Chapter 10
Micaiah
I don’t think Maverick realized that I now have control, my heart was breaking for him. now I understand why he is so distant he doesn’t believe that he deserves any kind of happiness. “Maverick, look at me.” He didn’t so I took my forefinger and thumb softly grabbing his chin, giving a little force to make him look at me. “Maverick, I do not blame you for the things you done. You did them to protect yourself and your family. The one who is to blame is your uncle not you.” His eyes were red and glistening from the tears welling in his eyes.
“You are my mate, and I think nothing less of you. If anything, I think you are stronger than anyone else realizes, you have so much on your shoulders, please stop blaming yourself, because I do not.” Without hesitation I grabbed him in a hug. Feeling the sparks shoot through my body more powerful due to finally accepting the bond.
I felt his arms wrap around me accepting the embrace, something we both needed was to finally accept each other and be willing to open up to each other. “Thank you, Micaiah.” He whispered in my ear, “Maverick, you know some of my past, but I have hurt others as well, every day that night with my uncle replays in my head. We both have had a shitty go at things, but I believe the goddess fated us together to be each’s support, to make each other stronger. We have to be open and trust each other.” “You are right Micaiah, honestly I was praying you would not run after telling you, my past.”
“So, if we are being open and honest there is something else, I need to show you and Alaric. If I am going to be the packs Luna, I need to stop hiding who we are. So please shift I think we should let them run together back to the packhouse.” Maverick smiled and shifted into Alaric. They were gorgeous, Maverick was still in control, but his eyes slightly brightened letting me know Alaric was also paying close attention. ‘You ready Vee?’ ‘Yes Ki, its time to stop hiding.’
We then stepped back beginning to shift causing Maverick to stare wondering what is to come. Once we shifted, we couldn’t look into their eyes worrying what he had to say, but then he appeared in my mind. ‘You are beautiful.’ We perked up hearing those words come from him. ‘Thank you, as are you and Alaric, let’s let them spend some time together, see you again at packhouse.’ ‘Sounds good’.
With that we let them run free, hunt, and not worry about anything but themselves. At the pack house we shifted, I was fully clothed so of course I got the eyebrow raise from Maverick, “Another time, I think we call it a night, looks like we were out here longer than we thought.”
He nodded and we begun walking up to our rooms, I felt so complete knowing that we were finally accepting and opening to each other. “Thank you for listening Micaiah.” “Thank you for trusting me and opening up.” He again embraced me in a hug inhaling my scent as he did so, “Micaiah, good night, see you in the morning for training.” “Good night, Maverick.” With that we went our separate ways, honestly, I believe this night I would sleep blissfully, with the way both Vee and I were feeling.
