Chapter 70
Maya
The smell of food fills my nostrils, and I immediately crack my eyes open to get some of my usual rotten fruit and pellets on a Friday morning. If you are hungry enough, everything tastes like heaven, including rotten, magical apples.
"Breakfast!" A guard announces and pushes a tray with food below the bars for me to take.
I greedily snap up the food but freeze when I spot the guard preparing an even larger tray with more luxurious food. It makes sense. Arvin mentioned fairy blood, which means they need to keep the big guy healthy and robust to feed June.
And keeping the guy healthy means eating better food.
"There you go," The guard pushes the big tray inside and then proceeds to leave the basement. He mutters as he walks. "Filthy rats."
I don't take his comment to heart, and as soon as I'm alone with the fairy, I kick my tray to the side to save it for later and attack the fairy's more luxurious food. The brute is still sleeping
VeliciahYou like the fairy? :)

Maya I've spent most of the day napping, but the basement drops in temperature as it gets later. I shudder at the cold and drag my palms over my legs, hoping to warm them. Werewolves are always warm, but I will remain a weak human as long as Arvin has my wolf. Uncontrolled teeth chattering makes these weird, embarrassing sounds leave my lips, gaining the male fairy's attention. My new friend has been sleeping on the other side of the room, but he is studying me with vast curiosity right now. "I'm alright," I tell him. "It's cold, is all, but I'm used to it." The man doesn't look convinced. He lifts a skeptical eyebrow, and once I shake like a poor leaf, he gets up on his feet. Old oil lamps light up the basement, and I freeze upon having the man's shadow cast darkness over me. Flashbacks from the times Arvin has taken me by force by using his strength enter my mind. I hear my pathetic screams inside my head and try not to fall into a panic att

FinnWith a conflicted heart, I study the sleeping human woman. Her name is Maya, and she is currently leaning her head against my chest with a big smile on her face. She looks so cute when she is dreaming. The rugged, tortured look on her face, like she has walked through hell and survived, is gone, and left is a cuddly kitten.I prefer that version. It bothers me that such a young woman seems to have endured more pain than some people will experience throughout their entire lifetime.Maya rubs her cheek against me. "I will take one bucket of fried chicken wings and two curry dip sauces... And I want extra cayenne..."A smile strains my lips as I listen to Maya talk in her sleep. Calling her charming wouldn't be accurate. She is a terrible drooler, and I'm half-convinced she is crazy and yet-...No!I won't acknowledge it. Attraction is a dangerous thing. It can lead to love, and that emotion will make you fight battles that aren't yours to

FinnI'm alone inside the prison cell but glance up when Arvin pushes a crying Maya inside of the gates. Her hair is messy, and her eyes puffy and swollen as she sits down in her corner.Arvin blows her a kiss. "You were spectacular tonight, Maya! So aggressive, passionate, and lovely that I didn't have a single boring moment with you!"Maya glares at the man but doesn't speak. She hugs her knees and proceeds to disappear into her head. I never understood her fear of men before, but now I get it—Arvin is the reason behind her terror. In her eyes, the man must be a nightmare materialized."I will see you again tomorrow!"Arvin leaves us alone, and I clench my fists, angry that I wasn't here to protect Maya. I've been spending my entire day with a horrifying, mummified June. I assumed she was dead, but it turns out the wicked vampire still lives, even if she is older than the street."Does Arvin visit you a lot?"Maya doesn't reac

MayaI never expected to enjoy being touched by a man, but Finn commits and kisses me in a way that makes me question life. He caresses me and breathes life into my heart with his lips. My entire body is going down in flames and wanting, no, needing, more of this embrace, more of his beautiful, gentle soul.His tongue darts into my mouth, and I lose the ability to think, lost in the moment. I see stars and drown in his arms. His lips are addictive, and he tastes like lust, desire, and a hint of excitement.Much too soon, Finn breaks our earth-shattering kiss with me still in his lap. He is breathing heavily, letting his warm breath catch onto my delicate skin. "Are you alright?"I meet his concerned eyes, smiling. "Kiss me again."Shock settles over his features, and the much-too-beautiful man searches my face as though seeking a confirmation that I want him. Whatever he sees must tell him that I stand by my words because he dips in and kisses me a

MayaI peer up at Finn while I'm busy taking off the bracelet from around his arm. Seeming to notice me staring, he tilts his head with a sweet, crooked smile. "What is on your mind?"My lips part, but not a sound leaves my mouth. I can't possibly tell Finn the truth—that I've been a prisoner for too long and don't know where to go after this is over.I want to be with Finn. He is a good friend, the only one I've ever had, and something warm and exciting travels through me whenever I tip my head to meet his gaze. In my world, Finn is too beautiful to belong. Bigger, more robust, and not human, and yet I want him.He might not be my mate, but I swear there is chemistry going on between us, and I'm dying to find out if it can lead to an actual relationship.But as soon as I think that, I feel crazy—I'm in too deep, and we barely know each other. My mother wouldn't approve of us—fairy and werewolf, and my father probably wouldn't lik

FinnI'm so screwed—what the hell have I done! Why couldn't I keep my cock in check for one night? Ugh, I'm so mad at myself!I glance down at Maya, see the woman my two best friends have created, their freaking daughter, and I want to hit my head against the wall! I'm sick, and the worst part is that I still like her!What a fucked up world I live in!I kick the door open to June's lair and send ten men blasting out through the window while trying not to remember how beautiful Maya looked naked with her porcelain skin and even brighter hair, like an elf but entirely human. She is such a dirty girl, too—god, the sounds she made in bed will keep me awake for days!"Who is there?!" June, the blind, old hag, is panicking and ringing her bell for more guards. "I'm being assaulted!"Maya taps me on the back. "Finn, can you fight all of her guards? Because if the answer is no, then we ought to leave quickly!"I hear her, but my

Maya I'm laughing, not because I'm having fun, but because I do not know what the hell just happened. Finn flew through a portal and took us into a magical world with flowers taller than trees. And the actual trees are more extensive than skyscrapers, seeming to reach for the skies, and Finn? He turned into a giant in mid-air! With every ounce of strength in my body, I crawl from beneath Finn's massive hand and grasp for air the minute I'm out. The fairy himself is unconscious, and my leg is broken—fantastic! I reach for the orb and place it on Finn's chest. The black wolf inside is quiet and staring at my leg. I smile at her and then let my eyes roam to Finn's pointed ears. He looks different now, more fairy-like, with an ethereal glow seeming to come from within his pores. My heart thuds. Finn might be larger than life, yet it does nothing to change how I feel about him. "I wish I could help Finn. He saved our lives." I sigh and sit down on
Dear Enemy, You're My Mate Chapter 78
MayaI'm sitting in front of Finn while trying hard to concentrate. A lot of time has passed since we set up camp for the night, and after hours, I'm still trying to shape-shift back into a human.Finn is whispering encouragingly. "You can do it, Maya."I take another deep breath and resist the urge to scream when my body breaks bones and forms new ones. Shape-shifting is painful, and when I'm done, I tumble forward.Finn shoves his hand underneath me and catches me in his cupped palm. The landing is soft, and a row of flutters flies through me when I stare at his bent fingers, along with blooming insecurity.In the various books I've read, I never understood when an author wrote, "and his touch was electric," but now I'm experiencing it firsthand, no pun intended, as I sink further into Finn's hand.Touching him is best described as heaven, and while his hand isn't as good as being snuggled up on top of his chest, I take what I can get.
