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?”

    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

    Maya's POVBefore I could rethink my decision of standing there rather than hurrying to hide, Chase stormed into the living room, his imposing height shrunk down the room.Voices sounded behind him but I could not decipher anything beyond his dangerously darkened whiskey eyes. They scanned me from head to toe then met my eyes with ardent fury.“Are you hurt?”I arched a brow. “Do I look hurt?”He didn’t get to talk to me the way he had last night then barge in here like a caveman acting all concerned.“I felt your terror through our bond but I couldn’t reach to you—I still can’t. Why did you block me out of your mind?”I shook my head in disbelief and replied tersely, “If you want to pretend like you don't know, I'm sure as hell not going to humour you by answering that question.”I was close to yelling but refrained as we weren’t alone in the room.Five pairs of curious eyes stared at us without a word, Ron— who came with Chase— was the first to break the silence.“Chase, we left in

    Maya's POVI was roused from sleep by strong hands lifting me from my awkward place on the chair and I opened my eyes to see Chase’s glorious profile.The dim light of the room was just enough for me to make out the tired lines that circled his eyes.“Hey.” He whispered when he saw that I was awake.“Hi.” I gave him a nervous smile, stifling a yawn as he lowered me onto the bed and drew the sheets over me.When he brushed a feather-light kiss on my forehead and turned to go, I sat up in panic.“You’re going?”He rubbed the back of his neck. “I didn’t think you would want me to stay.”That was the opposite of what I wanted and I said so.“Please stay.”So he did.My heart thundered as he effortlessly pulled off his shirt and slipped under the sheets. It was no big deal that his naked torso was just inches away from my back, but that thought did nothing to fade the warm flush on my cheeks.Our uneven breathing filled the tense silence, both of us having so much to say yet saying nothing

    Maya's POV After we talked, a very reluctant Chase walked me over to Genny's. He had work to take care of and Faith had not so politely pestered me to come see the decorations of the dinner. The dinner was tonight, her dad would be coming back later today then everyone who was invited would join them for dinner by 7 pm. Henry, Ron and Case were invited along with other people I didn’t know but Genny had assured me that they were all close friends of the family so I didn’t have to be nervous. Did I know what I would wear yet? Nope. Was I currently hating myself for procrastinating the chore of finding a dress? Absolutely. The door swung open before I could raise my hand to knock, and Chase and I were greeted by a mass of red curls. “Maya!” Faith squealed. Her brows climbed in surprise when she spotted Chase behind me. “You want to see the decorations too, Alpha?” “You never invited me too, now did you?” He teased. “Is that Chase?” Genny's voice asked from inside. “Tell him to

    Maya's POVI gasped when I saw the dress on my bed. I hadn't used this room in a while since I had been staying in Chase's but that was not a concern, my attention was on the stunning dress I now held to myself as I looked in the mirror.'I figured you would want to get ready for the evening in your old room since we still haven't moved your makeup and most of your shoes. So, I left it there instead.'I had gone shopping several times since that first time with Ron— with Chase's black card of course— and my closet was bursting with shoes and clothes.And now I have a beautiful new addition.'Do you like it?' His voice was unsure as he asked.'Chase I don't like it—''Oh. That's okay, I can have the boutique send you a few more to choose from.'His deflated tone made me giggle. He was just so sweet.'Babe, you didn’t let me finish. I was going to say that I don't like it, I love it! This is gorgeous.'His gift was a show-stopping silk dress that felt like water and looked like a dream.

    I stared at our ride mouth agape and Chase chuckled.“Before you say anything about us driving there, you should know that I'm dead set on this. I want to be able to fully admire you in that dress before I share this beautiful view with anyone else and walking won’t let me do that freely without face-planting the sidewalk.”I laughed and rolled my eyes at his rant.“I understand that but it makes no sense that you would hire a limousine for such a short distance.”He gasped in mock outrage. “Hire? I'll have you know that this baby right here is mine.”I looked between him and the limo which's door he was now stroking like it was his baby and quirked a brow.“Should I be jealous?” I asked ignoring the fact that my mate just happened to have a whole ass limo sitting in his garage.“Oh, just get in smartass, we're going to be late.”Giving in, I said– “You should have thought of that before you started devouring my lips.”He had just helped me into the limo but at my words, he halted his

    Chase's POV“Fucking hell.” I swore as I flipped through the file.“It's clean.” Henry said from across the room where he leaned against the far wall of my study.“Too fucking clean.” I gritted out and dumped the useless heap of paper back on my desk.I wasn't in the best mood. The information I had asked for on Sally Wallace— the late owner of the car that had left Greene's had finally come in early this morning from Hwan's cousin.I had reluctantly gotten out of Maya's arms without waking her and hauled my ass to my study where Henry and Ron waited for me.Now I wish I hadn't. There was nothing that could help here.Ron sighed and flipped through his copy. “All her movements were accounted for and no single person she interacted with prior to being hospitalized could be classed as suspicious or odd.”“Basically, she was the cleanest, most problematic woman before cancer did her in.” Henry flopped onto a chair, exhaustion written all over his features.“Yeah, or someone took great pai

    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
