Maya’s POV
I knocked on the guest room where I had seen her come out from earlier.
I knocked twice, but no one answered. I was about turning my back to leave when she opened the door.
“Heyy,” she greeted me.
“Hi, can I come in? I wanted to speak to you.” I told her.
“Sure thing, come in.” She said.
I enter the room, I was expecting to see more things there, but it was just empty.
“You didn’t come along with anything from your pack?” I asked her.
” No, Venom didn’t tell you what happened?” She looked surprised.
” He only explained a little.” I replied to her.
” Well, I’m not sure there’s more to it. We were attacked and that was really it. There was no time to pick anything we would be leaving with.” She narrated to me.
I imagined how much stress Venom went through just to make sure I was finally okay, I felt indebted to him greatly.
” I’m so sorry about that.” I sympathized with her.
” Thank you. I appreciate.” She told me.
” I just wanted to speak to you about your soon since I grew up without parents too and it’s a sad, ” I had barely finished my sentence before she cut me off with her hands gesture.
“It’s fine, I don’t want us to speak about it anymore. I’m managing myself, you people shouldn’t push it.”
” Oh, okay.” I retracted. ” Your son was how old?” I asked her.
” Thirty two, why?” Immediately I heard her, I was shocked.
” How come?”
” I’m enchanted. Everyone gets that reaction. You know I’m a witch.”
A part of me was quite convinced after what she said that my life would be in good hands after that much power she possessed to do that to herself.
I guess I had not planned speaking to our very well because at one point, I was scrambling to come up with topics that I could discuss with her. I stared at her for a bit and she was all smiles.
“I think I’ll just take my leave now. Take care of yourself.”
“It’s alright dear,” she said. “Maybe later, we can check on your situation and see to the things that have been bothering you.” She added.
“Thank you,” I replied to her and left the room.
I went out to join the boys who had been waiting for me in regards to our training.
“Took you a while to get here.” I heard Caleb complain.
“I’m sorry, I had to see the new lady in the house, Elora.” They both had curious expressions on their faces.
“So, what went on with her?” Alex asked me.
“Oh, she didn’t want to talk much and she hasn’t spoken about the things wrong with me yet so for now, we’re still in the dark and stuff.” I tried to shrug the topic off so we could go to training.
The conversation with the woman earlier had been quite awkward and I didn’t want to live it again through thoughts.
The boys got to their stance for battle and I entered my own position too. We were about to start when I got called up by Venom.
“Maya!” I heard him yell from behind.
I turned to look at him, “what’s going on?”
He ran to where I stood under the sun. “I’ll be leaving, I need to go see the council of the wolf pack and attend to other people too.”
” Alright, take care of yourself.” I told him.
I thought he would just leave with the words he had spoken but he grabbed my face and he kissed me deeply right in front of his brothers.
” Don’t do that, you know they’re watching.” I protested.
” Let them watch, they’re grown ups already. There’s nothing bad.” He replied to me and ran off.
The boys stared at me and laughed sheepishly. The way children would. ” Please, you guys should get yourselves together so I can beat your asses after you’re done. ”
” Bring it on.” I heard Caleb say.
They were finally back in their spirits and the training began with all of us.
I had improved gerwter than I was when I had just gotten to the pack house and it was unbelievable. I could handle the two of them without so much issues.
Fast forward to the nighttime, I had taken a bath, freshened up and I was busy with Venom’s mom in the kitchen. She wanted to specially cook for her son after his arrival.
It was on her request that I wouldn’t be going back to the pack’s army to continue my training with them. They had been pretty impressive with the fighting and there were a lot of young people who were redy to learn from me.
I never thought for once in my life that I would get to a position like that in which I would be teaching people about the things I had learned from hell’s pit.
I finished cooking with her and went to the room where I rested till it was time for us to consume our meals. I had been stuck in the room for days and everything felt boring in it.
I remembered Elora again, I wanted to create a relationship with her but there was no way I could have conveniently done it. She didn’t seem receptive to me.
I considered and wentt to her again. This time around, I didn’t have to knock. She had been coming out of her door by the time I got to her.
“Hey there. I wanted to speak to you, where are you off too.”
“Ohh, I wanted to step out of the house. I’ve been cooked in that room for a while, I think I’m tired of it already.” She lamented.
“Oh, that’s nice. Maybe we can take a stroll together.” I offered.
She was nice enough to let me walk with her, I also realized I had not really toured the house.
I got to the door and my usual illness came again, I fell face down to the floor.
