Chapter 60

-Maya’s POV-

We stood there, locked in a silent stare–down, the air thick with unspoken words and unresolved issues. Adrian’s eyes, once bright and mischievous, now seemed dull and empty, like two cold stones staring back at me. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I look in the changes

in him.

I finally broke the silence. “What are you doing here, Adrian? How did you find me?”

He took a step closer, his long strides eating up the distance between us. I retreated, my back pressing against the rough wall of the building behind me. His eyes never left mine, and I felt like a trapped animal, commered.

“That’s not the question you should be asking, Amaya,” he said, his voice low and menacing. “You should be asking how I am, after being thrown in jail, abandoned by everyone I thought I could trust.” His tone turned mocking, and I felt a sting of guilt. “Not even one visit, Amaya. I thought we were friends, but I guess I was wrong. You’re no different from Alex, nothing but backstabbers.”

I shook my head, trying to defend myself. “I did try to visit you, Adrian. I swear it’s the truth.”

It wasn’t a lie. After Alex kicked me out, my life spiraling out of control, I had tried to reach out to Adrian, hoping he could help me make sense of the chaos. But when I arrived at his apartment, it was like a war zone broken furniture, shattered glass, and an eerie silence. He was nowhere to be found, and the neighbors told me he had been arrested. I tried to visit him at the station, but they refused to let me see him, like I had been blacklisted.

His expression didn’t change, his eyes still cold and hard. “Did you now?” he repeated, his tone dripping with mockery…

I glanced around, trying to escape the intensity of the moment. That’s when I realized my legs were throbbing, my feet aching from the long run. I had no idea how far I had come or where I was. Panic set in, and I knew I had to get out of there, away from Adrian and his suffocating

aura.

late.

In a flash, his hands wrapped around my waist, yanking me back against the building. All the air was knocked out of my lungs as he slammed. me against the wall, his grip like a vice around my neck, I gasped, struggling to breathe, as he glared at me, his eyes blazing with a fierce

intensity.

“You’re not going anywhere until I have the answers I need,” he growled.

I was trapped, pinned against the wall, with no escape in sight. Adrian’s grip tightened, and I felt my vision blurring, my thoughts racing with fear and confusion. What did he want from me? What answers was he searching for?

“Adrian, let go of me!” I gasped, my claws extended in a desperate attempt to defend myself. My wolf was stirring, sensing danger, but I knew I couldn’t shift, I tried to slash at him, but he was too quick, too prepared. In a flash, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at my head, the cold metal pressing against my skin.
