Eliane POV
Sleeping early yesterday was for the best, I woke up in a good mood and full of energy. The fact that we are having dinner with the two top families of the Northmoon pack made me feel excited. After breakfast, I started making the brownies while Maya went up to finish unpacking her boxes. I decided to make some mini egg rolls too since the Alpha and Beta seemed to prefer salty treats.
Lunchtime came very fast, I didn't notice since I was busy organizing my cooking stencils and the rest of the groceries shopping from yesterday while Maya did the laundry. We decided to make omelets with onions, mushroom and extra cheese. Maya wanted to take me shopping for a new outfit and I had a hard time convincing her that I already have more than enough. Well since I don't go out that much all my clothes are still brand ne
Maya POVRain was a real gentleman, that's a fact. From the moment he picked us up, he made sure to make us feel comfortable and ease our nerves. He even managed to make Eliane giggle a couple of times. But my favorite moment was when he smacked his son's head. I know it's mean but I really enjoyed.The Luna on the other hand was the type of person I usually try to avoid. She was the over-friendly type, the kind to wear a smile all the time and her daughter was a mini version of her. She kept talking the whole dinner about herself, her pack, her mate and her children while the Alpha nodded at every word she said.I checked on Eliane from time to time, the kids were trying hard to get her to participate in their conversations but she kept her responses to the minimum. I
Eliane POVThanks to the food Beta Rain gave us, I could concentrate on my studies during the weekend without worrying about Maya dying of hunger or junk food. But truth to be told, I really missed cooking but I couldn't just waste good ingredients just to have fun.Maya slept the days away, she seemed a bit tired. I suppose all the stress we went through is finally catching up to her. She even canceled her job interview, she said she wanted to take it easy for a while. She would wake up to eat then go back to sleep.Somehow, Alex's face and his beautiful smile kept popping in my head at random moments. My mind kept rewinding our conversations, I still can't believe he called me beautiful. And the way he apologized on one knee was so romantic, he was like the male lead
Maya POVI woke up startled by my own alarm, it took me few seconds to remember why I've set it up in the first place. Yeah right, the GED tests, we have a long day today. Eliane was already up, I could hear her rummaging through the kitchen downstairs.After few minutes of staring into nothing, I dragged my feet to the bathroom to get prepared. After doing my business, I washed my hands and face with the grapefruit soap I bought yesterday then brushed my teeth. I unwrapped the towel on my head and examined my hair. Last night, I used my new hair products and I can say that I'm quite satisfied with the results.I went back to my room to dress up, I opted for a blue floral sleeved maxi dress with tan belt to wear with my new cardigan and boots. When I was done, I grabbe
Eliane POVToday was the best day ever. The tests were quite easy and truth to be told, The only times I thought about it were when the supervisors in the test center gave us the start signal. The only thing I had in mind was Alex and Alex's smile. Everything he did today was perfect, he even thought about Maya's coffee and my apple juice.During the ride, he kept talking to me trying to calm me down. What he didn't know was that I was so nervous just because I was around him. I kept stealing glances at him, I never knew that a man driving could be this alluring. Somehow the veins bulging from the back of his hands were mesmerizing on their own.What almost made me mess up my Social Studies test was his out of the blue hug. It was the first time I ever felt this way. W
Maya POV"Now Eliane, we would like to know more about your life before you were adopted by Miss Evans" Welson made a futile attempt to ease the rising tension in the room. I really appreciated his soft attitude toward Eliane but it was a bit late to try and act friendly. Unless this was all an act of good cop, bad cop. That snob Dubois on the other hand was a complete Ass*** glaring at us from the moment we walked in, making Eliane tense."Maya, How about a cup of tea." It was Helen's turn to join the party"Yes thank you"How about you offer a cup for Mr snob too."Please follow me to the kitchen downstairs", she started walking toward the door expecting me to follow her like a dog. Did she really thin
Eliane POVWe decided to go for a take out, with werewolves everywhere, there would be no privacy in any restaurant or dinner. I bet everyone would be listening to our conversation. I usually don't care but I didn't want anyone to hear what I was about to tell Maya.I thought that I wasn't really hungry but when Maya got back in the car with a big paper bag smelling of Tacos, Quesadillas and Burritos my stomach started growling. We both skipped lunch and the whole stupid meeting drained us completely.After driving around we stopped by a big playground. Few Human toddlers were playing under the careful watch of their parents. We sat by a picnic table and unpacked the food and drinks. I started eating right away while Maya took two pain killers pills then leaned her hea
Maya POVI carefully laid down Eliane on the back seat and covered her with my jacket. I moved to the front seat and started the car. Inside my head was like a hurricane, a tornado of mixed emotions and a rainstorm of painful memories.During the ride back I kept remembering every word she said. Deep down I know that she kept to herself way more than she told me. Part of me wants to hear more but the other part is just scared to steer up something I can't handle.I turned off the engine once parked in front of the house and leaned back on my seat. I didn't want to get inside, I was tempted to grab our bags and drive far away from this place. This place is dangerous for both of us, for everything we built up during the last years.
Eliane POVAn annoying sound infiltrated my perfectly peaceful sleep. You know the sensation of floating in a very comfortable position in your sleep and then the sound of the alarm ruining the mood. I sat up blinking while searching for my phone to turn off the alarm.When my hands didn't find it on the nightstand or under my pillow, I looked around the room until I found my bag on the desk. I stood up and dragged my feet toward the bag, It didn't take long to find the phone. I grabbed it and walked to the bathroom.While I was done doing my business, I tried to unlock the phone but the screen remained black. It took me a couple of seconds to remember that I had turned it off yesterday. Little by little, yesterday's events came back to me clearing my drowsy head.
