Chapter 14

Maverick's POV

I pulled her closer to myself, feeling my body twitch in ways I had never experienced before. My hand moved from her waist to the back of her neck, going with the flow as she pulled my tongue into her mouth with hers, and rolled it over hers.

The soft gasps and moans in between the kisses made my head spin.

I was already feeling myself journey when there was a knock on the door. We gently pulled away. She was just about an inch away from me, and my hands weren't on her anymore.

“Alpha?” The person on the other end of the door said.

“I'm coming.” Blue responded, maintaining eye contact with me. I was speechless, and that was the best kiss of my life, though I've barely had any.

“Blue…” I whispered like a plea.

“I'll send the flash drive, and I'll see you by evening?” Blue asked, holding one of my hands. My eyes travelled from her perfect face to her hand, and I looked at my hand and her hand, and a smile appeared on my face.

“I'll see you by evening.” I said, and she gave a quick nod, leaning in again, and we kissed.

I watched her walk out of the room, and I couldn't escort her out because I had a boner. Only a very few events have given me a boner, like the one time I saw Chloe's left boob while we were switching hoodies. The little mole on top of it still ruins my mind every single time.

I smiled, lifting my hand to touch my lips gently. I licked it again a few times to taste her on me again, but I do hope that all of these leads somewhere good, because my heart was thumping really fast and hard for someone I should be scared of.

It took a while for me to calm down, but immediately I was calm, I started going through Sasha's file. If there's indeed a connection between the two murders, then, this might actually be easy. But is digging out a murder that happened two months back really going to be easy?

“What do we have here?” I muttered to myself, flipping through the pages of the file. I wasn't sure how much time I spent on it, but I was pretty much absorbed into the file.

She was stabbed thrice in the neck, and her heart was pulled out.

“The killer cut out the flow of magic.” I muttered to myself, looking at the pictures of the dead body. Oh yeah, I'm now talking about magic.

The past week had changed my perspective on magic, and literally everything about the world.

I saw a few contradicting and confusing things, that only Blue might be able to get me through.

I was still on it, for almost two hours when Liam walked in.

I did not hide the file because I had already found the perfect lie to get his thoughts on what was going on.

“How was the test?” I asked as he crashed on his bed.

“Bruh, that was the craziest test I've written. He growled. “Bro didn't ease up on calculus. What does that thing really do for me?” Liam complained, and I chuckled.

“Why are there dead bodies on your legs?” He asked, and I chuckled.

“So, Blue gave me this assignment to find out something for her, but it's a fictional assignment, and if I get it right, she'd give me a very huge amount of money.” I said, and Liam's face lit up immediately.

“Can I get in on it?” Liam asked.

“Bro, I can't get…”

“Please, you know how much I need money.” Liam begged.

“But you have to promise not to tell a soul, not even Chloe.”

“Done.”

I showed him a part of the files, just to see what he would say on the surface level of this whole situation.

“All I can see here is a woman battered by a beast of some sort. Too many wounds, and blood. There's a gun by the side, and she also has dark circles under her eyes.” He said, and my brows furrowed into a frown.

“Dark circles?” I asked, and he gave a quick nod, passing the picture to me.

There were indeed dark circles. Do wolves ever have dark circles? They're literally the prettiest of everything in the world.

“What else can you see here?” I asked, passing it back to him.

“Bite marks on her hands, and there are also hickeys.” He pointed out, and I took the picture. The hickeys got really bloodied as she died, and I just thought it was a random cluster of blood.

“Now, I think I might be heading somewhere with this.” I said, getting new insight on this problem.

“Okay bro, whatever. Just give me money when you can.” Liam said, and I chuckled.

“I have to head out for a class, but you can take two clothes in my closet from the ones I haven't worn, and don't take more than two.” I said, and Liam was all smiles.

“You're bigger and taller than me though.” Liam hissed.

“I got your size, and forgot to hand it over.” I said, and he smiled.

“You're my bro!!” He chuckled.

I had my bath and left for my class. The flash drive Blue promised to send came while I was in class. I calmly checked it out, but I wasn't seeing any proof yet. It was pretty well doctored. Whoever had done this must have taken his time in getting this done.

I could barely concentrate on my classes because of the video, and Sasha's death. When I was done in the evening, Blue already had a car waiting for me.

Kylie had come to pick me up, and I was checking the video whilst still in the car.

“So, how is this whole thing treating you?” Kylie asked, distracting me from the video I was watching.

“Erm… pretty harsh, but I guess I can handle it.” I shrugged.

“You're the calmest person I've met that's fighting a murder charge.” Kylie chuckled. “It's already hard enough to know about the wolf world, but to be accused of murder just days later?”

I took a deep breath, looking outside the window.

“I believe this whole thing would be over soon, and I'd get free from this.” I said calmly, and Kylie smiled calmly.

It was obvious that he did not believe me one bit. I'm not sure if I believe myself also.

I played the video for the umpteenth time, and was about to give up. I closed the laptop, and alighted the car.

I had barely landed on the floor when Ashley, Blue's friend appeared right in front of me.

I was shocked, so I sprung back, but she was standing before me again.

“Pretty boy, let's have a conversation?”
