The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway novel Chapter 1

Book 1 Chapter 9 

Myra‘s POV. 

He stands in front of me, with his arms crossed in front of his chest. I really wish he wouldn‘t do that, it makes his muscles look even bigger and flaunts his lovely tattoos. 

‘This!‘ I cry triumphantly and hold up the bobble (hair tie) I have spent the past five minutes looking for. 

Jayce raises an eyebrow but doesn‘t say a word, when does he ever? 

I sigh with relief and bend over, flicking my mass of curls forward so I can tie the mane up on my head. I knew I should have straightened my hair again, it makes it so much more manageable, these curls are a nightmare. 

When I straighten up, Jayce is watching me and I blush under his dark gaze. This man just exudes raw sexual chemistry. 

“Damien sent me, he says you need help with getting into some accounts or something?‘ He asks and I smile at him. 

‘Yes please, I can‘t seem to log in to this system Alpha Damien was telling me about, he said he‘d send help... you‘re good with computers then?‘ I ask and Jayce‘s lips press into a grim line. 

He sits down at the desk and I hurriedly put my things back into my handbag. 

‘Yes, he replies bluntly and starts typing away at the keyboard. 

I watch in awe as he logs into the system‘s mainframe and within minutes has granted me entry. 

‘Wow, so you‘re like a computer geek?” I ask over his shoulder, still amazed by what I‘ve seen. 

He glares at me and stands up. 

‘From what I hear, you‘re a Maths geek, he responds, his eyes cool and analyzing. I smile at him and slip into my now–vacated seat. 

‘More of a stats geek, I can only write computer scripts not hack into them, that‘s impressive,’ I reply and he nods at me before turning and walking away. 

‘Thank you!‘ I call after him, but he ignores me and disappears around the corner. 

What is that man‘s problem with me? He hates me! 

My phone rings and I glance around before sliding to accept the call. 

‘Tell me you are free tonight?‘ My best friend asks excitedly and I resist rolling my eyes. 

“Hmm, maybe. Why?‘ I ask curiously and I hear Jasper squeal on the other end of the phone. 

‘There is a special event on at Infinity and I‘m coming up!‘ Jasper screams and I instinctively pull the phone away from my ear. 

‘Wow, that‘s great! 

‘What time do you finish work?‘ 

‘Six, want me to collect you from the station?‘ 

‘Yeah, sounds great, thank you! 

I‘ll invite Aria over as well, I tell him. 

Aria went to school with us and lives nearby with her mate, Seb. 

‘Great! 

‘Oh, and one more thing, what is this special event?‘ | ask, knowing that it‘s going to be something ex treme because it‘s Jasper, 

He pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath. 

Jesus, please let it be something normal. 

‘Fetish night!‘ He yells and the smile drops from my face. 

‘Are you serious?‘ I ask, trying to hold back my laugh. 

Oh, this is going to be interesting. 

We say our goodbyes and I hang up the phone. I put my head in my hands and groan, what I am going 

I raise an eyebrow but don‘t say anything. I guess with him being on the night shift this is breakfast time to him. 

• I‘m sorry, I needed to get in. I have to go pick Jasper up from the station in.‘ | glance at the clock on the wall. ‘Fifteen minutes. We‘re going out tonight, I explain and set my handbag down on the kitchen island. 

‘She‘s found her mate so stay away from her, you little shit.’ 

I know as soon as his train has arrived due to the piercing squeal that echoes throughout the foyer. I sigh and shake my head as I see Jasper running towards me, everyone around us is looking, he‘s so embar rassing sometimes. I grin and open my arms for him to leap into. 

To say I‘m shocked, is a huge understatement. I freeze and stand completely immobile as I stare wide eyed at Jayce, who is standing on my front doorstep.
