Chapter 114
-Maya's POV-
My birthday was still a few months away, but if I could have wished on a shooting star right now, I knew exactly what it would be. My father and Alex, crammed together in a tiny car, driving off a cliff straight into the fiery depths of you-know-where.
Okay, maybe that was a bit much. But seriously, the nerve of those twol Here I was, having to call Ms. Rodriguez back yet again to watch the twins while Ivan and I dealt with their latest explosion. Did this drama ever freaking end?
And to top it all off, Alex had the audacity to stand there, completely unapologetic, like he hadn't just thrown my father through a wall. As if that wasn't bad enough, my jerk of a father practically blamed the whole thing on me. Of course he did.
Now, here I was, staring down at a pile of massacred carrots at 1 am in the morning. My wolf was practically clawing its way out of my skin. She was furious, and let's be honest, so was 1. We both needed to rip something to shreds, but I knew unleashing her wouldn't exactly be the
best course of action.
With all the chaos, I still hadn't fully processed the fact that I'd shifted. It felt surreal, like a scene from a movie that had somehow landed smack dab in the middle of my very real life. "Those carrots would beg for mercy if they could-talk," a voice said behind me.
I jumped, startled. Ivan stood at the entrance of the kitchen, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a hint of amusement. He raised an eyebrow, silently conveying the message with his eyes.
Following his gaze, I looked back down at the chopping board. What had I been doing? Slicing carrots? More like brutally murdering them. Each one was reduced to mangled shreds, a testament to my simmering frustration.
He chuckled softly and walked towards me. "Maybe you should put down the knife for a bit," he suggested gently. He took the knife from my hand without a struggle and carefully pushed the destroyed carrots aside.
"They'll never learn to behave, will they?" he muttered, more to himself than to me.
I let out a sigh, the frustration slowly draining away. There wasn't much point in arguing. He was right and also, chopping vegetables wasn't exactly the most therapeutic activity at this hour.
He pulled me into a hug, his warmth a welcome comfort. "Your father is an ass," he murmured into my hair. "But honestly, I can't really hate him. After all, he's the reason I met you."
A small smile finally tugged at the corners of my lips. "You just had to switch things up and make me feel like a complete goofball, didn't
