Maya ran her eyes through the thick crowd for the umpteenth time, and sighed dejectedly. He hadn't come. It had been the main reason why she had come for the party; a chance to see her mate who hadn't recognized her. Her hopes had been really dashed. She had been waiting and searching, for even a glimpse of him.
"We would see him next week." She heard her wolf say, and sighed again. She didn't know whether it would be a good news or not to go to her pack next week. She had a hunch that it would be the later, and it scared her a lot. She might be the strongest warrior in her pack, but she knew she wasn't strong emotionally. She was totally a wuss in that area, a softie.
"Hey, are you okay?" She heard Shane whisper in her right ear, and smiled sincerely. The guy had really been a gentleman for her this night. She knew that he found her
The hallways were thinly lit with florescents, and pictures hung on the walls at strategic positions. 10 years old Cassey in hiking gears, smiling toothily with her mom and dad, then another displaying her at her prom night. The list continued, and Derek couldn't understand this; the placing of pictures on the walls of hallways. He believed that pictures, especially family pictures should all be in rooms, not hallways and passages. Paintings were understandable, but not pictures. Well, humans were really weird. He thought, as he walked behind Cassey whom he believed had added a little shake to her waist as she moved. He didn't care though, she wasn't Emma."Didn't take you long though." He finally stated, breaking the silence which had ensued between them since she had walked up to him some minutes ago, with a not so good news that her father sought for him. His mind had spiralled, and for a
Emma tripped for the third time since she saw the heartbreaking scene, as she hurriedly walked through the hallways to the main hall where the party was still in full bloom.Had she seen it right? She thought, wiping off tears for the umpteenth time from her eyes with her fingers. They were not even a week old, and he was already cheating.She had convinced Maya to follow her, look for him, after waiting for some minutes for his return. They had trailed his scent; Maya had actually done that, citing it was a gift or something. Only to find him enjoying without her, enjoying with a stranger on his laps.She refused to listen to the small voice nagging at the back of head which told her of the untold story behind the cup she had noticed, and the lazy tired look in Derek's eyes
"Where are you going to?" Maya asked Derek, as she sauntered towards him, her hands on her hips, a curious but disappointed look on her face. Of all the things she had expected tonight at the party, her cousin banging some girl other than Emma, wasn't in the list."I'm going after her." He replied, still walking hurriedly towards the entrance.Maya sighed, and walked after him, trying to meet up with his pace, not minding the curious glances they were receiving from the crowd. She knew they would soon get back to what they were doing before the scene occurred. But for now, she had to dissuade her cousin from his mission. Her friend needed some space now, not some cuddling or apology. Perhaps tomorrow, but not now. She was a woman too, and so she knew this things.
Shane could count the number of times he had seen his soon to be alpha so angry;He rarely did. Perhaps once or twice, especially when he had found out that his father had vetoed the idea of merging the packs.But then Shane had never seen it in this fashion.He was motionless, his mouth agape, as he watched Derek fling the two humans he had been holding carelessly on the floor, before hitting and throwing the tables in like manner.He was sure the two humans wouldn't walk for some days, and for that, he was afraid for his friend. They were still serving punishments for their last misconduct, now this.But He still didn't interfere. He could see that Maya was at crossroads. She wanted to stop it, but then it was dangerous to do so. Stoppi
"Emma is your mate?" Clem asked, not pleased at all at the turn of events since he would have to let go of his silly need for the redhead, but still bewildered at the information he was just getting."Oh God." He muttered."Does your father know?" He asked Derek, knowing how bent the Alpha was, on making his twin, Derek's mate."Not yet." Derek replied. "This should be between us for now." He added, rubbing his forehead tiredly. He still didn't know where his little witch was, and it was totally frustrating him.But he needed to set things right now."I still don't understand why you let a betrayer in to the secret, before us. Who knows? She might have told her father already.? Clem stated, looking
Although Maya had known that Clem's thoughts on her were not good per say, she still hadn't expected his outbursts and hostility. Well, she had caused it though; she had followed her father like a sheep and it had cost her a lot of things. She wasn't that sheep anymore; late but still necessary. She still hoped to reconcile with her close friend, as she trudged along the hall area, heading towards the exit. She stopped in her movements, as she heard an argument between two parties; it was hushed but she could still hear it tiny bits of it. She was a wolf after all. She walked towards the sound of the argument, and it led her directly to a closed door, at the side of the hall. She hadn't noticed it when she had come. Perhaps her mind had been filled with a lot of thoughts, especially,
Claire didn't know how long she had stayed in the room, glowing in anger. But she knew it was long enough, for her twin to get a bit worried. He would be coming for her soon. Wrapping her hand around her torso, she leaned on the wall of the room, deep in thoughts. She could hear her wolf whining and protesting against her desperation. Zali wasn't happy with her. But then, it has always been unhappy with her since she started taking lessons from her mother. She could still remember the first time her mother had slapped her, before reminding her of her purpose in life. She had brought her male friend home then. She had been in grade 1. "Who is he?" Her mother had asked, when the boy had left, after he had help
It was on a weekend's morning, Saturday to be precise, the next day after the party, that Maya had visited Emma in her place. Derek had told her, Maya, to promise him that she would make the human see reasons, forgive him, and take him back. And she had complied, even after knowing fully well how strong-headed the redhead could be.****"It's coming out nice." Emma said, as she looked into the pot that sat on the electric cooker, housing a boiling native dish of the county which she had come to love in her week's stay here. It had been one week now, one week since she came into this strange land. She had a feeling that something much more was about to happen; she didn't know exactly what, but she felt it was fate that she was here, and that her life would be taking a new shape soo
