Chapter 10

Maverick's POV

“Huh?” I repeated. “What's wrong?”

I closed the file I was holding, and I was planning to stand up to meet Blue. She looked tired and angry, but I couldn't place what it all had to do with me. I hadn't even crossed my boundary, I was on the couch.

“Don't make me repeat myself. Leave now!” Blue growled at me, and the red in her eyes showed up. Just when I had thought that we were finally having a connection of some sort, she does this?

“Are you sure I've done nothing wrong?” I asked, packing my bag.

“Just get the fuck out!” She shouted at me, and I almost shook.

“Okay.” I responded, putting all the files in my bag.

I was on my way out when I stopped close to her.

“Whatever is wrong, you'll get over it.” I said, making a move to touch her shoulder. “It'll be fine.”

“The next time you touch me with your filthy ass hand, I'll break it, and you really shouldn't dare me.” Blue said, looking at me.

I had never felt so less, so reduced. How could she have just switched from cool to evil and angry, just in the space of a few hours? I hurriedly walked out of the room before she'd decide to actually show how angry she was.

On my way downstairs, I met with Kylie.

“Do you know what's wrong with her?” I asked him, looking in the direction of the room.

“We had a crazy setback, and it's taking a huge toll on her most likely.”

“Is she always like that when she's angry?”

“Worse sometimes.” Kylie shrugged.

Jeff drove me back to the college, and I made my way back to my room. Unexpectedly, Chloe and Liam were in the room at the time.

“Hi guys.” I muttered, walking straight to my bed. I collapsed on to it. I still love it, although it's not half as comfortable as the couch in Blue's room.

I could feel people hovering over me, so I turned and gently opened my eyes, still groaning from being tired, and having no sleep.

“How did you not think to tell us that Blue Ashton, the fucking Blue Ashton is the aunt that just discovered you?” Chloe snapped at me with her hands folded.

“Is she that much of a big deal?” I asked, never really much of a social person.

“She is the biggest deal boy!” Chloe rolled her eyes at me.

“Bro, you know I ain't even mad at you for any of that shit,” Liam said, sounding like he was about to pitch an idea, “I just wanna know if she's single or some stuff, maybe you could hook us up.”

I snorted, and Chloe had a full laugh about his words.

“Bro, you don't want to get involved, trust me.” I shook my head. “And I'd advise that we just remain chill. I'm still trying to get the hang of this thing.”

“I hate it so much that our nerdy friend was the one that got the hot aunt.” Liam said, and I shot him a death stare. “Sorry bro.” He apologised.

“Anyways, see you guys later. I've got a date with Damian.” Chloe said, packing her bags.

I immediately sprung up, unwilling to see her leave.

“I've got a favour to ask of you, Chloe.” I muttered, looking at her.

“Spill it.”

“You're a law student, and I need to know every single thing about the law. Don't ask me why, but I really do need to know.” I said. “It would save a life for real.”

“Okay? That's weird, but okay.” She shrugged. “I just want one of Blue Ashton's signed T-shirts , and we have a deal.”

“We have a deal.” I said.

“If things do not go as planned tonight, I'll show up, and I'll give you whatever you need.”

What if I say she's all I need? My intrusive thoughts almost won, but I kept quiet.

Chloe walked out of the room, and immediately the door shut, Liam turned to look at me.

“When will you tell this girl you're so damn in love with her?”

“Because it's in the past, and she now has a boyfriend .” I shrugged.

“Yeah, an asshole boyfriend, and it's not in the past.” Liam chuckled. “I've seen the way you look at her.”

“Forget about all that, I've got crazy ass real life issues.” I sighed, bringing out the files from my bag.

I was going through everything one after the other, taking notes as I was going through them. Liam was too engrossed in what he was watching to even disturb me.

The case files contained everything from Billy Campbell, to his dead mate, Sasha Campbell, to the selection process of the next General.

The wolf world is quite a whole lot to handle, and I'm taking this way calmer than I ever thought I would.

“The only thing I can see here about Sasha is that her death was also an assassination. Nothing deep about there.” I whispered to myself. “Could it be that the same person killed both husband and wife?”

I had seen enough of Billy's murder that I had apparently commited. I put a call through to Kylie, and he picked up almost the second I called him.

“Alpha consort?” He muttered, and I sighed. I wasn't getting used to the title yet.

“I need something from you, but first, how is Blue?” I asked calmly.

“She's fine.” Kylie responded.

“Alright.” I said. “So, can I get any case files on the death of Sasha Campbell ? Billy's mate? All I'm seeing her is that she was assassinated, and her killer was never found.”

“Do you think there's a link between the two deaths?” Kylie asked.

“I can't be totally sure until I see it.” I responded, hoping he'd leave the long talk and just give me what I need to get this all over with.

“Okay then, I'll get it to you by morning. It's late this night already.” Kylie said.

“Thank you so much. I owe you one.” I said, feeling a little relieved.

“You're my Alpha consort, you owe me absolutely nothing.” He said, ending the call immediately.

I looked outside only to see that it was dark already. Liam had already gotten dressed for a party, and he still hadn't disturbed me, which was very unusual. I packed up the case file, watched Liam bid me goodbye for his night party, and then I was all alone in the huge room.

My mind became a very complex maze of several thoughts. My head was moving from Chloe to the murder pinned on me, to Blue. But it was mainly on Blue and the murder.

I was about to get myself a cup of water when Chloe opened the door. I watched her walk in, crying and whimpering.

“Hey hey hey, what's going on?” She ran to hug me as I asked. Her tears then got louder.

I'm so going to fuck Damian up.
