Chapter Nine

Maya sat back on the ground, pressed her palms together, and took a deep breath. In and out, focusing on her breathing, bringing out everything that she had been taught. There was no danger here. No fear.

Just calm and now.

She had just passed another drug test. At first, when Duke had demanded she take the tests, she’d been insulted, but she knew why he did it.

Succumbing to the drugs had been a fucking shitty idea. After everything she had gone through, the drugs had seemed like a good idea. Sometimes to help her sleep and then to keep the demons at bay.

But she didn’t need them anymore. Hadn’t needed them in a long time. The meditation and staying devoted to her studies helped. Also, making herself useful. It all helped.

“Are you doing okay?”

She looked up to see Landon sitting on the ground beside her.

“I’m doing fine,” she said. “I’m meditating.”

“Yeah, I can see that, but you haven’t been hanging around for a while. Anna’s worried.”

She dropped her hands to her knees and turned toward Landon. He was her one and only best friend. Anna, his wife and old lady, was also her best friend, but Landon had been with her through the thick of it. He was more of a brother to her than Holly was a sister. They worked on their friendship, she and Holly, but it wasn’t the same as with her and Landon. He’d been with her at some of her darkest points.

Guilt clawed in the pit of her stomach.

“I’m fine. I know you guys would like your privacy, and I’m a third wheel.”

“You’re not a third wheel.”

“Actually, I was thinking it might be time for me to spread my own wings and perhaps get my own place.” She chanced a look at him and saw Landon’s mouth was partially open.

“Your own place?” he asked.

“You don’t like that idea?”

“Er, it sounds like a great one to be honest, but, er, but, have you talked to Duke about it?”

No, she hadn’t, mainly worried about rejection. She and Duke didn’t have the best relationship at the moment. The lack of trust was a big part of that problem.

“You know Anna and I love having you around, and John,” he said, mentioning his son.

The baby. She adored his little boy. Maya loved all kids.

“Right.” She loved Landon and adored John and Anna, but it was time for her to move on. To get her own place to have some kind of independence and to prove to herself that she could be someone outside of her father’s control.

She took another deep breath and slowly released it.

No one was ever going to trust her. She had that cloud hanging over her head.

The sound of the clubhouse door closing drew her attention, and she watched as Preach headed to the barbeque pit. He was the only one who seemed to treat her like a human being and not a complete mess. “I’ve got to go,” she said.

Luna had gone to Mary’s house only to find Pike alone with his kids.
