I stiffened at his words, my heart beating so fast as the room turned quiet, his eyes watching me closely. Did he see us?? My mind wanders to what could happen if Derick finds out that I spent these two days with his brother, a war between them could start, I know Derick too well to let it slide if he finds out the truth, No…. No, he cannot know what happened, it’ll break him.
“Derick, what are you talking about? Uh, of course, there is no one else.” I tell him, avoiding his eye
“Macy, where did you go these past two days? This time I want the truth.” he says, staring deep into my eyes.
“I… I already told you I visited home, what? You don’t believe me, so you think I’m lying to you.”
I yell at him, still trying to defend myself because I know it’s the only way to stop chaos from happening. He shakes his head at me, and points his finger in my direction,
“LIAR!!!.”
He growls, and my body trembles at his outburst, he scared me so much right now.
“I’m not lying, please Derick you have to believe me, kindly stop your scaring me.” I sobbed, tears gushing out my eyes as I drop to the floor, sitting on the ground with my back against the wall.
“You’re still not going to tell me? After everything we’ve been through Macy, I love you more than any other person in this world, you don’t know how much you mean to me; I am willing to give you the whole world at your call, so then please do this much for me and tell me everything I need to know.”
Derick says, apparently deep down I know that I cannot say anything at least not now that he is like this.
“Derick, please stop, I already told you everything there is to know, I would rather not have this conversation anymore, just stop.” I plead with him.
“I need to know why you arrived in my brother’s car after going MIA for two days, I have to know when you two got so close he now gives you kisses on the head. Why he knows your whereabouts and I didn’t, why the hell is he involved with you!.”
Derick yelled, he was beyond pissed, I have never witnessed this side of my boyfriend, and I cannot believe I am the one bringing it out of him.
“Derick stop your scaring me.” I cried out loud, this is not how I expected this night to go, I just want to sleep.
“Did Liam drop you off, Yes or No Macy? You know I only need to grab the CCTV footage to prove what I saw, now tell me the truth because I deserve it.”
He says, Derick is right, he can just get his answer from the footage, but where those that leave me, he shouldn’t find out the truth.
“Okay yes, he dropped me off, but that doesn’t mean anything, Derick he saw me at the bus stop and volunteered to help bring me home, which I couldn’t say No to. So, there you have your answer.”
I lied, Again. It is starting to irritate me how I get to keep lying just to make sure war doesn’t break out in the Torres family because of me.
“Now we’re getting somewhere, so you’re telling me, my brother, just picked you up from the bus station and brought you home. that’s it, nothing more?”
Derick asks in a calm voice “Yes, nothing more, he just brought me home.”
I say, trying to make him believe me. “Wow such a Coincidence Liam hasn’t been in Waterfall for two days too now, how do we explain that.”
“And how’s that my business Derick, what Your brother does is none of my concern.”
“It’ll be your business when I find out what it is you both are hiding from me.”
And with that, he stormed out of my condo angry, leaving me all alone as I cry my eyes out.
Liam POV
I arrived at Waterfall and I immediately went to my father for the pack’s review and welfare. I have been missing out on a lot of the pack affairs, leaving most of my duties on my Father’s shoulders, assisted by my beta.
A few hours into work, I could feel my wolf, Rage was restless, he felt uneasy.
“What? You don’t feel okay, and it’s affecting me.”
I tell him
“It is unclear to me why, but I’m having this bad feeling.”
He speaks in my head,
“What do you sense Rage, is all well? Are you okay? Is it about Macy?” I asked all at once,
“I can’t tell, but I have a feeling the storm is near.”
He says as he retreats to the back of my mind. I don’t know the reason for his uncertainty, but I know one thing, I’ll overcome whatever storm there is approaching.
Derick has not been seen for days, I haven’t heard any news about him too, I need to keep my eyes on him, he must have been worried about Macy, after not hearing from her. Speaking of her, I haven’t reached out to her, I picked up my phone and dialed her number, but she did not pick up on the first ring, I called for the second time and this time she picks up, but as soon as she does I hear her voice like she has been crying.
“What’s wrong, Macy, why are you crying?”
I asked her, my blood already boiling, and if Derick is the reason for these tears I’ll skin my brother alive. I will destroy anyone who dares to hurt my mate.
“Oh No… I…I. I am not crying, why would you think that.”
she stutters trying to clear her voice, so maybe I don’t know what was happening,
“Macy don’t lie to me, did Derick…”, without letting me complete my words she cuts me off
“No, No Derick did nothing, and for the record, I am not crying, please you’re only assuming.” she says
“But your voice is saying a different thing, Macy.” I tried to argue,
“Liam stop, maybe you feel so because I just woke up, and my voice is a little cranky moreover for what possible reason would I be crying?”
I had to believe her, if I couldn’t believe my mate, who else would, I believe?
“It’s alright Macy, I have to believe you, now what are you up to?”
“I made dinner, and after eating I took a nap.” She explained, but why am I having this feeling she is hiding something from me? I have to make sure everything is in order, so I call Greg to station our spy in front of her apartment again.
I think I am beginning to sense what Rage spoke of, the storm is near, I can feel it.
