His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 24
*Grayson*She hadn't noticed me at first.I'd watched her for more than a few minutes before she'd realized I'd been standing there. I watched the way her hair seemed to float behind her, watched the swell of her breasts move in and out of the water with her attempt to stay afloat. Contrary to whatever was going on in her head, if the look she was giving me was any indication, I hadn't wanted to be anywhere around her either. I definitely had not sought her out. The lake was something only I knew of. Aside from the fact that it was surrounded by tall trees, making it difficult to be spotted, none of the pack members were allowed to step this far away from the pack.It wasn't part of our territory. It was close enough that the pack warriors might detect a sound if it was loud enough but it still wasn't part. And this tiny human who had sworn to drive me insane had foolishly come here. And had the mind to only be in her tiny underwear. If anything had happened to her, Trevor would neve

*Keera*"Are you going to stand here looking at her or are you actually going to go over there and talk to her?" Lexi asked, coming to stand beside me, a half eaten hot dog in her hand. I tried to quickly drag my gaze away from Ginny but it was already too late. I'd been caught red handed. I steered my gaze to Lexi's, accepting the glass she was handing me. I brought the cup to my nose, arcing my eyebrow at her. She could be a little crazy sometimes. "Beer, really?" I asked dryly. Lexi of all people knew how much I tried to stay away from alcohol. It was embarrassing to admit but I was a terrible lightweight. I couldn't handle my alcohol so I just stayed clear of it all together. I didn't need people knowing how easy it was to get me drunk. It didn't match my tough girl persona, and more than that I tended to become a lot more crazy and blunt when I was drunk.Lexi smiled cheekily, touching her hotdog. Holding the glass like she was making a toast. "It's just a little liquid courage

*Grayson*Well, that was unexpected.I'd anticipated a lot of things happening during the ritual but seeing Ginny and Keera hugging so warmly had definitely not been on the list of things I'd anticipated. And I could say the same for those who knew about their fall out, especially the council members. Every one of them looked as stunned as I felt. I wondered if Keera was just trying to be kind for old times' sake or if they had finally settled their differences. I'd seen them hugging right after Ginny had finished with the rites for Sam, her face red as she tried her hardest to stop herself from sobbing her eyes out.I was happy for them.Especially since I knew I'd played a major role. Which had me wondering if Keera and I were ever going to confront what had happened in the past. I was a little surprised we'd both managed to stay off the topic for so long. The small tug on my shirt drew me out of my thoughts. I turned to find Nyx smiling widely at me. I'd always suspected she secret

*Keera*"How is that even possible?" I asked in surprise, staring down at the reports from the autopsy we'd done on the victim. This had to be the fastest exam we'd ever done and yet we still couldn't identify the cause of death. Looking at the reports one would conclude that he'd died of a natural cause but we all knew that was far from the case. At least, if the needle marks on the side of his neck were any indication.Lexi shook her head confusedly, her forehead wrinkling. "This is unlike anything I've ever studied before," She muttered under her breath. I turned to where the victim lay still with the white sheet spread over his body. He'd been identified as Jon, a bartender at one of the local bars in the pack. How the killer had managed to take him down in broad daylight was something no one understood. My phone beeped in the pocket of my lab coat.I carefully took my gloves off and read the message from Josie. She was waiting for me in the parking lot of the bar, so we could i

*Grayson*Hell no. "Forget it," I said flatly, rising to my feet. I moved towards the side of the table so I could leave the room but she immediately jumped to her feet to stop me from walking out. I paused, her raised hands just a hair's width away from making contact with my chest. I dropped my gaze down to her hands and then back up to meet her eyes. She tentatively lowered it, taking a step back to put some distance between us.The air crackled.Her eyebrows lifted. "Just hear me out," She said calmly. "Please." I laced my arms across my chest, spreading my legs apart and signaling that she could go on. She mumurred her thanks and pushed her hair behind her ears, taking a deep breath. At least she didn't seem all that surprised by my reaction. It was a good thing she had known better than to think I would easily agree with her suggestion. Aside from the fact that it was going to cost a whole lot of money getting the cameras, there was no way I would ever be comfortable having he

*Keera*The water was cooler than I remembered. I needed some time to sort out the thoughts in my head and the lake had been the only place that came to mind. Grayson would probably think I was trying to piss him off if he could see me right now. Not like I cared much for what he thought. I stepped further into the lake, feeling the water rise up my legs. I stopped when the water slowly began getting deep. Coming here all by myself was one thing. Letting myself get drowned in the water was an entirely different thing. I could only imagine what everyone would say after I'd been discovered. I twisted my body until I was floating in the water, shutting my eyelids and letting my thoughts run wild. I've been waiting for Grayson to give his feedback about having the cameras set up in the pack but so far he had chosen to remain silent. I knew I had to bring it up again myself if we were ever going to reach a conclusion. "Is this some sort of new routine?" A voice asked, startling me. I co

*Grayson*"It's Keera," Ryan mouthed.We'd been having a discussion when her knock had sounded on the door. Whatever had brought her had to be important. She'd been avoiding me since our kiss at the lake. "Let her in," I said quietly. Ryan stepped aside, pulling the door with him so she could walk in. Her eyes met mine, steady and unflinching as she took further steps into the room. She was wearing black jeans and black boots together with a white turtleneck."We need to talk," She said firmly, folding her arms. Ryan wiggled his eyebrow from behind her and she must have felt it because she turned and shot him a dry look. He raised his hands apologetically, giving her a small salute before exiting the room. I watched her draw in a all breath before meeting my eyes and walking even closer. I gestured for her to take a seat but she shook her head, refusing. "It's been days now since you said you were going to get back to me about the cameras and I haven't heard a single word from you abo

*Keera*The rest of the ride was silent after that, save for a few one word responses to questions here and there. I couldn't seem to stop my mind from racing at the implication of what Grayson had done. He'd kissed me. And propositioned me. Then he kissed me again. Even now as I subtly ran a finger across my bottom lip, I wondered if he hadn't lost his mind. Getting involved with a human was extremely fatal, moreso when caught. Yes, we were attracted to each other but that wasn't enough to throw everything he'd been taught about his pack down the drain.Was it?And how about me? I wasn't sure whether or not I should even consider taking him up on his offer. For one thing, the team and I were treating this whole thing like the case it was and that meant Grayson was our client. It would be extremely shocking if I went against my character and got involved with a client, not to mention very unprofessional, irrespective of how hot said client looked. I pushed all that to the back of my m

*Keera*Our symbol was beautiful; an image of the moon goddess's face, with complex and finely detailed patterns and vines growing out of her hair. I knew enough about werewolves to know it was a sign of the goddess's approval. We stepped out of the glass house, my body still humming from our passionate union. I felt deliciously spent, my knees threatening to give out beneath me. Grayson took my hand in his, his fingers intertwining with mine as we walked up to Ryan and then faced the pack. The symbol on our skin, a dark pigmentation resembling a tattoo, seemed to glow in the moonlight. I felt my face heat up as I met the pack member’s gazes, realizing they had heard my screams of pleasure. Their eyes sparkled with amusement, and I drifted my attention elsewhere, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. We stepped a bit forward and presented ourselves firstly to the council before the pack members gathered around, eager to see the symbol for themselves. Ryan was in control of the crowd

*Grayson *Ginny placed a gentle hand on my arm, her voice soft. "Grayson, she'll be okay. Dahlia knows what she's doing." I continued pacing outside Keera's bedroom door, anxiety threatening to unalive me. Dahlia had been attending to Keera for what felt like an eternity. The turning process was always unpredictable, what if I'd made a terrible mistake? Nyx handed me a bottle of water but I rejected it, not feeling the least bit thirty. Different thoughts warred in my mind. I should have been watching her more closely, but instead I'd been carried away by the pleasure that came with activating the mate bond. Thankfully, Dahlia stepped out of the room then, a warm smile on her face. "She's okay." She announced, talking about Keera. "The turning was successful. I've tested her blood, and the werewolf gene has taken hold." My heart sank with relief, and my entire body instantly relaxed. Nyx released a relieved sigh, holding on to Ginny. Dahlia's eyes lifted to mine. "We'll leave you a

*Keera*His eyes were twin blazes of fury.He angrily shoved my hands away. "What makes you think you can just walk back in here and expect everything to be okay?" His voice was laced with venom, each word dripping with hurt and betrayal. The gaping hole in my head chest turned into a whirlwind that threatened to drown my whole. He'd never been this mad at me. Not even when he'd lashed out and humiliated me at my graduation party. I wiped my face with the back of my palm but the tears wouldn't stop coming.Fear threatened to cripple me.Fear that he was completely and truly done with me. He wanted to know why I came back? "I realized I love you," I confessed, my voice trembling. "I love you more than anything, and I was wrong to leave. I was wrong to give up on us." I held his unyielding gaze, praying to whatever power above for him to take me back. He ran his hand through his hair, taking a step back like my words had hit him like a ton of bricks. His expression softened ever so slig
His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 72
*Grayson*My room was the messiest it had ever been in years, my bed strewn with travel brochures and maps. After spending hours surfing the internet and jumping from one website to the other, I'd finally picked a new destination for myself. The thought of starting a new life away from all the troubles that came with ruling the pack had seemed like the best decision to take. My brows furrowed when my phone began buzzing on the nightstand.I picked it up to see a text from Ryan, requesting to meet with me in my study. I pushed away from the bed, already knowing what he wanted to talk about. I silently hoped he had finally seen reason with me. I left the map open on my bed, marking the page with a bookmark, and made my way downstairs to the study. Ryan was standing by the window when I got in, his back to me. He turned to face me when he heard the creak of the door."Hey," He greeted lightly. I closed the door and stepped further inside the room. He pinched the bridge of his nose, stari

*Keera*"Grayson, I-I'm. . .""Just say the words for goodness's sake Keera!"I jerked awake, my hand immediately flying to my chest. I'd had the weirdest dream ever. Grayson had been angrily chasing me around the woods and when he'd finally caught up with me, he'd threatened to stake me if I didn't confess the truth about my feelings. My alarm went off just then and I pushed the covers off my body, getting to my feet.I wore my flipflops, walking into the bathroom to prepare for another long day. I could barely explain how I'd been managing to get by these passed few days. I'd lost the enthusiasm to do anything, including prepare my own food. It's been a week since I'd left the pack and I was yet to receive a text from Grayson. Everyday I found more reasons why he should have already reached out.He'd said he was in love with me, hadn't he? I was out of the bathroom in a few minutes and out of the house half an hour later, my bag resting on my shoulder. I walked by the sidewalk, not
His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 70
*Grayson*A soft breeze danced around the woods, the sound of rustling leaves the only noise I could make out. It had been six days since Keera had left the pack with her team. Six days since I'd forced myself to accept the harsh truth; that she wasn't coming back. Not for me to end our mate bond, and certainly not for me to turn her. I'd spent the first two days of her absence, hanging on to the hope that my phone would ring from a call from her, or beep from a text that she'd sent. I'd wished for the goddess to make her realize the depth of her feelings for me.I'd done everything but accept that this was the end for us.But then two days had turned into four and four had turned into six and I'd had to come to terms with the fact that we were truly and completely over. If she wanted to, she would have been back to the pack by now. The fact that she hadn't returned and she hadn't bothered reaching out spoke volumes. I could only imagine the peace and clarity she'd gotten from spendin
His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 69
*Keera*I spent the first two days after I arrived back home unpacking my stuff and trying to shake off the feeling of nostalgia and emptiness that lingered inside me. I'd thought I would be more excited to be back home, surrounded by familiar faces and familiar places, but instead, the city felt hollow, and my apartment felt like a stranger's. The silence was almost depressing and I couldn't help but think of Grayson, of the pack, and of the life I'd been getting used to, which I'd left behind.It had been two days but the usually simple task of unpacking had felt so Herculean that I wasn't done with it yet. As I put away the last of my belongings, my mind began to wander. I couldn't help but feel a familiar sense of regret settle deep in my stomach. I should have let Grayson know how I really felt about him when I got the chance. He'd told me he loved me for the second time, and looking back now, I knew I should have said something.The kiss we'd shared before I left still lingered
His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 68
*Grayson*I leaned against my bed stand, Ryan and Ginny standing only a few meters away from me. Keera and the rest of the team were preparing to leave, and I knew what Ryan and Ginny had come to talk to me about even though they both hadn't said anything yet. My conversation with Keera yesterday had been living rent free in my head for the past eighteen hours. Ryan, ever the voice of reason, spoke up first. "Grayson, you know what needs to be done." He said softly, sharing a worried look with his mate. "You can't mate with someone else if Keera's still considered your mate."I nodded, completely understanding the pack's laws. Ginny's voice was even softer when she spoke. "You have to reject Keera publicly." Major events like banishment, inauguration and rejection were, as a law, to be done publicly with the pack members as witnesses for them to have any effect. I rubbed my temples, feeling the tension build. I hadn't been joking when I'd let Keera know I had to reject her before she
His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 67
*Keera*I'm madly in love with you.I'm madly in love with you.I'm madly in love with you.I couldn't get the words out of my head no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't help the feeling of self loathe that coursed through me. I was the most heartless person ever. He'd confessed his love for me and I'd asked him to leave my room. I slammed my hands on the dressing table, regret eating away at me. Why hadn't I let him know I was madly in love with him too? Maybe even more than he was with me. I ran my hands through my hair, sighing dejectedly.Was I even doing the right thing anymore?It seemed like the lines between right and wrong had suddenly blurred. My mind had been made up in the beginning; finish up with the case and go home. I didn't belong here, no matter what my feelings for Grayson were. We were species apart, our lives were different. I didn't want him to leave his pack because of me. He was born to be a leader and taking him away from his purpose would only make him resen
