MAYA
It was time to head out for our three day journey to the Mooncrown Pack. We woke up early, took our bath, ate our food and made preparations to travel.
Luckily, I had packed up my bags last night after speaking with Carissa, so I didn't have to bother myself about that anymore.
Carissa and I talked for more than an hour, discussing with each other and almost arguing in the process.
**FLASHBACK**
After I saw that it was the same person Julia and I were talking about that was calling, I picked up the call and placed it on speaker for the both of us to hear.
" Hey, Carissa, " I greeted, smiling. " To what do I owe this call? " I teased.
" Maya! " She shrieked happily, making me jump in fright. That was so unusual of her, she wasn't the type to scream that way even when
MAYAKen and Julia were driving us to where my private ship was located, while Ethan slept on Victor's lap. He was too excited this morning that he had woken up by three am and started begging us to start leaving.I almost yelled at him when he came to my room, but he ran away the moment he saw that I was becoming angry and went to Victor's room. That was where he stayed until six am when we all woke up to prepare for the journey.For the two hours, he and Victor played, talked and laughed about jokes that they both made. Even though I liked the bond that he and his father were building up, I was still annoyed at both of them for not sleeping throughout the night.That was why they were both trying to avoid my gaze, especially Ethan, who stuck to his father the whole time, even when he was sleeping." You know, you have to take it easy with Ethan. He i
MAYAI watched as Carissa's demeanor changed as soon as she saw Victor standing behind me and I began to wonder if this was going to end well like I wanted." What is he doing here? " She asked, her voice laced with spite, making it very obvious that she wasn't pleased with the fact that he came here with me." Can we at least come inside? We have been traveling for three days straight and we are very tired, " I informed and she opened the door wide enough for us to enter.I grabbed Victor by the wrist and pulled him inside before she could slam the door at his face after I had entered the house." Grandma, " Ethan shrieked and he pulled himself away from his father and ran to her, hugging her. Her face morphed into a smile and she picked him up, hugging him." I missed you so much Ethan, " she cooed, kissing his forehead.
MAYAI raised my head up as the aftereffects of the slap hit me hard. That was the first time she slapped me in five years and it was also the first time we were arguing so vehemently." Why did you do that? " I asked, holding my cheeks." Why would you talk that way about my son? I took you, trained you and raised you to be who you are today. So, why would you talk trash about my son? " She snapped at me." Trash? When did I ever do that? And I understand that you raised me and took me in and I am thankful for that. I have never disappointed you or done something that would make you regret taking me in, so why now? Why is it that you can't help me with what I want? I am in love with Victor, can't you just forgive him and give us your blessings? " I yelled at her." No, that would never happen. I would never forgive him for what he did, " she swo
MAYAI rushed out of his room, running downstairs. I searched everywhere in the house, but he was nowhere to be found.' Victor, where the hell are you? ' I asked, using the mindlink, but I got no response as well, making me more worried. He knew nowhere in the Moon Crown Pack and the pack was so big for him to get lost in.I took a deep breath at first, trying to calm myself down before I started thinking of places he could be at.If he was going to leave, it meant that he had gone to a hotel to stay because of the way Carissa embarrassed him earlier. And the only hotel that was nearby was a ten minutes walk from the house.Without letting anyone know what was happening, I left the house and began to head to the hotel, only to see him coming back with a nylon bag full of junk." Maya, " he waved at me, running to where I was
MAYAI stood up abruptly from the bed and adjusted my clothes as I cleared my throat. I stared at my son who was giving us a blank look, probably wondering what we were doing." Ethan, how did you get here? Why didn't you knock on the door like I always tell you to? " I asked him gently, trying not to make it sound like I was scolding him." I knocked on the door, but no one answered me, so I came inside myself, " he answered and I stared immensely at him, trying to look for signs that he was lying, but I found none." What do you want? " I asked, pulling him to me." I woke up and I was hungry. I didn't want to go into the kitchen without telling anyone, so that you would not scold me, " he answered and I frowned at him." What about Grandpa? Weren't you sleeping in his room? " I questioned and he nodded in response." Gran
MAYAIt was five am in the morning and I had to go downstairs to cook since Carissa didn't like her maids cooking for her.Sue was already in the kitchen, just like I had expected and I greeted her first before going to wash my hands." Did you sleep well? " She asked and I nodded in response." Yes, I did, " I answered. We said nothing else aside from that as things were really awkward between us.I didn't like the uncomfortable air around us, but there was nothing I could do about it as that was how it was going to be for the time being." I heard you and Davis had an argument last night, " I spoke out, wanting to bring up a topic and she glanced at me for a moment before going back to what she was doing." He came to talk to me about Victor and I flipped out for a moment. We have settled it and he has apologized to me alr
MAYAI glared at Carissa, wondering what her problem was this time around. Was it a bad thing for him to join us for breakfast?" He is in this house, why can't he join us? " I retorted and Davis cleared his throat, standing up from his chair." Ethan, come with me. Let grandpa feed you today, " he offered, taking Ethan from Carissa and their food from the table before going upstairs." What do you think you're doing? " Carissa asked me." That's exactly what I should be asking you, mom, what exactly are you doing? I understand that you don't like him, nor do you want to accept him into this family. But, are you going to let him starve? He is in your house, " I queried and she folded her arms, raising her brows as she gave me a knowing look." Why should I care if he starves or not? No one invited him here in the first place, " she pointed out.
MAYASince there was nothing we would be doing in the house, I decided to show Victor around the pack while Ethan spent some time with Carissa and Davis. I also wanted to use that time to get some things off our mind." You were right, this pack is really big. I didn't even know the pack was as big as this and when Gabriel talked about it, I always thought that he was exaggerating because it was his mother's pack, " Victor commented as he looked around with anticipation." He was right though, it is bigger than the Bloodfang Pack. The Mooncrown Pack is competing with the pack of the Alpha King regarding that, " I explained to him." Then, why isn't Davis a member of the council? Shouldn't he be the Council leader? " He questioned and I shook my head, disagreeing with him." That position is too low for him. The Alpha King has been trying to make him hi
