CHAPTER SEVENTY
Weary thoughts and hidden truths
Star swiped her spoon back and forth in the tiny tub of vanilla chocolate chip ice cream, too lost in her self-deprecating thoughts to comprehend that it was melting.
Max cleared his throat, “Do- do you wanna go?” Star’s eyes shot up at his uncertain tone, she forgot he was there.
“Yeah, sure.” She stood up from her seat before he could even put down his spoon and his jaw dropped. Max scrambled to catch up with her outside and when he finally pushed open the glass door, he noticed she was on the phone.
“Yeah, that’s fine, see you tomorrow.” Bidding the person goodbye, she dropped the call and turned to face Max without meeting his

Pushing backStar pushed her legs to carry her despite the screaming pain in her legs and stern orders from Doctor Snowman to give it a rest, she had to prove a point and she wouldn’t give up till she did.“Star!” Dr. Snowman approached her with an angry look on her face the moment she reached the end of the guide bars, “Are you trying to hurt yourself!” She guided her into the wheelchair.“I had to prove to myself that I could do it.” she glanced at Ray and Landon who were looking on with worry.“Star… You’re one of my most determined patients, but I have to caution you against pushing yourself too far and fast. Pulling a muscle could be the determin

Fear and favor Max walked through the packhouse on his way to the training grounds, but unlike every other morning when he did so, his pack members didn’t greet him with smiles and enthusiasm, they looked almost gloomy. Max couldn’t put his finger on it, but it was almost as if the pack was in mourning. “What’s up with everyone?” He muttered to himself when he stepped out the back door. They went about their day slower than usual which confused Max. When Max reached the training grounds he observed the way they sluggishly sparred, no one seemed into the training as he was used to and he approached Landon, knowing his Beta would have answers. “What’s going on?” He asked seriously, flooding his arms across his chest with his eyes narrowed. “Word spreads fast in packs, Max. You should know that.” Landon didn’t spare him a glance. “What word?” His frown deepened. “You didn’t spend the night at home last night.” Max froze, he knew people would notice, he didn’t however expect t

Progress and a smile“Did you enjoy today’s session?” Max asked when Star climbed into the range rover with a little effort, it took a lot for him not to help her, but she seemed to be getting more and more annoyed at him every time he tried to help her with little things.“Yeah, I really needed that, I didn’t realize how much.” She smiled sweetly and laid her head back against the rest with her eyes closed and Max found himself entranced. She looked happier than he’d seen her in days, there was a sense of peace that surrounded her which made his heart swell with love.“Are we waiting for someone?” She opened her eyes and looked around with confusion when she realized he still hadn’t started the engine and luckily fo

On her own two feet “She literally hasn’t slowed down since she got the idea in her head and it’s scary.” Max all but whined to his best friends as they watched Star rush around. When she proposed the idea of a housewarming he readily agreed to the idea simply because she asked, not knowing how he’d come to regret it. Star didn’t seem to care much about slowing down and Max fought with his instinct to protect her- even from herself, in an effort to give her some of the independence she craved, but he still worried incessantly that she would hurt or overexert herself. “I think she’s doing great, it's pretty impressive what she’s been able to achieve while still on crutches and maybe this is what she needs to get back into the swing of things.” Landon sided with her, much to Max’s annoyance. “I hate how everyone takes her side,” Max grumbled, folding his arms over his chest like a petulant child. “You do too, honey.” Donna supplied like it was yesterday’s news and Max’s scowl de

ReconnectingThe half zip white polo shirt hugged his arms in a way that made Star want to grip onto his biceps in the same way, but the way the contrasting inky black pants fit his muscular thighs leaving just enough to the imagination had her salivating in her mouth and Star had a hard time keeping her thought clean. Something about the way her mate’s tan skin glowed under the ambient lights hanging from the trees every time he threw his head back laughing at something a pack member said made Star’s breath catch.“Keep staring at me like that and you’ll be ending this party a lot earlier than you planned, babe.” Star shivered at his voice in her head and found herself in awe at how cool he looked, never once giving away the arousal she heard in his words. She qu

StarstruckTaking a deep breath, Star pulled open the ensuite door, holding her breath as the bedroom came into view. Max’s back was turned to her and Star admired the way the muscles on his back flexed with every slight movement, if he heard her come into the room, he made no indication and for a moment all the nerves she felt flew out the window. The air in the room was different somehow, but seeing him standing there calmly brought her a sense of composure.Her silky nightgown cooly brushed against her skin as her legs carried her closer to him and with a final intake of air, she placed the tips of her manicured fingers between his shoulder blades.Max stilled under her fingers, shocked by the bold move. They’d been teasing one another all night and he silently

The Afterglow“There’s something different about you today. It's like you’re shitting rainbows.” Landon cackled and shook his head, not really paying heed to his own words, but the same could not be said for the others who surrounded them.“Stop bullshitting Landon.” Max waved him off but was stopped by Britney’s voice.“No, no, Landon’s right, you are unusually energetic.” She narrowed her eyes at her Alpha who simply rolled his eyes and ignored them.“No way…” Landon’s jaw dropped open and he stared at Max with disbelief and excitement.“What?” Brit

An outsider No matter how hard she tried, Star could not concentrate fully on the task at hand which didn’t bode well for her since she had a deadline that was fast approaching. “Knock, knock.” Greg’s voice startled her, but a smile quickly blossomed on her face upon seeing him in the doorway. “Hey, come in.” Greg closed the door behind himself and took a seat in his usual chair on the opposite end of Star’s desk. “Alpha Max said you needed some help?” Star nodded solemnly. “Yeah, I’ve contacted all the suppliers on our database and a few new ones, so far no one can match the prices we're looking at, but there’s one company that isn’t on the database that is willing to supply us at a reasonable price if we can guarantee future business. Now I know we do from time to time set up contracts with providers, but I can’t find the contract template we use so that I can map out the agreement before I present it to the board.” Star sighed and Greg shook his head with a disbelieving smi
