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
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 62: Meeting with Knight’s father Alpha
The apartment was filled with the sounds of rapid gunfire and shouting coming from the TV in the living room. Video games weren’t really Sue’s thing. She hadn’t grown up with a sibling nor had friends who liked video games so she had never really given them a chance. They were, however, at the top of Joey’s favorite things. Video games and pizza.“Hey sis, you gotta get to cover,” Joey told her far too calmly.“I’m trying to get to cover,” Sue shouted at him. “The buttons aren’t doing as they’re told.”Joey snorted at her which just made Sue angrier.“Who the hell is this guy?” Suw demanded as she was killed by a member of the opposing team. They were playing online against some complete strangers and some little punk calling himself IDidYourMom seemed to have it out for Sue because the guy kept shooting her and killing her. “What is his problem?”Beside him, Joey snickered. Being a veteran of the game, he was doi
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 63: Fall Pack Gathering Next Week
It was a relief when the weekend rolled around. It had been just over a week since they had buried his grandpa. Knight kept waiting for things to feel normal again, but he wasn’t sure it ever would.He had known that going off to London for a week would result in a backlog of work, and he was prepared for it. Heaping on top of that all that needed to be done for his grandpa’s businesses, and the pack members who wanted to have a sit down with him, Knight was starting to feel like he was drowning in paperwork.It was mostly the older members who wanted to make sure that Knight’s vision for the pack was the same as their last alpha. Honestly, Knight hadn’t even given it any thought. His grandpa had been a great alpha, Knight just hoped to be like him.In an ideal world, Knight would have spent his Saturday in bed with Sue, only venturing into his study after midday to make a dent in some of his work.However, his biological dad h
Her Boss, Her Mate Chapter 64: I'm going to rock your world.
Any place that was usually filled with people became creepy when it was empty. Sue had once dated a guy who was the deputy manager of a large appliance store. They had stopped in one night, long after closing, so that she could pick up some paperwork. The eeriness of the large and empty room had unnerved Sue.Sitting in the communal office by herself when it was nearing nine gave her that same feeling.“All it needs now is a couple of zombies to come walking slowly in,” Sue muttered to herself as she sat back in her chair and looked around the empty space. The main lights had been switched off leaving only the wall lights to illuminate the place.She looked at the clock on her phone and sighed. Enough was enough. If she had to drag Knight home kicking and screaming, then that was what she would have to do. Metaphorically, of course. She was well aware that trying to move a werewolf would be like trying to move a mountain to he
