Chapter 159 -Maya's POV- My head felt like a drum someone was pounding relentlessly. It wasn't a sharp pain, more like a persistent, insistent pressure. A force pushingto consciousness. My wolf, restless and agitated, paced behind my eyelids, a caged animal desperate to break free. Then, with a violent surge, she lunged forward, and I jolted upright, gasping for air.

My heart hammered in my chest as I scanned the room, my vision still blurry. The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast elongated shadows, creating an eerie atmosphere. My eyes landed on the coffee cup on the side table, and a wave of nausea washed over me.

Alex. That bastard. He actually drugged me! Anger, a hot, consuming fire, ignited within me. I kicked off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed. My feet hit the cold hardwood floor with a thud, groundingin the harsh reality of the situation. I stumbled to the living room, my movements jerky and unsteady.

Natalia was the first to notice me. Her eyes widened in surprise, her jaw dropping slightly. "Amaya, you weren't supposed to be up by now." I glanced at Sarah and Riley, their expressions carefully neutral. The realization hitlike a ton of bricks. They knew. All of them. They knew Alex was going to drug me, and they did nothing to stop it. Betrayal burned in my chest, a bitter taste in my mouth.

"You knew," I accused, my voice low and dangerous. "All of you knew." My eyes narrowed, scanning their faces, "I can't believe the three of you right now. You knew he was going to drugand you went with it? None of you stopped him or tried to warn me?" Natalia cleared her throat, taking a step forward. "Amaya, we know you're upset, but... We all know how you are. We thought it would be best if you couldn't go after him. We didn't do it to hurt you and you should still be out." That was why I had felt the banging. My wolf had been fighting the effect of the drug and had kicked in my conciousness but still I couldn't believe my friends.

"Don't 'Amaya' me," I interrupted, my voice rising.

"We thought it was the best course of action," Riley said softly, her voice filled with regret. "You would have gone after him, no matter what." "And you think that's okay?" I demanded, my anger escalating. "You think it's okay to treatlike a child?" "It's not about treating you like a child," Sarah said, his voice steady. "It's about protecting you." I tried to move towards the door, but Natalia and Riley blocked my path. Their bodies formed an impenetrable wall.

"You're not going anywhere," Natalia said firmly.

"Get out of my way," I growled, my patience wearing thin.

"Amaya, please," Riley pleaded. "Alex asked that you didn't cafter him. Be sensible and stay put." I turned my gaze to Sarah. "You can't be with them on this." Sarah sighed too, "You know I'm all for violence and beating up people but really, it's foolish to go after him. Think about the twins. You would only be a distraction to him so please." I ground my teeth feeling my wolf getting angry, "I am all asking you nicely. Get out of my way." I felt my wolf struggling to stay put and I was battling with for control, "I won't ask so nicely next time." Riley took a step backwards but Natalia stood her ground, glaring at me, "Don't be unreasonable. You are not going out there." With a final surge of willpower, I let my wolf take control. My body convulsed as I shifted, my clothes ripping as I transformed into my wolf form.

I let out a growl, and Riley immediately fully shifted out of my way, but still, Natalia refused, her eyes turning black. "You are not the only one with a wolf. Don't turn this into a fight. Shift back and don't wake the twins up. This is very unnecessary and-" Then Sarah cut in suddenly. "Let her go." We all faced her, my wolf staring at her with suspicion. She continued, “Nothing we say will stop her from going, so let her go. She needs to do this, and this was as much her fight as it was Alex's." Natalia finally relented, facingstill with the glare, "You had better not die." Then she stepped aside, and with a softer growl in her direction, I dashed out. My paws pounded on the ground through the city. It was dangerous 1/2 хе O R ReelShort
