Chase
Last Updated:
2022-03-10 09:42:44Later that night, sitting in my suite with my balcony door open hoping to catch her scent on the breeze, I was lost in thoughts of her. I have never gotten sidetracked from anything that I was working on. Until now. Until her. I had to be near her again. My coronation ball will be the perfect time to formally introduce myself to her.
Picking up my phone, I called Sam, my secretary and a friend so close we could be siblings.
“Hey, Chase. Is everything alright? It’s late.”, she answered, a bit out of breath, as though she dove for her phone.
“Sam, I need you to send an invitation to Annalyse Mitchell and her family in River Moon pack for the ball.”
“Chase, the seating charts are done and everything has already been confirmed. Kind of short notice, don’t ya think? We’re only a couple of weeks out.”, she answered.
“Sam, there’s zero negotiating on this. Do as I ask. Or I will command it.”, I answered. I’m not generally so short with her, but Lyse has to be here for this. She’s going to be my queen in the near future.
“Ok, ok. Chase, is everything alright? You seem, I don’t know, moody.”, she replied cautiously, probably feeling my alpa aura pulsing through the phone line.
“Yeah, Sam. I’m good.”, I answered, softening my tone toward her. Not normally prone to apologies, to anyone, I know she wasn’t expecting one. But I felt as though I owed her one, anyway. “Listen, I know you’ve put a ton of work into this event. But it’s important.”
“No problem at all. I’ll get it handled. Just text me her information and I’ll have it hand delivered tomorrow.” I could sense her hesitation as though she had a question. “Who is she?”, boldly asking what no one else, except maybe my beta, Ryker would.
“You’ll see, Sam. For now, that’s my concern.”, he answered shortly. “Thanks for getting it done on short notice. You’re the best almost sister I’ve ever had.”, I told her.
“I know, C. I know. You’re alright too.”, she said with a smile before hanging up.
I got up and walked out to the balcony to clear my head and refocus on work. We’ve had rogue attacks on the border pack territories lately. It’s more organized, somehow, and seems as though it may in some way involve other supernaturals. It just feels… different. As though they’re searching rather than looking to attack. I have Ryker on it.
I paced back into my suite and, sinking into my bed, thought about solutions. When I drifted to sleep though, I was thinking about blue-violet eyes looking at me with need and amber hair fanned across the pillow next to me.

After Cass left, I jumped in the shower, letting the heat from the water and pressure of the spray help me relax. I couldn’t seem to stop thinking about the mysterious stranger by the lake for some reason. It wasn’t just his gorgeous eyes and handsome face, though. It was somehow something more than that. I had felt drawn to him. Must be his very strong alpha aura. I wonder where he’s from that he would put out that much strength even held back like I’m sure it was. And if I’ll ever see him again. I threw on my old comfy sweats and t-shirt, ran down to tell my parents goodnight, and headed to bed. As I drifted off to sleep with thoughts of him, I felt a strange sense of foreboding. That night, the dreams started.

I woke up this morning feeling like I haven’t slept in a week. Something has had Havoc on high alert in my head. He keeps pacing like he’s agitated and I can’t get him to calm down or talk to me. He’s worried. I can tell this much. “Havoc. Calm. What’s wrong? If it’s the rogue situation, Ryker’s on it with me. We’ll protect the packs and handle the threat.” “Protect. Now.” He answered, all but jumping out of my skin. “We will, Havoc. We will.” “Not just the packs. Her.” he said, increasing his aura and anxiety. “What are you talking about?”, I asked, though I had a feeling I knew where he was going with this. “Mate. Something’s coming.”, an ominous tone to his answer.

I watched the muscles in his back flex through his shirt as he walked away. Then I looked down at the forgotten envelope in my hand. As I turned it over, I noticed the deep purple wax seal. The seal of the Lycan Prince. I hurried inside to my parent’s office to look for the letter opener and bumped into my dad on the way. “Hey, Sweets. Why in such a rush so early?”, he asked with a chuckle and a steadying hand as I rushed past him. “Well, I’m not really sure yet. Someone who works for the Prince just dropped this by and I’m really curious. And confused.”, I admitted. “Someone who works for the Prince?”, he asked, eyebrows raised. “Yeah. He told me I was to have it as soon as

I was sitting at my desk waiting for Ryker to show for our meeting, thinking about this morning with Lyse. A small smile came to my lips as I recalled her shock at seeing me. When she made the mistake of assuming I worked for the Royal Lycan Family, I didn’t correct her. Nor did I lie. I do, just not in the capacity that she thinks I do. Havoc was beside himself with wanting to mark and mate her, especially after our skin touched and the proverbial sparks went flying. I know she felt it too. I saw it in her eyes, and those of her wolf, who tried to push forward toward mine. “She ours, Chase. Why are we playing this silly game?”, Havoc huffed. “Patience, Havoc. She’ll know soon enough. And it’s not a game. It’s a dance.”, I told him. “We want her.”, he

Since it was Sunday, Cass, Cristabell and I were meeting at Tranquility. It was quiet and I had a lot to fill them in on. I wonder if they got an invite to the coronation, too. I was still curious about that. Why me?“Mom? Dad?”, I yelled up the stairs, “I’m headed to the lake with Cass and Crista!”Mom headed down the stairs with a basket of laundry, her hair escaping her ponytail, looking a bit flushed.“Ok, Sprite. Be back this afternoon by three and we’ll head out to find a dress.”I leaned over and pecked her cheek as she rushed by. “Ok. Love you. Where’s Dad?”Mom turned and glanced at me before quickly looking away. “Oh, something cam

I had one of my personal guards keeping an eye on Annalyse from a distance. With a large pack of rogues around the borders of her pack’s territory, I wasn’t willing to take any chances with her safety.Alec passed on to me this morning that she was meeting her friends today, and Havoc and I both needed to see her. He was restless not being near her and honestly, I was too. I decided to go to her lake and see her. If her friends knew who I was, so be it. She was going to find out anyway in just a few days.She seemed shocked when I delivered her the invitation yesterday, though she hid it well. I found it an adorable tell of her nerves, the way she blurted out her thoughts at high speed when she was flustered.I hurried through the forest, her scent on the wind telling me she was

I was shaken out of the bubble that was Chase and I when he asked me to introduce my friends to him. In truth, I almost forgot they were there. The way he looked me up and down had my treacherous body feeling all kinds of things. I felt like I had to be closer to him for some reason. It was a pull that I didn’t understand, like a string was tied to the very center of me inside being pulled by a string attached to him. Bella was thrilled to see him again.‘It’s HIM!’ she exclaimed, jumping around inside of me like she was on a pogo stick.‘Let me OUT Lyse! I want to meet his wolf!’, she all but demanded, pushing herself forward causing my eyes to flash violet.I paused at that. She has never been insistent to meet a male wolf before.

I jumped in the cool, clear water and surfaced with the water coming to just under my nose. Mostly to hide my smile. I heard every word they said. Now I just had to play it cool, which was no easy task given that it sounded like my girl has been talking about me to her friends.I almost laughed out loud at being called walking sex. I knew I was attractive and had my fair share of attention because of it throughout the years, but no one has ever been so open and frank in my presence. Great Lycan hearing can be a deterrent to casual remarks anywhere near me. It was refreshing in a lot of ways. Almost like I was a new friend in their group instead of a Lycan Prince surrounded by those who mostly said what I wanted or needed them to say out of fear or obligation. It was nice to hear real candor, even if they didn’t know that I heard it.

AnnalyseI sat there, ears straining to hear what was being said as I tried to reach out to Bella.‘Bells? Are you there? Please answer me.’, I pleaded.Still nothing. As I sat, I began to panic. What would happen if whatever they gave me killed her?I also felt sick again. And hot, like I was going into another heat. But it was way too soon for that.The talking stopped as the footsteps stalled outside the room we were in.I felt nervous and a little scared, especially without my wolf as the door opened slowly and a familiar scent hit my nose.“Well, look who we have here. A visitor for you, Annalyse.”I looked up, shocked to see what my brain already knew.Out of the shadows and into the light walked Cristabell. My other best friend.She looked at me, disgust written all over her face, jealousy blazing in her eyes.“Crista?! What are you doing here?”, I asked, genuinely confused at this point, hoping against hope that she wasn’t being held here too.“What am I doing here?”, she scof

AnnalyseI felt so groggy and I was worried. Really worried. I haven’t been able to talk to Bella since being taken.I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I felt like I was underground, the walls around me made of stone that had long ago begun to crumble and mold from lack of upkeep.I was in a cell, lying on a dirty mattress that had been thrown down here. No sheet or blanket and despite the time of year, it was pretty cold down here. A single candle was the only light flickering through the darkened space outside of the cell.I sat up against the wall as I tried to reach out to Bella again.‘Bells? What happened? Where did you go? I’m worried.’Nothing. Not even a glimmer that she was there, though I could feel something stirring inside of me.I couldn’t seem to link Chase either.I wanted my mate. Surely he’d be coming for me.The last thing that I remembered was leaving him to go to the bathroom in the packhouse and hearing Asher crying for help.Then everything goes black.“

AnnalyseI came to with a terrible headache and filled with panic. Bella had gone quiet, almost as if she weren’t there at all.‘Bells?’, I reached out to her.Nothing. Not even a stirring.I tried to communicate through linking.Nothing there either.What had whoever grabbed me given me?I tried to clear the fog from my brain when I registered footsteps coming.I closed my eyes, still trying to gather my thoughts, but I didn’t want to hint to whoever was coming that I was awake.“Dammit, Zane! How much did you put on that cloth?”, I heard a deep voice demand. “Enough to knock her out and keep her from fighting me long enough to get her here.”, I heard another answer.“She should be awake by now. I need her alive.”, I heard the first say.“Everyone processes the mixture differently. It’s possible that her wolf is still working it out of her system.”, the second man answered.“That better be all that it is. We’re working on a minimal time frame at best here. He’s going to find her. Hi

ChaseI was beyond pissed. I had heard every word that that vile girl spoke to Lyse. Havoc was itching to get out and do some damage.As I walked through the trees, watching as the girl was about to hit my mate, fury surged through me. Ryker stepped in just in time, willing to allow it to go only so far.I knew that Lyse could handle herself, but it was my job to keep her safe.She was surprisingly calm and collected and handled the situation with as much poise and grace as one could while being called the King’s whore.I knew what she was doing when she said she’d have to think about a proper punishment. Normally, I would’ve just given one myself, but as much as I wanted to, it was her decision to make.The waiting alone would probably drive the girl a little nuts as it was, I thought with a small smile.Lyse confirmed it a moment later.“Waiting should be punishment enough.”, she said.I gave her a small chuckle. “I thought that’s what you were doing.”, I said.“Yeah, well. It proba

AnnalyseThe man at the back of the crowd watched the proceedings with interest, and quietly.No one noticed that he didn’t belong, or even that he was there for that matter. The following celebrations added to the distraction of the already confused crowd and gave him the opportunity to slip away unnoticed.I was walking around the celebration, smiling and nodding while also paying attention to the whispers that surrounded me when no one thought I was there. “The King sure seems awful close to Lyse. What’s going on?”, one girl asked another.“I don’t know, but were you there when he kissed her on his way up to the pack house before?”, the other asked back.I recognized them both from school. Mean girls who had nothing better to do than gossip and well, be mean. Bianca and Eloise.“I knew she was nothing but a little slut. First Jace, now the Lycan King.”, the first said.We had opted not to tell many about the fact that we’re fated mates yet. Mostly because the situation with the O

Annalyse“You are aware that by giving him your blood, you may also transfer some of your Astrydian ability to him as well?”, KIng Arvand asked.“Yes.”, I answered. “And what better man to give them to? He served my father faithfully, has loved my mother and kept me safe and protected all of these years. He should have been a born Astrydian as far as I’m concerned.” I said.My dad pulled me to him in a quick hug. “Thank you, Lyse. It’s been my honor and privilege.”, he said quietly.Chase and King Arvand looked on, Chase turning to his father.“They are both remarkable.”, he said with a small smile.“Yes. They are.”, King Arvand answered.“Alright then. Now that that’s settled, let’s get this show on the road!”, Chase said.“How do you feel, Dad? Are you ready?”, I asked my dad.“Fine and yes.”, he said with a wink as we headed out the door toward the back grounds of the pack house to begin the ceremony.Outside, the night was warm. It seemed as though everyone from the territory was

ChaseThis bastard was really pissing me off. How dare he speak to my mate the way he was. Kudos to her though; she was handling it all beautifully. Grace and dignity befitting the queen that she is was oozing out of her. Watching the confident woman in front of me with the calm demeanor and glowy eyes, I was beyond proud. She was going to be the perfect queen to our packs.When she flipped her hair back to reveal her mark, the shock in his eyes was worth the price of admission.“I… I”, he stuttered.“You what?”, Lyse asked him. “You were just going to apologize? Well, go ahead then.”, she finished, a hand on her hip, waiting.I looked at him, my Lycan command clearly causing him pain. “She’s waiting.”, I said.“I’m sorry.”, he said, hatred and disbelief flaring in his wolf’s brown depths as he worked to fight the command of another Alpha.“I’ve come not only as a guest tonight.”, I started, easing up on the command to make sure he wasn’t too uncomfortable to listen to my words.He s

AnnalyseI smiled as Chase winked and closed the office door behind him. I was trying to calm my anxiety, nervous for what I knew would be a pretty big confrontation.“I’m going to run to the bathroom real quick”, I said to my parents as I turned to head toward one of the packhouse bathrooms.“Are you alright? You look a little pale, Sweets.”, Dad said with concern.“I’m okay. I think it’s just the anxiety of everything that’s happening. I think it’s catching up with me. That’s all.”, I said, knowing that that had to be it. It’s been a whirlwind of the last few weeks.“I’ll be right back.”“Should I come with you?”, Mom asked, starting to stand.“No, don’t worry. I’m just going down the hall.”, I assured her, knowing that Chase wanted me safe, but figuring that I’d only be a couple of hundred feet away.I walked down the hall in a hurry. I could feel my stomach getting ready to revolt any second and I had to get there before it did.I closed the door and locked it just in time to turn
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Confrontation
ChaseI gave Lyse a quick wink as Ryker entered and I closed the door behind us and stepped next to my father, giving him a nod.“Everything is ready, Your Majesties.”, Collin said, a smile of pride on his face. One that was about to come crashing down.“It is.”, I started. “However, I’m afraid that it’s not Jace who’s to become Alpha today.”, I finished, letting my words register.The office was silent as my words died away. I would wait for as long as it took him to grasp my meaning. He who speaks first loses, after all.Collin looked from me to my father and then back again, his face beginning to pale.“What are you saying?”, he asked slowly, as though waiting for the confirmation of his thoughts.I was happy to oblige. I tossed a file down onto his desk. All of the damning evidence against his son now available for him to see.He picked it up and began to thumb through it. My guys had been busy gathering statements of the girls he had been rough with, and in some cases forced unde
