PREGNANT FOR THE WOLF

Being brought up by a single father feels good but sometimes strange! You'd wonder why your mother left you all alone and just walked away. At that time you would believe all your father would tell you since you don't know what really happened.

You may somehow land on something that would seem like the truth but some things would remain hidden till the right time!

And that's what happened to Maya, a young beautiful and sexy girl who treasured her father, Zalvin like no other. Zalvin used to tell his daughter stories whenever he was in good mood and Maya used to believe him.

He could tell her how her mother left them the same night she was born saying that ,"this is the result of our mistake", referring to Maya who was some minutes old back then.

Sometimes Maya would wonder how heartless her mom was to abandon a small child without a strong reason. She believed that no woman would ever neglect her sweet child no matter the situation!

This feeling could summon a lot of questions in her mind as she tried to figure out what could've compelled her mother to take such a hurtful decision and never looked back..

Her soft fragile heart could break into a thousand pieces every time she recalled what her dad said (that story). To make things worse, Zalvin stopped her from celebrating her birthdays, pretending that it would make him recall what happened.

As they say that time heals all wounds, her father later let go of his past and he was like, "Maya dear, what plans do you have for your birthday. It's tomorrow, isn't it?"

Maya who was not familiar with these kind of jokes felt like ignoring him since she thought that no matter what, there would never be a day she would rejoice in the name of celebrating her birthday!

"Maya. You can talk to me."Zalvin said, bringing her senses back. Of course Maya couldn't believe what she just heard. A sigh soon escaped her lips, " of all things why did he choose to crack jokes about my birthday!"

Looking seemingly disturbed, she stood up. It looked like she wanted to move away. "Would you still walk away if I told you that I'm serious." Her dad's voice spoke from behind.

Turning excitedly, she gazed at her dad with unsatisfied eyes. It had always been her wish to celebrate her birthday like others. She was fade up with listening stories that her friends would say about their birthday parties!

"I hope you aren't kidding me, Dad!"she said softly.

"Kidding! Why would I." That was the statement which brought butterflies in her stomach. She felt so wanted to hear him say it again and again!

Her mouth fell open but no words came out.

"This is a dream! I never knew I would ever daydream!"she sighed softly.

"You don't look happy about my decision. Don't you want to celebrate your day tomorrow or you've totally forgotten about it all?"

Now all the butterflies were quiet, and the urge to hug her dad was too much. Something sweet was twinkling in her ears. "I would like to.... but you see you don't..."she couldn't bring herself to complete it since she never wanted to remind him of the past.

She didn't want this chance to slip out of her hands. "You're right dear, I never liked the day you were born. It's not that I don't like you at all... It's only because of what happened that same night! I lost the love of my life and the only woman for me, my soulmate!

Perhaps it's the reason why I became so mean and a bad father who would stop his child from enjoying her birthday like others just because of his strange reasons.

But I promise you that henceforth I will always put you first and I will give you all the love that you really deserve.

Let it be making your wishes come true!"he assured her.

"What are you saying father? You've always been the best father in the entire world and you'll always be one. I've never questioned your actions and decisions because I know you only wish the best for me.

I know why we never celebrated my birthday and you shouldn't call that strange of you because it's okay.

Yes, years ago I used to feel bad whenever my friends would tell me about their birthdays, how they enjoyed and what not. I felt bad because I was still a small girl back then but not anymore.

Look at me... I'm now a grown up girl.

I'm turning twenty years tomorrow remember."she pointed.

"I'm so happy that you can now read and understand my decisions even without my explanation. Go to sleep now, okay?"

"Okay Dad, good night!" Due to so much excitement, a smile on her face refused to fade away!

"Good night child "Zalvin smiled radiantly as he placed a kiss on Maya's forehead.

Feeling overjoyed, she ran straight to her room. She was feeling like she was on cloud nine.

Everything around her looked so different and pretty.

She couldn't stop bobbing but she later fell on her bed, so tired like a helpless cat, feeling exhausted that she instantly fell asleep!

In the middle of her sleep, someone whose face wasn't clearly shown to her was trying to stop her from celebrating her birthday. She was fighting this feeling when her dad entered the room to wake her up as it was already midnight.

It wasn't her first time dreaming about this person but this time....all seemed real. It felt like it really happened!

"You're awake, how come!" Zalvin who had come to surprise his daughter ended up being surprised when he found her seated on the bed.

He expected to find her in deep sleep.

"Why do you look astounded. I'm fine. I just woke up when I heard your footsteps, that's why."she lied though she wasn't that good at it.

"You look pale. Is everything fine?"

"Of course Dad. Everything is fine."she lied. She didn't want to ruin his great mood because she had never seen him so happy like that before. That's why she lied and faked a smile that lasted for a second.

"Alright then. Let's go downstairs. I need to show you something." Maya who was both excited for her birthday and confused about the dream couldn't resist her father but to go downstairs with him.

"Could you please shut your eyes."Zalvin said before taking Maya's hand and helped her walk down the stairs. "What a great moment!

Popping sounds welcomed them the moment they stepped in the living room.

"Happy birthday to you *2. Happy birthday dear Maya."different voices were singing for her. Now she wanted to open her eyes but little did she know that her father's hand couldn't leave her face.

"Wow. This really feels like my long time dream! Thank you Lord."she breathed with so much excitement. The desire to open her eyes became to much to hold.

"May I open my eyes now, Dad."

"Of course you can open them." His voice was coming behind the walls of his bedroom. "Strange! When did he reach there?"she wondered more when she realized she was in the dark.

She felt like screaming and then thought that it was also part of the surprise.

Taking some steps backwards with her heart in her mouth, she breathed with relief when the room lightened up with colourful decorations.

""The decorations are amazingly beautiful. The room feels like heaven for sure." Before Zalvin could react to his daughter's praises, he was surprised to see her break in tears."

"Hey drama queen! Stop crying otherwise I'll think that you haven't liked my surprise."

"I love you Dad. Thank you so much. But when did you all this?"

"Magic, you know!"he chuckled.

"This is really magic. You're the best father in the world. But...."

"What is it dear."

"Where are the people who were singing for me. I don't see anyone accept you."

"Ahh..... they went. They have gone. I only paid them to sing for you."

"But they could've waited."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd like their performance. Anyway let it be, just cut your cake... and don't forget to make a wish."

Everything went smoothly as planned. Maya couldn't wait to see what the next sunrise would bring for her. "I'm sure tomorrow is going to be fantabulous!

Walking inside her room, Maya felt like she was being watched. The smiling face that she had changed suddenly. Different expressions on her face caused an uncomfortable environment for her.

"Who's it?" Wait! Was she acting to be brave? She hoped she was imagining things.

She wanted to ignore the feeling but then thoughts about the dream summoned back in her mind. "Who's this person. And what does he want from me."she tried to bring the issue on the table but still couldn't get to understand anything.

She turned back and forth looking for sleep but couldn't find it. "I think I should tell Dad about this dream. I don't think it's just a dream anyway."she thought. "No, I shouldn't disturb him. I'm sure he's asleep already."

It was then when she closed her eyes and pretended to be sleeping. Silence reigned the room for some time before a voice spoke from within. "Why are you cold-shouldering me. I remember I asked you not to celebrate but it's like you took my warning for granted.

Do you think it was only a dream. Of course it wasn't. I'm doing all this for your own good. I just don't want history to repeat itself."the voice said before the room felt usual again.

"This wasn't a dream, right. I was awake. But why am I sweating like this. Who's she. Why is she concerned about me anyway. What history was she talking about. Why did she have to bring all this up on my birthday. I must talk to Dad." This time she was determined to share everything with Zalvin. It was difficult for her to stop shivering.

As soon as she stood up, the door locked itself followed by a man's voice this time, "where do you think you're going. I'm sorry but I can't let you do this. Do you know why, it's because destiny has already decided and no one can stop that.

Yes, you can delay it but one thing I know for sure is that you won't be able to stop it.

What was meant to be will finally be no matter what. And let no one stop you from enjoying your birthday to your fullest today."

"A man's voice too! What's happening with me. First it was a woman who doesn't want me to go anywhere. And now, it's a man who wants me to enjoy my day. What do I do now. Whom should I listen to?"

All that left her lost in fear that even a touch of her own clothes, scared her. "Who are these people and what do they want from me. Could they be the reason why Dad restricted me from celebrating my birthday for the past nineteen years?"she wondered.

She really couldn't bring herself together to fall asleep. She kept hiding in her bedcovers till she heard her dad calling.

Sliding out of the bed like a scared cat, she ran straight to him. "Are you okay dear?" He asked after noticing a change in his daughter's way of hugging.

"No! I....."she felt she wanted to say something but she remembered the man's warning.

He had warned her not to tell anything to her dad or else the consequences would be bad.

" How can I tell you that something is bothering me dad. I wish I could share this with you but I'm scared of the consequences. I have to pretend like I'm fine even when I'm not! I'm sorry Dad, I'm keeping quiet today for your sake."

"What should I go with now?"she looked seemingly disturbed before a man's voice echoed through her mind. "Don't think too much. Just go."the tone was so cold and harsh.

She didn't have a choice but to pick up her red handbag from the couch before closing the door behind her. Her father was waiting for her outside. The moment she stepped out of the house, her father couldn't wait but to start the car. "I hope all goes well."she sighed.

"Wow. My daughter looks extremely beautiful today."Zalvin said.

"Thank you Dad. You too look very gorgeous." It was a fact anyway.

Zalvin had dressed in a black coat with a long sleeved white shirt and a gentle black trouser.

And ad for Maya, she had put on a white long dress with a long slit in front that almost exposed her thighs out.

She had applied heavy makeup to the extent that her lips were dropping and glittering red on her glowing baby face!

She was in red heels, not forgetting her red small handbag.

"Thank you for choosing this dress for me. It's the best."Maya said.

"I didn't choose it. Your aunt did."

"Oh! She has a good taste you know." Talking about her aunt, Maya could tell whom they meant since she had only one aunt.

"Won't she come to celebrate her niece?"

"No dear. She said she won't make it to come over that's why she sent this dress for you."

"I miss her so much."

"I'm sure she misses you a lot. Let's go dear."

Staring at her father for some time, Maya felt like telling him about the situation but she couldn't bring herself to ruin his mood.

Zalvin looked extremely happy. Reaching the city, Maya rushed out of the car. She wanted to walk around and slay like a queen for some time.

Her father couldn't say no to her simple wish. He used to treat her like a princess. But that day, even queens can't be treated like that. "Oh my goodness! This care is too much!"

After taking meals in Mega hotel, Maya went shopping, bought all her heart's desire and returned for lunch where she received a surprise that she had no idea about.

She didn't know that her father had called her best friends, Martha and Anna over. The three of them had organized a secret party for her.

Seeing them around brought so much happiness in her heart. If there was something she wanted at the moment, it was to feel that moment.

You can't believe that all her negative thoughts vanished away and were erased from her memory.

All she did was enjoying the moment to her satisfaction.

Evening came with so much stars in the sky. That could've been a great moment for Maya and her friends but her dad had booked tickets for the movie.

It was approaching 11pm when Martha asked father to take her home. Her father was a strict man and you know all that.

"Let me drop them home and get back to you, right?"

"Alright. But please don't delay."

"Of course not."he kissed Maya's forehead before he drove off. The day went so cool that she smiled all day. She wished she could live that moment forever little did she know that destiny had something different in store for her.

Guess what! Like he promised, Zalvin returned back sooner than Maya expected but he was drunk.

"How did you get drunk father?"she asked if smelling wine on him.

"Martha's dad insisted that I should take a sip. You know we've been friends for years now and I couldn't refuse hi."

"Oh, now I understand. When he asked you to take a sip, you took the whole bottle instead, right?"

"It wasn't just one bottle, I took three of them if I'm not mistaken."

Wait! Was he praising himself or what.

"Good job father."Maya sighed since she couldn't do anything to him.

"Does this mean we'll sleep in the car on the street? Why did you have to drink too much. I've heard that your Cash is over as well. How are we going to get rooms now."Her mood was ruined. "Forget about the money, where can we find unoccupied rooms at this hour of the night?"

"Why do you worry when Dad is here. We don't need to look for rooms because we aren't sleeping here. I'm drunk but I can still drive. You see I've driven this car for a month now, I can control it so well even when I'm sleeping."

He was praising himself so much little did he know that accident awaited for them.

"Remember I don't need glasses to zoom the road like you."

Now he was hurting her. She didn't choose to have long sightedness.

Talking about her eyes and glasses was like hitting her in the wounds.

Making fun of her situation wasn't good at all! "I can't believe I'm back in my usual world. How soon!!"she wondered.

Maya wanted to stop her father from driving while drunk but for some strange reasons, she felt like she had been paralyzed.

Words couldn't come out of her mouth. It felt like all her brain had drifted away.

For a moment she felt like a statue. She couldn't remember what was happening anymore till she heard him start the car.

"How did I get in. I hope he didn't intoxicate me!" That's when she remembered she wanted to say something few minutes ago. But what stopped her? She didn't get it.

When Maya noticed that her father, Zalvin was driving recklessly, she asked him to move aside and let her drive but her father was too stubborn to give in.

"Dear Lord, please let's reach home safely."

Maya's eyes were closed when she heard some sound of something bursting.

On realizing, their car was off the road. "Are you okay Dad?"she hurried to ask. "I'm perfectly fine. I hope you didn't get hurt."he said, sounding normally.

Wait! A moment ago he could hardly utter out a word but now.... he was speaking perfectly. "What's happening! Are you sure you're fine Dad?" Maya was shocked by her own question.

"I'm fine, why?"Zalvin could understand.

"Aren't you drunk anymore. Are you sobber?"

"Drunk! What are you saying?

The confused expression on his face was enough for Maya to realize that something had possessed him. But why? She wondered.

"I asked you a question dear."he couldn't let it be.

"Don't you really know that you've been drunk some minutes ago?"she said in a reminding tone.

"I don't really understand. Did you drink?"

"Come on Dad. You know I don't take hard drinks, don't you?"

"I know but.... you're behavior right now is giving me reasons to doubt you. I hope you didn't taste on alcohol when I was away."

"Forget about all that. First tell me how you got drunk. It's important please father."

"Maybe you're right because I don't remember picking you from the cinema Hall. And this place, the accident, I don't remember anything.

What's happening with me?"

"I'm sure they're behind this!"Maya suddenly said."Who's doing this?"

"It's nothing."she lied again. That man's threats didn't let her say anything to her Dad even if she wanted to.

Fighting the urge to go and check what they crashed that almost took their lives, Maya heard her Dad start the car again.

"I hope what we just crashed didn't get so much hurt.

"But that sound, it might have been a little lion. Why am I even thinking about this. It's still my birthday. I have to remain positive till midnight.

Since Zalvin was back in his senses, the journey didn't take too long before they reached home.

Zalvin was still parking the car in the garage when he heard Maya screaming on top of her lungs. "Daddd!!!!!!!"was all she could say out of so much fear.

"What's the matter?"he asked, running to her rescue.

Without saying anything, Maya pointed at something that looked like an animal.

Yes! It was indeed a crashed dead she wolf

"This! Why's it here and how..."

They didn't have any other choice but to take it out of their compound and dump it away.

After a week had passed by, Maya started to believe that everything was normal again and she would never hear from those invisible creatures little did she know it was just a beginning.

The incident which they took so lightly, was about to mark the beginning of a new chapter in Maya's life.

Silence in the city due to the snowing which confined all the melodious birds in their nests making them to forget about singing.

Maya was feeling the moment after her father had left for some work. He was a businessman.

She was in the kitchen cleaning the dishes when she heard like someone breaking through the window.

Just like a concerned girl, she thought of checking out.

Fear and panic came her way when she saw how messy the room she just organized a while ago was. She had arranged it properly.

Checking on all the windows and doors, none of them was damaged.

"It's possible that I'm imagining things here."she breathed as she walked back to the kitchen. It was then when she heard someone breathing from her back.

"Who's it?"she asked, her eyes wandering around but still she wouldn't take the matter lightly. She had a knife in her hands.

"Wow, how brave!"a new male's voice spoke from the other room. She could hear his footsteps coming to towards where she was. "Stay right there. Don't come any closer."she warned, threatening with a knife.

"I'm not here to play games with you young girl."he said. The coldness in his voice was evident that he was there for something bad.

For a moment it felt like he was in front of her as she could really feel his presence.

"Has he come to kill me? What if he...."she thought and turned the gas off right away. She couldn't afford taking risks.

"Nice move! Who told you that I'm here to kill you." This time he was talking softly but still Maya didn't bring herself to trust him after all he was invisible. "Why did you come here then?"

Feeling like she was in the space, Maya realized that the strange mad was carrying her. "Put me down."she cried but Mr Invisible wasn't ready to listen.

She tried her best but failed since he was so muscular and stronger than her.

She had never moved in space before. She never knew that something like that could ever happen in real life.

She was both scared and worried but she enjoyed viewing the city from above.

"Wow. My life is turning into a fantasy! I don't know this man yet nor his intentions for me but I must say that this is the most amazing tour of my life."the second part of her was talking.

It was like he could read her mind because when she decided to concentrate and muster up the direction from home to where he was taking her, he fluttered very far in the sky that it was impossible for Maya to see anything below them.

Feeling dizzy, Maya suddenly fell asleep as if she was in her bed.

Maybe it was part of his plan that she shouldn't look where he was taking her. On opening her eyes only to find herself in the dark. "Is anybody there?"she called out and soon she saw a deam light coming.

Yes she was inside the old house, everything in there were dusty, all covered and entangled with cobwebs.

She realized she was tied up when she tried to move her hand but couldn't.

She wanted to walk away thinking someone with the light might harm her but still couldn't move since she was all tied up with chains and ropes.

"Did he think I would run away. Why tie me up with all these chains?"she wondered.

"Who are you and why did you hold me captive?"

She couldn't see him but she was certain that he was the one holding the candle.

"Why are you even invisible. What happened to you. I hope you aren't a ghost.

I think I know why, you must be scared of me, aren't you? You know I wouldn't spare you if you showed me the real you."She was only provoking him so he could be visible before her.

Maybe it would help her if she were to escape as she would be knowing from whom she would be running.

"I know you must be wondering why I brought you here. Your heart is racing so hard since you're unable to see me. You wonder how I look like, right? Well, I must say you're very lucky cos I'm thinking of revealing my real self to you.

This is how I look like."just like that he transformed into a wolf.

"I'm Mr Wolf. Everyone calls me that but my real name is.... Alpha.

I was so proud of this name till the day your dad took away everything I had. Everything I ever loved." With teared up eyes, he hid his face between his forelegs.

Maya could see how he struggled to hide his tears from her though he failed. It seemed like the pain was too much for him to handle. Maybe he was bleeding inside.

Wait! What did he just say, that Zalvin took away his all. How was that even possible?

Maya hoped he didn't mean it.

For some reason, she felt sorry for him. She didn't tolerate seeing him cry.

Was it sympathy or something else. I hope it wasn't love! She shook her head at the thought.

Strangely, Maya felt like she was responsible for everything. She suddenly felt guilty. It wasn't long before she started crying as well.

"Why am I even crying. It's his problem and not mine."she tried convincing herself but tears kept rolling down her face. Perhaps she was manipulated. Or she was under his spell.

"Stop crying Mr Wolf."she said softly. She couldn't believe she was acting nicely with him. He was the reason why she wasn't home. "I shouldn't feel any attachments with this Wolf, after all he's an animal."she thought with her eyes closed.

On opening them slowly, Maya winked several times as she tried to examine clearly what was standing next to her.

A while ago there stood a very huge Wolf but now...it was this amazing creature with long golden hair that was very beautiful to be real. His silver blue eyes made her heart skip a beat! His pinky lips which he had curved into a sweet and simple smile. In short terms, he was awesomely handsome to be true. "Where did Mr Wolf go?"she looked around searching for him but he was nowhere.

Breaking the distance between them, the personable man spoke, "And this is how I look when in human form."

Maya's heart jumped in relief when she got to know that it was Mr Wolf.

Wait! Was she falling in love? She hoped she wasn't.

The urge to touch on that skinny brown man became too much for Maya to hold but she was still tied up. "You're awesome."

"Really. Thank you."he couldn't stop smiling. He was in fact laughing at her.

"How fast! He felt he had impressed her with just a smile.

"What did I just say. No! I meant to say that you're so ha...." Did she just say 'handsome'! She was sweating. Still that's what she wanted to say. The man was hot and charming but Maya didn't want to praise him. All she wanted was to tell him that he was arrogant but for some strange reasons, the word couldn't come out of her mouth.

"Thank you once again."Mr Wolf found it interesting to tease her. She was a cute soul after all.

She was losing it. How could she admire him. The Maya she knew never crushed on any man. "He's not special."she reminded herself.

Elsewhere, when Zalvin returned home from work, as usual he expected his daughter to run to him and welcome him.

Finding the gate widely open, he didn't mind. He thought that maybe Maya opened it for him before he could come.

He couldn't resist the shock after seeing how messy the living room was. He knew Maya would never fail to arrange the house because she would do so even when he left her unwell.

Listening to the feeling that something might have happened to his daughter, he quickly ran straight to her room. He hoped to find her there but the room too was empty.

Checking everywhere, he didn't find her.

He went on to ask the neighbors but no one knew where and how she went.

"Where could she be now."fear was evident on his face.

Did he find her or not?

I must say that Mr Wolf was magically superior. He could sense danger before it could come.

After some time, Alpha Wolf came to her, untied her. "We have to leave this place immediately. I'm afraid your father might come here."

"My dad...is coming over!"she felt so happy. Hearing that brought some hope in her. But how would he know?

"Look straight into my eyes, tell me what you see."Mr Wolf said.

Maya didn't know why but she found herself agreeing to whichever she was asked to do by that man - she was looking in his eyes. "I get it now. It's because of this that he managed to find a clue about your whereabouts! Remove it now!"he said coldly.

"What."

"That magical thread."

His words repeated in her mind, "magical thread!"

"You heard me right."

"No, I can't remove this. Father told me that my mom left it with me. She tied it on my leg and I've been living with it ever since. I'm sorry I can't remove it."

The more she explained, the angrier he got.

"I said remove it now!!"it sounded like an order that Maya had to obey.

Without saying another word, Maya took off the thread and dropped it to the floor.

She wanted to keep it but he threatened to tie her hands again yet they were still paining her.

Just like last time, he turned invisible and carried her to another place which was a cave in the side of the mountain.

"What's this place?"she asked when he carefully laid her on the ground.

"This is my second home." He retransformed into his human form

"Why did you kidnap me sir. At least you can tell me. I don't understand why you're doing all this to me. I'm sure father is looking for me. He must be very worried. He doesn't know the I'm in danger."she cried.

"Danger! You call this danger, huhh? And how dare you mention your father in front of me? Don't repeat this mistake if you want peace with me, do you hear me?"he was yelling at her.

"Do you know him? How does my mentioning him bother you anyway."she sighed.

Maybe he wasn't in good mood anymore because the way he slapped her left cheek was merciless!

"He slapped me! You... How dare you raise your hand on me. Even my precious dad has never done such. You're horrible. I hate you old brat."she was angry that she wasn't able to think straight for a moment.

"Shut up stubborn girl. I thought I made myself clear that I don't want to hear you mention your father to me."he was so furious that he didn't realize he was slapping me again.

"Ouch! It hurts."she couldn't hide her tears any longer. The pain was too much to bear.

"He's so bad. Why do I deserve this?"

Perhaps he was regretting his actions because after staring at her for some minutes, he walked very close and rubbed off her tears. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you but you see ..... you're stubborn. You can provoke someone into doing something. I'm not saying that it's your fault but you should've listened to me in the first place. You know I have a problem with your father and I can't handle it even when someone whispers his name to my face. He's the root cause of my problems.

And I....

I thought that by kidnapping you I will be able to hurt him. I just want him to experience how it feels when you miss your loved ones, especially when they're taken far away from you.

I must say you're lucky because my plan was to kill you and enjoy your dad's misery as he cries over your cold dead body. I wanted to see how he would mourn your death."he was crying as well.

"This is serious. He hasn't just slapped me, he wants more than that - he wants to kill me too. Oh my word, I should escape from here somehow otherwise I'll be slaughtered like a goat. But how?"

"That's next to impossible young girl. There's no way you can escape from here."he whispered to her face.

"What! How's this possible. I didn't say anything, I just thought about it. How did he find out?"she was sweating.

"N-no Sir. You just heard me wrong."she hurried to say.

Ignoring her words, wolf laughed, that weird laughter.

"Could you please tell me why you dislike my dad this much? I mean what did he do to you?"she was curious.

She wanted to know the details of the story since she was the one suffering the consequences.

"I even don't want to talk about it. All I can say is that I don't just dislike your father, I just dispose him. And the fact that you're his daughter, I hate you too."

"I don't care whether you like me or not, I only want to know why you got me involved in all this. Why sir?"

While she was talking, Wolf's attention was on her lips. He was admiring how lovely they were. The feeling he got was uncontrollable. He wished he could kiss her right that instant.

Slowly he moved his hand. Maya knew it was going to be her last moment. She knew he was going to kill her, before she knew it she was swallowing hard as she waited for her end but that didn't happen. Instead she felt his soft warm lips on hers.

She wanted to push him off but due to some strange reasons she couldn't. She wanted it to last forever.

"Do you know him? How does my mentioning him bother you anyway."she sighed.

Maybe he wasn't in good mood anymore because the way he slapped her left cheek was merciless!

"He slapped me! You... How dare you raise your hand on me. Even my precious dad has never done such. You're horrible. I hate you old brat."she was angry that she wasn't able to think straight for a moment.

"Shut up stubborn girl. I thought I made myself clear that I don't want to hear you mention your father to me."he was so furious that he didn't realize he was slapping me again.

"Ouch! It hurts."she couldn't hide her tears any longer. The pain was too much to bear.

"He's so bad. Why do I deserve this?"

Perhaps he was regretting his actions because after staring at her for some minutes, he walked very close and rubbed off her tears. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you but you see ..... you're stubborn. You can provoke someone into doing something. I'm not saying that it's your fault but you should've listened to me in the first place. You know I have a problem with your father and I can't handle it even when someone whispers his name to my face. He's the root cause of my problems.

And I....

I thought that by kidnapping you I will be able to hurt him. I just want him to experience how it feels when you miss your loved ones, especially when they're taken far away from you.

I must say you're lucky because my plan was to kill you and enjoy your dad's misery as he cries over your cold dead body. I wanted to see how he would mourn your death."he was crying as well.

"This is serious. He hasn't just slapped me, he wants more than that - he wants to kill me too. Oh my word, I should escape from here somehow otherwise I'll be slaughtered like a goat. But how?"

"That's next to impossible young girl. There's no way you can escape from here."he whispered to her face.

"What! How's this possible. I didn't say anything, I just thought about it. How did he find out?"she was sweating.

"N-no Sir. You just heard me wrong."she hurried to say.

Ignoring her words, wolf laughed, that weird laughter.

"Could you please tell me why you dislike my dad this much? I mean what did he do to you?"she was curious.

She wanted to know the details of the story since she was the one suffering the consequences.

"I even don't want to talk about it. All I can say is that I don't just dislike your father, I just dispose him. And the fact that you're his daughter, I hate you too."

"I don't care whether you like me or not, I only want to know why you got me involved in all this. Why sir?"

While she was talking, Wolf's attention was on her lips. He was admiring how lovely they were. The feeling he got was uncontrollable. He wished he could kiss her right that instant.

Slowly he moved his hand. Maya knew it was going to be her last moment. She knew he was going to kill her, before she knew it she was swallowing hard as she waited for her end but that didn't happen. Instead she felt his soft warm lips on hers.

She wanted to push him off but due to some strange reasons she couldn't. She wanted it to last forever.
