Maya's POV

Fuck my stupid luck! I just might die before 9 PM, after all.

Jonathan had the audacity to grin gesturing mockingly to my claws, “Are those what you plan to fight me with?"

He pulled out a dagger and I stepped back, bumping into the oven. I was caged in between the island and the oven.

My eyes darted frantically in search of an opening to run and when Jonathan noticed, he chuckled— a guttural sound that set my teeth on edge.

“You won’t be going anywhere, girly, I told you I would come for you and here you are waiting for me unprotected and so pitifully vulnerable. This is almost too easy.”

“I agree, it's too easy and where is the fun in that? So why don't you get the hell out of here, Jonathan.” I said, anger giving me courage. “I have no idea what problem you had with my dad but it has nothing to do with me!”

I knew there were guards outside so I sucked in air prepared to scream for help but the sound died in my throat as his dagger whizzed past my head and embedded in the

    Maya's POV I was floating in an abyss then I wasn’t. Searing pain in my skull ripped me out of my peaceful drifting and crash-landed me back in reality. I moaned in pain. Every part of me hurt; my head felt like it had been split in half and something uncomfortable filled up my mouth. Death would have been a welcome relief but I was still very much alive. How come? My vision blurred, going in and out of focus. Bless the goddess (who seems to have abandoned me), I was still in the pack house's kitchen, in a chair. I moved to stand but met resistance and looked down to see my limbs bound by zip ties. Did he think these could restrain a werewolf? I growled, yanking hard on the zip ties with all my might but they wouldn't budge. My tugging turned frantic with panic and I eventually became lightheaded. I could not break free, my wolf was weak from all the blood I had lost. 'Shit.' The gag in my mouth turned my frustrated curse into inaudible grunts. I took in my surroundings and

    Chase's POV.Something was terribly wrong.The stillness of the house was not what raised my hackles, I knew everyone would be at the party in town. The foreboding I felt now was because there were no guards around.It was normal for them to stay hidden but I was always able to make out their silhouettes at each corner but today, no single one was here.My dread worsened when I reached out to them in my mind and came up empty.I strode inside, my mind racing.'Where are the guards?'Ron's reply over our mind link came quickly 'Where else would they be? At the house keeping Maya safe.'My steps faltered, the scent of blood filling my nostrils at the same time I processed his words.Were those footprints?'Maya isn’t with you?'I didn’t listen to his reply because I was already running, following the bloody trail to the kitchen where it led.I spotted him first then I saw Maya, pale as death, strapped to a chair and soaked in blood.After that, I saw red.My wolf took over and pounced o

    Maya's POV.I woke up with a start, searching for Chase. I could feel him closeby but the harsh lights above me left me blinded.As if sensing that I needed him, he was there in an instant, taking my hand in his and placing a kiss on it.“I'm here, darling, go back to sleep.” The angelic voice I had come to love ordered gently and I happily obeyed.So, I closed my eyes and sunk back into the darkness, away from all the ache.**The next time I woke up, I felt strong. The throbbing pain in my head was gone and my body no longer felt like it had been mauled by a pack of lions.But there was something more...It pulsed in me reaching out to another. It was foreign yet familiar like it should have always been within me.What 'it' actually was, I wasn’t sure but I had an inkling.Chase...My eyes flickered open, immediately searching for him.When I found him inclined on a chair at the foot of my bed, snoring softly, the new feeling in me intensified and then snapped into place like a puzz

    Maya's POVThe pack's physician gave my health an okay yesterday after I woke up and although most of my injuries had healed up thanks to our speedy healing as werewolves, my head wound was going to take a few more days.Also, the few scars scattered on my body will forever remind me of how close to Death's door I had gotten two days ago.Chase and I were in his study with Henry and Ron. I had just finished recounting everything to them too, and had watched Ron's face fall at every point throughout the story where Jonathan showed up.He was leaning against the wall with his arms folded and a frown etched between his brows.When I was done, the incident hung over the room like a weighty blanket as we stayed quiet, lost in our thoughts.I knew Ron felt bad about leaving me but let's be honest, Jonathan would have tried to kill me another time. Plus, it was my stupid ass that had insisted on staying alone when I knew a murderer was after me.Crossing the room to where Ron stood, I bumped

    Maya’s POV The second Chase walked us through the door, our lips crashed together in fervour while our hands roamed free, tugging impatiently on the clothes that separated our skins.His scent flooded my already muddled senses and when I tightened my legs around his hips, he groaned into my mouth, thrusting forward as if he couldn’t help it.“I need you.” He breathed before lowering me onto the bed and then allowing his fingers to travel down my body; down my collar bone to graze my aching breast through my shirt.I moaned and arched into him, craving more.My desire was electrifying and our bond amplified it so that it felt like I might explode from his touch alone— a lovely way to die— but when he settled in between my legs, the reality of what we were about to do hit me like a train.“Wait, wait. Time out.” I pushed up on my elbows, my voice husky and Chase paused his maddening ministrations on my body, arching a brow in question as he panted.We were still fully dressed but a wav

    Maya’s POVWant to know the absolute best way to wake up?It’s with your mate's arms around you, skin to skin, enveloped in his scent and warmth.I had been awake for a while now just listening to Chase's breathing and engraving every detail of his glorious face into my memory.I was slightly jealous of his beautiful dark eyebrows and lashes, then his strong nose, slightly crooked but that along with the faint lines on his forehead only made him impossibly more attractive.I pressed my legs together as I recalled licking his razor-sharp jawline while we made love last night. We had gone at it for hours, pausing once in a while to rest and have laughter-filled conversations but besides that, we had fucked like bunnies until sleep won us over. He had claimed my body so thoroughly that I doubted walking would be possible this morning.I shook away my thoughts before I could get hornier than I already was and returned to studying my mate. I was surprised that I woke up so early while he w

    Maya’s Pov “Drop it off in my study, I’ll be there in a second.” Chase said to Sean, his jaw tight. After Sean left, I turned to Chase. “Why would Kylan send you a letter?” “I have no idea.” He shrugged already standing up. “I’m doing business with him now so it could be concerning that.” I knew about the timbre ordeal with Lunagrove but I still doubted it would warrant sending an official letter. Kylan was anything but formal, if it was about their business, he would have just called the pack’s Beta to reach out to the Alpha. So why then was an official letter coming to Chase directly instead of Ron getting phoned? “I’ll tag along and take a peek, or curiosity will eat me up.” I grinned up at Chase, moving towards the door but he stopped me with a hand on my shoulder. “No need, love. I’ll tell you what it is about when I see you later.” He kissed my forehead and strode out without looking back, if he had he would have seen a frown of confusion and hurt on my face. Why did it f

    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,

    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

    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

    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

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

    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

    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

    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
