Chapter Thirty-NineSong: Earned it by The weekendMaya POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror and my grip on the sink tightened, Malcolm was outside the door waiting for me. He had not said anything after i let him go and locked myself in the rest room. Shaky- that was how my knees felt beneath me, like i wasn’t going to collapse if i didnt hold on tight enough. Malcolm saw through my facade, he saw my weakness. One of them- i was failing-The door was shoved opened and my eyes widened when Malcolm stepped in and shut the door behind him.“What are-” He pressed his finger to his lips motioning me to keep quiet and i did. What was he doing? The hurrried feet from outside the door answered my question as they stopped and a heavy weight rested on the door.Someone was right outside-“Yes, he’s on the plane.” The feminine voice answered in hushed tones. “No, he’s not alone. There is a woman with them, she doesnt look familiar but with the way she and Malcolm acted, it seems they’re
Chapter FortyMaya POVThe well-lighted mansion greeted me as i stood outside the front of the house, my hands curled around my sides as the cold air swept through gently. It was a little after seven p.m. and the place was already dark and the half moon shining bright in the sky.“This is where we would be staying for the next couple of days,” Lucas stated from beside me. He had taken off his jacket and hung it over his shoulders while Malcolm stood out in the back while on the phone, he caught my gaze and said a few words before ending the call. He walked up beside me and I cleared my throat while staring at the house again.“Is this where we are staying?” I asked even though i knew the answer.“Of course-” Lucas began to answer but was cut short by Malcolm who turned to the both of us, his eyes fixated on me.“Not anymore, we’re moving into a hotel.” Lucas mouth dropped and he turned to me and then back to Malcolm.“Whats going on?” He asked in a low tone.“I will tell you once we g
Chapter Forty-oneMaya POVLucas was already in his room when we got up to our floor and he left a message for the both of us by the door.“He’s not serious, is he?” I said to Malcolm as I opened the door to the room while he carried the card Lucas left behind for us.The lights came on and my eyes skimmed through the entirety of the room before me, it was average, nothing big like where i stayed back in the city but this would do. I dropped the keys on the top of the counter and turned to face Lucas who was staring at me.“On with it? What do you mean we have trobule?” I asked and he smilled.“While i was making calls, i did notice that a certain blackie in leather pants and a spiral tattoo on the back of his left wrist paying attention to you and lucas, well most especially you.” My brows furrowed and i crossed my arms over my chest for better support.“Its impossible, there’s no way they would send someone all the way here while i am still on the job.” i argued shaking my head at t
Chapter Forty-TwoMaya POVThe bar was much bigger than anticipated and the flood of people was also not expected, it was almost as though they were giving free exotic booze and everyone wanted to partake of it. The purse in my hold not only had my lipgloss but also something i might find handy in case anything goes wrong. Not only that, i had managed to store a couple of blades just underneath my dress, nothing not much for anyone to see and i made sure Malcolm was not aware of my holdings.“What is this place?” I asked as inspected the people pilling up in the line and at different stations, the line directly at the dront had three hefty men stationing at the door, they wore glasses and for a moment they looked intimidating as though they weren’t humans.“It is the Night oar club and you my friends have come to the right place.” A voice from behind us said, a man in bubble pink suit walked up to us with blonde curly hair and blue stood few feets away and his eyes were on Lucas who d
Chapter Forty-ThreeMaya POV“I didnt leave you two alone to make out now did i?” Lucas said as he returned back to us but neither of us pulled away immediately, my fingers detached from Malcolm's hair and so did his hands from me.“You brought me to a werewolf breeding ground Malcolm, i dont know your plan but you better fill me on all of it before i do something you won’t be able to control.”“Dont worry, i’ve got this just make sure you ignore everything and dont bring so much attention to yourself.” He replied and pulled away with a smile on his lips. I turned away to Lucas who stared at us with amusing look on his face, i ignored his look and leaned back on the seat with my hands crossed over my chest.If i hated anything, it was to be caught unawares, bringing me to a werewolf breeding spot was like giving a child a lot of candy and then telling such a child not to eat. Werewolves, were everywhere and some humans probably came here for the sake of having a good time but they did
Chapter Forty-fourMaya POV“Cole?” His name left my lips in a whisper with my eyes wide as i stared at the man in the corner, a man i didnt think i’ll see anytime soon.“You know him?” Malcolm asked and i leaned back to the chair and took in a deep breath.“Unfortunately-” I smacked my lips together and crossed my legs, it was upsetting to see him here after what he did in those past years and now he was here and it was clear he was here for something. Even with the fact that i had nothing to be worried about, it still bothered me that he was here. As if sensing my upset, Malcolm leaned down to my ears and i relaxed.“You seem tensed, do you want to get out of here?” he asked.“No, i’m not running. He’s not going to intimidate me to leave just because i dont want to be around him.” I answered honestly, from the corner of my eyes i watched Cole walk away to the bar, no sparing a look in our direction.“Who is he?” I leaned back and away from Malcolm’s grip. “Someone we should avoid
Chapter forty-FiveMaya POV“If you want to use the point that i’m in the enemies den, then might i surprise you that this thing-” he opened his hands outwards and smiled. “Is my house too. You didnt think that i left the association just to go back to the normal human life did you?”I stayed quiet, what did he mean by that?“Maya, if you know better you’ll know that you are being used by the association, just like every single low level hunter.”“I am not a low-level hunter,” my tone was sharp and held every means of contempt in my words. Cole loved my reaction as his smile grew wider and he leaned closer to us. “And what you think i know or doing, is not your concern Cole, don’t act like you had one.”“Still the stubborn girl as always. Well then, if you won’t listen to me, i’ll allow you to see for yourself how dangerous the association is and what it gives to be controlled by them and Malcolm keep a leash on her, she can be quite wild,” he finished his drink and pushed his chairs
Chapter Forty-sixMaya POV“The splinx?” Lucas asked, clearly confused by what it means. My expression should’ve mirrored his but I wasn’t confused. Infact, I was very aware of what the dark object was. It was amongst the things developed by the tech teams in the association, every hunter past the sapphire rank is aware of what it is but the thing was, we never actually saw the thing in real life. It was kept locked away in one of the facilities, there was no way anyone could get to it, especially Cole now that he was out of the association.“Yes, that device is the answer we need.” Kevin said, retreating back in the embrace of the women who sat beside him.“Why not get another witch to deactivate the spell?” Another voice asked as the man in black suit walked in through another opening. He had dark glasses covering his eyes and two men following behind him in similar attire.“It’s not that easy Henry, with what you’ve done to the witches in this region they’ve all gone into hiding.
