Chapter Five

-Maya's POV-

The voices floated all around me as I stirred back into consciousness. Every bone in my body hurt and I sensed my wolf stirring within, an instinctive response to the chaos around, ready to defend. Swiftly, I pushed her back knowing I needed my human side taking charge in this moment of disarray.

Gentle hands reached out, pulling me from the cloud of confusion. Struggling to stand, I grappled with pain coursing through every bone. Through the fog in my mind, I met Ivan's concerned gaze. "Are you okay?" His voice echoed through the haze.

Battling dizziness, I nodded, allowing him to guide me to a nearby chair. "What happened?" I managed to utter.

"An explosion," Ivan explained, "Someone planted a bomb to stop the wedding."

"Who would want to stop the wedding?"

My wolf stirred, giving a possible answer to the question but I refused to believe that Alex had anything to do with it.

I had seen it- the look on his face. There was nothing but hate. Alex wouldn't be interested in stopping me from getting married unless it wasn't to stop the wedding and this was him showing that he meant the statement against my father,

"Maya, did you just hear me?"

"I'm sorry.. I was just.. Why would someone plant a bomb?"

"That's not important right now. I think we need to get you to a hospital."

"No. I'm fine," Realization dawned on me, glancing around, "My father, my parents, where are they?"

"I saw Daniel and your mother after the explosion," Ivan reassured me, "He was trying to get her away from harm's way. They are okay."

A bitter taste lingered in the air, the realization hitting me hard.

Of course, he didn't come looking for me.

"I didn't finish saying my vows. We aren't married yet," I uttered, still trying to process everything happening.

A smirk danced on his lips, attempting to inject a sliver of humor into the grim scene. "Wow. If I had known it would take an explosion to get you to admit you want to marry me, then I would have planted the bomb myself."

Despite the wreckage and the chaos, a laugh bubbled up from somewhere deep within me.
