MAXINEIt's been almost a week and I still have not heard from Liam. I contemplated going to the pack house to see him but I know how much he hates someone coming over without his permission.I hadn't even seen him in the pack hospital or heard any talks of him in town. It was oddly quiet.When I remembered how coldly he had acted to me, I didn't want to see him anymore. I think it was better like this. If he gave me space and stopped showing up, I wouldn't be worried about him as much.I unlocked my door and just then Lindsey came to meet me. "Hey there, neighbor!" She said cheerily."Oh yeah," I said. "Wait here." I went back into the house and got the blowtorch I had borrowed from her.I went to meet her and returned it. "Sorry, I took so long to return it. Thank you." I said. She took it from me."How was the cake?" She asked."Huh? What cake?" I asked back, confused.She chuckled. "You know, the one you borrowed my blow torch for?""Ohh, that cake. It was okay. I'm not too good w

MAXINEI was shocked. And it wasn't because Liam had just invited me to go to a party. He had invited me to go to a party… with me. He wanted to go somewhere with the outcast."Maxine," Liam said snapping me back to reality. His piercing gaze was on me.I took deep breaths. "I… what about work tomorrow? I have—" I said, panicking and coming up with excuses. What would people think if they saw me with Liam at a party?I wasn't his Luna, I wasn't a wolf. I was nothing. They would see right through me."I will handle that. Do you have a dress or do I have to get you one?" He asked, sternly.I tried to think. The only dress I had for an event was the one I wore that festival when Tobias found Ella as his mate. I didn't know if that was suitable."Let me go get it," I said, waiting for him to permit me to go to my bedroom.He nodded and waved me away. "You can go." He said.I hurried to the bedroom and entered, closing the door behind me. I leaned on it and exhaled deeply. I couldn't stay

LIAMI smiled, excitement cursing through my bones as I held onto the head of the rogue wolf. He was bleeding but I didn't care. I let go of him and he slumped to the floor.Alpha Gerald didn't dare take his eyes off of me. For his good. I had to give him some credit, he wasn't quivering or shaking in his boots. He even had the guts to look angry."What is the meaning of this?" Alpha Gerald demanded, standing to his feet. "Are we going to listen to the confession of a rogue?"I smiled. "You do know that he didn't say a name first, don't you? He searched for the faces in the crowd and then right at you.""How can we trust a rogue?" Another voice out."If you'd like more evidence, why don't we ask Mimcy who had been fortunate enough to overhear Alpha Gerald's conversation?" Liam asked. He gestured and a lady strode out confidently."Did he or did he not have relations with rogues?" I asked."He did. He offered up your location in exchange that they make sure to kill you." Mimcy replied.

MAXINELiam tried to wipe the blood on his face but he just merely smudged it. I didn't know his plan but he couldn't stay at the festival for long looking like this.I reached for the napkin. "Can I?" I asked. He let go of the napkin and I wiped the smudge on his cheek."Let's head back," Kris said to Liam."I didn't want to leave right after crashing their party," Liam said."You're covered in blood," Kris said the obvious."Part of the act?" Liam laughed. Then he turned to me. "Do you want to stay?"I was surprised he was asking me. I shook my head. I didn't belong among these people. "No, thanks," I said."Okay. Let's go." Liam said and he began to walk away. Varis and Kris waited for me to follow behind me before they walked behind us.Alpha Harold intercepted our path. He smiled and held his hand out for Liam. Liam shook it."Thank you for this opportunity, Alpha Liam. I will not disappoint you." He promised."I would expect nothing less." Liam returned. He let go of his hand an

MAXINEVaris and Karis got off their chairs carefully and crouched behind them, facing the door.Liam crouched as well and I did the same. He crouched towards me. "The house is surrounded." He whispered.I nodded. "I know. I think I heard something outside." I replied using the same town.He quirked his brows. He must be wondering how I heard it but I didn't have to be a werewolf to hear things."I need you to go to my room. It's on the other end of the house. Get under the bed and hide. No matter what you hear, don't make a sound." He instructed.I nodded, my heart beating quickly in my chest."Put on my shirt. Go now." He said.I crouched quietly, walking to his room. Just then, I heard the crashing of what was most definitely the front door, followed by a loud growl. The back door burst open but I was already in Liam's room.I grabbed the shirt he had been wearing when we came here hours ago and put it on before I crawled under the bed. I knew then why he had told me to come into h

MAXINELiam was going to kill a lot of people, I was sure. I could feel his murderous intent from here but he was smiling. And joking about the chicken.I helped Varis tie up the unconscious attackers one by one before he started to make some calls. I looked for my phone in the kitchen where I had been using it to cook.It was on the floor, shoved under the refrigerator, probably during a scuffle. I brought it out and found a few scratches but it still worked perfectly.Less than an hour later, cars were pulling over in front of the house. We stood to our feet and walked outside, with Kris of course. He was healing well. We stood, watching the park.Men in formal attire got out of the cars and surrounded the front of the house, turning their backs to it. They were guarding us, when we didn't need it anymore.The Alpha Beck of the Crimson River Pack got out of his car with, surprisingly, my father Alpha Harold. They walked towards Liam."What happened here?" Alpha Beck asked. Although

MAXINEI went to work the very next day. Even though the night before with Liam had felt strange, I returned to work. I didn't want to bet on the fact that he was going to help me out with my job at the pack hospital.I didn't know how long the leave he had gotten me extended for. So, I didn't want to risk it. Besides, I was bored at home.At work, nothing new had happened. It was the usual gossip mill. Some nurse was screwing some doctor and one or both of them were worried. I met some people who had been searching for me to buy herbs. I gave them my number.I was going to stick to delivering the herbs to them. I didn't want a repeat of Alpha Gerald. If more people knew where I lived, the risk of getting attacked was raised much higher.Someone with good intentions could give my address to someone who didn't mean well.As I walked home, I was reminded of Ella and Tobias. I hadn't seen them in days and I don't think I had invited them to my new place. I wonder if they had heard that I

MAXINEMy jaw must have been touching the floor. I couldn't hold back my surprise. I was short of words. Of all the things bothering her, I had never considered that Tobias cheating was one of them."What?" I asked. "How did you find out?"For as long as I've known Tobias, I never for once thought that he was that kind of person. He seemed upright, with good values.Well, I guess I wouldn't know. I had never really been in a relationship with him. Ella was the one. So, I wouldn't know what he was like when someone was in a relationship with him."I… just feel so. He comes home later than usual. He doesn't talk much with me anymore. I…" Her eyes glistened with fresh tears. "I don't even think he wants the baby anymore.""Oh, Ella," I said, immediately wrapping my arms around her and pulling her to my side. "Don't say that. Of course, Tobias wants the baby. He could never not want it."She wiped her tears and pulled away from me. "Then why is he acting this way? He suddenly just changed

MAXINEI nodded. "Yeah. And she's thinking things." I replied.Tobias ran a hand through his hair. "I messed up. Shit." He replied. "I've just been working extra hard, getting more jobs. I'm doing it for our future, for our baby.""She doesn't know that. All she sees is that you're coming home later and not seeing her." I said. "Her words. She says it's like you know that she's around but you don't see her. She thinks it's because there's someone else. Someone else who has your attention, your time, your love."He let it sink into his head. "I was just so tired. Always am. I didn't know this was affecting her too." He said."You should go let her know. I'll wait here so you guys can talk. Or better still, I'll leave." I offered."Thanks for all you do, Maxine. Thank you." He said."Don't mention. What are friends for?" I said. I left the room.Ella was still in the kitchen, cleaning. My thought was that she was trying to keep herself busy. But I knew that she was thinking about Tobias

MAXINE"Come, let's go," Nadia said, picking up the tray of antiseptics and surgical scissors.I followed after her into the torch-lit corridors of the pack hospital. The pungent smell of antiseptic hung heavy in the air. Nadia's eyebrows furrowed but she bounced with nervous energy."You were incredible with that delivery, Maxine," Nadia said, her voice filled with awe. "The way you helped her deliver that baby… it was like magic!""Again, the herbs did the job. Not me. Though, I wouldn't call it magic." I said, turning her thoughts down.They reached a doorway draped with heavy furs, muffling the sounds within. A low moan escaped from the room, followed by a muttered curse.Nadia's gaze softened. "Looks like Elara's in good spirits, despite the cracked ribs." She said. She had been worried about her because she had been slow in healing."Yes," I said.Nadia's sighed, her usual cheer dimmed. "But our best doctor is away tending to a rogue sighting near the southern border. We could u
