Will she find the strength to break free, or will the weight of her gratitude silence her forever?

. CHAPTER 53JORDAN “Hey man,” Mathew breathed as he stepped out of the elevator, followed closely by a brown skinned beauty,with hair like storm clouds.“Sorry I couldn't make it to the lunch earlier.”“You weren't invited,” I replied, knowing he would've been welcome nonetheless,he was practically my brother and he knew that too.After a brief chuckle,he gestured to the lady with a huge smile. “Baby,this is my bestfriend. Jordan,this is Janae,my girlfriend.”“Nice to meet you,Jordan,” Janae said,smiling. Her white teeth a beautiful contrast with her dark skin. “I've heard so much about you.”“Me too,” I replied,casting Mathew a look,and watching with slight confusion as he silently slapped a palm against his temple.Janae breathed out a laugh, shaking her head. “I don't think that's likely,Matt told me he hadn't told you about me yet, because he wasn't sure I actually wanted him for real.” She laughed another low laugh,and I responded with a smile.“Ohh

CHAPTER 52MAZE “Godammit! Jojo!” I cussed as I almost tripped over the chunky feline as I darted around the kitchen.My heart and nerves pounded in my ears,but I was determined to ignore them.There were more important things to focus on,like making sure the house whole place was in perfect shape for our guests.“Darling…” I heard Jordan call as he entered the kitchen. “You really don't have to do all these…”“Were you able to get the wine stains out of the couch?” I asked without turning. “That was Jo’s fault. She made me tip my glass the other…”The words died in my throat as I felt a pair of strong hands wrap around my waist. Then he pressed a kiss to my neck.“Relax,” Jordan cooed,and my body immediately followed that command.I let him take the towel I was polishing the island with,and toss it away from my reach.Before slowly turning me around to face him.“You…”I swiftly pressed a finger to his lips, silencing him. “Don't you dare lecture me about the

. CHAPTER 51 JORDAN Every full moon ceremony was always in four parts. And I made sure to include Maze in each one, except the last,where I had to test the pack's mindlink by transforming and running all the way to the ventana wilderness, almost five hundred miles away.My mother hated Maze's presence,and whether or not she suspected that the younger woman was pregnant,she didn't show it.Probably because I did the absolute most,to deflect any form of altercation she aimed at Maze by never letting her leave my side. The pack members were kinda uncertain with her presence,but since she was with me…no one directly said anything. Except the pack’s eldest woman.“The lady you're with,” she'd begun, “Is she the one who has stolen the heart of the chief then?”I'd managed a smile as I looked from the blazing full moon,to her incredibly wrinkled face.“I hardly think she stole it,I was more than willing to give it to her.”I looked away,but not before

CHAPTER 50MAZE “There's really no need for this,you know?”Jordan had continuously repeated as we sat for the non-invasive prenatal paternity test,but he'd shown no serious objection to the idea…asides a brief reluctance when our bloods were collected.That was two weeks ago.I was aware, things could go this way or that,but I still wanted to do it. To grasp unto that sliver of possibility that it was his child growing inside of me.So here we are,sitted in the hospital's waiting room as we waited for the results,after fourteen days of tension.“How come it took so long for the baby to announce it's presence?” Jordan suddenly asked,and when I glanced at him,his brows were furrowed in genuine confusion.“You're about three months gone,yes?”I nodded, hiding a smile as I replied,“I believe it's been announcing it's presence, subtly…we just didn't notice.”“Hmm,” he slid his arm around my shoulder,and sighed.“I've noticed you keep referring to the baby as

CHAPTER 49JORDAN “Could you maybe not try to trip me over?” I asked Jojo,her eyes on mine as she kneaded the floor.“I could step on you,you know?” I added,but all I got was a tiny meow before she whirled around and walked away,with her tail high.I let out a sigh as I turned my attention back to prepping the ribeye, glancing at my watch intermittently as I boiled and mashed the potatoes.It was six minutes past five pm,when I finished everything.Maze had left work at exactly two pm,and although I'd offered to go with her, she'd refused…insisting I attend the meeting I'd been procrastinating for weeks.I'd driven to the hospital after,but Collins told me she'd left almost one hour before.Then I'd come home,but it turned out she wasn't at home either.I cut a piece of the steak, while it was still in the pan,and forked it into my mouth, chewing absently even though the piece was delicious.Then I cut a generous slab, cutting them further into pieces before

CHAPTER 48 MAZE “Maze…Maze…”It was the pretty woman from my dreams.Her eyes gleamed unnaturally as she pulled me into a hug, holding me tightly.“You did it,” she whispered, pulling away from the hug. “You found your light…”She held my hands,a bit tighter than needed. “You must keep it now,do everything you can…”“Mother…I'm…” My throat suddenly felt weird,like something was lodged in it. And try as I could to swallow it,it wouldn't go down.My mother grinned,then cupped my cheek,the band of her amethyst ring,cool against my suddenly heated skin.“You must go now…”Again,I tried to speak but instead gagged–I gagged so hard,it pulled into consciousness,just as I felt the cold towel on my temple.“Maze,” Jordan called as he rushed from the bathroom,just as my stomach lurched again.I quickly bolted from the bed as vomit filled my mouth, making it to the toilet just in time to lose my dinner.“You're alright, darling…” Jordan cooed behind me as he held my hair
