All Chapters of Her Lycan Mate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

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 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“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 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

Chase’s POV“Could this day get any more bizarre?” Ron muttered behind me and took a step towards Orion. Immediately she jerked her aim to his chest making him her new target.“Do not come any closer.” She commanded ferociously, like a cornered animal. The steeliness in her voice made me study her more closely. The creature before me wasn’t the scrawny woman that had answered the door earlier. This was Orion.Orion had a blonde buzzcut and hard features set in a frown. Her strong shoulders held the crossbow with ease and her stance was better than that of some great warriors had seen.The woman from earlier was a fidgeting actress but this woman aiming at us was a smith who knew very well how to wield the weapons which she created.But then—I watched for a microsecond as her calloused hand trembled before clasping the crossbow tighter.“We aren’t here to hurt you.” I said as gently as I could manage given the situation.At this, she snorted and returned her aim to my chest. “Coming f
