Her Lycan Mate Chapter 46
Maya's POVBefore I could rethink my decision of standing there rather than hurrying to hide, Chase stormed into the living room, his imposing height shrunk down the room.Voices sounded behind him but I could not decipher anything beyond his dangerously darkened whiskey eyes. They scanned me from head to toe then met my eyes with ardent fury.“Are you hurt?”I arched a brow. “Do I look hurt?”He didn’t get to talk to me the way he had last night then barge in here like a caveman acting all concerned.“I felt your terror through our bond but I couldn’t reach to you—I still can’t. Why did you block me out of your mind?”I shook my head in disbelief and replied tersely, “If you want to pretend like you don't know, I'm sure as hell not going to humour you by answering that question.”I was close to yelling but refrained as we weren’t alone in the room.Five pairs of curious eyes stared at us without a word, Ron— who came with Chase— was the first to break the silence.“Chase, we left in
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 47
Maya's POVI was roused from sleep by strong hands lifting me from my awkward place on the chair and I opened my eyes to see Chase’s glorious profile.The dim light of the room was just enough for me to make out the tired lines that circled his eyes.“Hey.” He whispered when he saw that I was awake.“Hi.” I gave him a nervous smile, stifling a yawn as he lowered me onto the bed and drew the sheets over me.When he brushed a feather-light kiss on my forehead and turned to go, I sat up in panic.“You’re going?”He rubbed the back of his neck. “I didn’t think you would want me to stay.”That was the opposite of what I wanted and I said so.“Please stay.”So he did.My heart thundered as he effortlessly pulled off his shirt and slipped under the sheets. It was no big deal that his naked torso was just inches away from my back, but that thought did nothing to fade the warm flush on my cheeks.Our uneven breathing filled the tense silence, both of us having so much to say yet saying nothing
Her Lycan Mate Chapter 48
Maya's POV After we talked, a very reluctant Chase walked me over to Genny's. He had work to take care of and Faith had not so politely pestered me to come see the decorations of the dinner. The dinner was tonight, her dad would be coming back later today then everyone who was invited would join them for dinner by 7 pm. Henry, Ron and Case were invited along with other people I didn’t know but Genny had assured me that they were all close friends of the family so I didn’t have to be nervous. Did I know what I would wear yet? Nope. Was I currently hating myself for procrastinating the chore of finding a dress? Absolutely. The door swung open before I could raise my hand to knock, and Chase and I were greeted by a mass of red curls. “Maya!” Faith squealed. Her brows climbed in surprise when she spotted Chase behind me. “You want to see the decorations too, Alpha?” “You never invited me too, now did you?” He teased. “Is that Chase?” Genny's voice asked from inside. “Tell him to

Maya's POVI gasped when I saw the dress on my bed. I hadn't used this room in a while since I had been staying in Chase's but that was not a concern, my attention was on the stunning dress I now held to myself as I looked in the mirror.'I figured you would want to get ready for the evening in your old room since we still haven't moved your makeup and most of your shoes. So, I left it there instead.'I had gone shopping several times since that first time with Ron— with Chase's black card of course— and my closet was bursting with shoes and clothes.And now I have a beautiful new addition.'Do you like it?' His voice was unsure as he asked.'Chase I don't like it—''Oh. That's okay, I can have the boutique send you a few more to choose from.'His deflated tone made me giggle. He was just so sweet.'Babe, you didn’t let me finish. I was going to say that I don't like it, I love it! This is gorgeous.'His gift was a show-stopping silk dress that felt like water and looked like a dream.

I stared at our ride mouth agape and Chase chuckled.“Before you say anything about us driving there, you should know that I'm dead set on this. I want to be able to fully admire you in that dress before I share this beautiful view with anyone else and walking won’t let me do that freely without face-planting the sidewalk.”I laughed and rolled my eyes at his rant.“I understand that but it makes no sense that you would hire a limousine for such a short distance.”He gasped in mock outrage. “Hire? I'll have you know that this baby right here is mine.”I looked between him and the limo which's door he was now stroking like it was his baby and quirked a brow.“Should I be jealous?” I asked ignoring the fact that my mate just happened to have a whole ass limo sitting in his garage.“Oh, just get in smartass, we're going to be late.”Giving in, I said– “You should have thought of that before you started devouring my lips.”He had just helped me into the limo but at my words, he halted his

Chase's POV“Fucking hell.” I swore as I flipped through the file.“It's clean.” Henry said from across the room where he leaned against the far wall of my study.“Too fucking clean.” I gritted out and dumped the useless heap of paper back on my desk.I wasn't in the best mood. The information I had asked for on Sally Wallace— the late owner of the car that had left Greene's had finally come in early this morning from Hwan's cousin.I had reluctantly gotten out of Maya's arms without waking her and hauled my ass to my study where Henry and Ron waited for me.Now I wish I hadn't. There was nothing that could help here.Ron sighed and flipped through his copy. “All her movements were accounted for and no single person she interacted with prior to being hospitalized could be classed as suspicious or odd.”“Basically, she was the cleanest, most problematic woman before cancer did her in.” Henry flopped onto a chair, exhaustion written all over his features.“Yeah, or someone took great pai

Chase's POV“I have a bad feeling about this.” Ron said as we reached Hwan's door. The steel 13 beside it hung at an odd angle and I took that as a bad omen. “We should have stopped Louis and asked how he knew about the case.”I knocked on the door and waited. “Right now, there is no need for that. After this talk with Hwan, we'll know how many people he let lose this information. Asking Louis will only raise alarm.”“That's if the fact that we’re here so early doesn’t already sound warning bells to whoever the spy is. I wonder what Louis was doing here by this time.”I shrugged, still thinking over our encounter. “Beats me. Maybe they’re lovers.”Ron let out a loud snort and leaned against the wall but immediately straightened when the lock on the other side of the door clicked and the knob turned.The door opened to reveal a bedraggled Hwan who I had not seen since our little rescue stint in Lunagrove.His brows furrowed as he looked between Ron and me, when he spoke his voice was h

Chase's POV“A spy camera?!” Hwan sprang out of his chair to examine the deceptive pen. “Shit.” He cursed then with lightning speed, he disassembled the device.I caught Ron's eye and a look of understanding passed between us. The spy had planted it.“You’re skilled with spy cameras?” Ron asked, sparing a glance at the pieces in Hwan's balled-up fist.“Devices in general. This one model is easy enough to put together and take apart.” He dumped the pieces on the shelf, obviously worked up. “Why would anyone plant a spy cam here?“I have a few guesses.” I muttered.His face fell as realization dawned on him. “That's how they learnt about the case.” They heard it when I spoke with my cousin on the phone!”Ron gave him a grim nod.“This makes no sense. How did whoever this is know to put it in my place? Who would do such a thing?”“Again, I have a few guesses.” I sighed. I had hoped Ron and I's suspicions were wrong but now it didn't seem like it. Sometimes being right wasn’t all that gre
