Maya's POV To say I was placed between a rock and a hard place was an understatement.I wasn't sure whether to be upset or flattered that two of the most popular guys in school were fighting over me, practically dragging my hands and putting me in a horrible spot to choose between them and who I'd go with.Daniel was the obvious choice especially after all he'd done to help me get over Micah but for some reason Micah's boldness and assertiveness made me second guess myself.Why had he even come to the table in the first place? What was his motive? To humiliate me further? I wouldn't be surprised especially after all he'd done.I glanced at Daniel and he was glaring at Micah with so much disdain and hate in his eyes , it felt almost tangible. I took a peak at Micah despite my mind telling me not to and he had a self assured smile plastered on his face, his eyes trained at Daniel. It was almost as if he thought I'd choose him over Daniel with the way he was looking at him."You guys
Micah's POV I ground my jaw painfully. It was quite grueling, given how hardly Daniel had punched me in the face. I was sure the fuckwit had been itching to get his hands on me for quite a while. And then, I had taunted and given him the perfect opportunity. If only Maya hadn’t gotten injured in the process.I winced as I remembered the callous way in which she had spoken to me when I had gone to see her in the nurse’s office. She had been livid with rage and didn’t want to talk to me. She asked me to leave and even though I didn’t want to, I obliged. It was better I gave her a while to cool off before I approached her again.I got home and headed straight for the kitchen. I got out a bag of peas and held it up to my jaw, letting the coolness numb my flesh. It felt fucking good.Again, I thought about Maya. Before the fight, she had looked between Daniel and me, torn between who to submit too. I had seen it in her eyes. She may hate my guts but she was attracted to me. She felt the p
Daniel's pov I had never been suspended before and for some reason it felt so foreign to me. Like a red blood stain on a brightly white be spread. I didn't like the feeling but at the same time, I didn't regret putting that Jackass in his place. My only regret was the fact that I Maya had gotten injured in the process. I had not gone home yet. I was too afraid to face my parents, well, not afraid. I just didn't think I could stomach their disappointed faces. I sat on the park bench watching the few parents and kids or pets playing around feeling dejected and stupid for letting my anger get the best of me once again. All I wanted to know was how Maya was doing. School hsd closed hours ago and I had tried reaching her but she'd been unresponsive. Lydia told me she was alright when I reached her that she'd gone home early but I still couldn't help but worry. I needed to go see her to check on her, get het some flowers and apologize for my behavior but all I felt was rage. That
Daniel's pov"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I yelled at the crazy dude with a knife."Neill!" I heard Maya yell from behind her big sister, her voice filled with hope. I didn't have time to say hi as I was dragging her sister's boyfriend away from her."Who the fuck are you?"The guy managed to get away from my hold, glaring at me in spite."Maya's friend. Who the fuck are you and why are you holding a knife towards her sister.""None of your fucking business, man. This is a quarrel between couples. Now why don't you scurry out of here."He glared, his face red as a tomato. He was bigger than I thought. Two inches taller than me but with way more fat to him."Oh, I'm not going anywhere. Not until I make sure you are at least three hundred yards away from Maya and her sister." I seethed."Oh, I see what's going on here," he said with a slight chuckle. "This is him, isn't it? The one you've been spreading your legs open for behind my back?" He directed his question to Maya'
Maya's pov As I closed the door behind Daniel, I couldn't help but be grateful for his visit. He'd even gotten me flowers and my favorite chocolate bar. It was kind of amusing and also sad that he'd thought I'd be mad at him when all he'd done was try to look out for me. I was beyond glad that he'd been there when Micah had decided to show his ugly face… who was I kidding? Micah wasn't ugly and that was the problem but his presence sure was. I let out sigh as I plopped down back on the couch. Daniel had said to stay away from Micah and while I agred with him, there was still something in me that couldn't resist Micah. It should have been easy for me to walk away from him earlier especially after his behavior but I had stood there in confusion, hating he was there but at the same time secretly loving him. "Was I just an idiot?" I asked myself. "No, he's just your mate, dummy!" My wolf said but I completely ignored her. I stood up from the couch again, a little re
Lydia's POV "One bottle of water please!" I yelled for the bartender but he was busy attending to a few guys at the other end of the bar. I glanced over at where Maya was supposed to be sitting and found that she was talking to some random guy that looked too old to be at a bar. I groaned and yelled at the bartender to give me two bottles of water. "Any fucking day now!" I yelled once more and the bartender quickly scurried to the refrigerator and handed two bottles of water to me. "Damn girl, you are impatient." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him and slapped a 2 dollar bill on the table before turning around and walking off dramatically with my bottle of water. I was almost at the table when I realized Maya wasn't there. "Maya!" I called, looking around even though I knew she wouldn't be able to hear me over the loud music but I still tried. I scanned the bar and found Maya sitting on another table with the same creepy dude, smiling up at him as if ready to kiss
Maya's povThe sound of my alarm clock going off practically sent me into cardiac arrest as well I suddenly jumped out of bed."Argh!" I groaned in pain as I held my head in my hands, trying to massage the pain away.Just how much did I have to drink last night?I thought.A whole lot.My wolf said sarcastically."Shut up!" I groaned, still massaging my temples, trying to ease the banging headache that was threatening to take my head.Just then the memories of what had transpired at the bar came rushing to the surface and I cringed at all I had said to Micah.My face turned bright red and I felt like screaming into my pillow. So I did.My alarm went off once more and I shot out of bed and dismissed it."For crying out loud!"I yelled in frustration and groaned almost at the same time.Quickly, I walked over to the bathroom to wash my face and as soon as I was done, I left my room and emerged in the kitchen."Hey, Maya," my aunt's voice came from the Kitchen entrance, startling me."
Maya's povAs I walked away from Micah about to turn to my next class. I felt Micah's hands on mine and he spun me back."Why are you doing this, Maya?" He asked.His amused expression just a minute again morphing into a painful expression."Because you are a terrible person, Micah, that's why." I said deadpanned"No, I am not!" He argued, his eyes widening in protest."Yes you are. You literally got Daniel suspended from school and got him in trouble with his parents!" I said in frustration."No, he got himself suspended from school. He was the one who pounced on me," he gesticulated."And you fought with him and almost broke my neck but here you are, very much unsuspended while Daniel is both suspended.""Oh, come on, that's not my fault.""Yes, it's the fault of you being a privileged brat, do better, Micah. Maybe I'd look your way then but with the way you are acting now? I want nothing to do with you."With that, I pulled my hands away from him and walked out on him. I didn't wan
