Hi :) please VOTE/REVIEW AND COMMENT. Thankyou for reading this chapter:)
Nina’s pov- Today had dragged on, might I add more than usual. I swear the days in Texas where somehow getting longer than the days that we had back in the city, or that is how it felt right now anyway. Earlier I had spent the entire of my lunch break with Kat, filling her in on everything that has happened since the party on Saturday night whilst she relentlessly apologised to me for leaving me on the side of the road and blaming the behaviour on her lack of female friendships. Which was fair play, but she truly didn’t have anything to apologies to me for because I willingly wanted to be left at the side of the road, maybe at the time not with Maverick but that turned out to be a good thing and it was what it was, we couldn’t change back time anyway. Eventually I had to appease her and accept her apology in hopes she would stop verbally pecking my head with her constant apologising. Thinking about my school day was Hella depressing and the fact that my day hasn’t got any better sinc
Mavericks pov- The second Nina got the go ahead for a break I took her hand in mine. I wasn’t going to give her the chance to back out, and secretly I was pleading with the moon goddess that the skin contact and the mate bond between me and her would help my cause. My wolf was still fired up, Lucas’s scent was all over this place meaning that he was close by, close by to our mate and the shifter side of me didn’t like that one bit. I pushed through the door holding it open for her and to my dismay she took the chance to slip her hand from mine in order for her to wrap her arms around herself, the chill in the air hitting her bare arms and legs. “Let’s make this quick because its cold out here” she glanced around, a few stray people hovering by as they smoked their cigarettes and conversed with each other. “Maybe we should walk a little, or sit in the warmth of the jeep?” I suggested sensing that she didn’t want an audience for the conversation we were about to have. She nodded her h
Nina’s pov- I shivered at the chill that went down my spine as Uncle Jesse talked with the man that was giving me a horrible vibe, it wasn’t his appearance that gave me the chills rather this gut feeling that was knawing at me. The woman at his side wasn’t helping the growing feeling as she eyed me through the glass of the window and I clung to the rim of my dress, my fingers curling the fabric into my fist with the agitation that filled me. She had some god damn nerve making what was so clearly a move on Maverick whilst I was standing at his side, actually all of them so rudely interrupting what was so obviously a personal and very much private conversation. I kept my gaze on the woman, standing my ground as she was smiling, no not smiling but grinning at me like she was accepting a challenge and ill be damned if she thinks I’ll sit back and let her challenge me. She can try me all she pleases but if she keeps up the fluttering of her eyelashes in Maverick’s direction like she so smu
Maverick’s pov- I was pushing the jeep beyond the speeding limits. Even though Jesse had seemed calm his order to take Nina to the ranch had left me on the edge of my seat. I glanced in her direction, she was feeling every bit confused, and I know it was down to the behaviour of me and my brothers. She wanted me to give her an explanation but the only explanation that I could give her would freak her the fuck out. how was I supposed to explain the encounter we had just had with the other shifters? She was angry completely pissed that her questions and worries had been shut down and ignored. It was never my intention to cause her the turmoil I see so visible in her, but I don’t know how or what to say in order to answer her questions. ‘I don’t see why you can’t just tell her everything’ Carson linked, his concern for Nina was showing as he didn’t take his eyes off of the back of her head. ‘Yeah, because telling her that werewolves exist would bring out a better reaction than the one,
Maverick’s pov- ‘You have to tell her’ Levi linked obviously having been listening in on the conversation me and Nina had just had. I ignored him, the only thing on my mind right now was to keep Nina in my sights. “Nina” I called after her as she stormed her way around back so stubbornly. “Nina” I tried again but louder, she could hear me she just chose to ignore me, her current behaviour bringing agitation to my wolf. “Darling” I reached for her hand, tugging her sharply to a still. My wolfs agitation was brewing into fury, I was struggling to keep him in his place. “Just leave me alone, I want to be alone” she tried pulling away from me, but my grip was firm and tight, she was not getting away from me so easily and not just because I didn’t want to let her but because my wolf was scratching in my head trying to get out. “Talk to me” I tugged her closer using the fact she hadn’t managed to pull away from me as an advantage to circle my arm around her waist. To keep her close to m
Maverick’s pov- I was at Nina’s side before her hands had hit the grass. Her screams of agony like a dagger to my chest as I watched powerlessly at the pain that took her. “What the fuck have you done” Carson fired, anger rolling from him and aimed for me. “I- I lost control” I tried to defend but I was totally distracted by Nina as she writhed on the floor, my touch doing nothing to sooth her and her reaction to my mark. This was not supposed to happen, she was only supposed to feel pain for a short couple of seconds at most. “Nina” I tried to sooth but every time my hand touched her, she screamed even louder. “What’s happening to her?” I asked no one in particular as I reached out again her skin on fire, burning to touch as I tried to still her, to calm her. I could not understand as to why not even my touch was enough only seemingly making it worse. “She’s human Mav, you marked your human mate with your wolfs fangs” Levi watched Nina with a look of horror, speaking his mind wi
Maverick’s pov- Two days, two days she has been unconscious. Two days she has left me sinking and feeling all and every bit of the guilt that I deserved to be feeling. I was pacing, I haven’t stopped pacing at her bedside since she said those words. She hates me. I don’t blame her; I would hate me too. My family and Jesse have incessantly searched around the clock, expiring all and every turn as they searched for a reason behind her shift. They come up short with nothing other than that it wasn’t supposed to happen. My mark wasn’t supposed to entice a shift, it was mere impossible for a wolf to appear within a human unless they were born with the gene or physically turned by an alpha on a full moon and she had neither. She was not born by a wolf, nor was she turned by an alpha. The moon goddess was testing me. I wasn’t sure as to what that test was, and I didn’t know why or like the fact that Nina had to be the one to suffer in the way she so painfully was and still is all in the nam
Nina’s Pov- Darkness, engulfed in a pit inside of my own mind and encasing me in the pitcher than pitches of the darkest black. I was trapped inside an infinity room, A room that had no walls. A room that had no light or bulb for me to switch on. I wasn’t here and I wasn’t out there, I wasn’t anywhere, I was just being. I was nowhere, at a standstill and I don’t know for how long I’ve been here or why it was that I was here, but I didn’t want to be here, wherever here was I was stuck with no exit for me to take. “We will find them, and they will have answers. She will be ok brother” The familiar voices echoed, matching the faces that have been enclosed in my darkness with me. It is strange, I can hear them, and I can see a sort of faded visual of them but it’s not actually them, more like a memory of them. kind of like the memory games you play as a child where you match the picture to the sound. It was tormenting because I could feel them, whether it was someone’s real emotions or
