Chapter 24Song: Run to you by Ocie Elliot…………………………………..Fabio POV………………..She had lustrous brown hair which drapped over my fingers as i ran my hands through them. With her passed out on the chair, just one side of her face was exposed to the light in the den. I watched her chest slowly rise and fall and her eyes remained shut.“What were you thinking conversing with them uncle?” I asked as the sound of controlled footsteps neared my position.“It was harmless, Maya wasn’t going to shoot.” My uncle Matteo replied as he squatted down to my side.“Yet she was ready to pull the trigger and blow your brains off, Nico told me that she shot at him. He was bleeding when i found him.” I said stadning up to my feet as i peeled away from the girl my uncle called Maya.I stared at her figure, she had a strong athletic build and her face, her eyes even- held the depth of a fighter. She was a tough one.“She shot at the wall next to him, it was only a warning sign for him to stay quiet.” Uncle
Chapter Twenty-FiveSong: Hanging on the Edge by Regina Price……………………….Maya POV…………..He was going to torture Malcolm by slicing him up. I swallowed covering up the heavy burden that sat on my throat. Malcolm eyes locked on mine but he didnt seem to bother that Pete was going to slice him up. Fabio’s eyes were on me the entire time and while i looked away from when Pete brought out the blade, i was greeted with amusement in his eyes. “You know you can make this all end but just telling him what he needs to hear.” He said to me like i wasnt aware of what was at stake. “Your friend will go home unharm-” but he didnt finish when a deep groan errupted from Malcolm. Pete was dragging the blade on his arms drawing blood from it, my eyes stayed on the bleeding spot and my fist clenched on my laps.“Cutting him up isn’t going to change the answers and its unfair that you get to torture while you refused to tell me why you sold amonition to someone from the association.” I said and Fabio s
Chapter Twenty-SixSong: Desire by Limoblaze……………..Maya POV………….“Its great to see you again Maya,” Pete said as he took another swing of the beer in the bottle. “Never imagined it would be like this but i am also worried that you’re a fly entering a spiders nest. Not to mention that you have a werewolf accompanying you.” He nodded in Malcolms direction, he was with Fabio talking about something. They seemed oblivious to our stair on them, my hands curled my sides as i stared at the acquarium at the far edge.“He seems to like you.” He added and i turned away from Malcolm with my brows raised at Pete who shrugged.“I’m not even going to talk about that with you,” i watched as Pete carried a piece of fish food and poured a small amount into the canister. “Its been a while we’ve seen you at the association. You’ve stopped coming around to the building-”“I realized that something’s are best left unsaid.” He said in a low tone, “What happened?”“I can’t share that with you, Maya, as
Chapter 27Song: Strangers by Kenya Grace………………………….....................................Maya POV…………….The knife was poisoned.My eyes were wide as saucers as i stared at the cut and then back up at Malcolm who was staring down at me. His hair dropped over his eyes and with him being this close i was able to trace the bags beneath his eyes. “It’s nothing that my body can’t handle.” he said but something about his tone was off, it was slurred and his eyes dropped. He tried to moved past me but staggered and i reached out to hold his arms but failed and he pulled me down to the ground with me falling flat on his bare warm chest. The air was knocked out of me and as i raised my head i stared at Malcolm- his eyes were almost closed up and his hands were around my waist.“You can’t stay on the bed like this.” I muttered but he wasn’t even moving at all, i leaned closer to him with my hair falling in my face, his eyes were barely opened and his breath was turning shallow. “Malcolm- i k
Chapter 29Song: Pillow Talk by Zayn Malik……………………………………………………Maya POV……………My hands still held unto the front of Malcolm’s shirt and i made no move of pulling away. I was glad that he was here-and i hated myself for that. I should be a hunter who was not afraid of anything but with what had been happening- i really couldn’t be by myself and Malcolm was the only person who had no reason to kill me.“You were barely gone for twenty minutes-” he stated and i closed my eyes as what happened earlier crossed my mind. When i stepped out of Malcolm’s room, someone had been watching me- and even while i tried to calmly open my door- the hairs on my body reacted differently. “He was watching me-” i replied and pulled away from him with my gaze to the ground. “Why were you at my door?” i deflected.“I wanted to make sure you were okay-” he paused and i finally stared at him. The shirt he wore covered up most of the marking around his neck and his hands rubbed around the muscle there. “And i
Chapter 30Song: Middle of the night by Ella Dunhe……..:……………………………..Malcolm POVShe looks peaceful when she isn’t trying so hard to fight me, and no one would ever think of her as a high end assassin that is brutal at what she does. Even on the chair her body looked stiff, her eyes were already dipping close. Even when I tried to Carry her she struggled in my touch.“Relax Maya, Im not going to hurt you.” I whispered and like a snake to the tune of a special flute she relaxed.I watched her from my side as her body relaxed on the mattress, her hair had unbunched from the tie that held it together and they sprayed on the bed. My eyes rested on her lips which were slightly parted and let out soft air, if she caught me right now I’m sure a knife will be on my throat.Turning away from her lips my eyes focused on her face, her brows were slightly creased but apart from that she didn’t look troubled. She stirred and her hands clenched around around the sheets on the bed like she was stru
Chapter 31Song: I see Red by Everybody Loves and Outlaw…………………………..Maya POV………………………….It was the day of the dinner and i hadn’t seen Malcolm since the day he had slept in my room. I rinsed my face and stared at my reflection in the mirror, and watched strands of my hair fall into my face, there was no need to get worked up about my appearance but one thing was permenantly etched on my mind. The feel of Malcolm’s body against mine, my grip around the sink tightened and my face turned red from the reoccuring memory.Thankfully the light buzzing of my phone echoed in my ears pulling me back to reality, i shut the bathroom door behind me and grabbed my phone on teh desk while i dried my face.“Agent-”‘Whats your status Kristoff?” Sergeant firm voice asked and i tried not to roll my eyes. “Its been almost two weeks since you reported back to base.”I tossed the towel aside and paced around the room while raking my hands through my hair. “I didn’t know you need my report seeing that
Chapter 32Song: Anchor by Novo Amor…………………….Malcolm POV………………..The sun was drizzling away behind the clouds and the soft colors of orange and yellow danced around in the sky and soft evening breeze pushed across. Working for Lucas family is one of the toughest things ever, and since his text came in, i’ve been on the clock every since then. “You look really tired Malcolm, want to come to my room to rest?” Gwen’s slutry voice drawled from behind me, my skin crawled at the sound of her voice. Mr. Satiago had made sure that i remained around the premises after my initla call, he was on the phone and i had to wait for him to be done before i could enter and now, Gwen had found me.“I’m fine on my own Gwen.” I muttered turning to face her. Her hands were propped umder her chest which was barely covered in a silk robe and her eyes trailed over me. “You should also get ready, your father won’t be happy to see you here.” I reminded and her face turned sour, Gwen just like Lucas had a fe
