Venom’s POV
Everytime I ever tried to keep Maya at bay and not at one particular war, fighting it in it or contributing only ended up futile. She was stubborn to the core, but her spirit was in the right place.
My phone had been ringing and someone was sent to bring it in for me.
“Sir,” he stretched his hand out and picked the phone from it and afterwards, dismissed him.
“Hello, Caleb.” I spoke on the phone.
“I can’t find Maya here, I wanted to confirm if she was with you.” He said.
“Yeah, you guessed right. She’s currently here, she helped with the battle. ” I explained to him.
Maya had been right there sitting and listening in on us. I could hear her gently chuckle as we spoke about her.
” Is everything fine back there?” I asked him.
” Yeahh, it’s pretty peaceful. I should be returning soon.” He informed me.
” Ohh, no problem. You can wait till later too, I think we’ve ran them down on battle plans already till tomorrow, thanks to Maya and the one we fought too.” I told him.
” Ohh, is that so? Congratulations.” He rejoiced.
” Yeahh, we can talk later.”, I told him before I ended the call. My attention was later directed at Maya who had been resting on the bed all along.
Her body was managing to adapt to the new wolf form, but it still drained a lot from her or maybe it was just the fight she had been in.
“How are you?” I asked her? I untied my robe and climbed onto the bed to lay beside her.
“I’m okay, just tired.” She said from where she laid.
I had gotten on the bed already and adjusted myself to sleep beside her, she made more room and I kept my arm underneath her head so she could rest on it.
“Thank you,” she mentioned silently.
I smiled and we both rested.
The next day, she was better and I was feeling good as well.
There was no possibility sign of any incoming army or warriors, that was calming for the day even if everyone had kept themselves in their respective positions incase things didn’t turn out the way we planned for them to.
Maya was reluctant to go back to the pack house and I made sure I wouldn’t push it so as not to offend her. She wanted to stay and it was her desire to fight.
“Why are you so interested in fighting and joining the battle against these people?” I asked her as we both sat side by side while watching nature act on its own will.
“Growing up in somewhere like hell’s pit, I think that’s the natural desire unless there’s a different hobby. Besides, you’re here for me. I want to be around you.” It was beautiful to hear her admit that she wanted to be close to me.
Even if we had been a bit emotionally intertwined with each other for a bit since her holiday started, it was still nice to hear the words from her.
I adjusted myself to sit close to her so there would be less space between us.
“Maybe soon, we’ll be able to observe all of these without remembering the past.” I said to her.
“Maybe, I think I still need to train for a bit and prepare to go join them at the pit for the next competition.” She mentioned.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Yes, about that. But wait a minute, even after everything you’ve been through, you don’t feel you’ve gone throughout enough?”
I was surprised she was still interested in training at all. There was so much interest in doing it, it amazed me.
“You’re amazing, ” I whispered in her.
I asked for the army’s commander, Atkinson, to bring a few number of cadets who would be willing to join in battling the alpha’s mate. I doubted anyone would pass on the offer.
He came back and brought one person, I was amused. “She can probably handle ten of him, maybe someone else.” I said in a chuckle.
I glanced at Maya, but she was blushing in her seat as I said what I did about her to the commander. The man himself seemed amazed and hurriedly went back to get someone else and more people.
It was going to be a show which I was interested in watching. Maya would be sparring on different wolves and I could see how much progress she had gotten so far.
” Sir, there’s an issue with someone.” A guard came by.
” What’s happening?” His state of urgency startled me.
” It’s the witch, Elora. She’s still unwell.”
I had totally forgotten about the lady and I left the front of my tent to go to where she had been staying in since the beginning of the war.
Maya came along and the commander has to wait with the soldiers he had brought over.
When we got in, Elora was on the bed laying sickly. She looked pale and it was as if life had drained twenty years off of her life source.
“What’s going on? I heard you sent for me?” I went to her side to speak to her.
“Yes, I think I’ve been poisoned. I don’t understand what’s wrong, but you could go to the pack house or send someone there to get things for me. That’s should help in me treating myself.”
She struggled to come out with her words but I was able to make everything out eventually.
“Are you sure you’ll be fine? You seem to be dying. What you want will be brought soon and you’ll be fine.” I assured her.
I probably spoke every single word that entered my mind in that moment so she would feel better about everything.
It was scary that she would be unwell just at that moment. I couldn’t even afford to lose her after I had not gotten to favor her for what happened back at her pack and her son that was killed.
“I’d like to go get her things for her,” I heard Maya offer herself.
