Her Lycan Mate Chapter 63
Maya's POVChase wouldn’t let me into the archive room so I returned to our room and he joined me moments later with a pile of folders in his hands.I reached out to collect them but he held on with a grim expression.“These can’t leave this room.”“Yes, Alpha.” I drawled, my hands still extended“I'm serious, Maya.” Chase frowned.“So am I. I'll be careful.” When his sceptical frown didn't lift, my hands fell to my sides as I sighed. “I promise.”He reluctantly released the folders and I took it triumphantly over to the desk.“The staff in Aubrey's wing consisted of how many people?” I asked as I flipped open the first folder. It contained information on Theo– Theodora Franchez.“The housekeeper and two cleaners.”Closing Theo's folder, I stowed everything away in the drawer and turned to Chase“No cook?” I asked. I remember seeing a kitchen during our mini-tour.“There was but Aub mostly made her own meals. The few times she chose not to, the cook assigned to her wing worked from th

Maya's POVThe folders Chase gave me contained standard information about each individual. For the staff, it had their résumé, passport photograph, extensive background reports and contact information. Theo's folder contained only the latter three. I had pored over all the files at least six times since I got them yesterday but nothing stood out.It was all clean and tidy but then again, it's not like anyone would include an evil past in the 'talk about yourself' section. Also, Chase had mentioned that they all moved away from Drakor after the incident. Considering they were interrogated with torture, that was no surprise.A loud clap startled me out of my reverie to the sight of a red-faced Genny frowning at me.“Maya, are you even listening?”“Of course I am.” I lied through my teeth. I hadn't heard a single word she had saidAs if knowing this, her eyes narrowed. “What did I say then?”“Well...you said it—” I broke off with a sheepish wince before I could dig myself into a bigger h

Maya's POV“Please don’t call me again. I have nothing to say to you. I left that pack two years ago and I don’t want anything to do with it anymore.” She stated coldly and matter-of-factly.“I understand. It's just that—” The polite tone I'd maintained through gritted teeth was instantly replaced by an enraged growl as Aubrey's former housekeeper hung up on me.I buried my face in a pillow and screamed until my voice grew hoarse then I returned to the files on the other side of the bed, and flipped through the pages with a force that threatened to rip them.I stumbled on the housekeeper's passport and poked it in the eye out of spite. I didn’t have any voodoo magic but it gave me satisfaction regardless.Chase had missed out on a lot of technicalities when he gave me these folders. He never said I couldn't contact them, though I now had a feeling he knew it would be of no use.I had called all four individuals currently under my scrutiny. One had continuously gone straight to voicema

Maya's POV“You called so many times, I had to. That's my old number and I hardly get calls on it anymore so I figured yours was important.” Theo said.My mind went into overdrive thinking of a way to mention Aubrey without spooking her. Genny said she remembered Theo being bubbly but the voice of the female I was speaking with sounded far from bubbly. It sounded sober and in no mood for beating around the bush.“What is this about?” She said, impatience creeping into her tone when I didn't speak right away.I cleared my throat nervously. Here goes nothing.“I’ll go straight to the point then. I’ve recently been to Drakor which I assume you are familiar with...” I trailed off to allow her time to concur but taunt silence was the only concurrence I got. I rushed through my remaining words. “I called to see if you would be up for answering a few of my questions regarding what happened two years ago.”“Is this about Aubrey?”I'd thought she sounded sober before but compared to now, that

Maya’s POVI joined Chase in the other part of the garage.“Come on, you promised.” If I sounded a bit whiny, it couldn't be helped.“Sorry, sweetheart, this one's past my ability.” He said as rolled out a worktable and began wiping down his tools. There was the nasty loophole he'd left. “It was torture, okay? I don't want you hearing any of the details.”“Leave out the details then.” I said, leaning against the worktable as I watched him.Chase sighed and gave in. “Then what do you want to know?”“If you used a lie detector what was the point of torture? Surely you would know the truth after using the machine.” I shot out before he could retract his capitulation.“That would have been the case but skilled liars find a way around the machine’s algorithm.”I frowned. “Is that possible?”“Unfortunately, yes.” He ran a hand through his hair, exhaustion written on his face. “It’s a psychological manoeuvre. A lie is only a lie if one believes it to be, so they trick their minds into believi

Maya's POV“Theodora hi! You called back.” My voice betrayed my utter disbelief. From the room, I heard a low thump and winced. Lowering my voice even more, I spoke with caution so I wouldn't wake Chase. He wasn't supposed to know about this call. “Have you changed your mind?”“I wasn't lying when I said I had no answers for you. Any questions you have would be better off being addressed to Alpha Chase. Anything I knew then, I had told him. But–“ I strained to hear her as her voice became a whisper. Due to fear, caution or timidity, I had no clue. “–there's something you should know if you are looking into Aubrey's death like I suspect you are. I— It isn't something I can explain over the phone. Can we meet up?”Now there are a couple of things you could be wondering and I’ll kindly address them.Did I know Theo? No.Could she be an axe murderer? Yes.Could this be a trap to harvest my organs? Yes.Was I still going to meet with her after pointing out the aforementioned possibilities?

Maya’s POV I had been to N.Z. only once before and as I donned my clothes behind a cluster of trees, I was reminded of why I never liked the place.At every corner, surveillance cameras blinked red, and there was an irritating hum which never seemed to cease. I could already feel a headache forming.The General Mall was a hallmark of sorts and people usually had no problem finding it which I assumed was why Theo used it as a reference for finding our rendezvous café.Finding the café should have been a piece of cake then but it wasn’t because like I said I had been here only one time before now and I had been bartending for a function that had kept me occupied the whole night and the next day, I was dead on my feet with no desire to explore the novel territory.So it was no surprise when I got to Haven at a quarter past four several wrong turns later and with a stitch in my side.I had read through Theo’s file again in preparation for this meeting thus her details and picture were fi

Maya's POVHave you ever been stuck in time before?Or sucked into limbo?I have never experienced either of the two but in that moment, staring at Theodora Franchez, Aubrey's best friend, I thought for certain that time had stopped and that I was in that fictional place of oblivion.A strangled laugh escaped me as I leaned closer to Theo.“I’m sorry.” Another distraught laugh. “Could you say that again? It almost sounded like you just admitted to assisting in my mate's sister's murder. I know that’s impossible though, because you were Aubrey's best friend. So please, could you repeat yourself?”Theo didn’t repeat herself. She said nothing at all and only stared back at me with those dim eyes.We stared at each other in silence and soon my unacceptance and disbelief gave way to fierce shock.Of all the things I had expected to learn from this meeting, never in a thousand years had I seen this coming.“What do you mean?” I spoke very slowly more for my benefit than hers. Somewhere deep

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
