MY MURDEROUS MATE

FINDING MATES

Devyn POV

Jori and I spent most of the day at the mall shopping. Although not near the selection of the city life, I did happen to find some accommodating outfits that would be suitable for working here at the pack.

This morning I called Mick to let him know that I would be staying longer than we had discussed. He sounded both disappointed and aggravated. His being clingy was definitely a turn off to me. I was not going to have a constraint on my life. I know that I should feel bad about having s*x with Blayde while technically still dating a human. I can feel my wolf internally roll her eyes.

The call ended when I heard a knock on his door, so he had to excuse himself. I was so glad about the interruption. I could get back to getting this mate matching ceremony over. Tomorrow I had an appointment with my pack client so I could get more details about the lawsuit. I’ve read over some documents.

The case is cut and dry so I’m not certain where lies the problem. Bruna Garnets had a daughter named Saliana that was living in the Frostcrest Pack working as an exotic dancer. She was pregnant but had overdosed on a lethal amount of drugs. That is extremely hard to do for werewolves, but it is possible. The doctor/surgeon, Tegan Moss, made the decision to save the pup instead of trying to save the mother.

Apparently saving both would not have been an option according to medical records although Bruna believes that the doctor should have tried. According to what I see, Bruna gave all custody of the pup to the Frostcrest Pack. This is equally strange. Why wouldn’t a grandparent want the offspring of her own daughter.

There are lots of questions. I’ll need to get all the answers because I’m certain there is more to the story than what is documented. In fact, I’ve reached out to my firm and having an investigator pull information about this doctor/surgeon. I want to know everything about him. This is my first assignment as the Head Attorney Guardian and I’m taking the lead. I must fry this guy to make a good impression and make my pack be feared.

My father was known by his fierce antics in the courtroom. He always had an ace up his sleeve. Even when the opposition were certain that their case was closed tight, he made certain they wouldn’t expect his hidden information. This made our pack strong as other packs seldom brought about cases. On occasion, our pack would have disputes and they would quickly settle because of the reputation.

I just know that I’ll make my father proud and I’ll keep the tradition intact. As I’m reminiscing about my father and keeping the same respect, I hear a knock on my door from the bathroom Hmmm, let me guess who that might be.

I open the door and find a very sexy Blayde standing staring at me. “Hello handsome! Are you here to escort me to this feeding fiasco of horny teenagers?” He burst into laughter.

Blayde, “Devyn, you are gorgeous. That skintight red sequin dress is doing things to me. Should we just skip the dog and pony show and get down to business?”

“Aren’t you presumptive? Who says we are getting down to anymore business? Anyways, you might just find your mate tonight! If so, this thing between us … never happened. Got it! It will be our little secret.”

Blayde, “There are no secrets here. Ginger knows! So does the pack.”

“f**k! I forgot she knew. Oh well, I hope your mate isn’t too jealous.”

Blayde, “It’s been a couple of years and I haven’t found her so what makes you think tonight will be the night? Plus, after our little time together.”

“Stop now! Don’t even think it. The moon goddess gave you a gift. She knows what you need, and it is NOT me. She knows us Blayde. That’s why I don’t have a mate. She knows I don’t want one. Now shut up and let’s go.”

With that he just shakes his head and without saying another word, he extends his elbow so he can escort me downstairs and out to the garden where other packs are gathering with eligible non-mated wolves.

I must laugh! I mean, what other creatures have a gathering to sniff to see if they smell their mates. I guess other shifters might do the same but since werewolves are the most populated then it is necessary to expose more wolves so they can find their mate.

Blayde and I stand close to the stage. Duran and Jori take the stage to make their welcoming speech. Everyone claps and are then excused to grab drinks, eat, and begin the search.

Soon, we hear growls and wolves howling. I’ve been here so I know exactly the meaning. There will be a lot of screwing happening tonight. There will also be a lot of pups being born in about 6 months. I shake my head and meander over to the spiked punch. Blayde is still by my side convinced his mate is not present. I soon notice him twitching his nose.

“Blayde? You’re smelling something aren’t you?”

He looks at me a little sad, “It is the best smell in the world. My wolf is going nuts. I’m sorry Dev. I didn’t expect this.”

I just place my hand on his to give him reassurance that it’s ok. I hear a not so friendly growl behind me. I turn to see a pup around 18 years old standing there. She is maybe 5’2, long curly brown hair with green eyes. She is a bit plump but seemingly delicate and submissive. Blayde will most positively ravish her.

I throw up my hands showing surrender. “Just friends dear! Let me introduce you to this nice gentleman. This is Blayde.” She looks down and replies, “Sarah”. I give a quick smile to Blayde and walk away. He is gazing her every detail. I glance back to see him closer to her and sniffing her neck.

I do believe I will now have to share a bathroom with a 3rd person!
