I laughed as Chase swept me off my feet in a bear hug and gave me a kiss that turned me into a puddle. “Also,” I continued, drawing away so that I could see his face. “I want to help you find solid evidence on Kylan or whoever the true killer is.” Chase’s hands dropped away from my sides. “Not, absolutely not.” He said, shaking his head vehemently. “Chase—” I started to protest but he cut me off before I could tell him he was being a disagreeable ass. “Maya, I love the fact that you are staying, I’m absolutely over the moon but, and that is a huge but, I cannot let you put yourself in danger by involving yourself in this.” “I’m already involved in this!” I explained. “Me being here is an involvement on its own. And Kylan probably feels that way too.” His forehead creased in confusion. “What do you mean?” I shrugged. I had just spoken randomly in my bid to convince him but now that I thought of it, it seemed possible. “Kylan probably already knows that you’re on to him and if m

“I can’t do it.” I said, dread forming a ball in my stomach.“You aren’t doing anything, just smile and say hello. You've been here too long without an introduction to everyone and they're starting to feel unsettled. Chase might not tell you but they whisper and a few that have been to Lunagrove recently have directly gone up to Chase to ask why we're harbouring a fugitive.” Henry said, only pausing to suck on his lollipop while I gave up on reading the novel that he had stolen from Ron’s library for me.“Hey, I’m not a fugitive.” I cried, smacking his arm.“I know you aren’t but you have your face on posters all over your old pack so it looks pretty bad to everyone else.”I groaned and threw the book aside, dropping my head into my sweaty palms with a long-suffering sigh.“Maya, no one is going to eat you.” Henry laughed“That’s what you think. Okay, sure, whatever. I don’t have a choice anyway.” I went to my room to get ready for dinner where I was finally about to be officially in

“No.” I announced theatrically, pushing Chase away with a grunt.“No?” His brows rose in question and he gave me a slow once over that turned my knees to jelly then repeated his question like he knew I was pretending not to want this as much as he did. I guess he did know, my arousal along with his had filled the room with a heady scent that made me hotter.“No?”“No.” I said with finality. “I don’t want to go to dinner with your scent all over me.”“Why not? I’m about to tell everyone that we are mates. I will be very satisfied with having your scent on me so that they all know I’m yours.”The sensual way Chase said ‘satisfied’ made me shiver with awareness and the rest of his words melted my heart but I put it back together and stood my ground.“No amount of sweetness will work on me, babe, let’s go downstairs.” I said, sauntering past him on my way to the door. He let out a muttered curse and followed me with a resigned sigh.At dinner, Chase sat at the head of the table and I sat

I could hear how loud my pulse was as I spun to face the vile male, my skin crawling at the sight of his left eye that darted restlessly without focus.“What did you just say?” I asked softly, refusing to believe that this unnerving bounty hunter had just made mention of my dad.He shifted his stance, balancing a duffle bag that I had not noticed before on his shoulders.“Heh, you don’t like that, do you? Me bringing up your father.” He snorted, laughing strangely at something only he knew about.I was starting to get annoyed. I scanned him again, taking note of details that I had missed before and something new struck me.It was fake. The animal skin he wore as a cloak was a fake, I could not pick up any scent from it.My nose flared and my eyes narrowed into slits, I could hardly pick up his own scent either, it was almost like he had somehow masked it.How...?“Who are you?” I gritted out, hoping that Chase would return. Others hardly ventured into the garden by this time and that

“Maya?”I barely registered the third time Henry called my name. As much as I thought the creep was deluded, I could not shake off the sense of foreboding that shrouded my consciousness. Why on Selene’s green earth would a random stranger go through the pain of sneaking into the well-guarded house to lie to my face?He was definitely deluded but still...“Henry?” By now, the astute Delta had lost interest in gaining my attention but instead circled me slowly with his nose flared.“What’s that?” He asked.He stopped circling and stood at the exact spot in front of me that the bounty hunter had been in minutes ago, sniffing the air with his brows creased in concentration.I knew he was trying to place the male’s scent but it was of no use. I had tried but it smelt like something and nothing at the same time, discerning it was impossible. I was surprised Henry could even pick up the faint scent, I had been with the male and had hardly perceived a thing.“What’s what?” I asked back innoce

“You met a bounty hunter and you said nothing?” Chase thundered furiously “Do you have any idea how dangerous they are?!”I did know, for a matter of fact.“He was—” I started but Chase cut me off and turned to Henry.“Can you trace him? He couldn’t have gotten far.”Henry’s reply was grim, “He doesn’t have a scent.”Chase’s frown deepened.“How is that possible?”“He had a scent,” I said softly, averting my eyes from Henry’s inquisitive ones and trying not to be bothered by my mate’s detached silence. “It was mixed up and wrong like Henry said but it was definitely there. I think he masked it with something, maybe extracts from different plants. Probably dracaena, marjoram...”I trailed off and shrank away from their weighty stare.“Never mind.” I said sheepishly.Chase let out a longsuffering sigh.“Hen, I suspect that this hunter was responsible for the commotion that Ron called me out for. A distraction. There was no way he could have taken Maya without getting caught but I want t

“Maya?”I was awoken the next morning by a knock on my door followed by Chase's voice calling my name with undertones of worry. The bright sun rays streaming in through the windows gave me a pause.What time was it?Frowning, I walked in a daze to the door and let Chase in. I was a groggy mess because when I had finally given in to the resilient arms of sleep, it had been pitifully fitful but I guess I should be grateful that it was without any nightmares.Still, I was mentally exhausted.I turned to go back to bed but paused when extra sets of footsteps did not follow mine. Looking back, I spotted Chase standing rigidly by the door, his eyes fixed on a point above my head.“What are you doing?”“We need to talk, I told you so last night.”No sleep then.“Mhmm, so why are you trying to become a statue by my door?” I asked, my head cocked to the side.“Darling, are you serious right now? I can't focus like this.” He said, rubbing his face with one hand.Okay, I was officially confused.

The text jarred me to a halt and a chill ran down my spine as I reread it. It was him, I knew it was him.How did he have my number?Chase studied me apprehensively. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing.” I lied, shoving my phone into my pocket and giving him a bright smile.Everything was wrong and my lies were building up.“Darling,” His brows lowered with worry. “you’re trembling.”“It’s nothing. I just got a text from my stepmother filled with her typical empty threats and it made me pause.” I shrugged casually. “She wants me to come home but we both know that is not happening.”At the mention of my stepmother, Chase’s mood shifted suddenly; his eyes turned brooding.“I’ve heard a few things about that family of yours.” He scowled. “They should pray I never meet them.”I sighed. “I too pray you never have to, they are horrible.”He brushed back the strands of my hair that had escaped my ponytail and tucked them behind my ear then gave me a crooked, comforting smile.“Forget them, let’s go put
