Chase's POV I hit send on the email Ron had insisted I wrote inquiring about Greene’s reason for backing out of our deal. There was no point in asking though because his reason was clear as day; he did not want me to get too close and have the opportunity to dig up his skeletons. Too bad. 'I'm just getting started with you, Kylan Greene.' I thought as I pictured his stupid smug face. With all he had done, you would think he would be brave enough to face me but no, he was hiding behind his title. Fucking coward. “Ask Hwan's cousin to give me a full rundown on Sally Wallace.” She was the owner of the car. “I want to know how exactly she died, who she met with at the time, every single thing he can find.” Ron and Henry, we're going through the files containing all that our spies had documented from their time in Lunagrove. We needed to find out how Greene had managed to cover his tracts so effectively, and if he had partners in crime, who they were. Just then, a wave of guilt ro

Maya's POV “Why didn’t you tell me?.” I asked as I stood in the centre of Chase's bedroom with my arms wrapped tightly around my torso, my mind securely blocked from his. Chase closed the door and turned to me, his expression solemn. “Gerald's condition is not stable and I didn’t want you to feel worse if things eventually went south.” “I doubt it's possible for me to feel worse than I've felt these past few days. You knew the person who helped was Gerald and that he had survived yet you didn’t tell me in case things went south?” “But I'm telling you now, isn't that enough?” “You're telling me days later because you’ve had some mystical change of heart.” The fact that I had felt so close to him just last night made his deception hurt more. “We freaking mated and all the while you were keeping this from me? What would you have done if something had gone wrong? Would have just kept lying to my face forever?” He knew that guilt had been eating me up because of this, it made no sen

Maya's POVBefore I could rethink my decision of standing there rather than hurrying to hide, Chase stormed into the living room, his imposing height shrunk down the room.Voices sounded behind him but I could not decipher anything beyond his dangerously darkened whiskey eyes. They scanned me from head to toe then met my eyes with ardent fury.“Are you hurt?”I arched a brow. “Do I look hurt?”He didn’t get to talk to me the way he had last night then barge in here like a caveman acting all concerned.“I felt your terror through our bond but I couldn’t reach to you—I still can’t. Why did you block me out of your mind?”I shook my head in disbelief and replied tersely, “If you want to pretend like you don't know, I'm sure as hell not going to humour you by answering that question.”I was close to yelling but refrained as we weren’t alone in the room.Five pairs of curious eyes stared at us without a word, Ron— who came with Chase— was the first to break the silence.“Chase, we left in

Maya's POV After we talked, a very reluctant Chase walked me over to Genny's. He had work to take care of and Faith had not so politely pestered me to come see the decorations of the dinner. The dinner was tonight, her dad would be coming back later today then everyone who was invited would join them for dinner by 7 pm. Henry, Ron and Case were invited along with other people I didn’t know but Genny had assured me that they were all close friends of the family so I didn’t have to be nervous. Did I know what I would wear yet? Nope. Was I currently hating myself for procrastinating the chore of finding a dress? Absolutely. The door swung open before I could raise my hand to knock, and Chase and I were greeted by a mass of red curls. “Maya!” Faith squealed. Her brows climbed in surprise when she spotted Chase behind me. “You want to see the decorations too, Alpha?” “You never invited me too, now did you?” He teased. “Is that Chase?” Genny's voice asked from inside. “Tell him to

I stared at our ride mouth agape and Chase chuckled.“Before you say anything about us driving there, you should know that I'm dead set on this. I want to be able to fully admire you in that dress before I share this beautiful view with anyone else and walking won’t let me do that freely without face-planting the sidewalk.”I laughed and rolled my eyes at his rant.“I understand that but it makes no sense that you would hire a limousine for such a short distance.”He gasped in mock outrage. “Hire? I'll have you know that this baby right here is mine.”I looked between him and the limo which's door he was now stroking like it was his baby and quirked a brow.“Should I be jealous?” I asked ignoring the fact that my mate just happened to have a whole ass limo sitting in his garage.“Oh, just get in smartass, we're going to be late.”Giving in, I said– “You should have thought of that before you started devouring my lips.”He had just helped me into the limo but at my words, he halted his
