Maya POV
I woke up startled by my own alarm, it took me few seconds to remember why I've set it up in the first place. Yeah right, the GED tests, we have a long day today. Eliane was already up, I could hear her rummaging through the kitchen downstairs.
After few minutes of staring into nothing, I dragged my feet to the bathroom to get prepared. After doing my business, I washed my hands and face with the grapefruit soap I bought yesterday then brushed my teeth. I unwrapped the towel on my head and examined my hair. Last night, I used my new hair products and I can say that I'm quite satisfied with the results.
I went back to my room to dress up, I opted for a blue floral sleeved maxi dress with tan belt to wear with my new cardigan and boots. When I was done, I grabbe

Eliane POVToday was the best day ever. The tests were quite easy and truth to be told, The only times I thought about it were when the supervisors in the test center gave us the start signal. The only thing I had in mind was Alex and Alex's smile. Everything he did today was perfect, he even thought about Maya's coffee and my apple juice.During the ride, he kept talking to me trying to calm me down. What he didn't know was that I was so nervous just because I was around him. I kept stealing glances at him, I never knew that a man driving could be this alluring. Somehow the veins bulging from the back of his hands were mesmerizing on their own.What almost made me mess up my Social Studies test was his out of the blue hug. It was the first time I ever felt this way. W

Maya POV"Now Eliane, we would like to know more about your life before you were adopted by Miss Evans" Welson made a futile attempt to ease the rising tension in the room. I really appreciated his soft attitude toward Eliane but it was a bit late to try and act friendly. Unless this was all an act of good cop, bad cop. That snob Dubois on the other hand was a complete Ass*** glaring at us from the moment we walked in, making Eliane tense."Maya, How about a cup of tea." It was Helen's turn to join the party"Yes thank you"How about you offer a cup for Mr snob too."Please follow me to the kitchen downstairs", she started walking toward the door expecting me to follow her like a dog. Did she really thin

Eliane POVWe decided to go for a take out, with werewolves everywhere, there would be no privacy in any restaurant or dinner. I bet everyone would be listening to our conversation. I usually don't care but I didn't want anyone to hear what I was about to tell Maya.I thought that I wasn't really hungry but when Maya got back in the car with a big paper bag smelling of Tacos, Quesadillas and Burritos my stomach started growling. We both skipped lunch and the whole stupid meeting drained us completely.After driving around we stopped by a big playground. Few Human toddlers were playing under the careful watch of their parents. We sat by a picnic table and unpacked the food and drinks. I started eating right away while Maya took two pain killers pills then leaned her hea

Maya POVI carefully laid down Eliane on the back seat and covered her with my jacket. I moved to the front seat and started the car. Inside my head was like a hurricane, a tornado of mixed emotions and a rainstorm of painful memories.During the ride back I kept remembering every word she said. Deep down I know that she kept to herself way more than she told me. Part of me wants to hear more but the other part is just scared to steer up something I can't handle.I turned off the engine once parked in front of the house and leaned back on my seat. I didn't want to get inside, I was tempted to grab our bags and drive far away from this place. This place is dangerous for both of us, for everything we built up during the last years.

Eliane POVAn annoying sound infiltrated my perfectly peaceful sleep. You know the sensation of floating in a very comfortable position in your sleep and then the sound of the alarm ruining the mood. I sat up blinking while searching for my phone to turn off the alarm.When my hands didn't find it on the nightstand or under my pillow, I looked around the room until I found my bag on the desk. I stood up and dragged my feet toward the bag, It didn't take long to find the phone. I grabbed it and walked to the bathroom.While I was done doing my business, I tried to unlock the phone but the screen remained black. It took me a couple of seconds to remember that I had turned it off yesterday. Little by little, yesterday's events came back to me clearing my drowsy head.

Maya POVWe resumed our breakfast after checking Eliane's results. I was so proud of her, everything was the result of her own dedication and perseverance. Alex was looking at her with a new light, I guess he just realized how lucky he is to have her as a mate. He can add 'smart' too to the 'beautiful with golden heart' package.I was glad Alex was her mate. He was a nice boy, patient and very sweet to her. I can't wait for her birthday when she's supposed to recognize him as her mate. I'm not sure How it works exactly, Eliane talked about a certain pull and a kind of electricity or was it a shiver when mates touch.I hope it goes well that day. I don't know what are the consequences of accepting him and I don't care as long as she's happy. I know for sure that in the

Eliane POVI looked around me not finding the right words to describe how I felt. The decorated area by the oak tree was beautiful and cozy, everything looked magical. I could tell how much time and effort they spent on decorating this place, they did it for me. Even the swing's ropes were wrapped with Christmas lights.As I sat down on one of the cushions, my eyes took in the decoration of the table. The wildflowers and candles were a perfect touch, they were scattered randomly around the table in small glass bowls. Few floor lanterns were by the tree trunk."Do you like it?" Alexia asked a bit hesitant sitting next to me"I love it!! Thank you" I hugged her and she exhaled relieved by my answer, "Did you do it by yo

Maya POVThe whole graduation party thing was a nice gesture toward Eliane, simple and touching at the same time. I knew she'd like it and appreciate this first experience. After all, it has always been just the two of us. What I didn't expect was Eliane's reaction toward them, she was opening up to them and letting her walls down little by little. I don't think she's even aware of it.I watched her relaxed interaction with the kids. She was leaning slightly toward Alex who never left her side. His eyes were always on her, making sure she was comfortable and didn't need anything. He would hand her water before she could ask him. Alexia, too, was very attentive. At first, it seemed kind of weird how she was taking some notes on her phone but when she mentioned throwing Eliane's birthday party It made sense.
