Mia POV
Jumping into the dating pool is hard. I cannot go on dates as much as I would like since I work almost every night. Ava and I talked well into the night last night. It has been two weeks since Patrick made out with me. I still wonder how he found out about my stripper past.
This morning I stood up with a new lease on life. I don't need a man to be happy. I have my brother and wonderful friends. I also have my work. A very impressive job. I mean I finally sing. It's my dream come true.
I will not sit and wait for my dream man to come to me. I am going to live my life one day at a time. If he shows up great if not it is his loss.
Today I am working behind the counter as a bartender. Scott asked me a week ago to help with a new talent that he discovered. Today is her first night up on stage.
I was worried when Scott told me about the new girl. I asked him point-blank if I needed to worry about my job. He told me not to worry. He ju
Mia POVI was awoken by someone in the bathroom. I try to focus and hear gaging inside the bathroom. All the fogginess leaves me and I knew that it was Liam in the bathroom.I stand up and look at the clock. It's just past 3 am. I was barely asleep for 4 hours. I grab my robe and walk towards the bathroom. I open the door and see Liam hunched over the toilet. I walk up to him and rub my hand slowly over his head."Hey, buddy. Are you okay?" He looks up at me. His face is pale."I don't know. I woke up feeling ill and the next moment I had to run to the bathroom." Liam sits down next to the toilet his head on his hands.I pick Liam up and place him on top of the cupboard next to the washbasin. I walk to the bath and pick up Liam's washcloth. I wet it with cold water and start cleaning Liam's face.I take Liam back to my room and tuck him in. I walk to the kitchen to get some medicine for Liam.I wake Liam back up and gave h
Grayson POVI have been locked up in the packhouse for 4days now. Courtney's dad still hasn't made his move and it is making me crazy. How am I going to find my mate if I need to stay inside the whole time?I walk to the woods. I need to let my wolf and angel loose. They are both getting antsy. I walk just past the tree line and let my wolf change.I give all power over to him. I have walked these woods many times with Max so I know it quite well. I tell my wolf to run towards the opening next to the river. He runs in circles enjoying himself before setting off towards the river.Once we arrived at the river Ernouf didn't give me back control. He ran towards the river and first took a few sips. I feel myself change back.I look at the river. It looks so cool and inviting. I decided that I was going to take a dip after I stretched my wings.I give over to my Angel side Ansiel. I feel my wings growing out of my back until it is fin
Grayson POVMax and I got up early this morning to go for a run around the pack borders. I need to speak to Alpha Ivan today. I cannot sot and wait for something to happen.We either need to be active in chasing away this guy or I am going out, exploring the country. I cannot simply hide away from him.I walk into Alpha Ivans's office. He is on the phone speaking to someone and it sounds heated. He throws down his phone and looks at me."Can I help you with something Grayson?""Yes, I would like to request for me to go out and explore.""Grayson you know that it is too dangerous to leave pack territory.""With all due respect Alpha, I came here to search for my mate. How am I going to do that while I am stuck inside? And how are you going to protect me once I leave for the next country?""I understand your frustration, but I need to keep you safe. For the time being, you are in my country so you are my responsibility. I w
Grayson POVI walk down and see a guy standing outside next to a black SUV. I do not recognize him so I went to introduce myself."Hi, I am Grayson." The guy takes my hand and gives it a firm shake."My name is Ignacio Botero." I hear footsteps behind me so I turn around and see Max standing there in a dress. The dress she is wearing is black with little pink roses on it. The sleeves are made of black lace that also has flower patterns on them. She decided to wear her hair loose and it really brings out her playful side."Wow, you clean up nice, Max," Ignacio says. Max gives a chuckle and gets into the car. We all follow her."So Alpha Ivan decided to send my insufferable brother-in-law to chaperone us tonight." Max looks at Ignacio while fullering her eyes."He wanted to make sure that Grayson remembers his mission and not try anything funny. I agree with the Alpha. You two have spent too much time in each company as is." I see the anger ri
Grayson Pov.I am waiting for Max to let me know what time the bullfights start, but I haven't seen her at all today. Which doesn't seem like Max. Usually, we start our day off by running through the forest together, but she also didn't pitch up for that. It doesn't bother me. Maybe she just had some stuff to do.I see Beta Diego and Ignacio walking towards me. They both look worried and that does not sit well with me. I stand up to greet them, but before I could get a word out Beta Diego starts talking."Have you seen Max today?" Beta Diego asks me. He has a deep frown on his face. It makes him seem more demanding than usual."No, I haven't actually. In fact, I was just wondering where she is. We go for a run each morning, but she didn't show up. We also had plans to go see a bullfight today. The last time I saw her was last night when she went up to her room after the show." I looked confused at the two men standing in front of me.I can see Beta
Grayson POVI run as fast as I could to Beta Diego's room. I need to show him the note before it is too late. He told me I have 24 hours and then Max dies. I don't know how long I have left since I don't know when the note was left.I knock on the door, waiting impatiently for someone to open the door.The door is opened by a woman that I guess is Max's mother. The lady is the spitting image of Max."Evening Grayson. Can I help you with something?" I looked shocked at this woman. how the hell did she know my name? I haven't even met her before. She chuckles as if she could read my mind."Did you really think I don't know who you are? You are the only person my daughter has been talking about. You are the first person in 3 years that made Max smile. You are also the most famous hybrid out there. And you are the only new face in the pack." She gives me the kindest and caring smile I have ever seen. I feel myself relax. I need to remember why I
Grayson POVI run back to my room to go and get dressed. I make as fast as I could. Every second count in this situation.I walk back outside and see Ignacio is already waiting for me. He looks like he has this black cloud hanging over his head."What did Beta Diego tell you?" I ask him once I am seated on the passenger seat."He didn't tell me much. He just gave me this piece of paper telling me that I need to take you there. He told me that you will fill me in as we drive." I nod my head. I guess there wasn't much time for Beta Diego to tell him what is going on."When I got back to my room after the search there was a note. Basically, ii said that he has Max and that I need to come to him. Alone.""Who is he?" I can hear the confusion in his voice."The assassin that followed me here.""The guy we were looking for? The one that is the parents of your friends? But why did he take Max? What do you know about this guy anyway?"
Grayson PovAnsiel retreats back into my mind and with him my wings also retracted. I look around the room just to see if there is anything of importance. Maybe I can take something to make it look like a robbery gone bad, but no police will believe that this was done by a human. All I can do now is hope that no evidence leads them back to us, to me.I was hit by the realization that I let my only guide back to the territory go back without me. I can always turn into my wolf and run back, but I don't have a clue where I am going. I walk out of the room and take a deep long breath. How the hell am I going to get back home? This is a nightmare.Ignacio walks towards me out of the shadows. He has this 'I told you' look on his face. I stand with my hands folded in front of me."You know, I am not even mad that you didn't listen to me. I am so happy to see you." Ignacio comes and stands in front of me. He has a look of sympathy on his face."Well I hear
