The door flew open and Julia, Bella and the two bodyguards came running inside the office. Julia rushed to my side and held Maya's hand with her shaky hands, her eyes watering with tears.
" What's wrong, Julia? " Bella asked and Julia dropped Maya's hand, sitting on the floor as she ruffled her hair.
" There is no pulse, I feel no pulse, Bella, " she informed as beads of tears fell from and Bella shoulders dropped. She raised her head to look at me, her eyes reddened, before she rushed to me and grabbed me by the collar
" What did you do to her? " She cried, a drop of tears leaving her eyes and staining her cheeks. " I said, what the fuck did you do to her? " She yelled at me and I raised my hands in defense.
" I did nothing, Bella. I came here and met her like this, that was why I screamed the way I did, " I defended and she scoffed.
" S
MAYAI watched Victor go pale as I explained everything to him. He was silent, no word coming from him and for the first time in five years, I badly wanted to use the mindlink to know what he was thinking." Why didn't you tell me? " He asked after a moment of uncomfortable silence." I was trying to gather myself, but it was hard for me to. That was why I ended up crying on the phone as I couldn't control myself anymore. I'm scared, Victor, I don't know what I'll do if I lose Ethan, " I told him and he licked his lower lip, going silent again." What proof do you have that Ethan's kidnapping was Serena's doing? " He asked and I wanted to ignore that question, but for some reasons, I decided not to." I don't have any solid proof aside from a recording of her threatening to get rid of Ethan. If I did, I would have reported her to the coun
VICTOR BLOODBORNEShe gave me an assurance.Something to make me work harder, she liked me too, she wanted another chance with me, something I would never miss for the world." Inform the trackers to hasten the search for Serena, the faster the better, " I ordered Nelson as soon as I got into the house and he raised his head to look at me." You're back, " he said upon seeing me, not bothering to stand up from where he was sitting and I nodded, walking to him. " How did he go? " He asked as I sat down on the couch." It went better than I expected, " I told him, smiling like a highschool boy in love." That's surprising. You came back from the Moonfire Pack and you're smiling. What did she say was wrong with her? Why was she crying? " He questioned." Ethan has been kidnapped, " I announced and hi
" Alpha, " the head tracker rushed in and bowed in respect. " We found out something regarding Mr Unkar and Luna Serena, " he announced.I stared at Nelson, who was also staring at me, before turning back to the head tracker." I'm listening, what did you find out? " I asked him, wondering what the both of them had in common." It appears that Luna Serena was the last person who visited Mr Unkar before he left the current house he was staying in, " he informed me and I turned to stare at Nelson again.Serena and Unkar had nothing to discuss with each other, the only thing they've ever said to each other was good morning." She probably had her reasons, " Nelson stated, trying to assure me that it wasn't something bad, but I knew it would take more than words to do that.ÆawWhy did she go to see him? Why didn't she infor
MAYA " Maya, you're getting skinny. You not eating would not solve the issue at hand, " Julia scolded and I smiled sadly, not knowing what she expected me to do. My son was nowhere to be found, I couldn't just eat like everything is fine, when it isn't. Ethan eats six times everyday, breakfast, before lunch, lunch, before dinner, dinner and after dinner. And I don't even know if he had eaten once today or if he had eaten to his fill. " When Ethan comes back, I'll eat then, " I assured her and she groaned out in frustration. " You will starve yourself until then? Have you forgotten that you are not just a mother, but also an Alpha and the Pack needs you? Our future Alpha is also missing and we're doing all we can to find him. Do you want to die and worsen everything? What would Ethan do if he comes back and his mother isn't here anymore? " She yelled, scolding me.
" What do you mean by that? How did they manage to get past the guard at the border? " Julia asked and he bowed his head." I don't know either. It seems as if they masked their scent to avoid being caught, " he explained." Even if they did, not a single person saw them? Why is the security of this Pack so weak? " She yelled and he kept quiet, saying nothing again. " A five year old boy was kidnapped by two non pack members who came into this pack to take him away and no one saw him? Do you deserve to be called guards? " She scolded again and he fell to his knees." Forgive me, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, I failed in tightening the security of this pack and because of that, our future Alpha's life has been put in risk. I promise that I'll do everything I can to bring him back to this pack, even if it costs my life, " he assured and I folded my arms, observing him." You would ris
VICTOR BLOODBORNE" Where do you think Unkar and Serena would be keeping Ethan? " I asked Nelson and he shrugged, saying nothing. I couldn't blame him though, I asked a silly question."It's almost a week and we haven't gotten any leads yet. Their whereabouts is unknown, let alone where they are keeping Ethan. I'm beginning to think they have left this place, " he said instead, yawning uncontrollably and I pursed my lips, not uttering a word.We hadn't slept well ever since I found out that Serena and Unkar were working together and as hard as I thought about it, I couldn't find any reason that would make the both of them work together." We should at least be able to find out where they are staying, it would be easier to find out about Ethan's whereabouts after that, " he added and I couldn't help but think he was right.The trackers have been up all
" Maya, we have found them. The trackers have found them, " he announced happily and my eyes widened in surprise. I looked at Julia who was also looking at me, her eyes also widened.I wasn't expecting it at all. Even though it was good news, it came as a shock to me." Are you sure about it? " I asked him, standing up from the chair." We haven't confirmed it yet, but I wanted to tell you so we can go together, " he replied and I nodded, even though he couldn't see me." I'll be there in a few hours. You can inform your men to give you a short briefing of everything before I get there, " I suggested." I also plan on doing that. You should take your time, I heard you were sick, " he said and I glared at Julia, whom I'm sure was the only one who could dare to reveal such a thing to Victor." It's nothing you should bother you
VICTOR BLOODBORNE" You're here, " I announced, standing up from the sofa I was sitting on to welcome both of them. " I didn't know Julia would be coming with you, " I pointed out and she smiled sheepishly at me. I smiled back at her, glad by the fact that things no longer felt awkward between the both of us." She insisted that she was going to come. We came later than we were supposed to, there were things we had to do first before coming here, " Maya said and I turned to her, observing her features. She had lost so much more weight since the last time I saw her, which indicated that she hadn't been eating well because of the incident." Julia, has Maya not been eating at all lately? She seems to have lost some weight since the last time I saw her, " I asked and Julia nodded, pouting." We have begged her to eat something, but she has refused. She is always sad and yelli
Chapter 229MAYAThe next day, Victor woke me up with his hands in my sleep shorts. I moaned and he made quick work of turning me into a quivering mess.He had gotten very good at this. I smiled as he came up and planted a hard kiss on my smiling lips."Come on, we're going on a date. To make up for the last one that was interrupted," he said, hoisting me up.I smirked, liking that he didn't ask this time way more than I was willing to admit. I jumped into the bathroom and I took a long shower. One longer than I expected because I shaved everywhere and everything.It was when I was picking an outfit I remembered I didn't ask him what type of date it was. So settle on cargo pants and a cute crop top that I tied up in the back. It was secure in case I needed to tackle anyone but still very cute.I went down for breakfast, which was eggs, br
Chapter 228MAYAWe set out early the next day. The trip was chill, mostly because I connected to the car's sound system and I was able to play my own music. I had great song choices.But Bella wasn't relaxed. She kept tapping her feet while looking out the window. I would gently point it out and she would stop after apologizing only to start a few minutes later. I gave up after the fourth time. I'd even caught her almost putting her cute purple nails in her mouth once or twice.I didn't know what she was worried about. She was a nice, pretty girl. She had done her hair up in a ponytail and curled it. She was wearing a black t-shirt with cute denim shirts and black Nikes.I immediately came down to stretch my spine when we arrived. But after a full body stretch I noticed that Bella was still sitting stiffly in the car.And Nelson has
MAYAI went back to my room and laid down staring at the ceiling. I hadn't realized that they thought that way about me. I wasn't mad or sad, it was just something I had to accept. I was roused out of my musings when someone knocked."Who is it?" I yelled."It's me, Victor," he replied.A small smile began to spread on my face. "Come in."He pushed the door open and made a beeline for me. He kissed me and then lay down beside me. "Hey.""Hey. Where have you been?" I enquired."I went for a run. Then a quick dip in the stream. Very nice.""That sounds lovely."He must have heard something in my voice because he sat up, then propped his head on his palm and looked at me. "Are you ok?" Victor asked, cocking his head.I almost told him but what would th
MAYABella walked downstairs rubbing her eyes. She stopped in her tracks when she saw us in the kitchen, surprised to see us for some reason, and then straightened."Good morning," she greeted and walked to the fridge, rooting around in itI looked over to Julia to confirm if I was the only one who thought she was almost cold. Julia's brow was furrowed, the expression on her face mirroring what I thought mine would be.Lily cleared her throat. "Excuse me Alpha," she whispered and walked out of the kitchen without looking back. She also thought Bella was being weird."Is something the matter?" I asked."Nope," Bella answered quickly.Now that was definitely a little curt. I wasn't in the mood to walk around the issue so I came out and stated my mind."I think there's something going on and I'm not going to
MAYAI woke up very early the next morning, feeling so sleepy even though I knew that it would be so difficult for me to go back to sleep. I quickly freshened up and went downstairs, going to the kitchen to take a bottle of water." Good morning, Lily, " I greeted her, going to the fridge to grab the bottled water." Good morning, Alpha. You woke up early today, you couldn't sleep? " She asked." I just felt so excited this morning that I couldn't help but wake up early. And what's with the formalities? Do you really have to call me that when we go way back with each other? " I asked and she chuckled." I just felt it would be comfortable for me to call you that since you're my boss, " she answered." Whatever makes you comfortable. How do you like your work? Is it too stressful? Is anyone being rude to you? " I asked but she shook her head." Surprisingly, no. They are all respectful and nice, and I don't regret coming here with you. I have a good and comfortable place to sleep, I ea
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR (224)MAYAAfter I was done talking with Ken and he had agreed to do exactly as I had told him to, I left his room, heading to Julia's.I knew she would be asleep already, but I still felt the need to talk to her that night and not the next day." Maya, what are you doing here? " She asked as she came to open the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes. I entered the room without saying anything, sitting on the sofa." I came to talk to you, " I answered, raising my head to look at her." Tonight? Can't you wait till tomorrow morning? It's pretty late and everyone is fast asleep, so let's just talk tomorrow morning, " she suggested, but I shook my head, not willing to listen to her." I need to talk to you tonight, I might not have the chance to do that tomorrow morning. You should sit down and listen to me, I won't take much of your time, " I promised and she heaved out a sigh before sitting on the bed." Why didn't you tell me? " I asked and she raised a br
MAYAI froze in my seat upon hearing what Ken said. I wasn't expecting that kind of confession from him, especially since I came to his room with the intention of trying to urge him to propose to Julia so that they can get married." That was unexpected, " I blurted out as I didn't know what to say. He opened his eyes slowly, staring at me with a confused expression." You're not angry? " He asked and I shrugged, still speechless." I don't just know how to respond to what you said since I wasn't expecting that kind of confession from you. But you must have a reason for wanting to break up with her, so I can't get angry at you just like that, " I told him." You didn't even ask me why I said that, " he pointed out and I snorted." Of course, I would ask you as I believe that I deserve to know. I was just trying to gather my thoughts in one piece to avoid it shattering again, " I responded and took a deep breath, closing my eyes. Upon opening it back, I clasped my hands together, raisi
MAYAEveryone went silent after hearing my announcement. Happiness filled Carissa's eyes, but Julia was cringing in disgust, staring at me." Hey, why would you even think of pairing Bella with Nelson? They are obviously incompatible, " she pointed out and I felt the need to correct her on that." What makes you think they're incompatible? Have they met each other? Why would you say something like that and try to jinx it? " I scolded." I'm not jinxing anything, Maya, I'm just stating the fact. Bella isn't cool headed, neither is he, " she argued." But they haven't met with each other yet. No one can predict what their feelings would become. Besides, what's wrong with Nelson? He's a cool guy, he is competent and has a lot of potential, " I retorted." But…… " she tried to argue again, but I was quick to stop her." Just because you don't like Nelson doesn't mean he is a bad person, Julia, " I told her." I'm not saying he is a bad person, I was just trying to voice out my opinion on
MAYAWithout wasting any more time, Victor and I began to pack our bags, making preparations to travel back to the Moonfire Pack." Why do you guys have to leave so early? I was glad that I wouldn't be lonely in this big house anymore and you're leaving again? " Nelson whined, pouting and I engulfed him in a hug." That's why I have been urging you to find a woman you want to settle down with. Stop having flings and one night stands anymore, you should get married to avoid being lonely during times like this anymore, " I advised and he instantly pulled away from me." No, thank you, I'm not ready to commit myself to a lady yet, " he admitted and I nodded, handing my bags over to him." Then, die in loneliness, " I spat out before walking out of the house.Victor helped us out our things in the back of the car before entering the dr
