Dinner was quite uncomfortable for Maya despite the fact that Grey was barely looking at her. On the table was just her, Grey, and Zing. She tried her best to feel at ease, but with Grey's presence, she was failing. When she felt full finally, and unable to eat much anymore due to the knot tied in her stomach, she pushed her chair backward, and stood up.Grey dropped his spoon. "Have you taken your medicine?" He inquired, and Maya realized her drugs were not on the table."They're not here," she said to him."Cora," Grey called Cora, who was walking by at the moment. She stopped immediately. "Yes, alpha?" She answered."Where's the Luna's medicines?" He asked."I didn't serve..." She began to speak, and Grey shot her an hardened look, forcing her to stare at her feet."Get them," he said, and she nodded and walked away. "And you, sit," he ordered Maya."You're not the boss of me," she scowled.Grey clenched his jaw, and inhaled. "Sit," he said through gritted teeth.Maya stared at hi
Maya whimpered as tears stung her eyes. Her imagination had already ran wild that she was falling, but in reality, Grey was holding her. "Open your eyes," he lazily said to her. Maya was ripped out of her imagination, as she opened her eyes to see Grey holding her. He pulled her up. "You talk of death so freely, yet, you're afraid to die," he scoffed, as he let go of her. She stood there shaking visibly from head to toe. "You're a werewolf, brown eyes. A fall from a building will not kill you, but only bruise you and break some of your bones" he said to her, as he began to take off his clothes.Maya didn't look at him. Her mind was thinking rapidly. For a moment, out of the fear of death, she had forgotten her inability to die easily, which were the pecks that was associated with being a werewolf. Why did he pretend like he was throwing her off the window? Only for her to open her eyes and find him holding on to her like his life depended on it. She watched him, and came to a conclus
Grey forced his eyes open, and for a few seconds, his eyes were distant. He pulled away from Maya when he realized he was still holding her. He got to a digging position, and grunted as he placed his hand on his head to ease the hammering headache he was feeling. "Not again," he muttered underneath his breath. He had always had dreams that when he wakes up, he doesn't remember the faces of the people in his dream. The dreams always felt real whenever he wakes up. Last night dream was different. He always dreamt about a girl he could hardly see, and sometimes about two people he still couldn't recall, and now, last night, he had dreamt about death. The death of one of them.He wondered why he kept having these dreams, and why they felt so real, and yet, he had no answer to any of his questions.He shut his eyes closed, and groaned. His cellphone beeped on the table, and he reached for it. It was a message from Zing, letting him know they had a scouts meeting. He returned the cellphone
The elders were seated in the study room as the clock struck noon. Eli ran his fingers in his silver streaked hair as he waited impatiently with the rest for the alpha. He didn't want to be here because he had a guess what the meeting was all about, but, he knew better than to disobey Grey. Grey strode into the study room, and walked over to his seat behind his desk. The five elders were seated separately. Two in front of Grey, and the rest on the grey sofa, rested against one side of the wall. They stood up to greet him in respect "Greetings, elders. I had a few things to take care of," he said, explaining his lateness without really tendering an apology. "Do sit," he added. They were quite surprised as they sat down, because Grey never explains himself. Eli mentally shook his head. He had a eerie feeling it had to be with Maya. That castrated omega, he said to himself. "To the reason why we're gathered here," Grey began, as he sat down, placing both hands on the table. "Last tim
"Why do you look like you've got something stuck on your tongue?" Grey asked with an unreadable expression on his face."Can you read my mind?" She inquired out of perplexity and curiousness.He raised a brow. "And why would I be able to?" He asked her, peering into her eyes, and daring her to say the word.Instead, she shook her head. "It's nothing," she said looking away. If he could read my mind, it could only mean I was his mate also, but that was quite impossible. I can't feel his vulnerability or his mate bond, she said to herself.That's because, I've put a wall around me, Maya. That's why you can't tell we're mates, he said in his head as he looked at her. "Come on," he said, prodding her into the stables. They stood before a wide range of horses, and Maya stared at them all. She and Gwen had only been outside talking about the horses without seeing them. "Which of the horses do you fancy?" He asked her.Maya walked in front of the stalls each horses were in. "Which of them is
Maya stared at the slender, pouting lips before her with an incomprehensible look on her face. "I just asked a question. Who the fuck are you?" She demanded in a pissed off tone.Maya shrugged. "Maya... Maya Caesar," Maya said simply."I don't give two fucks what your name is. What are you doing in here?" She asked, eying Maya from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. "And wearing Grey's clothes," she inquired, with pure rage in her eyes.Maya was beginning to think the woman before her was closed to Grey, and that was why she could call him by his name without regard or fear. Maya got exasperated by her presence and her demanding questions. "I think you should ask the alpha himself. He's in a better position to tell you," she said to her.She moved closer to Maya. "You better give me an explanation on why a mere rat like you is in Grey's room," she said through gritted teeth.Maya stared hard at her. "Could you please leave? I need some peace," she said, her brows narrowin
"That was weird. I wasn't expecting that," Grey said, as he walked over to the closet."What were you expecting?" She asked, watching him take off his peacoat."Questions," he replied modestly."Questions like?" She inquired, a bit curiously."Who is Vivian?" He said with a shrug as he hung the coat. "Is it important?" Maya asked, and he could feel her eyes on him.He turned to her. "You'll be seeing her everyday," he answered."Why?" Maya inquired."Because she's a part of the pack, and she's always here especially during breakfast and dinner," he said, as he began to take off his sweatshirt, and Maya looked away, staring at her fingers."Why haven't I been seeing her?" She asked, bit by bit, getting to know who Vivian was, despite the fact that she had played uninterested."She went to see the world. What she calls an adventure. She's been touring for two months now," he said, as he carelessly threw the shirt into the laundry basket, and approached her."Hmm," she said with a scoff
The sun rays filtered through the little space along the tightly closed curtains, and rested on Maya's face. Maya fluttered her eyes as she stifled a yawn, forcing her eyes opened. She laid on the bed motionless for a little while. Her mind drifting back to the dream she had last night."Stone her to death!" The crowd was yelling."She deserves to die!" The crowd ranted more angrier than before. There she sat on the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks as she felt suddenly powerless."Shamelessly frolicking with the emperor when she's not part of us!" One lady from the crowd said, her voice at the top of her lungs."What are we waiting for? Let's stone her to death!" They yelled, and picked up stones, angling them at her. They lifted their stones high, and casted them towards her. She closed her eyes bracing up for the pain that would associate with the impact of the stones, but none was forthcoming.She opened her eyes, when she heard t
