Her Lycan Mate Chapter 67
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
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 68
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?
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 69
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
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 70
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
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 71
Maya's POV“I never saw her face.” She said so quietly that I almost missed it.“Y— you what?!” I stuttered in disbelief.Silent tears— along with a healthy dose of mascara— streamed down her face“I didn’t see! It all happened so fast. The crate was in the back of the top shelf so when she entered and offered to help, I had already hoisted myself up on the lower shelf in my attempt to reach it. I had my back facing her the entire period we spoke.” She explained.I gaped at her.“Then you didn’t think it was odd that she was there behind you doing nothing?!” My voice rose with hysteria and the male working on his laptop nearby gave me a hard glare. I didn’t give a damn. The whole café could hear me for all I cared— considering they were all werewolves in here, they probably had already. It didn't matter, this was a neutral zone for a reason. Anything we said about Drakor held no importance here.Theo shook her head miserably.“I just assumed that she was there to get something too. I
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 72
Maya's POVPure terror gripped me as my eyes darted around the small cubicle for some kind of weapon and once again landed on Theo’s lifeless body.Was I going to be next?Helpless tears streamed down my cheeks as I scratched, bit and kicked, thrashing against the vicelike grip on my mouth and arm. I used all my might but it was fruitless.Behind me my captor— a male if I were to guess from his body— tightened his hold on my arm and I groaned in pain. Still in this position, he steered us out of the restroom and into the café.In there, I begged with my eyes for someone, anyone, to interfere but the few gazes that met my pleading one quickly flickered away. A new paralysing fear kicked in and I shook with the realisation that I was truly on my own.No one here was going to help me. This was the neutral zone where people minded their business and stuck to their lane. I could be dead by sunrise and nobody would give a shit.I tried to shift but my captor sensing this twisted my arm fur
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 73
Maya's POVTo his credit, Chase did not react rashly but as our bond opened up, I felt the panic and anger rolling off him. I knew a good part of that anger was directed at me. Rightfully so.Still, concern brimmed in his gaze as it met mine.‘Are you okay?’ His voice in my mind was like a caress and it made me feel worse. If only I had listened.I didn’t ask where he had been or why he was in such a ragged state. I didn’t ask how he had found me.I had no energy to.Dropping back to the ground, I said hoarsely– “Theo is dead.”Chase’s eyes widening was the only visible reaction I got to my sombre announcement. Through our bond, however, I felt some of the shock and sorrow that consumed him.Shame filled me.He followed my line of sight to the café I had peacefully been seated in only minutes ago. By the time he finally regarded Ashton, his gaze had become artfully blank.“Ashton.” He acknowledged.The bastard nodded respectfully. “Alpha Chase.”“Is Genevieve aware that you are here?”
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 74
Maya's POVToday was filled with a lot of firsts for me.It was my first time questioning an accidental informant.My first time seeing Wolfbane.My first time accusing and punching someone I suspected of murder.And my first time ransacking the pockets of a dead person.The last one topped the list.With nausea rolling in my stomach, I hastily turned out Theo’s pockets. My newly found hope quickly dwindled with each empty pocket I checked.Chase remained frozen by the door, gaping at me as my hands rummaged in search of the card. His trancelike state was broken when Ashton joined him at the door.The impudent Shadow said–“It won’t be there.“At the same time, Chase whispered “Stop.”Instead of doing that, my search became desperate as I searched her pockets again.I could have missed it the first time, I had to be sure.“Maya, stop!” Chase yelled and ripped me away from Theo. “Stop it!”Beside him, Ashton looked away, his throat working.I shook my head and with power I didn’t know
