closed her eyes. I stood up and walked to the front of the tent, where we were camping for the night.“Zen said that we still had food for the next day." Hercules glanced at me before he continued watching the moon.“It
Michael’s POV“Who the hell allowed that dog into my pack?” I growled. They were all gathered in the strategy room. It was a pity that I couldn’t say hi to Nora. I asked Hercules to take Mia upstairs while I had a short meeting with the guards.They had not said a word to me. Their heads were bowed. Yes, no werewolf dared look me in the face as I scolded them. I almost killed one when there was an attack on the pack.“Speak!” I thundered, and I saw some of them shaking like leaves."Your highness, it was not our fault. Jake had come into the pack when you were around, and when he came again, he tried to force his way in. He had told us that he knew you were not in the pack, so he could whisper something to another pack, and it would be a full-blown attack. His only condition to not do that was to just see Miss Nora. So we allowed him.”For a split second, my mind went through all the possibilities of what would happen when there was an attack. Dylan. Nora.“Get out of my sight,” I sna
Chapter 25Nora’s POVClaire was already in the cab, when I got to the front of the house.“You okay?” she asked.“Yea, come let’s go” I said as I hailed a taxi. The party was lit. The twins had left no stone unturned. Unfortunately after a few cocktails, I started to see things in twos. Just before we left, a man pushed me and spilled the contents of his cup on me. Claire helped me call a cab and he drove me home. I was praying Dylan doesn’t see me like this. Michael would not stop. He would call me a bad mother and give me an earful. I did the sign of the cross, as walked passed Dylan’s room. He was fast asleep. I walked to my doorstep to find Michael sitting there down the staircase. It was the sight of him that made me sober up a bit.“Michael?” I called out to him.“ Hey Nora” he said as he stared up at me.“Hi, yea I’m sorry to show up like this at the house. I just needed to get changed” I said. I was about to say something but then he wrinkled his nose.“I know I smell
Nora’s POVWHAT!Michael was kissing me. What does that mean? What about the LUNA? What is MIA?He kept asking me to kiss me back with his tongue. And yes, why wouldn’t I? This was a memory I knew would be stuck in my head for a long time. Why not enjoy it? He grabbed the back of my head and kissed me with reckless abandon.When I opened my eyes again, Michael was staring down at me.I lowered my eyes.“That was what I always wanted to do, ever since I saw you in Dylan’s class,” he said.Suddenly, for a weird reason, I became extremely shy. It was like I had stripped myself of my underwear. He tilted my face upward and smiled. He came closer, and I moved back. He grabbed my hands and pushed me towards him. I only had to look up again, and we would be kissing again.“I’m sorry if I invaded your space, but I’m not sorry I kissed you. I don't regret it for a second. I moved back a little and smiled.“It’s no problem,” and immediately I began to draw maps on the ground."I'm happy; there'
