MY MURDEROUS MATE

VISITOR

Devyn POV

I retire to my bedroom to review material from the case. I’m so frustrated. There aren’t details. The investigation team sucked!

Feeling like there is no use reviewing the same material, I pick up the first book about how and why the moon goddess created mates. I learned most of it in school about one completing the other and blah, blah, blah.

I get to a part that talks about being able to know when the other is lying. The moon goddess says that a deep feeling within your gut will make you cramp so severe that you are bent over. I read further to find out that it isn’t required to have mated or marked to have this reaction. I throw it to the side. This can’t be so. This is just a fable.

I toss the book aside and stare at the ceiling. It’s not long before I hear a ding from my phone.

Text, “I need to see you in private.”

“Who is this?”

Text, “If I tell you, you won’t come.”

“Who says I would anyways? What is this about?”

Text, “I really have to see you, I need to explain some stuff and I want to do it in person.”

Oh, my goddess! Is this Tegan?

“Well, I’m NOT coming to you. If you want to talk, you come to me.”

Text, “Your pack won’t let me in.”

“I’ll tell them I’m expecting you and I’ll get permission from Alpha.”

Text, “How do you know who this is?”

“I don’t. I’m guessing. We’ll see if I’m right. See you in 2 hours. Don’t be late.”

I throw my phone to the side and run to Duran’s office. Without knocking (yes, I know bad mistake), I barge into the office. “Duran, …..WHOA!”

I just walked in on Jori giving Duran a blow job. s**t! He was spread eagle on the top of the desk while she was taking his rod in her mouth. I could tell he was so close by the moan and the grip on her head. s**t! I’m in so much trouble!

I’m walking circles in the hallway. I must get permission and soon, but I don’t dare go in there again. Just as I’m preparing to go to the guard gate, the Alpha door opens. Jori smirks at me and wiggles her eyebrows. I gulp nervously and walk-in.

“I am so so sorry to have barged in. Please, please, please forgive me! I didn’t see…. much!” I try saying an end up digging the hole deeper.

Jori laughs, “It was our fault for not locking the door. After just having the pup, we can’t have s*x, so I had to relieve his stress somehow.” She goes and climbs on his lap while wrapping her arms around his neck. She seems to be handling my intrusion very well.

Duran on the other hand looks mortified. He is sitting there just staring a hole through me. “What did you need that was so urgent that you couldn’t even knock?”

I gulp again because Duran has never, and I mean never, sounded so harsh towards me.

“Well, Alpha, Luna ….. s**t! I’m sorry. I have a break in the case. I have a witness or informant coming to the pack and need your permission to allow them on pack lands. I’ll be meeting him in my room at my desk.”

Jori, “Him?”

Duran, “Who are you meeting with Devyn?”

I close my eyes gathering the nerves to say his name, “Tegan.”

Jori jumps up running towards me, “Tegan is coming here?” It’s not a mad hug. Nope. It’s a hug that takes my breath away. Immediately she is pulling me out of the room saying I must get ready. I turn to see Duran with a s**t eating grin on his face. At least he doesn’t seem mad at me now! I guess that’s a positive.

“Jori, I really don’t need to get ready. This is nothing but business. I think he’s coming her to come clean about Saliana. I need to prepare myself to take the deposition of guilt. Then I have to reject him. I’ve not read what the circumstances of rejection but I’m certain this would qualify.”

Jori, “Rejection! What the hell are you talking about? Look, I know we’ve been threatened by Elder Bevis and the Frostcrest Pack. But Dev, we’re talking about your mate! You two are supposed to love one another unconditionally, have wild s*x, and eventually a litter of pups!”

“Uh, NO! I could never marry or mate a murderer!”

Jori, “There’s no proof Tegan murdered Saliana! If she was murdered, we need to find out who. If it was Tegan, then we need to bring justice to him. But you of all people know not to convict someone without evidence. Don’t jump to conclusions.”

“Ok, but seriously! I’m not dressing up. I’m comfortable in my sweatpants and a tank top. If he doesn’t like it, I don’t care.”

Jori, “Suit yourself. By the way, just talking about him is making your n*****s hard.” She smirks before shutting the door as she leaves.

I glance down and sure enough they are hard. It must be from a draft. It can’t possibly be from the mention of Tegan.

I get a mind-link that Tegan is on his way to the pack house and is being escorted by guards per Alpha. Without hesitation, I leave the room running to the door. I don’t want any questions and need to get him to my room before there are rumors flying.

Opening the door, there’s a breeze blowing. s**t! I forgot to change tops or put on a bra. Tegan begins walking to the steps and stops. His eyes move from my bare feet, up to my torso and stop at my breast. Trying to not linger too long, he moves to my lips stopping to admire before looking me in the eye.

I have my eyebrow c****d, “Like what you see, Dr. Moss?”

Tegan, “More than anything I’ve ever laid my eyes on.”

Ok, I melted. I have no comeback. Instead, I give him the same eye f*****g he just gave me. He is now in tight tan jeans. I can see the outline of his package that seems semi-hard, his polo shirt is tucked in and his enhances his ripped chest and tight abs. I also stop at his lips and watch them turn into a smirk.

Tegan, “I’m guessing you like what you see too?”

“It’s the mate bond. Nothing more. Follow me.” I turn and lead him into my room. I’m so happy that Duran allowed me a larger room with room enough for a desk to work. “Ok, have a seat there.”

Tegan reached out and touched my arm. Sparks exploded. “Thank you for seeing me. I promise I won’t take too long. It’s something I’ve been mulling over.”

I instinctively lick my lips, “What is it, Tegan? Did you come to confess?”

Tegan, “Confess? Devyn, I swear to you, I didn’t murder Saliana.”

I wait for some kind of ache to appear in my stomach. Nothing. See, I knew the book was just a fable. “Then why didn’t you disclose that you knew her earlier and why didn’t be upfront about having s*x with her.”

Tegan, “I didn’t think it was important, it wasn’t like I was trying to hide it.”

The pain shot through my stomach like a lightning bolt. I bent over holding it while cursing him to tell the truth.

Tegan, “Ok, ok. I knew it would look bad if I disclosed that I knew her and had s*x with her. I cared for her but not in a relationship kind of way. I swear to you.”

The pain subsided as he was trying to check my stomach. Again, sparks were exploding.

Tegan, “Can I raise your shirt and press on your stomach? I want to make certain your appendix didn’t rupture. The pain seemed intense and that could be the likely cause.”

I don’t know what came over me, the next moment I had Tegan pressed against the wall. My breathing was labored. Delila was on the surface. She wanted her mate! I was fighting to stop her but honestly the need within me was taking control.

I wrapped my hands in his blond hair and looked deep within his green eyes, “Tegan, I don’t know what I believe yet or how this case will resolve. What I do know, is that I need you. I need to be with my mate at least once.” I bit my lip as I waited for his response.

Tegan bends his head eyeing my lips. He licks his as he pulls my waist into him tighter and grasp my ass. Once his lips finally touch mine, it was like heaven opened its doors. The sparks flew through my body igniting a fire that had laid dormant.
