The game Alex came up with was kind of funny, it was a reverse version of twenty questions. He gave the answer and I had to figure out the question. When he told me the rules I was so sure that I could win but with every attempt to answer I found out how hard it actually is.
"Twenty-one" He said smugly and I frowned. It could be anything, his birth date, the number of fights he got into, or the number of girls he dated. The late possibility got me in a bad mood and I unconsciously glared at him, "Wow, no, it has nothing to do with girls" he said putting his hands up in a defense mode, 'was I that easy to read'.
"How many fights I got into?" I asked knowing very well that I'm wrong.
"HAHA, almost."He paused for dramatic effect, "It's the number of bones I've broken so far"
"How was I supposed to know it and why would you keep a record of your broken bones?"
"Not me, Luc is the one keeping it since he's the

Maya POVAs expected Eric called me at Four Am sharp, requesting a video call. Luckily he gave me time to get my coffee first. I guess he could tell I needed it from the sound of my voice or maybe cause I didn't answer his call the first two times, who knows?Last night, more like few hours ago, I took all my work-related stuff to the living room. I didn't want to risk waking up Eliane this early. After getting my coffee along with some snacks and fruits, I sat down on the floor leaning back on the sofa. I put on my headset and called Eric back."Morning sunshine" His voice was too loud making me flinch"Morning idiot" I adjusted the volume while taking

Eliane POVI stood in front of the open fridge lost in my thoughts. My mind was already a mess from this early morning. Moving around used to feel like an adventure but this, leaving for a couple of weeks feels scary. Like I'm going to miss or lose something important if I leave.But now Maya is on a lunch date with Beta Rain. What does it mean? Are they for real? Is this why she said that we'll definitely come back here when her work is done. If it's the case, I don't even know how I should feel about it. Can I even be happy for her? I hated myself for thinking this way, I have to be happy if she's really seeing him, but still...Suggesting to leave me behind while she's working thousands of miles away and going on a date with Beta Rain felt as if she's moving on with

Maya POVOnce I was within the privacy of my room I started doing a victory dance. I didn't need any music to keep my silly act. I felt as if a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. Eliane's decision to stay behind was what made me feel this happy. Now that I don't have to worry about her I can finally submerge myself completely in work.I took a long shower, washing meticulously my hair, and scrubbing every inch in my body predicting that the next ones would be short and hurried. With the ridiculous amount of work waiting for me I would barely have a few hours of sleep at max, so no more long showers.I send a text to Eric asking him to call when he's free before going inside my closet. I put on a baggy green tracksuit and was about to exit my room when Eliane walk

Eliane POVEven though the talk I had with Maya helped ease my anxiety, I still felt a bit on edge. It must be about her business trip and my stay at Beta Rain's house. But I could easily forget about it thanks to the prolonged sleepover party. My mood was lighter and I fully enjoyed the time spent with the guys.The living room was like our base. We would be lazing around sitting or laying on the floor. We spent our time talking, playing, or just watching some movies or TV shows. Early mornings and late-night walks were also one of my favorite activities. I thought they would get bored and want to go out more but except for some urgent matters, they never left my side.Alexia and Luc would go out for about an hour in the morning and then another one in the evening.

Eliane POVI don't know how I slept through the rest of the night, but I did. When I woke up, Maya was still next to me. She was awake, looking at the bright sky through the window. Her hand was still patting my head. The guilt was slowly creeping in, I knew how tired she was and I made her watch over me the entire night."Happy birthday gorgeous!!" she said hugging me tightly and kissing the top of my head. When she released me I saw her warm smile and teary eyes. "I can't believe you're all grown up now!! Can't you stop growing? for me, please!!". I smiled back forgetting about everything else. Only she can create this little bubble and keep me away from the world."Sorry I can't I've been waiting for this day for so long." Maya laughed at my serious refusal before g

Eliane POV"We're officially friends now", Alexia said after the long hug, "I'm so glad we're cool now, I'm not good with tension". I smiled wiping my tears, I was glad too that we cleared the misunderstanding. "We should start preparing ourselves now if we want to make it in time to your party". As soon as she was done talking Luc came down with Maya's luggage and put it by the front door."Happy birthday Eliane", He awkwardly patted my head. I thanked him with a smile letting him know that we're good too. "Babe the bags are upstairs, see you later," he said before kissing Alexia and leaving. As soon as he left the house, we run to my room. We found the bag by the door. Alexia grabbed them all and started emptying them."So, show me your outfit for the party" Alexia o

Maya POVI slid down against the closed door feeling drained. I hugged my knees and let the tears flow freely. I was beyond exhausted, physically, and mentally. I barely slept the past couple of days and when I did it was full of unsettling dreams.I'm reaching my limit, I can feel it. I'm tired and in need of a break soon. A day off, no more like a week off spent crying and sleeping until all the stress is out of my system. But I still need to keep myself together for Eliane, for Eric and Eliza. It's the worst time ever to burn out.I cried for a little more before dragging my heavy body to the kitchen, made the strongest coffee, and drank it with two strong painkillers pills. I was fighting off a strong migraine since morning and I needed to get over it before my fli

Maya POVI speed walked to the kids' table needing a distraction. I had to stay away from him. I couldn't lie to myself and say that I could handle him. Something about him was attracting me to him and my curiosity always get's the better of me. It's the best thing to do, staying as far as I could from him."It's over," I told Eliane who was looking anxious."Really?","Yeah, we agreed on a settlement and we're done now.""What kind of a settlement?", Luc asked sharing a look with his sister."Indemnification from the enforcers and an official apology from everyone involved," I answered sitting down.

Maya's POV"I. HATE. YOU" I yelled with all the contempt I could muster. But still, it wasn't as hard as I intended it to be. It's kind of difficult to sound angry and hateful when I'm panting and wheezing."No, you don't! You hate the fact that neither your puppy nor stinky eyes work on me. I kinda get it now why Luca wanted me to be the one in charge of your training!" Rain laughed hard at my messy state. He was right! What I hated was the fact that I couldn't make him quit or go easy on me.After waking up, I had to go through physiotherapy for six months. And after that, Luca decided that I needed some basic training. At first, he tried to train me personally. And since I hate it, I made his life miserable. I would throw tantrums, sulk and even cry when he was pers

Eliane POV"Are you kidding me!!" Uncle Luca hissed the moment his eyes fell on uncle Rain. The latter was grinning from one ear to the other. He was enjoying the reaction of our host."Rain!! I swear..""Guys!!" I whisper yelled, gaining their attention. I glared at both of them before nodding at the stroller by my side. Uncle Luca's eyes softened immediately. He bends down, forgetting all about the oversized kid behind me."Hello there, welcome to my home." He gestured with his arms to all the area around him. The kids looked at him with awe."Thanks!" Uncle Rain responded as he grabbed our bags from the boat."Ra

Maya's POVI watched the flames dance mystically to the rhythm of the gentle breeze. The clear sky was beautifully decorated with millions of sparkling stars. The sound of the ocean's waves was soothing, making me want to dip my feet in the cold water. But I held on to the urge for later. I didn't want to disturb the sleeping beast.My fingers resumed scratching behind his ears, making him purr. I smiled, looking down on the massive Lycan. He laid down on the ground with his head on my lap and his arms wrapped around me. Luca's Lycan was completely different from his Human counterpart. Just like a child, he was always acting spoiled and willful. He would do anything to have my attention.The first time we ever met, he gifted me with a lot of different kinds of prey. I

Luca's POV"NO!! Over my dead body!!" I growled at his blatant disobedience. It was so hard not to smack some sense into him right now. The pup was more stubborn and annoying than his father."Did I ask for your permission, trainee Black?" He gulped but kept his firm stance while the rest of his teammates took a step back, quivering. This kind of strength and determination was the main reason I was a bit lenient with Rain back in the day. And now, it's like history repeating itself."She's my mate!! You do need my permission!.... Sir" He tried to sound firm, but his voice was slightly shaking."Not if I have hers," I tried to sound as arrogant as possible. His eyes moved toward Eliane, who avoided his gaze with a guil

"How did you figured it out?" I asked Alexia who had her teary eyes on her agitated mate. Alex was next to him, saying something we couldn't hear. Uncle Luca and uncle Rain were both talking animatedly on their phones."Maya's email account was hacked just once, probably to get one specific information. Meaning that they had already an idea about her whereabouts." She turned to me with a sad look in her eyes. "Paola....... she's a good kid but she's too spoiled and self-centered to see the bigger picture. She asked me several times about the gala, the venue, and other details. I knew her interest was a bit weird but I brushed it as simple curiosity." She held my hands, letting go of her tears. "I'm so sorry, I'm as guilty as her.""Alexia, no! It's not your fault! You couldn't know and besides It wasn't even a secret." I squeezed her ha

Maya POVSLAPI jolted up, feeling a hot sting on my left cheek. I tried to touch it to ease the growing pain but I couldn't move. I tried again before realizing that my hands were tied. I blinked a couple of times before trying one more time to free myself. And this time I realized that my feet were tied too. I was painfully tied with leather straps to the cursed dental chair."Did you enjoy your little nap?" Blondi stood in front of me with an insidious grin. I blinked again still feeling confused. "I would've loved to let you rest more but you know what? Now I have a curfew and guards checking on me every other hour. All. thanks. to. you!!!" SLAP. The second slap was all it took to remind me of my actual situation.
The Road To Your Heart 47
Alex's POVI watched Eliane walk confidently inside the ladies' room followed by my sister. Since the day Maya went missing, I discovered a completely different side of my mate. The cute cry baby I came to know the last few weeks was long gone. In her place stood a stronger and more confident girl. She didn't let her emotions take over and sometimes, she was even the one calming the rest of us. It was obvious how devastated she was by the loss of Maya and I could see that she was feeling guilty too. But she kept it under control, turning into a very practical girl, looking for leads and clues.I was not the only one who was impressed by this new side of hers. Everyone was fascinated too, especially the head enforcer. He was also relieved by the fact that he didn't have to comfort her in addition to looking for his mate.
The Road To Your Heart 46
Maya's POVI don't know how to describe my state of mind right now. I can even say that I'm kind of confused by the twirls of various emotions and thoughts running wildly inside my head. On one hand, I was scared to death. After all, I'm still locked inside a car in the middle of nowhere with three supernatural dangerous men. They were leading me to my doom and I had no way to defend myself. I was on the road trip to my painful death.On the other hand, I could barely hide my grin. I actually wanted to laugh and point my finger at them. My three kidnappers were arguing by the side of the road over the newfound piece of information. From the first time since the time they dragged me away, they were no longer confident or in control. They were freaked out and alarmed as they should be. I was no longer the easy prey they t

Eliane's POV"Please don't worry about it, I'll let you know as soon as we have anything new." I lost count of the number of times I said this line. This is what I kept telling him every time he calls to check on me but it's clearly not working."Eliane, are you sure? It doesn't seem right to me. Someone made this whole charade just to get her. I still think we should involve the police." He stressed again. I can understand his insistence on the matter, but this is not something the police can help with. How am I even supposed to report the case? Hello, my human guardian was kidnapped by three rogues? or I suspect one of the werewolves around us to be the mastermind? I shook my head, chasing away the last thought."Uncle Eric,L.L.Sis leading the in
