All Chapters of Outfoxed By The Fox: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

I drop my drink and watch it splash on the surface of the desk. No, no, this can’t be happening! Why would Maverick contact this private investigation company? Why would he reach out after burning us to ground?I’m not freaking out. I’m cool as fucking cucumber. I watch as Maggie quickly comes over to mop up the mess with a wad of napkins like it is that easy and simple. Everything keeping me together is falling apart and I can’t stop it.“Are you okay?” she whispers.My eyes drift to Darius and his eyes are narrowed in suspicion. He knows. He knows that something is up. I want to pretend that this doesn’t affect me. I want to pretend that his name isn’t causing me having a mental breakdown. Even though it is. It totally is.I mean to tell Maggie that I’m fine… that everything is fine. But the moment I look up at her, I shake my head while I get up to rush to the bathroom in the corner of our office. I end up throwing up my breakfast in the toilet. * * *“So it’s him, huh?” D

“So, let me get this straight.”I pause, flipping through the gruesome pictures on the tablet Maverick handed over to me during this limo drive back to hell. I hesitate, stopping on the picture of Loraeli Donahue nicknamed the black widow. Dark waves of hair cascades over her shoulders.

He shakes his head in frustration. “He’s being forced to. Idris promised to claim Catherine in exchange for not having Loralei exiled.”“And now Catherine has been poisoned and attacked,”

Kill me. Kill me now. But the fury that rages in Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan-Holland's eyes are well worth the pathetic drivel that I vomited up. It's worth it when Misty is the only one out of the three that jumps up and down giddy with excitement when her parents are trying desperately not to show any emotions. But I know the truth so does Maverick. It fucking kills them. "It was nice bumping into you," Maverick says casually like we didn't just agree to kill each other. "We've got a lot of catching up to do. You know how it is with being newly reconnected and all." I blush at the implication, but I gently slap his chest and force out a giggle. With that, he steers me away from the fuming couple and their giddy daughter. It doesn't take us long to get on an elevator. The moment those doors close, I shove him away from me. "Are you insane?" I cry out in disbelief. "Might be." The devious little shit then has the audacity to smirk at me. I shake my head while glaring at the werewolf
