MAXINEMy heart raced and I tried to free my hand. "You know, your father has been looking for you. He'll be very interested to know where you've been hiding.""Let go of me," I said.He chuckled. "We'll see about that.""Sister!" Someone yelled, coming to me. They shoved the man away. It was Oz. "Annalise, are you okay? Do you know this man?"I rubbed my wrist and looked at him, shaking my head. "No," I said.Oz looked at the man. "Why are you bothering my sister? Poor Annalise has struggled with bad health for many years and now that she can go out, you decide to trouble her?" He asked.The man realized that he had a mistake. "I'm so sorry," he glanced at me. "I thought you were someone else. I'm so sorry."He apologized and left. We watched him go. "Are you okay?" Oz asked."Yeah," I said, "Smart thinking calling me Annalise."He grinned. "I've always wanted a sister named Annalise." He said.I chuckled. "I guess from now on when we're outside, I'm Annalise," I replied.We drove

MAXINE"No, thank you," Zel said. "Anna, let's go."She grabbed her bags and we quickly began to cross the road. It looked like they wanted to follow us until a police car passed by, blaring its siren and slowing down."Are these men disturbing you ladies?" The police officer asked as he rolled his car window down.I looked at the men as they turned and walked away. "Not anymore. Thank you." I said politely."That's a lot of stuff. You people moving in with someone in town?" He asked, seeing our stuff.Zel smiled. "Yes. With our aunt. She's supposed to come pick me and my sister up but she called saying that she'll be a few days late so we're going to find a motel to stay for a while." She said, the lie rolling off her mouth effortlessly.I understood where she was coming from. She didn't want the police officer to snoop into our business. We were legally adults so, there wasn't a problem if we lived alone.The only problem was, Zel and I hadn't gotten our IDs. We would get them here

LIAMWeeks, and there was still no sign of Maxine. I was positive at this point that she had fled the town but to where? Even her father, Alpha Harold, hadn't heard anything about it. Where could she have gone, and why had she left without a word?Still, I sent scouts to look for her. I hope to hear news about her soon. Varis walked into my office, carrying documents. His eyes were tired, the bags under them darker than usual.Ever since Maxine had left, he had to take on the job of both his role and hers. It wasn’t fair to him, but I couldn't bring myself to hire anyone else for her position. Not yet. I wasn't going to hire anyone unless it was her.But, at this rate, I need to give Varis peace. "I have the documents for the automobile shop here and for your meeting at 3 pm." He said, putting them on my desk one after the other."Thank you," I replied, glancing through the files. The stack seemed taller each day. "I appreciate all you’re doing, but it’s clear you’re stretched too thi

MAXINEThere was no one in the room. It was a closet for cleaning products. Inside, there was nothing but cleaning supplies and dust-covered shelves. Zel walked into the room and stepped out."What the hell? Nothing?" She asked, her voice returning to its normal tone now that the fear was gone."I heard it coming from here," I said, also confused. I was positive that the sound had come from here. "This doesn't make any sense. We both heard it.""Maybe it's just the lodge. You know, old buildings can make weird noises." Zel tried.I looked around the room and saw the small keg of cleaning reagent on the floor. I picked it up."This made the sound?" Zel asked, taking it from me.I looked up at the shelf where the others were lined up, and arranged. This couldn't have just fallen on its own. They were too close for one to just fall. This keg was pulled out.I nodded. "But, it didn't fall on its own. Look." I pointed at the shelf. "It has to be pulled out from there. It can't just fall. A

MAXINEHe had short curly blond hair and blue eyes. His skin was a beautiful tan orange and his jaw was chiseled. When he smiled, I was so distracted by his dazzling teeth and pretty lips. They looked like kissable lips…I didn't realize that I had been staring until he chuckled and said, "I'm Conrad." He said. "What's your name?"I cleared my throat. "Annalise." I replied and shook my head quickly, "But you can call me Anna.""Annalise," he tested my name on his lips. Why did it sound so good? Why did I want him to keep saying it that way? "I like that. I'll see you later, Annalise."He walked past me and I turned to watch him go. I didn't realize when a dreamy sigh escaped my lips. Was he real? He looked like he was carefully sculpted by a Greek god."I saw how you looked at him!" Zel teased bumping shoulders with me. "He looks like a cute guy."I acted like I didn't care as I began to fold laundry. "Yeah, I guess.""You guess?" Zel asked. "Are you still hung over hot Alpha who chea
