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-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-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.

Chapter Forty-EightMaya povLayla. I didn’t think to hear that name soon neither did I think to hear it from a woman I just met in the bathroom of a werewolf feeding ground.“What do you know about Layla?” My hands curled around the glass and Cassie’s eyes followed my movements.“Easy on the glass, you are not so subtle with hiding your emotions.” she responded. “Your sister- Layla and I crossed paths a few weeks ago and just I say that she is a sweet lady. She's been living in the big city with her boyfriend and friends.” it was weird hearing about how Layla was doing after everything that had happened between us in the past months.“She’s here? In this city?” I asked unable to hold back on my curiosity.“No, no she's not. I was in her city when I was out to look for something.” Cassie responded and I took a sip from my glass. “Does she know you're alive?”“It doesn't matter, she hates me for what I did and it's best if we both stayed in our seperate lives.” I muttered. There was n

Chapter FiftyMaya POVExcitment burst through my entire being as his hands held unto me, like i was a line that held his life, maybe i over exaggerate but his hold on me was secured, my hands held unto him also, the strength to not let go was fuelled by the tequila i had drank but it didnt matter. His lips contoured mine in strong yet soft movements that had me gasping for breaths, even with closed eyes, it helped me focus on the fact that i was in Macloclm hands and kissing him. Seconds felt like eternity and then they ended, his lips were away from mine, my eyes pulled opened and i was greeted with his eyes watching me. Eyes which were usually in narrow slits glaring at me stared at me differently. There was no hollow, neither was there any caution in them, instead there was dilated pupils which showed hunger and want. Cole stared at me this way but it felt different this time, i didnt feel a need rto hold back and my body was at rest, it was safe. Malcolm made me feel safe. “Ma
