Her Lycan Mate Chapter 20
I could hear how loud my pulse was as I spun to face the vile male, my skin crawling at the sight of his left eye that darted restlessly without focus.“What did you just say?” I asked softly, refusing to believe that this unnerving bounty hunter had just made mention of my dad.He shifted his stance, balancing a duffle bag that I had not noticed before on his shoulders.“Heh, you don’t like that, do you? Me bringing up your father.” He snorted, laughing strangely at something only he knew about.I was starting to get annoyed. I scanned him again, taking note of details that I had missed before and something new struck me.It was fake. The animal skin he wore as a cloak was a fake, I could not pick up any scent from it.My nose flared and my eyes narrowed into slits, I could hardly pick up his own scent either, it was almost like he had somehow masked it.How...?“Who are you?” I gritted out, hoping that Chase would return. Others hardly ventured into the garden by this time and that

“Maya?”I barely registered the third time Henry called my name. As much as I thought the creep was deluded, I could not shake off the sense of foreboding that shrouded my consciousness. Why on Selene’s green earth would a random stranger go through the pain of sneaking into the well-guarded house to lie to my face?He was definitely deluded but still...“Henry?” By now, the astute Delta had lost interest in gaining my attention but instead circled me slowly with his nose flared.“What’s that?” He asked.He stopped circling and stood at the exact spot in front of me that the bounty hunter had been in minutes ago, sniffing the air with his brows creased in concentration.I knew he was trying to place the male’s scent but it was of no use. I had tried but it smelt like something and nothing at the same time, discerning it was impossible. I was surprised Henry could even pick up the faint scent, I had been with the male and had hardly perceived a thing.“What’s what?” I asked back innoce

“You met a bounty hunter and you said nothing?” Chase thundered furiously “Do you have any idea how dangerous they are?!”I did know, for a matter of fact.“He was—” I started but Chase cut me off and turned to Henry.“Can you trace him? He couldn’t have gotten far.”Henry’s reply was grim, “He doesn’t have a scent.”Chase’s frown deepened.“How is that possible?”“He had a scent,” I said softly, averting my eyes from Henry’s inquisitive ones and trying not to be bothered by my mate’s detached silence. “It was mixed up and wrong like Henry said but it was definitely there. I think he masked it with something, maybe extracts from different plants. Probably dracaena, marjoram...”I trailed off and shrank away from their weighty stare.“Never mind.” I said sheepishly.Chase let out a longsuffering sigh.“Hen, I suspect that this hunter was responsible for the commotion that Ron called me out for. A distraction. There was no way he could have taken Maya without getting caught but I want t

“Maya?”I was awoken the next morning by a knock on my door followed by Chase's voice calling my name with undertones of worry. The bright sun rays streaming in through the windows gave me a pause.What time was it?Frowning, I walked in a daze to the door and let Chase in. I was a groggy mess because when I had finally given in to the resilient arms of sleep, it had been pitifully fitful but I guess I should be grateful that it was without any nightmares.Still, I was mentally exhausted.I turned to go back to bed but paused when extra sets of footsteps did not follow mine. Looking back, I spotted Chase standing rigidly by the door, his eyes fixed on a point above my head.“What are you doing?”“We need to talk, I told you so last night.”No sleep then.“Mhmm, so why are you trying to become a statue by my door?” I asked, my head cocked to the side.“Darling, are you serious right now? I can't focus like this.” He said, rubbing his face with one hand.Okay, I was officially confused.

The text jarred me to a halt and a chill ran down my spine as I reread it. It was him, I knew it was him.How did he have my number?Chase studied me apprehensively. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing.” I lied, shoving my phone into my pocket and giving him a bright smile.Everything was wrong and my lies were building up.“Darling,” His brows lowered with worry. “you’re trembling.”“It’s nothing. I just got a text from my stepmother filled with her typical empty threats and it made me pause.” I shrugged casually. “She wants me to come home but we both know that is not happening.”At the mention of my stepmother, Chase’s mood shifted suddenly; his eyes turned brooding.“I’ve heard a few things about that family of yours.” He scowled. “They should pray I never meet them.”I sighed. “I too pray you never have to, they are horrible.”He brushed back the strands of my hair that had escaped my ponytail and tucked them behind my ear then gave me a crooked, comforting smile.“Forget them, let’s go put

Chase's POV“I saw them, they were right there! Those rascals shifted and ran off before I could get to them. I would have broken those gangly legs of theirs.”I shot a scorching look at the decrepit building she had pointed to then lifted my face to the sky begging for patience to deal with old Janine. Behind me, Ron snickered.'I'm going to kill you.' I told him over the link then turned to the female that had made us come all the way to the South side before the sun was fully out.“Janine, I asked you to let me know if you see any suspicious individual or if any hostile situation arises.” I explained slowly.She crossed her arms and with a stubborn frown said, “Yes, and those Oliver's boys are criminals in the making.” Then increasing her voice so that Oliver, her unfortunate neighbour, could hear, she shouted. “Criminals!”'I'm done, it's too early for this.' I said to Ron and stepped back.The ever-diplomatic Ron took my place and tried to reason with Janine with the patience of

Chase's POVWe agreed that Henry and I would go to Lunagrove while Ron would be in charge of the pack in my absence.The time for breakfast had passed but I was famished from my disappointing morning task so with Henry in tow, I headed to the kitchen to grab something to eat.“This is all so frustrating,” I swore. “I’ll wring Greene's neck if he harms Hwan any more than he already has. We need to figure out the story we’ll tell to get in and get out.”“I know, just let me eat something to help me think. Shit, I wonder how Maya dated that psycho.”I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl. “Don't make me remember that, I might do Earth a favour and actually kill him.”“Speaking of Maya, did the injury heal up?” Henry asked as he reached for a carton of milk.The apple on its way to my mouth froze mid-air.“What injury?” I asked carefully.He spun around and gaped at me like I had just uttered to dumbest thing he had ever heard.I frowned in annoyance. “Tell me wha—"The blood...Now that

Maya’s POVI heard Chase's footsteps and scrambled to shove the crumbled photo under my pillow before he ripped the door open.I had expected a knock but his sudden entrance threw me off-guard. Standing up, I flashed him a toothy smile that hid my inner turmoil.Did he know?The look in his eyes was hard to decipher as he studied me but when I stepped closer and reached out for him, he shifted away from my touch. My smile faltered, that small action affected me more than it should have.“I'll only ask this once.” He said finally, his voice like ice. “Where were you last night?”My heart leapt to my throat.'There was no way he knew,' I thought 'and if he did, how could I explain the truth to him?'A truth that I did not even fully know or understand yet, but I knew it would hurt him. This had to do with his late parents, after all.Lies bubble onto my tongue instinctively and I felt queasy as I let them out but I did so regardless, forcing an open expression onto my face.“I was dead
