The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 24 - The Rot
Damon’s POV The room was very cold, the rain didn’t help either, even with the heater rattling in the corner. The heater was all bark and no bite… I didn’t sit, I just leaned against the wall, with my arms crossed. My eyes were locked on the illegal alchemist seated before me, trembling. Keaton. I had imagined him differently, in all my imaginations. He wasn’t this ink stained fingered, twitchy, fidgety man with nervous eyes. He looked guilty of something, but I wasn’t even sure what. There was the smell of burnt paper, metal and blood all over him, a smell of magic. Marius paced behind Keaton, he was silent but his silence was even more imposing than if he was speaking. “Start from the beginning,” I said, voice calm. “How did they approach you?”Keaton swallowed. “I… this will sound ridiculous. They started staying around the area, I had no idea if they lived here. Over a couple of weeks and even months, we met at the same places and did the same things.” He looked to both of
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 23- Giving Back
Mara’s POV The morning air was cold, everywhere was still damp from the drizzle overnight. I pulled my coat tighter around my body as I walked on the road towards the bus station. I know my shift didn’t start for another hour, but I left early regardless. It was partly to clear my head and also to avoid being around Aiden longer than was necessary. The silence on my way to the bus station allowed my thoughts time to stretch. My thoughts that somehow unconsciously wandered back to Damon. Yesterday, I found out the truth that had already tugged at the back of my mind like a thread that just wouldn’t cut. He has been the one to make the deposit in my account. It was him, just as I had suspected. Now all the questions I couldn’t ask last night started coming up. Why did he send me that kind of an amount of money? Yes I know he had said that he thought I could use the money and the help but that was a lot at once. He had never brought it up before, not once. He didn’t even acknow
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 22 - A Tired Kind of Woman
Mara’s POV I woke up on the absolute worst part of the bed, In fact I didn’t feel like doing anything. I hadn’t taken a single day off work in years, and today I felt like all the pain, stress and anxiety had merged into a giant monster and was now seated comfortably on my chest. I had felt like this a number of times before but I hadn’t let it stop me. I would push forward with the pain and still get to it, my motto was just another day. Today, I think I was going to take my time and do something else. I’d call in sick at every of my jobs and take my time out, probably go somewhere calm and cool. Somewhere memorable for me.Then I remembered, yesterday I hadn’t gone to the safe house because Damon had asked me not to. But he would probably expect me to come in today. I guess I was going to have to skip that too. I picked up my phone and made the call. He picked on the second ring. The lie tasted like sand in my mouth, but I said it anyway. “Hello, I’m not feeling so good today
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 21 - This Dust won't Settle
Mara’s POV The rest of the dinner went smoothly, even though I was boiling on the inside. I was waiting for the right moment to pop the right question that would help me see what I needed to see. Aiden talked about the new inventory at the office and how being a Beta was not what it used to be in terms of pay. I wouldn’t know, I had been asked to leave the military, but I sure as hell know that I haven’t seen any working Beta’s picking up extra jobs like I had to so it couldn’t be all that bad. The fucker thought if he put these kinds of thoughts in my head then it would make sense to me that he couldn’t contribute and this money from his so called side gig and calls for Favors was such a big deal and I should worship the ground he walks on. His voice was beginning to drown in my head like background noise while something inside me just wouldn’t calm the fuck down. I was so angry but I had to not let it show. A part of me wondered if it was just the aching wound of disappointmen
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 20 - Cost of Love
Mara’s POVThere was no meeting with Damon today because he had told me yesterday that they had some business to attend to. They being He and Marius. Then this morning, I received the email notification from the bank. He had not called me via the mind link or anything. I usually didn’t reach out first out of respect and also because Kira was always saying wild stuff and I didn’t want him to look at me like some sex starved cougar. And I still didn’t know how much access he had into my mind with the mind link. The city lights were blurry as I looked outside through the scratched up glass windows of the bus, the lights flickered like stars in the late evening foggy weather. I sat in the third row from the back of the bus, leaning my head against the cold glass, as I watched the city’s storefronts and sidewalks slip past in my silence. My body ached, a tight feeling of exhaustion wrapped around my spine, it was sharp and unforgiving, a signature feeling that was now a part of my exi
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 19 - Inner Earthquake
Mara’s POV It was just past dawn right when I heard a beep on my phone. I was about to ignore it and focus on packing my handbag for the day’s work. I had one morning shift that required me to be very early. I was also nursing a full ache in my knees from the sparring sessions I had been having with Damon. The phone buzzed twice on the bedside drawer. So I reached for it, to check what it was, maybe it was some memo from one of the places I worked at and it was better to get any sliver of information before actually stepping out. Transfer Confirmed: 72,000 Moon credits. Payment received. Current balance: •• 80,000 Moon Credits.The bank’s logo shined bright at the top of the notification. Below it, there was still pending debts and ominous late fees flashing in red. It was only a matter of days before they would all grab onto all the money in the account again. I stared at the numbers again, 72 thousand moon credits. How did that happen? Was it a glitch? I couldn’t breathe nor ev
