Her Lycan Mate Chapter 24
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

Maya's POVLater that day, I reluctantly went downstairs to grab a snack before returning to my room to sulk. I hoped I would not cross paths with Chase, I did not want to see that look on his face that made me feel like a stranger to him.“Hi!”A flurry of red curls flew into my vision after the voice, blocking my exit from the kitchen.“Hi?” I replied, peering down at the girl’s pale face. I realized with surprise that she was the one who had smiled at me when I was first introduced to the pack.“Um, hey there. I saw you at dinner the other evening, what’s your name?” I asked.“Faith.” She smiled, her eyes glinted with mischief and I had a feeling that she knew she was delaying my much-needed escape back to the solitude of my room with the lone granola bar I had managed to snag.“Okay, Faith,” I said, resigned. If I bumped into Chase, then so be it “How may I help you?”“Oh, no. I want to help you.” She said, emphasizing the ‘you’.“Um, okay? What exactly do I need help with though?

Maya's POVI had no doubts that I had woken her. The numbers on my bedside clock blinked harshly in the dim morning. It was 5:27 am but I could not wait.My hand trembled as I clung to my phone, my pulse still struggling to decelerate from the scary pace that my horrifying nightmare had pushed it to.There was silence then Freya's voice returned, this time filled with irritation.“What do you want? Why are you calling me by this time?” She snapped.“I cal—"“Then again, criminals like you don't exactly have manners. Say, Maya, you've always pretended to be good, did our Alpha's rejection hurt you so much that you had to throw your life to the wind for such a stupid revenge? Arson, really?”Her smug laugh suggested that she could not care less whether or not I had been hurt.'So Kylan had made our rejection publicly known but contorted the truth to make it look like it was him who rejected me.' I thought but could not summon any energy to care about that fact.I was too emotionally dra

Chase's POV(Back to when they left the house after Chase confronted Maya)'Are you good?' Henry's worried voice sounded in my mind as we sped for Lunagrove in our wolf forms.I knew his question was concerning Maya but I did not want to think about her so I just said;'I will be.' Because I was an Alpha first and foremost, my members were my priority and right now, Hwan needed me.I could not afford to be distracted. Bracing myself, I buried all thoughts of Maya's dishonesty and focused on the task at hand.We managed to come up with a ruse that we believed Greene would fall for but we got there late so we lodged in the Lunagrove's hotel and waited for the night pass.The next day, we went to their pack house at the break of dawn and requested to speak with the Alpha.The stoned-faced guard had been reluctant to call for Greene but when he heard my name, he did so instantly.As we had expected, only I was allowed to meet Greene so Henry had to wait behind as I walked into the receivi

Chase's POV “Fuck!” Greene cursed, running restless and through his hair. “Fine, I accept your offer, don’t go to Augo.” Letting out a silent sigh of relief, I gave Greene a tight smile. “Lovely. Now, where is Hwan?.” “Ferg.” He called out and the brutish guard from earlier appeared. “Release the male we have locked up downstairs.” “Yes, Alpha.” “Wait,” Greene said, casting a furtive glance my way, he added. “Clean him up before bringing him up.” “Great,” I clapped as the brute left. “I'll wait in the foyer. The proposal and contract will be in your inbox by next tomorrow." When I saw Hwan, fury rose within me and I spun and stalked towards Greene. “You never got solid evidence but you did all that to him?!” I growled, my wolf dangerously close to the surface. He took one look at my eyes and stepped back, his inept confidence withering away. He deserved to be scared! Hwan was covered in bruises and could barely stand upright, leaning heavily on the guard that had brought him

Chase’s POVWith a hand on Maya’s waist, I led her back to the ballroom. “What was that about?”“Long story.” She sighed. “I’ll tell you when we get home. Why did you come looking for me?”I eyed her. “With the amount of time you took, you might have drowned in the toilet— ow!” I laced my fingers through hers to stop her from elbowing me again. “I was worried. You took so long and I tried to reach you but you’ve put up that darn wall again. You need to stop doing that.”My alarm had grown as everyone went far with dinner but Maya still didn’t return. I would have come to find her since but Ron managed to slightly ease my worry by assuring me that if she was in trouble, she would have reached out to me. So, I had waited until dinner neared its end and empty glasses were being replaced with wine to make a toast to the night’s success. That was when my patient snapped.Maya grimaced guiltily. “Sorry, babe. I didn’t want you to feel me getting worked up and come find me.”I sighed. “Okay,
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 102
Maya's POVI scented her before I saw her.“Did you and Kylan plan this? You both are making this night way too long for me.” I sighed and turned to face Lily who watching me like a hawk watching a stray chick. So damn theatrical. Both of them should work at the opera.The overwhelming smell of alcohol drew my attention away from Lily to the other female present and I frowned.“You!” I pointed, flabbergasted.Lily smirked. “Nice work, Sloane. For a moment I thought she wasn’t going to show but here she is.”‘Sloane’ was the female that had bumped into me and spilt her drink down my back. Her staggering flushed state had made me think she was drunk but seeing her coherent and standing beside Lily made me realize that her drunken act was only a ploy to get me here.“Well played, Lily, I’m here now. What do you want?” I asked and stalked to the mirror to survey how bad my dress was.A look passed between Lily and Sloane before Sloane brushed passed me with a scornful sneer to exit the re
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 101
Maya’s POVThe night went on with no further incident and soon we were called to sit for dinner. As Chase and I moved to our designated spot, where Ron was already seated— thankfully he had ditched the shades— a server bumped into me but Chase pulled me out of the way before anything could spill on me. I couldn’t relish his smooth safe though because seconds later someone else bumped into me from behind.Cold wetness seeped through the back of my dress and spread everywhere. I felt mortified.“You have got to be kidding.” I gasped and swivelled around.“Oh my goodness, I am so sorry.” A drunk female brunette that looked oddly familiar hiccupped. Her face was red and the glass whose former content now decorated me hung loosely from her hand. “I’m sorry, it was an accident.” She muttered again and staggered away while I simmered in annoyance.People around cast furtive glances my way and I rolled my eyes in irritation. Suddenly, warmth and the scent of my mate encased me as Chase placed
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 100
Maya’s POVWe turned to see the blue-eyed devil dressed in a navy blue tuxedo with a smirk gracing his lips.From the corner of my eye, I caught Ron emerge from the crowd to watch our interaction through narrowed eyes.“Greene,” Chase acknowledged him with a cold barely there smile. “I can’t say I’m glad that I made it either.”“You were able to address the sudden problem that arose then?”“Regrettably, yes.”“Ah.” Kylan nodded. “Ever efficient.” Disgust rolled off Chase in waves. Kylan then turned to me. “And who may this be?”I stiffened. All the while he spoke, I had kept my gaze on the ground but as he asked, he met his gaze with a thousand hells of hatred burning from mine.I knew he would not recognize my scent as it was now intermingled with Chase’s since we mated but I had no doubt he would recognize my face.Kylan didn’t disappoint. His eyes rounded as recognition filled them and he staggered back and then forward as he attempted to reach for me. I say attempted because his h

Chapter 99Maya's POV.Ron dislodged from his killing machine and joined us.“How does your hair still look good after that ride?” The jealousy in my voice could be heard from a mile away.“It’s in the genes.” He shrugged and reached into his pocket. I thought of how gorgeous Genny effortlessly was and nodded. It really was in the genes.My gaze caught on the object Ron pulled out. “Ron, no.”“What? It ties the look together.” He said, happily donning his new accessory despite my protests.“You do not need that.” I shook my head at him.“He likes to look as unapproachable as possible at these kinds of events.” Chase explained without prompt, his eyes taking down every detail of our surroundings.I looked Ron up and down sceptically. “And you settled on wearing a pair of sunglasses indoors to achieve that? At night time for that matter?”“Why not?” Ron shrugged. “Nightcrawlers get away with it.I facepalmed, knowing fully well who he was referring to. “Ron, their vampires. Of course, t
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 98
Maya's POVReaching for my phone on the bedside table, my gaze fell on the bed and heat crept up my cheeks as images of Chase and me from earlier flashed in my mind. Moments ago, we were there being all wild and dirty but now, as we got ready, silence enveloped the room as we stayed stuck in our thought bubbles.I was glad that Chase was coming with me because despite my insistence on attending the party, now that the minutes to show time were counting down, my bravado was gone and all that I felt was dread.Failing to conceal my anxiety, I drew in a shaky breath and Chase’s eyes instantly snapped my way, meeting my gaze in the mirror.“Are you okay?” Worry laced his question.“Mhmm.” No, I think I might vomit.“I heard that.” He smiled wryly and came up behind me.“Oh.” Redness bloomed on my cheeks and neck. “I forgot I had gotten rid of the wall between us.”Chase laid a feather-light kiss on my exposed shoulder. “I’m glad you did.”“So am I.” I smiled, leaning into him.“Feeling be
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 97
Chase’s POVWhen Maya had walked out on me earlier, I had no idea she had left to go shopping. And worse, she was with another male.When Gen told me that Maya was with Ashton, it had rubbed me the wrong way. I didn’t like how close they seemed to have gotten, and neither did I like the way the Shadow looked at her.On entering the boutique, I was directed to a dressing room where I found Ashton lounging crossed-legged on a sofa with a glass of wine in hand. I looked from him to the closed curtain which I knew my mate was probably currently mostly naked behind as she tried on clothes.My jaw clenched as I saw the mini walkway. The scene made my blood boil, maybe because he was getting to see the side of Maya which I was currently deprived of.I knew that he had sensed the second I walked into this room but he took his sweet time turning to acknowledge me.“Glad you could make it.” He greeted without festivity.“Yeah, so am I.” The muscle in my jaw popped. “Thanks for keeping Maya comp

Maya’s POVI had a score to settle.On my way out of the pack house, I bumped into Ron and he let it slip that one other person was aware of this date change, as well as Chase’s desire to keep me in the dark about it.Guess who it was?“Genevieve fucking Tyuv!” Ashton lazily opened the front door before I could knock and I stormed into their living room with righteous anger.My target looked up from the rug where she was scrubbing at a damp spot. “I’ll assume you’re cursing because you can’t remember my middle name.”“No, I’m cursing because you knew about the Blood Moon Party and didn’t tell me!”“Oh,” She winced and dropped her rag. “That.”“Yes. That.” I snapped. “How could you? We were together yesterday and you didn’t think to bring up the fact that the party was in a day— which is today! Or the part where my headstrong mate decided Drakor won’t be present!”“The headstrong mate that you missed.” She muttered.“Genny!” I huffed in annoyance.“Fine! It was because Chase said not t
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 95
Maya's POVI was angrily shoving on my sneakers when my room door was pushed open to reveal none other than my mate.“Hey.” Chase greeted as he hesitantly stepped into the room.“Hi.” I breathed. I had no idea what emotions were displayed on my face but he remained standing on the other side of the room, studying me with as much caution as I did him.In my head, my wolf urged me to go to him. We missed his touch, his scent, everything about him. I missed him so much that I wanted to bury myself in his very essence and not come back up.I remained where I was though. Thoughts of his absence and the party warred with my desire to be held.Still, my mouth went ahead of my brain and spilt words before I could call them back.“I missed you last night.”The smile that slowly broke across his face was wide and breathtaking. Ethereal. Was it possible that he got more handsome from when I saw him last?My heart beat loudly in my ears as he made his way towards me with a glint in his eyes, only
