Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 54: Knight was also kidnapped
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
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 55: Finally saved
“Don’t make a sound,” Sue said as she pushed the barrel of the gun against the small of Lee’s back as they walked slowly down the stairs.Frankie was the first to see them. Sue saw the man’s eyes widen in surprise before he looked over to his boss. What was surprising was that he didn’t say anything to alert Tray.It wasn’t long before Tray and the others saw them out of their peripherals and turned to look at them sharply.“What the hell, Lee?” Tray shouted angrily. “All you had to do was watch her.”“I don’t know what you had planned for Knight,” Sue said as they reached the bottom of the stairs. “But whatever it was, it’s not going to happen.”“Sue?” Knight asked. He was still on floor, clearly still out of it, but he lifted his head in the direction of Sue’s voice.“Is that so?” Tray asked as he pulled out a gun of his own and aimed it at Sue. “You’re assuming I care if you shoot Lee. The moron couldn’t even babysit a handcuffed runt like you. You’d be doing me a favor.”Sue slowl
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 56: Will you marry me?
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
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 57: Married to my mate
“I’m married to a werewolf,” Sue Andrew said to her reflection with a slightly giddy laugh. The champagne had made her feel nice and relaxed. She took her black-framed glasses off her face and cleaned the lenses with a tissue.Once her glasses were back on, she looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror and frowned. Her white simple dress had a little bit of frosting on the front from where Knight had insisted on feeding her a slice of wedding cake. For once, Sue couldn’t be blamed for being a mess. This was all Knight’s fault.She grabbed some more tissues and wet them before rubbing at the white, creamy glob.Well, she thought to herself. At least I looked good for the wedding. She smiled as she thought about the cake she had just cut with her new husband. It had been a pretty simple wedding cake, but the two little bride and groom set on top was something Sue was going to keep forever. She might even display them somewhere in the apartment.Deciding that her dress was as good
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 58: London
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
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 59: Grandpa is dead!
Sue had been dreaming about being trapped on a train with talking animals. It was somehow both terrifying and adorable all at once. She was woken up by the old-fashioned sounding ringer on Knight’s phone. She tried to ignore it and go back to sleep but she was also a nosy bastard, so when Knight answered it she couldn’t help but listen in. Outside the rain was patting gently on their window.“Mom, it’s three a.m. here,” Knight whispered into the phone. He was clearly trying not to wake Sue as he crept to the door. “What? No…that’s…when?”The tone of Knight’s ’ voice put Sue on alert. She had never heard her husband sound so distraught. Knight was quiet for a while, so Sue pushed herself up in bed and grabbed her glasses from the nightstand. Knight was standing in the open doorway with his hand gripping onto the wooden frame as though he thought he might fall down.“Knight?” Sue asked quietly as she slipped out of bed. She walked over to Knight and put her hand on the werewolf’s shou
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 60: Grandpa’s Funeral
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
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 61: Back to normal
The day after the funeral, Knight dragged himself into work. Sue had tried to talk him out of it, but he needed to do something. He couldn’t stand sitting around with everyone at his grandparent’s house. It was like they all thought they had to wallow in the misery to honor Lenard. It was bullshit, of course. The last thing Lenard West would ever want was for people to mope.“Are you sure about this?” Sue asked as they drove into the office. “We could do something else. We don’t have to stay at your grandma’s place, we could go anywhere. It’s Friday anyway, is it really worth going back to work for just one day?”He knew Sue was trying to help but the fact that she had just referred to the house as his grandma’s place, instead of grandparents’, was pissing him off.“Honestly? I just want to go to work,” Knight told her. “I’ve got stuff that needs doing and a lot of paperwork to read through before I meet with Grandpa’s lawyers later.”“Okay,” Sue said as she wrung her hands on her lap
