บททั้งหมดของ Her Boss, Her Mate: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Frankie had driven them pretty far out of the city. Sue only knew the area from times when she had driven through it on her way to somewhere else. It was a pretty run-down place that was filled with shabby apartments that used to be industrial buildings.Sue had been trying to give Frankie little bits of information about herself in her attempt to humanize herself to her captor, though as she had gone willingly, she wasn’t sure that captor was the right word. So far, all of her efforts to get Frankie to tell Sue anything about herself had failed.When they pulled off the road and into an abandoned parking lot that was surrounded by old buildings, Sue knew that she had to act quickly. On their drive, she had considered every possibility. All she had on her were her wits and her workbag. She had been slowly inching her hand inside the bag to grab the paper clip from her research. She wasn’t exactly sure what she was going to be able to do with it, but it was sharp and pointy, so that

The second Sue was left alone she fished the paper clip out of her pocket and straightened it out. On TV, they just kind of jammed the pointy end in the keyhole and wiggled it about. She gave it a try. In fact, she tried it for a good five minutes, but nothing happened.“Shit,” she swore.Okay, she thought to herself. New plan. They’re human, I’m human. I can take them.Even as she thought it, though, she knew she was lying to herself. She looked around the room for anything that might help her, but there was nothing. She couldn’t just stand around and wait to be rescued. If she was the bait, then Knight was clearly the catch they were after.After another five minutes, Lee, the guy who had let them in, came into the office and smirked at her.L“Probably like being tied up, don’t you?” he sneered as he got closer. “What sort of a human bends over for a filthy werewolf?”Sue was smart, or she at least liked to think she was. She knew that the man wanted to get a reaction out of her, to

Knight slept fitfully for a few hours, the unmistakable chemical scent of hospital clinging to the inside of his nostrils. He wanted to snort to try to get rid of it, but he knew it wouldn’t work. When he finally felt lucid enough to focus, he latched on to the scent of his mate. Sue was sitting in a chair by Knight’s bed, her hand a comforting weight in Knight’s.“Sue,” he said. His voice sounded rough and he felt a little sick.“Hey,” Sue said, getting up from her chair and sitting on the edge of the bed. “Nice nap?”“You got yourself kidnapped…again.” Knight said angrily. “We need to get you chipped.”Sue smiled down at him with love in her eyes. “Deal.”“Hi, sweetie,” his mom said from the other side of the room. Knight must have been pretty drugged up to not even notice that she was there.“Mom,” Knight said as he turned his head to look at her. “I’m okay.”Her eyes were a little red, indicating that she had been crying. She looked into his eyes and nodded before swooping down an

London was a beautifully diverse city with an incredible history. Their hotel was right in the heart of Westminster, just a stones through from the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Bridge. It was the day after their wedding and Sue, ideally, would have loved to have spent it in bed, but she had already promised Joey they would go sightseeing and do some shopping.If Sue was being honest with herself, sightseeing wasn’t really for her. In her opinion, looking at a picture of something was just as good as seeing the real thing, only better maybe because there was less walking involved.Still, Joey and Knight were enjoying themselves, so she kept her mouth shut and kept walking. She was lucky that she was with a werewolf and a teenager because whenever she wanted to take a break all she had to do was suggest they stop somewhere and get food.Unlike Jared and Sarah, theirs hadn’t been a long engagement. In fact, it had been just a couple of months ago, at Jared and Sarah’s w

The West house seemed even bigger without Lenard West in it. The large estate had been Knight’s home growing up. It still felt like his safe place. After Knight’s stepdad, though he had believed him to be his real dad at the time, beat up Knight when he tried to defend his mom, they had moved into the estate. Knight had been just a kid at the time.Knight and Sue spent a lot of time at the house, what with the weekly family dinners and quarterly pack gatherings. Knight’s grandpa was always the center of everything. The man had been a force of nature, a man who commanded respect without even trying. His shoes were far too big for Knight to fill.The funeral had been too long and too depressing. He needed to let Sue know that when he died, he wanted something different. He didn’t know what, but it certainly wasn’t that. A church full of people wearing black, crying as an old man stood at the front, saying a bunch of scripted words he’d said a thousand times before.As he walked around h
