Maya’s POV
I stared at Venom who stood transfixed at me. “Maya!” He exclaimed.
I was immensely glad to see him. “Heyy, Venom.” I jumped out of the chair I was seated on and went to hug him.
“Are you real?” He spoke in my ears when I reached him.
“Of course I am,” I responded.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
He was still surprised and I understood why. I pulled him to the table where everyone were having their meals at.
He sat beside me and everyone greeted him.”Why did no one tell me she was well?”
“We tried multiple times but you were unreachable and when we reached out to Alpha Maximum, we were told you had left.” His mother tried explaining things to him.
I couldn’t tell which one his emotions were leaning on to more. Was he more happy or more surprised?
He looked at me one more time and threw me in his arms, j got my answer at that moment.
“I came back early this morning and she wasn’t around? What happened? ” He spoke again, more relaxed this time around and he mindlessly chewed his food.
” I now work with the pack’s army.” I announced to him.
“How come?” He asked.
” We thought her facing more combatants like them would be useful to her and her training.” Alexi explained. ” She could stop if you don’t want that.” He quickly added.
I had women up from the terrible illness that befell me days before and I was more than stronger. Every time the illness would befall me, I noticed k was stronger.
Maybe the illness was a form of training. I wasn’t sure for myself.
Everyone ate their meals with less questions since the one who had been asking had gotten engulfed in consuming. I imagined how famished he must have been, it was totally unusual of him to be that way.
” Let’s go to the room.” He told me once we were done. I took his hand and followed him away from the dining table.
“Goodbye, lovebirds.” I heard Caleb teasing. I wouldn’t deny I was happy to have gotten Venom back. Life had it’s own on me when I was the next in line to worry when we couldn’t reach Venom for a while.
We both were about to enter the room when we encountered a lady. “Elora,” I heard him say. “What are you doing here?” He asked the woman.
“There was no one who came throughout and I thought I would just show myself. How are you, Venom?”
Just then, he remembered he was with his spouse.
“Maya, this is Elora. Elora, this is Maya.” He introduced the two of us to each other. I shook hands with the young lady that stood before me.
“She’s the hybrid witch I met when to get help.” He buttressed.
“If you need anything, Elora, please, ask the maids and servants. Anybody who questions you, tell them about our journey, I’ll be out soon. ” He told her and left with me.
” How are you doing?” He asked me once I entered.
” I’m better than before. The illness didn’t do as much damage as I thought it would.” I explained to him.
I stared at me from head to toe for maybe a second and the next thing was a kiss on my lips. Oh, how much I missed him!
I got closer to him and even kissed him harder than he was doing to me. He definitely was impressed because I could hear the sound he made while we were both entangled and we ended up falling on the bed.
Steamy tales, but that’s for later.
Later in the evening, i was brought out and every other family member came out so we could meet the young lady I saw earlier, officially.
Everyone had gotten to the table finally and it was finally time for her and Venom to address us.
“Hello everyone, this is Elora, a witch, a hybrid actual and I brought her in to come check on Maya when necessary.” He stated.
The woman was all smiles standing next to him as he spoke about her.
“Wow, I don’t know what to say. I’m surprised.” His mother said.
“And yes!” Venom exclaimed. “She’s older than she looks, I mean she’s the mother of a son as old as me.”
There was a change of countenance on the two of them faces.
“She’s older than she looks, that’s all.” He concluded. I wondered what information they shared between themselves that caused them to react that way after the statement had been made.
“I’m not sure if there’s so much we can say, but welcome to the family. It’s nice to have you here to watch over Maya. She’s been really having issues.” Venom’s father addressed her.
The woman walked out of the room and left. I looked at Venom’s face for a reaction, but he didn’t try to stop. He let her go and everyone was in awe at what her just happened.
” What’s that about?” Venom’s father spoke defensively.
” She lost her son because of me, dad. Just last night and she’s still grieving him.” Venom spoke calmly.
Immediately, I was taken aback and felt more pity for the woman that I had watched walk away. There was no way I would have understood her pain. It was saddening to see.
” How did it happen, Venom?” Alex asked, shifting his chair closer.
” Ohh, Alpha Maximum had sent a mob against us. He was against me and still is, we need to send a reply for what he did. One of war. There was an attack on my life and I was at the woman’s place. The rest of what I said is what took place.”
Everyone had a pitiful reaction on their faces.
Growing out without any parents and seeing someone lose her child , I decided I would go speak to Elora, maybe to console her or anything, but I felt drawn to her and my spirit was willing to try to help her , just as she wanted to do with me.
