Nina’s pov- My chest was tight with the ache in my heart. It just seems so surreal to know that Ashton was really gone, to know that my mum was really gone. everything feels empty with the knowledge that yet another person I cared for was no longer here. if I text him, I now wouldn’t get a reply. if I needed my mother she wouldn’t be there to answer when I call. I gripped at Mavericks shirt, my forehead leaning against his chest. The touch of his palm soothing me in the sweetest way as he held me against his body. He smelt so good, the smell of his cologne a warmth to me. I was no longer crying but I couldn’t bring myself to let him go, I was afraid that if I did, I would break all over again. I was a girl who didn’t break, I didn’t want to break. but here I am, in the arms of a boy I had met only once. He was a stranger but, in this moment, he didn’t feel like one. In this moment he was much more, he was my anchor to the ground, my safety jacket that let me swim without drowning. H
Mavericks pov- I was tormenting myself as we were quickly approaching Nina’s driveway. I had thought about taking a couple of pointless turns to drag out my time with her but one look at her dripping wet hair and soaked through dress and I knew I had to get her home. It was a long walk but still not enough time to ease my wolf or please me. The walk was nice though, my brothers followed from a distance but still gave us the privacy we needed. It was good, to be close to her rather than having to stay away from her like I had to do all week. Now that I have had her company for more than a few minutes I now don’t think It would be possible for me to stay away, not because of my wolf but because I wanted to see her again, spend more time with her. Maybe tonight was proof that it is possible to be around her safely, I had managed to stay in control the entire night with no slip ups, my wolf not even attempting anything weird like marking her, fuck! If he did some shit like that then I wo
Well, my weekend was eventful to say the least. After my melt down at the grill on Saturday I had refused to leave the house for the rest of the weekend. I was embarrassed not only for my scene at the grill but my breakdown in front of Maverick. He had handled the situation really well and seemed genuinely concerned for me but that didn’t make the reality of how I had publicly behaved any less of an embarrassment. Uncle Jesse was up and out of the house early Sunday morning leaving me free to spend the whole of the morning to cry it out, only stopping when I was forced too with a knock on the door from Lucas in the late afternoon. He was sweet, he wanted to stop by and check on me and Arleen had sent him with a bag of food to make sure that I was eating and not skipping meals like I had been doing. I felt horrid for my behaviour towards her on Saturday evening, I made a mental note to apologise for knocking her over in the process of fleeing the grill, she didn’t deserve that, and I sp
I jumped in my seat at a harsh knocking against the outside of the windscreen, dragging me miserably back to the reality that was the school parking lot and with a hand to my now furiously beating heart caused by the fright I came face to face with Lucas with an unamused frown upon his face. He had managed to get out the car and everything while I had sat here in a complete daydream. Fuck was today going to be a long day for me. I took my seatbelt of and opened the car door before Lucas has another chance to knock the fear back into me. “What where you doing falling asleep in there?” he fired as quick as a nine mill. “Sorry, I know I’m a mess, I’m working on it” I eased an apology. “Yeah, Don’t I know it” he remarked, Ouch! I didn’t need and could have done without the confirmation that I was indeed a living, breathing cliche. “The bell is two seconds away from ringing, I won’t be able to walk you to class if you don’t hurry up” Lucas ranted. He was so grouchy today, maybe being ta
“So, Mav gets a greeting, but we don’t?” one of his brothers chimed in thankfully slicing through the intense staring contest I had unknowingly entered with Maverick. “Not at all, hi” I forced my eyes away from Mavericks to the boy standing beside him. “Axel” he held his hand out in a greeting gesture. “I remember, it’s nice to see you again Axel” I shook his outstretched hand “Hmm, it’s nice to see you too Jasmine” he smiled the brightest yet goofiest smile my way. “Erm my names Nina” I corrected him, awkwardly glancing to Maverick for some help but he was too distracted with something behind me to come to my rescue. I wonder if he’s, ok? He seems a little tense but then again everyone seems to be off today, Uncle Jesse was grouchy and then Lucas too, maybe it was one of those days for everyone. “Excuse my brother and his childish behaviour” Levi swatted Axel at the back of his head. “Hey, what? she smells like jasmine flowers” he whined turning back to face me “you smell like
Maverick’s pov- A sense of excitement run through me, it almost felt like a power surge. Nina was playful and my wolf pined to play along, to chase her and tease her like she did me. ‘Did one of you get that?’ I linked my brothers, my eyes following after Nina as she made her way back to Lucas. ‘I did’ Levi announced appearing at my side alone, his hand outstretched towards me with a small piece of paper between his two fingers. ‘thankyou’ I thanked, taking Nina’s number from him and stuffing it in my pocket. “he’s pissed” he remarked, and I hummed in agreement as we both watched Nina approach a far from happy Lucas. My wolf felt threatened, stupid I know because Lucas is human, he doesn’t have the connection of the mate bond that Nina and I do. It took me some strength to control my wolf when she was in our presence with Lucas projecting his anger and jealousy out for all wolves to smell. I can sense the jealousy he radiated from here like a bad smell. There is no doubt that he
Nina’s pov- This morning I had woke way too early for my liking. I kept having this dream, A dream that I couldn’t remember a single thing about once my eyes had opened. It was the type of dream that woke me with a startle, every single hour throughout the entirety of the night until I had finally made the decision to forget the futile attempts at sleeping and figuring it will be best that I just get up and start the weekend at five in the morning. Uncle Jesse on the other hand got a lie in for the first time since I had arrived in his home, he didn’t wake up until just after nine o’clock when usually he would be up and out of the front door by nine. It was now eleven o’clock and I was currently sat on the sofa flicking through the tv channels, I wasn’t one for watching television usually I would stick to books or watch the odd series that caught my attention. But I needed to do something, I was trying everything I can to distract myself. I had called Natalie this morning but today w
Maverick’s pov- I have searched book after book, news article after news article, hell I have pried through the entire web and still I can’t find an explanation that would explain Levi’s worries and concerns. I was losing hope, losing patience with every passing second. For the past few days, I have done nothing but pry into every myth that I can find in order to get some answers that can explain Nina, a human mate. A human mate with a scent that intrigues other shifters. My wolf was far from at ease with the knowledge that our mate unknowingly has a scent that grabs the attention of the males around her. Since Monday in the parking lot, I have kept my distance from Nina, for no reason other than for the sake of myself because in all honesty I didn’t trust my wolf with how intensely displeased he is with how close she is with Lucas, and that statement of my brothers on how Nina’s scent calls to their wolves. Yeah, he wanted nothing more than to smother her in our scent to ward off w
