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

Thus, the male I held prisoner was released to you of my freewill and onwards, there will be no dealings between you and I or your pack and mine.Furthermore, this letter equally serves to deter you from making any future visits to my pack. Here on out, you ALPHA CHASE are prohibited from stepping foot into LUNAGROVE PACK unless on special occasions when the presence of all acting Alphas is necessitated. For instance, the upcoming Blood Moon party which is to be held here.Going against this
Chase's POV I hit send on the email Ron had insisted I wrote inquiring about Greene’s reason for backing out of our deal. There was no point in asking though because his reason was clear as day; he did not want me to get too close and have the opportunity to dig up his skeletons. Too bad. 'I'm just getting started with you, Kylan Greene.' I thought as I pictured his stupid smug face. With all he had done, you would think he would be brave enough to face me but no, he was hiding behind his title. Fucking coward. “Ask Hwan's cousin to give me a full rundown on Sally Wallace.” She was the owner of the car. “I want to know how exactly she died, who she met with at the time, every single thing he can find.” Ron and Henry, we're going through the files containing all that our spies had documented from their time in Lunagrove. We needed to find out how Greene had managed to cover his tracts so effectively, and if he had partners in crime, who they were. Just then, a wave of guilt ro
Maya’s POV Things were going great. It was mostly Faith’s shopping spree as Genny and I strolled behind her chatting while she threw anything and everything that caught her eye into her cart. The black card (which her dad had apparently given her— you can guess which parent did the spoiling) had no limits but she seemed keen on testing that fact. So, yeah, things were going great until we heard a faint meow, and then it all went downhill. Faith's head whipped in the direction of the sound then looked at her mum, her eyes wide as saucers. “Mum...” “Don't even think about—” Faith dashed towards the source of the meow and disappeared around the back corner of the store before her abandoned cart could even steady. “—it. I'm going to leave her here and go home.” I giggled. “It's probably just a lost kitten, she’ll pet it and hurry back.” Genny shook her head with dismay. “You’ve known her for a while now, Maya. Have you ever seen my daughter half-ass anything?” The memory of whe
Maya's POV “Why didn’t you tell me?.” I asked as I stood in the centre of Chase's bedroom with my arms wrapped tightly around my torso, my mind securely blocked from his. Chase closed the door and turned to me, his expression solemn. “Gerald's condition is not stable and I didn’t want you to feel worse if things eventually went south.” “I doubt it's possible for me to feel worse than I've felt these past few days. You knew the person who helped was Gerald and that he had survived yet you didn’t tell me in case things went south?” “But I'm telling you now, isn't that enough?” “You're telling me days later because you’ve had some mystical change of heart.” The fact that I had felt so close to him just last night made his deception hurt more. “We freaking mated and all the while you were keeping this from me? What would you have done if something had gone wrong? Would have just kept lying to my face forever?” He knew that guilt had been eating me up because of this, it made no sen
Maya's POV“Shit!” Genny swore. “Maya, no!”My stance faltered as Genny ran to the male I had just kicked.“No?” I kept my eyes glued to the stranger’s hunched form “He just freaking dropped from the sky and came at me!”“Fucking hell, I’m bleeding.” The male hissed, his voice muffled by his hand pressed against his nose.I couldn’t even feel smug that my kick had done damage because I could not for the life of me understand what was going on.Genny inspected his face and handed him a handkerchief. “Take this, Ashton, put pressure on it.”I stared at her, gobsmacked. “What the heck, Genny, you know him?! You knew there was someone up in the trees!”“Actually.” She gave me a sheepish smile. “It wasn’t just him up there.”“What are you—"I let out a startled yelp as another figure dropped to the ground beside me. It was a female this time and she landed soundlessly in a crouch then straightened to her full height with the grace of a warrior.She was a sight to see; stunning ebony skin t
