Peace and Maximus teleported just outside the flower shop where Selena worked. Peace hadn't mentioned her name to Maximus yet. She preferred he saw her first and hoped he'd recognize her as someone he'd met before."Sometimes when I teleport with you, I feel like my insides want out," Maximus mentioned and bent down because of some slight nausea he was having due to the teleporting."Yeah, sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't but do it long enough, then you get used to it," Peace said and looked toward the shop."So, where is this woman?" Maximus asked."She'll be here anytime now,"The sun had just risen and the day just broke and Peace's witchstincts told her that Selena would be here soon so Maximus would be able to see her."So, what is she?" He asked while they waited."What?""The woman in the vision, what is she? Another werewolf, a Witch like you or some other ancient being I've never heard of before," Maximus asked but the last guess was spoken jokingly.Peace didn't an
Maximus and Peace drove around the entire city but they couldn't find Selena. He went to her former place and every other place he thought she could be but she wasn't there and he didn't know where else to look."This is a waste of time. Is there no other place she could be?" Peace asked frustratedly while they drove."Not that I know of," Maximus answered, "What do we do now?" "We should get you back to the rest of your pack. You guys should go back to taking care of Primo's server and I'll find the girl," Peace answered.They drove back to the mansion and the ride back there was mostly silent because Maximus was still upset with Peace because of how she handled things with Selena.They reached the mansion and after driving through the hex and stopping at the yard, Maximus got out and so did Peace."Keep me up to date with whatever happens with Primo and once I find Selena, I'll bring her here," She said."Try not to light her on fire the next time you see her, okay?" He said."Will
Selena sat on a stool by the bar with a strong drink in her hand. She was in a strip club that was located right on the edge of town and for good reason too; it was illegal. The only reason why the club was still operational was because the owner had several dealings with some corrupt policemen."Need another top-up, Tigress?" The barman asked her with a smile."Steve, I've asked you to stop calling me that. Those days are way behind me," Selena replied and gave him her glass.He poured some more liquor into it and slid the glass back to her. "Those days may be gone but the memories are not. Some clients still ask for you whenever they arrive and are usually very disappointed when they hear that you no longer work here," Steve said as he wiped the bar with a rag."That's not me anymore, Steve," Selena told him and had another sip of her drink."It may not be you anymore but I can see it in your eyes that you miss it," He said."What? No, I don't. I'm glad I'm no longer doing that cra
Mira helped Daniel get out of his room and downstairs to get some lunch and stretch his legs a little. He was getting better much faster than expected and it was good for the team because they needed everyone to be in top form for the next few months to come.When they both came downstairs, Maximus and Allison were in the living room with Michael, Jess and Aliyah while Leon was standing on the little stairs outside the front door staring at the sky, waiting anxiously for word from Sasha."Should you be up, Daniel?" Maximus asked when he saw him coming down."Don't worry, Maximus. It's going to take more than just a beating to keep me down," He replied."He was getting tired of just lying on the bed so we decided to come down and work his muscles a little," Mira said.She helped him to the kitchen area and placed him on a stool. She went to the fridge to grab him some lunch and as she did that, Daniel noticed Leon standing outside."She still hasn't called yet, has she?" He asked."Not
About a week later, Selena still hadn't learned to project her powers to shield others from magical attacks or any magic in general. She was getting frustrated with herself and also blamed Peace's teaching tactics and considered them ineffective but she never said that out loud.Selena, however, wasn't the only one getting frustrated. Peace was also losing her patience because she had expected some progress from her student by now but wasn't getting any. Nelly, on the other hand, was the one who suffered the most through it all as he was the one getting hurt by Peace but he never complained, knowing that it was for a good cause that could potentially save the entire world.In the endless room, Selena was trying again to use her powers on Nelly while Peace shot lightning bolts at him."I'm trying but it's not working," Selena complained.She had her hands out and was trying to shield Nelly but nothing was happening."You're not trying hard enough, Selena. Do you want him to keep suffer
"Careful with that last batch, babe. Every single drop of this is valuable and we can't lose any of it," Aliyah said to Jess.Jess took the last tube of the unfiltered formula and put it in the electronic device that did the filtering. It was a small batch so it would take only a few minutes for the formula to be extracted from the harmful elements and separated from it."I can't believe we're almost done with this," Jess said excitedly."Me either. And to think I was keeping this a secret from you and now, I'm succeeding because of your help," Aliyah said appreciatively.Jess went over to her and they stood side by side, leaning on the table while the machine did its work."After it's ready, what will you do next?" Jess asked."I'll take it to my dad's university and give it to the other scientists to get out there and start saving people's lives on the condition that they give him all the credit and repair the damage they did to his reputation when they called him insane," Aliyah sa
"What is he doing here?" Selena asked Peace because she wasn't happy that Maximus was there."He's here to help us out. You seem to lack the proper motivation to hone into your powers and Max is here to turn that around," Peace said."What's he going to do that's going to motivate me? Scream at me, chase me out of his life and never call me again?" Selena asked rhetorically."I think it's time I excused myself," Nelly said awkwardly before he stood up and walked out of the endless room."I have explained over and over again why I asked you to leave that night and I've apologized for it, Selene. What else do you want me to do?" Maximus wondered."I want you to feel bad for what you did. I want you to care a little bit more than you're claiming. I get that you lost your family, I get that you were hurt and probably needed some time on your own to heal but as soon as you did, you found yourself some other girl and discarded me like I was nothing to you," Selena broke down in anger."You
"Arghh," Maximus screamed as he fried, the bolts from Peace's lightning relentlessly shocking him up.Peace wasn't getting anything out of Selena so she stopped using her powers on Max whose shirt had turned to a crisp on his bare body."Why did you stop? I felt the power coming out," Selena said sarcastically."That's not funny and you know it. You're not even trying, Selena," Peace told her."Yes, I am.""No, you're not. You just want her to keep hurting me," Maximus said, breathing heavily."Hmm, maybe that is what I want," Selena replied to him with a raised brow.Peace had had enough. It was time to flip this whole thing around to work in her favour."I've had enough of this. You'd very much rather prefer seeing Maximus suffer than learn to use your powers. Huh?" Peace asked but Selena stayed quiet."Alright, then. I'll indulge you." Peace raised her hands together and a ball of red energy began to form around the tips of her fingers."Peace, what are you doing?" Maximus asked be
