Dear Mate, You’re Mine! Chapter 104
Astra's POVWe locked eyes. A silent understanding passed between us.Jerome said it first. “It came from someone inside.”My stomach twisted, but my face remained cold.Whose safehouse was it? That was something we should actually investigate. Why would a lump of cash be delivered to a safehouse just like that?Everything was suspicious and just like everyone is a suspect, everything was a suspect too and so I was definitely going to raid that safehouse. I'd rather be wrong and find nothing than to write it off and regret it big time.“We go to the safehouse,” I said. “Tonight.”"The safehouse?" Jerome asked, "What for? To discover the money?"I pursed my lips and nodded, "No. to find more clues if there are any.""And if there aren't? Wasted trip?"I turned my lips, revealing a trace of fierce expression, "And what if we don't go? And find out we could have done that sooner?" My eyes glared at Jerome, hating that he wanted to make this difficult at this stage.Heck, I was ready to d
Dear Mate, You’re Mine! Chapter 103
Astra's POVBeyond... the palace was transformed quietly, very quietly.Underground corridors were sealed. Blind spots on patrol routes were reinforced. Assassins hidden in the crowd were tracked with baited decoys. Trusted guards rotated in triple shifts.We went even further, surveillance Phoenix birds were released to circle the skies above the capital. They appeared like regular phoenix, sometimes even regular falcons but they were much more.We were careful though, careful to not release them often, sending suspicion to the other side.Every floor was wired. Every sound filtered through on my command. Every envoy the same.And still, no word from Mary.We'd gone through almost all the possible hideouts, about twenty possible hideouts, and she was not in eighteen of them.My composure didn't crack, but Jerome could see the toll in my eyes. The pain, the silence between our plans.It's been five days, five days since her kidnap, five days since the bomb incident. The shattered wall
Dear Mate, You’re Mine! Chapter 102
Astra's POV“Let’s review all entry points– especially the old ones. I want our map tripled. If they got her out through a blind spot, we find it.”"The web you were working on too. It might just be useful. Who would take her out? Who was most likely to orchestrate the movement? Where could they possibly take her to? Lots of questions and we will find the answer to each."But before he could respond–Boom.The explosion rocked the west side of the palace.I paused, my eyes widened and instantly, Jerome and I tore through the office and out towards the sound but as we made it outside we saw flames erupted in the distance.Shouts rang. Smoke poured into the corridor. Guards screamed orders.“Move!” I barked, already racing for the balcony that overlooked the west wing. Jerome followed, eyes wide with disbelief.The aftermath-- It looked like scorched ground, a shattered side wall, and two guards on the ground unmoving. Another was being pulled from the rubble, bleeding all over.My fist
Dear Mate, You’re Mine! Chapter Hundred and One
Astra's POVMy fist clenched, my chest rose and fail with sharp breaths. My blood boiled beneath my skin, rage swirled inside me like an inferno threatening to spill from the surface. I couldn't get over this– to get over the fact that Mary, my loyal servant was gone.Kidnapped. Right under my nose.I wasn't sure what was hurt the most, my heart or my ego. Mary was family, the kind you looked out for but even more so she was my staff, she was a servant of this palace and yet right under my nose as queen, she was Kidnapped. That was an insult to me and to my warriors.And so as soon as the warriors and guards assembled, I didn't hesitate to lash at them. After my ego, it was thiers on the line and maybe they needed a wake up call to realize it."You stand there, on this ground, in this palace and one of you. A member of this house was snatched right under your nose." My voice was cold and loud, sending shivers down their spine. "On your scouts honor, you promised to protect this palace
Dear Mate, You’re Mine! Chapter Hundred
Astra's POVBoth heads turned sharply to the door-- mine and Jerome's. My hand was already at my side where my dagger usually lay and I was on my feet in one breath."Who is it?" I called out."It's Mark!" The voice was frantic and breathless. "My Queen, Her grace-- It's Mary! They've taken her!"My blood ran ice-cold. The ground seemed to tilt, my body trembled."What?" I whispered, already crossing the chamber."Jerome had thrown the door open. Mark stood there, hair tousled, eyes wild and face drenched in sweat."Shes gone," He gasped, "Gone. I returned from farmers market and she wasn't in the kitchen or our chamber. I searched-- I searched everywhere. I did not see her then there was blood-- just a little," He gasped for air for three seconds and continued, "I tracked her by the scent trail but it ends near the supply corridor."Supply corridor?My eyes and that of Jerome's hit together. "They took her," My voice was barely a whisper, "They took her."The next few seconds felt li
Dear Mate, You’re Mine! Chapter Ninety Nine
Astra's POVWe sat in silence across from each other at the table, my cup of coffee sat in front of me while Jerome's cup of black espresso and whatever else that was, sat just beside him.You'd think after being poisoned that I would stay away from the coffee but here I was.Tension hung heavily between us, it was almost as heavy as the curtains of this private chamber that made the room appear dark if it wasn't drawn. Luckily today it was drawn so the sun was having it's fun.I leaned forward, my eyes catching the rough sketch of the names and circles forming a web that Jerome had drawn and laid out. I could tell what it was, my fists clenched and I leaned back."She said she heard the spoon clink twice before the coffee was done brewing." I murmured, my voice was low but cold, "Twice, Jerome. But she didn't think anything was wrong even though she hadn't heard it before, it didn't occur to her that anything could be wrong with such small change."Two clinks was an inner house joke.
