Chapter Thirty-SevenSong: Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande……………………………………………..Maya POV…………..His hands were on his thighs the entire ride back to the hotel, his grip on the steering wheels was unnecessarily tight and he had not said a single word since we got to the car. I managed to push what had happened back at Lucas's house behind me as there was nothing more to look forward to, my words had made him release me back then like he had come back to his senses.Great job Maya, saying cras things like that. I sighed in relief when we reached the underground parking lot. Without wasting time, i detached the seatbelt and walked out of the car without waiting for Malcolm, if it was anything i just wanted to disappear. He caught up with me in the elevator, but said nothing as the door closed. The silence was deafening and i feared that he heard the beating of my heart. My eyes drifted back to my purse which was tucked in between my hands and my phone which was in the other. The doors
Chapter Thirty-EightMaya POVIts been three days, three days since i last saw Malcolm, three days since the last incident, three days since my panic attack. Lucas had requested i didnt come into work and that gave me more time on my hands to set my priorities straight and not think about Malcom.I raked my hands through my hair as i read the document jake had sent out for me, but none of the letters made sense. The prints seemed like foreign letters and my head was begining to ache from staring so hard. Pushing out of the chair, i walked to the window which was covered by the curtains, it was mid-day and the bustling of the city was obvious. The clouds were clear enough to have a nice enough to have lunch in a cafe. As i walked to my closet to change out of my shorts, there was a knock on the door. My heart leaped in my chest at the thought of Malcolm coming to check up on me, without thinking twice i reached for the door and yanked it open, but the excitment died down a little when
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
