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

Chase's POVI had come to the same conclusion the minute Ashton pointed to the deactivated cameras so I wasn’t surprised. However, I glanced at Maya to see her reaction to this revelation but she remained impassive.My gut twisted.I wasn't ashamed to admit that I had been terrified from the moment I heard her scream through our bond. The haunting sound still echoed in my mind.Ron and I had been returning from a meeting with a nearby pack and were almost at our border when we sensed a rogue attack.A group of rogues rushed at us and that was when I felt the first spike of fear. At first, I was confused. Dealing with rogues was hardly something to be scared about. Then I realized the emotion wasn't mine but Maya's.The dread which that realization brought was very real and very much mine.We had been outnumbered, the guards stationed there were few so pulling back to find Maya would have given them an opening.I couldn’t risk letting my focus slip by responding. Therefore, the only wa

Chase's POVI was unable to move for the duration of the video, afraid that if I did, I would miss a part of their conversation. Yes, it could be replayed but logic had escaped me so I didn’t think of that.My heart slowed to a stop in some parts. And in other parts, it broke all over again.How ironic was it that I could actually visualise Theo bounding down to the kitchen in search of a bottle of grape juice? It was one of the very few things which she and Aubrey disagreed on. My sister could drink anything else but the thought of grape juice made her gag. I still remember how hilarious Theo found her hatred for the drink.Listening to Theo made Aubrey’s loss feel raw once again.Further into the conversation, I heard how it had all gone wrong. The root of the problem which we had searched so hard for but couldn’t find.‘Later on, I realized that among the things I had told her, was the name of the road which Aubrey was to travel on.’A burst of air left me as I exhaled sharply in d

Chase's POVThunder clouds filled up the night sky and wind whipped viciously as I listened to the male's scratchy voice over the phone.“I'll be there in a few minutes.”Ending the call, I reached out to Ron in my mind and offering him only a summary of what had happened, I asked him to come over and discreetly take care of the body.My Beta, as usual, asked no questions and simply said he was on his way. Some of the weight on my shoulders lessened. I was forever thankful for Ron, I had no idea what I would do without him.I swallowed at the thought of reaching out to Theo's parents. I'd explain what happened to them and help organize a befitting burial for their daughter.I stayed out in the cold for a minute longer to allow my mind to quieten down before returning to the shelter of the cafe.Ashton's inquisitive gaze snapped to me as I walked in but it wasn't him I cared to see. Across from me, Maya's gaze stayed blankly fixed on the wooden table top and I silently urged her to loo

Chase's POV“I'll come back and get you all when your time is up.” Sylvanus mumbled his announcement as we stepped into the control room and then he scurried off.I scoffed.“Was that necessary?” Maya asked. Ashton was already heading to the countless rows of screens which went all the way up to the ceiling and displayed the live feeds of all the surveillance cameras placed in the zone.I turned to Maya. Those were the first words she had spoken since we left the cafe. The only light in the broad room came from the screens and it cast a blue light on Maya making her skin appear gaunt.“It was the most effective way considering the little time that we have on our hands.”She acknowledged this with a disgruntled sound. Before she could walk past me, I caught hold of her hand and gently lifted her chin so that her eyes met my worried ones.“How are you holding up?” I asked softly. “Don’t hide from me, sweetheart. We’ll weather this together.”For a split second, almost like it was an ins

Maya’s POVSomething in me awakened as I saw the footage. Blanked screens stared back at us.This was the person who had killed Theo. My mind snagged on this and anger pushed through my numbness.“Go back.” I said to Ashton. “Start from where we spotted the shadow then replay it at the lowest speed.”Ashton obliged instead of calling me out for making demands and Chase didn’t react to my renewed vigour either. Like me, they were both reeling from this unexpected revelationAshton was right. How had we not realized it sooner? Probably because I was busy pointing my finger at the wrong Shadow.A knock sounded on the steel door, creating a loud echo that made me jump. Chase looked at the time on his watch and cursed.The male who Chase hadn’t bothered to introduce us to poked his head through and his anxious gaze landed on Chase.“You have only five minutes left, this is the longest I can keep my colleagues away. They will return soon.”Chase’s gaze didn’t leave the screens. “Stall for u

Chase’s POV“Chase what the hell happened yesterday?” Ron demanded as he stormed into my office the next morning. I glanced up at him from working on my laptop and whatever he saw in my eyes gave him a pause.He frowned. “Are you okay?”At his question, a burst of laughter escaped me. It was dry, empty and almost manic— everything a laugh should not have been.“Do I look okay to you?”“Okay, stupid question. My bad.” The frown carved between his brows didn’t alleviate as he lowered himself into the chair across from me. If anything, it deepened as he studied me. “You look horrible. Like, really horrible.”“Gee, thanks.” I drawled and sent off an email.Given, that I had not slept a wink last night, it was expected.“Jokes aside. What happened, Chase?”“I wasn’t aware that we were joking.” My reply remained as superficial and this riled up Ron.“We aren’t, dude. One minute we were together fighting off rogues then the second we’re done you sprint off to who knows where without a word o

Chase’s POVI left for the Franchez’s home with dread curled tightly in my gut. Death of a loved one was hardly ever expected and the tragedy of it was always difficult to come to terms with. Sadly, I spoke from experience.Being the bearer of this bad news was just as horrible. It wasn’t my first time though. When you had power and people under you who followed your commands, you were bound to lose a few.The few times when unrest grew to battles, I lost warriors on the frontline, though thanks to smart strategizing which brought the battles to a quick end, they were few and far apart.I always offered my condolences to their family personally and compensated them in the best way I could. I wasn’t a complete monster.Regardless, breaking the news was difficult each time and this case was worse because Theo hadn’t died fighting. No. She had been murdered in cold blood.As I ran, my mind wandered and I didn’t realize that I had changed course until I slowed down. Around me, trees loome

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
