Semua Bab Wolfless Hybrid: The Awakened Witch : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Ciara's POV I have no doubt that Maya is strong. But strength alone won’t be enough, she’ll need the resolve to carry it through. If it proves too much, I’ll do it myself. Or Oliver will. Now that they’ve finally come to understand each other, I’m more confident than ever that he won’t let Maeve, or anyone, get close enough to hurt her.I had asked a friend to smooth the wooden stakes and wrap the grip end in a thin, enchanted binding, and to also aid channeling the energy. A firm hold is essential, whether throwing or using them in hand-to-hand combat. Personally, I had always recommend throwing, but with vampires, that comes with its own risks. They’re so fast, even the slightest miscalculation could mean a missed opportunity. The key is to learn how to direct the stake with magic, guiding it like an extension of your will, straight to the heart.Maya spent the first hour practicing on a stationary target, a dummy I had set up with a marked heart zone. It was a small step, but a vi

Maeve's POV “Reina,” Darius said, his tone cool and unreadable, “we need to speak with you and Maeve. We have a few questions.”He walked over to stand beside me. The message was clear, even if Reina didn’t know why they were here, I did. And since she was in the dark, I would pretend to be just as clueless.Oliver’s gaze shifted to Reina. “Are you involved in what Maeve did?” Straight to the point. That surprised me.Reina blinked. “I don’t even know what she did. What’s going on?”We were close, but I hadn’t let her in on my plan to take care of Oliver’s little mate. I assumed I could handle it alone, and I still believed I could.“I’ve met my mate,” Oliver said, voice tight. “Maeve, who refuses to accept that I don't want her, tried to kill her today.”Reina gasped, and I could see the realization in her face, that she was not part of this. Her reaction gave her away immediately.Oliver studied her for a beat, then said coldly, “Don’t let Maeve’s actions get you thrown out of my c

Rita's POV Maeve was quiet for another two minutes, her eyes calculating. Then she finally spoke. “I want compensation,” she said plainly. “Oliver is furious with me after what happened this morning. He’s trying to force me out of the coven, and I have nowhere else to go.”She crossed her arms. “So either those men offer me a home near their pack for protection, or I want three hundred thousand dollars. Oliver won’t want me even if Maya disappears. I know that now. This is my only chance to survive, and I’m not doing this for free.”“That’s not good,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “I’m sorry. I really thought this would help with your problem. But I can’t promise anything without getting permission. I can’t call him this late, his mate would notice, and that’s the last thing we need.”I hesitated before offering, “I’ll reach out tomorrow and meet you again tomorrow night. Same place. Will that work?”I wanted this done. Desperately. But I couldn’t give her what she wanted w

Damien's POV “You’re late,” I growled into the phone. She might be helping us, but she needs to understand I don’t tolerate being kept waiting.“I’m sorry,” she replied quickly. “Training ran long, and I had a lot to take care of before I could slip away. But I have to tell you, I don’t have great news.”My stomach dropped. Had someone discovered her involvement? Had the plan been exposed?“I’m dropping the call,” I said coldly, lowering my voice. I wasn’t about to let her drag me into anything that could be traced back to me.“I’m alone,” Rita said firmly. “I can video call you right now if you need proof. Just listen.”I stayed silent, giving her space to speak.“The problem is the vampire,” she continued. “She tried to attack Maya yesterday, like I already told you, but there’s more. Oliver found out about the attack, and he’s furious. He’s trying to have her thrown out of the coven. Here’s the worst part: she told me that if we had come to her just a few days earlier, she would h

Maya's POV Oliver had moved in last night, but he had left early this evening for a quick trip back to his coven. He was gone for about two hours and didn’t return to our house until a little past ten. I stayed up, waiting for him. I heard the door open and close when he came in, my mother had already added his biometrics ID to the security system, so he could enter freely. Only six of us had that privilege in the entire pack: my mother and me, Ashton and Lauren, and Oliver and Wade. That was it. My mother had only included Ashton and Wade out of respect, for the sake of unity and trust.We had dinner together tonight, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. As much as I love my sisters, tonight felt… different. Oliver had gone to speak with Darius and Luke at the coven but made it back by six. My mother, ever doting, had even made sure a raw steak was prepared just for him. The blood on the plate didn’t bother me as much as I expected. I knew he had brought back blood from his
