Anya Found Out About Maxi

At first, nobody heard the low growl that rumbled from Maxi's throat like a feral creature until she bared her teeth at Anya, causing her to jump in surprise.

"Don't you ever touch him!" Maxi snarled, unable to contain the possessive fury that arose within her. Isaac belonged to her and no one was allowed to touch what was hers.

The dangerous, rabid look in Maxi's eyes and her aggressive behavior caught Anya off guard. She didn't dare respond with a sharp retort as expected. Instead, she swallowed nervously and took a step back from Isaac.

"Good." Maxi was pleased with Anya's reaction, her voice still a low growl. "Now you can talk."
