Chapter 17 Lurking In The Shadows

• Maxwell’s POV
• I can recognize her scent, she smelled like warm honey, it was so sweet and calming as usual, so amazing. I opened my eyes slowly, hoping she’ll be in my arms, wishing that last night has only been a dream and she hadn’t really shot me with a bullet laced with wolfsbane. I came face to face with a pair of black orbs gazing at me a little too closely if you ask me. I got startled by her peering gaze and I shot upright, reaching for a weapon.
• “Whoa… whoa… Hold on, it’s only me and Jason,” she let out hurriedly. I sighed when I saw that it was only Harriet, but when I turned to acknowledge Jason, I got hit with that intoxicating agent again. I got up and followed the scent, walking towards Jason. I saw the nervousness on his face but he did well to hide it while looking at me curiously. Realization dawned on me as her amazing scent hit me with full force when I got to where he stood.
