Maya's POV
"I. HATE. YOU" I yelled with all the contempt I could muster. But still, it wasn't as hard as I intended it to be. It's kind of difficult to sound angry and hateful when I'm panting and wheezing.
"No, you don't! You hate the fact that neither your puppy nor stinky eyes work on me. I kinda get it now why Luca wanted me to be the one in charge of your training!" Rain laughed hard at my messy state. He was right! What I hated was the fact that I couldn't make him quit or go easy on me.
After waking up, I had to go through physiotherapy for six months. And after that, Luca decided that I needed some basic training. At first, he tried to train me personally. And since I hate it, I made his life miserable. I would throw tantrums, sulk and even cry when he was pers
Maya POVOnce out of the supermarket, I start running through the poorly lightened parking lot pushing a very dysfunctional cart. I get to my car, unlock it and start throwing my groceries on the backseats while getting drenched by the hard rain. The weather is supposed to get worst during the next few days. Thank god it's Friday and I'm free this weekend, I plan to spend it sleeping, eating and watching movies. That's why I bought everything I might need and more.I start the car and turn the heater on, my feet are wet and cold, wearing converse on a rainy day is very stupid,should take it off?I debate about it but decide against it when I remember that I'll have to put it back again later. I start driving back to my place, I need to be extra careful in this weather, even if the streets are basical
Eliane POVThe sound of the pouring rain and the loud thunder were nothing compared to my pounding heart. I was still laying on the couch trying to make sense of what happened last night, I still can't believe it.Maya was sitting on the kitchen stool talking on the phone with our landlord informing him about our abrupt departure. She had the same phone conversation with her boss early this morning, she told him about some family emergency and he didn't complain about her quitting, guess he's glad to get rid of her. She had that kind of effect on people sometimes, intimidating and scary but I learned with time that she's more than that.I finally gather my strength to stand up and walk to the bathroom, took a quick shower and brushed my teeth without looking once at th
Maya POVI put the last two bags in the back seats then closed the door and leaned on it. I can't get the sight of Eliane sitting in the empty apartment lost in her thoughts out of my mind. I close my eyes and take deep breathes to calm myself, I need to be strong for this.After few minutes I get inside the coffee shop and walk to the counter. I order our smoothies then pull out my phone to check my emails, half way through it I felt eyes on me but I didn't give it much importance until I felt a presence behind me. I turn around abruptly to be greeted by a big buff guy in his mid twenties, blond messy hair and green eyes, his clothes were kind of ragged. He was standing too close to me so I took a step back without breaking eye contact, something about him and the way he was staring at me gave me goosebumps.
Eliane POVI don't know how we slept through the night but somehow we did, it felt as if the wolves observing the house were guarding us instead. Maya was up first and headed for a long shower so I went to my room. My room is so amazing, way bigger than my old one and even bigger than Maya's but she didn't mind, actually, she insisted that I take it since my in-suite bathroom had a bathtub and she knew how much I love taking baths.I was already thinking about redecorating the plain gray walls, painting them in pink or purple or just picking a nice themed wallpaper, I had so many ideas running through my head that I started feeling intoxicated.I went rummaging through my bags for a clean outfit then took all my dirty clothes collected through our road trip and put the
Maya POVSince the moment we stepped out of the car, Eliane was as tense as a stick. She was holding my hand the whole time. I could tell when we passed a pack member from the way she squeezed my hand. When we got inside the dinner, It was obvious from the way she looked at the young couple that she longed for her own kind. When they left, I could see her pain. She tried to act strong and I let her be.It got worst when we walked inside the supermarket, most of the customers kept glancing at her from afar. They were mostly men, different ages, but It was obvious that they were all here observing us. Thankfully I could easily distract her from all the tension. All I had to do was talk about things I wanted to eat and she would get lost in all the ingredients she needed for the recipe. Or my favorite trick, putting random
Eliane POVSleeping early yesterday was for the best, I woke up in a good mood and full of energy. The fact that we are having dinner with the two top families of the Northmoon pack made me feel excited. After breakfast, I started making the brownies while Maya went up to finish unpacking her boxes. I decided to make some mini egg rolls too since the Alpha and Beta seemed to prefer salty treats.Lunchtime came very fast, I didn't notice since I was busy organizing my cooking stencils and the rest of the groceries shopping from yesterday while Maya did the laundry. We decided to make omelets with onions, mushroom and extra cheese. Maya wanted to take me shopping for a new outfit and I had a hard time convincing her that I already have more than enough. Well since I don't go out that much all my clothes are still brand ne
Maya POVRain was a real gentleman, that's a fact. From the moment he picked us up, he made sure to make us feel comfortable and ease our nerves. He even managed to make Eliane giggle a couple of times. But my favorite moment was when he smacked his son's head. I know it's mean but I really enjoyed.The Luna on the other hand was the type of person I usually try to avoid. She was the over-friendly type, the kind to wear a smile all the time and her daughter was a mini version of her. She kept talking the whole dinner about herself, her pack, her mate and her children while the Alpha nodded at every word she said.I checked on Eliane from time to time, the kids were trying hard to get her to participate in their conversations but she kept her responses to the minimum. I
Eliane POVThanks to the food Beta Rain gave us, I could concentrate on my studies during the weekend without worrying about Maya dying of hunger or junk food. But truth to be told, I really missed cooking but I couldn't just waste good ingredients just to have fun.Maya slept the days away, she seemed a bit tired. I suppose all the stress we went through is finally catching up to her. She even canceled her job interview, she said she wanted to take it easy for a while. She would wake up to eat then go back to sleep.Somehow, Alex's face and his beautiful smile kept popping in my head at random moments. My mind kept rewinding our conversations, I still can't believe he called me beautiful. And the way he apologized on one knee was so romantic, he was like the male lead
