MAYA'S POV
The next morning, I was up quite early but even at that, Travis was up earlier and when I woke up, he was no longer in bed.While I freshened up and got ready for my first activity of the day, which was the run I promised myself I would attempt, I pondered his offer from yesterday.Had he forgotten or was he not intentional about actually going with me and had only said it in passing?Yesterday, I was the one who held opposition towards his company today but now that it was a new day, my thoughts had changed.When I woke up and didn't see him in bed, a wave of disappointment washed over me and it was then I realised that unlike what I thought, a part of me was looking forward to going on a run with him.Sometimes, I found my feelings enigmatic because of how suddenly I could switch from not wanting something to wanting it."I guess I shouldn't have read too much into his statement and held out hope that he meaMAYA'S POVI couldn't shift.Not like this. Not with Travis's overwhelming presence right behind me. I could feel his eyes on me, watching me or better still, waiting."You didn't necessarily have to come with me," I glanced over my shoulder to mumble, fiddling with my fingers.Genuinely, I had no idea why I was nervous as well. Travis had seen me in my wolf form, just a couple of days ago too but morphing right in front of him now seemed like a feat I was incapable of bringing myself to perform.Already, I could feel my wolf nudging me, wanting to break free but my mind was fighting her and I had no idea why.Was I ashamed to morph in front of my mate?I turned around to take another peek, only to realise that he was still looking at me with a gaze full of expectancy.Suddenly, he stood up and dusted the sand that had clung to his palm from touching the bare floor, then c

MAYA'S POVI was skeptical but then I allowed myself to relax and focus only on reenacting that peculiar feeling my wolf had presented earlier."It's happening, it's really happening," Adrianna's shrill scream made my eyes snap open. There was a huge grin on her face, and she radiated so much joy one would think she was the one with the powers, but ultimately, I smiled as well.She had helped me confirm that this was not a time ability but a special trait that belonged to me."Wow, this is huge. We don't have to worry about being unable to heal from fatal injuries because we have you," In her excitement, she hugged me then stepped back, still gushing."Yes, I can be helpful to Travis now," I muttered and it stunned both of us so much we went silent.The creak of the door snagged both of our attention and we looked over. My eyes widened even further when I saw Travis standing there, quietly staring at me.Had he heard wha
MAYA'S POV"Where's Alex?" Sylvia's voice raised a flurry of anxious voices who began to look around, to find the said person."He was here earlier," Someone mentioned."I saw him too," Another seconded.I glanced at the spot I last saw him standing, fighting off a rouge, wondering where he had disappeared to while we were all distracted by Julian and assumed he had left before that happened because there was no way he would leave while Julian was injured."Was he taken by the rogues?" Jay asked, making Sylvia panic even more."He wasn't," I answered. Some of the rogues had managed to escape but there was no way they could have captured and taken him in town while running for their lives."He might have given chase," Travis, who seemed to be the most unruffled one amongst us, pointed to us, and we all exclaimed in realization.He turned and handpicked two of the wolves from our Pack, delegating them to go in sea
TRAVIS' POVI never realized fear could be this numbing like cold steel against bare skin and in just a split moment, I felt my soul exit my body and my heart pounded with terror, feeling like it would explode out of my body and yet, just a couple of minutes later, that unbelievable amount of fear I felt turned in shock and astonishment.Sylvia's growl had rumbled around us, deep and threatening, when Maya had suddenly yanked the knife out of Julian, but now she was quiet, eyes wide open in shock, shifting from Maya to the gradually closing wound on Julian's chest."It's...It's...healing," She stuttered in amazement.I never imagined this was possible, there had never existed a wolf which could withstand the effect of the lethal mix of wolfsbane and nightshade and neither had there been any wolf that could heal with just a single touch but, it was happening right in front of us and the doer of such an astonishing phenomenon was my mate."
MAYA'S POVMy capabilities were limited, so all I could do was stand on the side and watch as Travis' men joined in the fray; even Sylvia had engaged in the fight, landing a hard blow on one wolf out of the two that had cornered Julian.The rogues were more in number than we expected and each of them looked to be quite strong.Sylvia's movements were mesmerizing, her body fast and nimble yet graceful like a river swan, but right now, her expression was far from that of a swan.Anger was written boldly across her face and she swore as she deflected a sneak attack from a rogue, "You bastards, you dare injure my brothers, I'm going to kill you."My lips drew back stiffly, and I watched her in disbelief; I never thought she had this side to her.She held my attention for a few more minutes, I would have loved to keep watching her, so I could learn a thing or two from her moves, she was after all a Sentinel before getting married to J
