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

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

Chase’s POV“Chase. Fucking. Grey!”I drew back and glanced at the phone in my palm. Did the Beta of Winclaw just swear at me?“Did you just—”No, it wasn’t her. The door to my office swung open and the actual culprit stormed in like an angel of vengeance with a scowl marring her face.I studied the fuming Genevieve and sighed. Whatever this was about, there was no getting out of it.“Alpha Chase, are you still there? The new date for the survey will be conveyed to your Delta.”“Duly noted, thank you. My regards to Dexter.”I ended the business call without fuss, all the while, Gen glared daggers into the side of my face.“So nice of you to visit, Genevieve. To what do I owe this pleasure? And why do you look like you are contemplating the best way to shove that paperweight up my ass.”“I’m no longer contemplating it, I’ve already found the best way.” She snapped.“A lovely day to be an Alpha.” I muttered, knowing that she would hear me.Between dealing with the work that came from ru

Chase's POV“Shouldn’t the letter have come sealed?” Gen asked, glancing incredulously at the glaringly obvious broken seal.Ron shrugged while I smirked.“I took the liberty of reading it for him.”“Like he always does.” I added. This was another insufferable bad habit of Ron’s beside the maddening pacing. I was used to it and didn’t mind but Gen gave him a nasty side-eye that had me chuckling despite the serious situation.Ron rolled his eyes. “I’m saving him from reading spam. Do you want the news or not?”“Bad news first.” I said massaging my temple. I had not signed up for this this morning.“Bad news is in the letter.” He grinned. “Go ahead and read it.”Shaking my head at his theatrics which was undoubtedly a result of spending too much time with Henry, I slid out the letter and scanned the jargon it contained.“This is a joke.” I scoffed. I couldn’t even get angry because of how outrageous the request was. Maybe I should have been livid but I had already made up my mind from t

Chase's POV“What is it?” I asked at last.Ron had been casting not-so-discreet side glances my way since we left Gen at the office.“Are you really not going to attend the party.”“Is there any real reason why I should?” Annoyance radiated from my tone.“Well, it's tradition.”“To hell with fucking traditions!” I spat out with venom. “I was ready to keep those bloody traditions until that psychotic bastard had his spy shot in broad daylight and then announced the stupidest reason he could think of to have the blasted party postponed. What I am not going to do is waltz into Lunagrove with Maya and act all civil with that monster after what happened to Theo. If I can help it, she won’t ever be in the same room with that bastard. So to answer your question, yes, I'm really not going to attend that funeral disguised as a party.”Ron blinked at my spiel in shock.“No party, then.”I huffed in frustration. Whatever. There was no use getting worked up, I had other things to focus on for now
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 87
Chase’s POVThe woman glowered at me much to my amusement.“Do not call me that.”Humans never seemed to like that term. You would think that I had insulted her instead of simply addressing her as what she was.“Would you tell me your name then?” I drawled.“What. Do. You. Want?” She bit out through gritted teeth, ignoring my request for her name.No cutting corners then.“Do you live alone?”My direct question took her by surprise. I watched as she struggled to keep her composure. Her gaze fleeted from me to Ron and when she caught my eyes straying above her head to the interior of the house, her grip on the door tightened.“That's none of your business.” She snarled and moved to slam the door shut but Ron caught hold of the knob on our side, successfully halting her attempt.I hadn't expected her to answer my question but it did help me to gauge her reaction. My gut told me she lived alone. It would explain why she was so furtive but she was also hiding something.Could she know Ori
