Author's POV:

It was Jace who suggested it. Jackson stroked his jaw for a moment and shrugged, “We could go to the mansion. The fields are wide enough to star gaze.”

Mia considered it. “Okay.” She agreed. She wanted to ask where the mansion was but there would be no need for that. They probably had mansions scattered around Lycan Ville and neighboring towns. It was hard for Mia to come to terms with the fact that they were that rich.

“It's settled then. We have our first date with Mia at the mansion tomorrow evening. Is that fine?” Jaxon asked, glancing at her.

Mia nodded. “I'll need a bit of time to get off of work and freshen up.” She said.

“Or, we'll pick you up from work, and then you can freshen up at the mansion,” Jace suggested. “We already have a room prepared for you there.”

Mia's brow lifted. “What?”

“Jace,” Jackson growled out.

“What? She's going to find out about it sooner or later.” He shrugged.

“What is he talking about?” Mia asked. “Why do you already have a room for me

    Mia's POV:“Evidence gotten from illegal means is usually rejected by the court,” Cassian explained. “Unless we can prove otherwise…” he shrugged.“Chloe,” I let out. “What if Chloe submits it as evidence?”“Yes. That would work. She is directly connected to Armani so if she claims to have found everything at his hotel room when she was clearing his things, it would be accepted.” Cassian replied.“The question now is, how do we get the grieving girl to do that? We're asking her to show that the deceased boyfriend was at fault. I don't think it's fair.” Genevieve spoke up.I nodded. “She’ll do the right thing. No matter how hard it is.”“How are you so sure? She framed you, remember?” Jackson said.“I don't know. I have a hunch.” I said confidently. “I'm going to meet her.”***Chloe walked into the cafe.It was a private one not too far from the apartment buildings but far enough that she wouldn't be bothered or seen by the people there.When she walked in, the bell above the door din

    Mia's POV:It took me a few moments but I was able to push a bit of the guilt away. I returned to the living room where they remained, talking amongst themselves. When they saw me, they immediately went silent.“I'm fine,” I said, assuring them. “It’s just hard to believe that I had talked to him yesterday and now, he was dead. It's a little too unreal.”“The Franz. They're the ones that finished him off.” Jace said. “They killed him, not you.”Even though I didn't completely believe that I wasn't at fault, I nodded. “What now?”“I've sent a few people to the scene. They're going to sneak in and try not to tamper with any of the evidence and then, they're going to see if Armani hid anything that can be helpful to us.” Jaxon said.“We can only hope that the Franz hitman didn't take any of whatever it was that Armani might have found out,” Cassian added.I nodded. Thankfully, they'd already made a decision. This was going to be less of an issue for me. I just had to exist and not break

    Mia's POV:“Relax,” I said into the phone. “If you react badly, you can assure your girlfriend that I will be there to pay her a kind visit.”“Fck you,” he cussed.“That's better,” I replied. “Now, listen to the rest of your instructions.” When Jaxon was done relaying it to him, he said, “You have forty-eight hours to get us what we want.”“You can't be serious. Why would I want to do that when I framed her?” Armani asked. “You're telling me to turn everything around? It means I'll go to jail.”“You should have thought about that before you went around stepping on toes,” Jaxon replied with a deep growl.“Who the fck is she anyway? She just came around bugging my girlfriend. My boyfriend suggested that we frame her. I don't have anything against the woman. I swear.” Armani explained.I tried to decipher if he was lying. But the tone of his voice had a hint of fear. Armani didn't want to go to jail but would he also lie? If he was telling the truth, it meant that Chloe specifically want

    Mia's POV:“We'll need him to testify at the station. Recorded evidence. We'll have him redact his claim that Mia had killed Pedro.” Cassian explained.“It won't work,” I said. Regardless of the hope I wanted to feel, I knew that it wouldn't be that easy. “Armani won't give up his freedom that easily. The issue isn't with him anymore. It's with the Franz. We have to bring them down with him.”I didn't realize I was thinking like this. When I started, I didn't know. But, I couldn't stop now.‘You’re welcome,’ Cassey commented, letting out a gruff growl.‘This isn’t completely you.’ I retorted. ‘I’ve been studying the books that Jaxon tasked me to read.’“Mia is right,” Genevive said, her hand on her chin. She didn't fully know the plan so I was not sure how much of her opinion would count.“If you're going to take down that guy, you need to go for the one who sent him. The people backing him up. It's common knowledge. Do you want to take down minions? You take down their boss and every

    Mia's POV:Genevieve leaned forward just as Armani visibly froze. She squinted. “Who is that?” She asked.“Armani, Chloe's boyfriend.” Melanie supplied.Armani visibly froze. He stood there for a moment before hurrying. Melanie switched the camera just as Armani ran to the second locker. He quickly put the code and unlocked it.He took off his baseball hat and took a step back, still bewildered. Then, in a fit of anger, he kicked the locker.I winced, smiling. “That has to hurt,” I said.“What just happened?” Genevieve asked as Armani brought his phone to his ear.“Shh,” I said, lifting my hands to my lips. I pointed at the phone on the table. A few seconds later, it began to ring.I cleared my throat and picked it up. “Hello,” I said, trying to keep my voice very neutral. I hit record on the phone, putting it close to me.Melanie and Genevieve listened quietly.“Who the fck are you?” He swore angrily, pacing.I looked at the screen. “Someone who wants to pay you back for the nice gif

    Mia's POV;I cocked my head at him. “I thought you didn't like wolf blood,” I said.“Bold of you to assume I meant all of them,” Cassian replied. I realized that he was wearing casual clothes. It looked weird but not bad. I think I'd gotten used to him wearing suits and ties.“Cassian,” Jaxon said in warning. One word and it was enough for Cassian to back down. Even though it was just for a bit.“I’m not taking a bite from your girl. I'm just saying I would like to show her how I get all my blood.” Cassian said.“Just tell me how,” I said. Everyone was still seated and those that didn't know were curious about it.“Let's just say there are some humans that are very willing for me to feed on them. I make sure not to kill them and that they're well fed and rested to replenish.” He replied.“It sounds like you're breeding them,” Felicity said, slightly disgusted.“As you do with cows, chickens, and every other thing you eat,” Cassian replied.“But, this is different. These are humans.” I
