Her Lycan Mate Chapter 76
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
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 77
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
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 82
Maya’s POVI woke up like I had done for the past three days after that horrible night with silent tears streaming down my face and the image of Theo’s lifeless body burned into the back of my eyes.The sun was already high in the sky but I remained in bed till hunger clawed at me and made me feel nauseous. Chase’s space beside me was empty though his scent lingered, I curled myself into it, breathing in the essence of the one I love the most.Then my mind wandered as it has often done these few days to what could be on his mind. While I had erected the steel walls of my mind to keep my thoughts safely tucked away from Chase, he had done no such thing but I just couldn’t look.I was too scared to probe into his mind. What if he hated me now?Who was I kidding? Even I hated me. I had been so stupidly naive. If Chase hadn’t found Aubrey’s killer after all this time why on earth did I think that my pathetic efforts would make a difference?My stomach growled and I curled further into mys

Maya’s POVGenny reared back as though I had slapped her.“What?”Then the words gushed out with a sob.“I’m sorry I was daft enough to meet up with Theo. What happened is my fault, I never should have been so reckless. It's okay if you hate me, it’s okay if everyone does—”My words were successfully shut off by a violent shake of my shoulders.“Maya!” She didn't lift her hands from my shoulders. “Maya, no. Listen to me."“Listen to me!” She demanded with a hard shake when I looked away from her intense gaze. “Do not ever think that way. The only person to blame is the bastard who did that, not you.”“But—“But nothing. You made the call while Theo set the meeting. So what? Neither of you could see the future. No one could have predicted the turn of events so be kind to yourself. Stop beating yourself up over something you had no control over.”“I wish it was that easy.” I whispered then because the thought was killing me, I added, “I think Chase hates me.”Genny's response was automa
