The thrift shop was a bit scanty and didn't have a lot of merchandise inside it. It was old and dusty and there was this putrid smell that filled the air.There was a counter a few feet away from the entrance that had a young lady behind it. Maximus looked down at the compass and it was pointing up ahead to the young woman."That's her," Maximus said to Mira and Leon and they moved closer to her.As they got closer to her, they picked up the girl's scent and could tell that she was human and although they didn't say it, they were all thinking it; What would be the use for a teenage human in a supernatural war?"Hi! What can I help you folks with?" The girl said. She looked like she was in her early teens, definitely not up to eighteen years old."Hi there, little girl. We, umm...we would like a, umm..." Maximus tried to say but he felt like he was suffocating a little bit."Are you alright, sir?" The girl asked."Yeah, I'm fine. It's just, umm, there's a strong smell in here and I thi
Aliyah continued rubbing Jess' neck and the pleasure was almost unbearable for her. Jess felt like she was on fire and it didn't take long before she exploded with satisfaction. Aliyah pulled her face up and smothered her with multiple passionate kisses and then, she heard herself growl. She was losing control of herself and she did not want to hurt Jess.Aliyah closed her eyes to try and regain control and Jess noticed."What is it, Aliyah?" Jess asked, "Why are your eyes closed?""I can feel it trying to come out. You should go, I don't want to hurt you.""Open your eyes, Aliyah and look at me," Jess said but Aliyah did not open her eyes.Jesse held Aliyah's face in her hands and told her that she was not afraid of her. "You cannot hurt me, Ali. You won't, I know you won't." Jess said."You don't know!" Aliyah growled out and opened her eyes. Her pupils were white.Immediately she realized she was about to lose herself, she lifted herself upwards and hung on the ceiling with her
"Why would a demon crawl out of the underworld just to kill you guys?" Michael asked and waited for an answer.Mira, Max and Leon were all silent because they never revealed to the others what happened the night of the vampire attack, they never reveal the fact that they died and had barely even spoken about it since that time.Jess was also quiet and Aliyah held her hand and turned her to face her."Jess, what is it? You're scaring me." Aliyah asked her."The night the vampires attacked the mansion and tried to kill the both of you, they also attacked us when we were out," Jess mentioned."Yes, we know about that," Michael replied."But what you don't know is that we...we didn't survive the attack," Mira said."I don't understand," Michael said, looking confused."They killed us, with wolfsbane. We were dead for a minute or two before Peace and her Witch friend brought us back." Leon finished."We haven't really talked about it since then but, we died and after we were brought back,
The pack decided to get some rest and plan the mission in the morning. They had so many things they needed to do but in order to do them, they'd have to be well-rested.Maximus was about to go to his room but Mira stopped him on the way."Stay with me tonight." She said to him.He didn't say anything back, he just walked into her room and she closed the door. They both got into the bed and Maximus was looking up at the ceiling, deep in thought."What are you thinking about?" Mira asked him."Us. Me and you." He replied."What about us?" She wondered."Do you think we will ever...?" He began to ask when she put her hands over his mouth."Don't think about that, Max. If it's meant to happen, it'll happen. All we can do is wait and see." Mira told him."You're right! Did you ever notice that Jess and Aliyah were into each other?" Maximus asked, deciding to change the subject."It came as a surprise to me and it turns out they imprinted. So many things are happening that I never thought w
MIRA'S POV.."My heart was beating as we drove along the highway, heading into battle against the Mullers. I had my revolvers in my hands and my heart in my throat as we got closer to our target. I was scared that we would fail or that one of us would die and a part of me didn't want to be here.Three years I had been alone after I lost my pack, three years I isolated myself and didn't grow attached but here I was now, with a new pack that I was happy to call family. I had to shove my fears inside a cage in my mind and lock them away. I had to be brave for them so I closed my eyes and felt the soft wind on my face, hoping it wouldn't be the last time I felt so free."..."There's the truck!" Mira announced after she saw it just ahead of them."But where are the Mullers?" Maximus inquired in the driver's seat.As if his question was a signal, the Mudders answered it. Two pick-up trucks came onto the road from out of nowhere and were just behind the Spade Chemicals transport truck.
ALIYAH'S POV..."It had been two weeks since I met the pack and so much had happened since then. My life before all this wasn't something I would describe as adventurous or exhilarating because I was alone for most of it and didn't know what it meant to be loved by someone unconditionally, or at least I didn't know anymore. But now, it had all the thrills, and if I'm being honest with myself, being a Were-Pire has been more of a blessing to me rather than a curse.This new exciting life was given to me but it came with a few risks, and I don't know how it'll all play out in the end but what I do know is that we will make it, together. All of us together."******"Damn it!" Maximus said angrily and got out of the truck.Jack and Jill were silent because they weren't quite sure what was happening although they were a major part of it."He got away and he had some barrels in his truck," Jess said after she jumped out of the transport to talk with Maximus."What was in those barrels?"
Insecure wasn't a word Mira would normally use to describe herself. She was a strong, able, capable, badass She-Wolf that always had things under control and barely showed any vulnerabilities. But, she was feeling insecure although she tried to conceal it. Ever since Aliyah and Jess imprinted, she had been wondering if she and Max were even meant to be together. It should have happened by now, Mira thought to herself. She wasn't ready to quit though. She hadn't fully explored her feelings for Maximus but she knew she loved him and wanted to be his mate for life but if they didn't imprint, she would surely lose him to someone else and that was something she wasn't ready for.Mira decided to try again tonight. She was going to spend the night with Maximus in hopes of triggering the imprint. This would be their third time mating and she hoped it would do the trick. She wore a dark, sexy lingerie and wrapped a bathrobe around her body. She left her room and sneaked into Maximus' without m
"What are you?" Damien asked."Your ticket back to hell!" Aliyah replied angrily and charged at him in mid-shift.Before the hellhound could brace himself for impact, he felt a hard punch on his jaw that sent him flying across the empty street. Aliyah was now in full were-pire shift and growled in anger as she chased after Damien. She reached him and landed another heavy punch on his face that struck him right on the chin and sent him rolling on the ground to the other side of the walkway. Aliyah charged at him for a third time with her fist wrapped and heading for his jaw but this time, he caught her hand with his just before she struck him. His eyes were on fire and the veins along his arms were glowing hot. He was now also in full shift which made him strong enough to counter Aliyah's heavy punch. His burning hot claws retracted out of his fingers and he took a swing at Aliyah and slashed her across the face, blasting her away from him with full force.The stage was now set for a
