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 pushing me to 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, grounding me in 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 hit me like 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 drug me and 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.”
