His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 41
*Keera*"I'm glad I'm not the only one," Lexi said, settling back into her seat. We were in the conference room having a meeting and wondering what the killer was up to. It had been a while since they had last struck, and I was beginning to fear that they had something up their sleeve. Serial killers didn't normally drift away from their Target. They loved the high they got from a careful and successful killing routine way too much. I tapped my pen on the desk, moving my eyes around the surveillance monitor.Grayson's council members were absent, so the discussion was a lot freer than it would have been. "They have to be up to no good." Kathleen chipped in with a shake of her head, raising the plastic cup in front of her to her lips. I caught Josie's eyes then. She was the only one who hadn't spoke throughout the meeting. I could tell she knew I had something important to say. I just wasn't sure how to bring it up or how they would take it.But I couldn't keep it with me any longer.I

*Grayson*I stared at the scene in front of me, different emotions churning beneath my skin. For one, I was surprised to find one of the young werewolves of the pack out here without supervision. I already knew she hadn't come out here with Keera. Keera always visited the lake alone. If that wasn't surprising enough, the fact that Keera had actually guided her through her first shift had left me completely stunned. Where was the woman who had harbored a fierce dislike for my species?Who had sworn she could never be won over.I'd seen a different side of her, watching her spend time with Ellie but that hadn't even done justice to how compassionate and amazing she truly was. The softness in her gaze disappeared as she laid eyes on me. I could read the obvious question in her eyes. How long had I been standing there? I drifted my attention to the wolf hiding behind her legs. "We have to take her to Elena to make sure she's completely fine."Keera gave her head a shake, blinking hard. "Y

*Keera*I stood at the forefront of the conference table rather confidently. My team and I were having a joint meeting with the pack council and I could feel the weight of everyone's stares settling on my shoulders. The long, polished table separating us seemed to symbolize the divide between humans and werewolves, a constant reminder of the fragile balance we've been striving to maintain. I meet the eyes of each person by my left. From Ralph's unreadable expression to the curiosity on Ginny's face to Ria's barely concealed irritation, I knew they were slowly getting tired of all the meetings that didn't seem to provide any answers. I knew I had to tread carefully. I had anticipated this meeting and rehearsed my response, but I still couldn't shake off the feeling of unease."Well?" Nyx urged softly, realizing I was lost in thought. I sent her a grateful smile. Nyx and I had bonded over the past few days because of Ellie. Ryan and Elena leaned forward, their faces etched with curiosi

*Grayson*I stepped into the house, coming back from an instantaneous patrol I'd had to do around the pack right after the meeting with Keera's team. As I entered the living room, my gaze swept across the space and I caught sight of Josie's worried expression, her brow furrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. I frowned, looking around as I took a few steps towards her. Has something happened? She looked up, hearing the sound of my footsteps."Josie, what's wrong?" I asked, my tone instinctively gentle, concern etched on my face. Her eyes darted towards the stairs before returning to mine, filled with a mix of apprehension and hesitation. I immediately felt a cloud of darkness settle above me. She hadn't said a word yet but I already knew it had something to do with Keera. If the way she'd slanted a look at the stairs hadn't been an indication, the mate bond going a bit awry was a definite giveaway.The crease between her brows deepened as she stared at the floor. "Keera... she

*Keera*I laid in bed, surrounded by the gray and white walls of my temporary bedroom and feeling much like a fragile doll. Elena moved her hands gently over my bruised body, checking for injuries she might not have detected yesterday. I hadn't really been able to speak to anyone yesterday since I'd been in and out of consciousness. Elena had told me that she'd asked them to check back today, so I was expecting a few visits. She rounded up her inspection, her touch soothing and making me relax against my will.I was still determined to hold on to my dislike for these people but they were making it more and more difficult with each passing day and with each act of kindness. Elena released a relieved sigh and I took that to mean I was responding well to treatment. I turned my attention to her when she moved away from the bed. "Feeling better?" She asked, meeting my eyes. The smile on her face was soothing and her brown eyes showed a bit of concern."A little," I replied, with a nod of m

GraysonEllie climbed down from the bed and ran to give me a hug, her tiny hands wrapping around my legs. I smoothed her hair, my eyes on the woman laying down on the bed and taking me in. Her gaze dropped to my hand on Ellie's head and a ghost of a smile danced around her lips. I ran my gaze over her form, feeling a surge of protectiveness. She looked better than she had yesterday but it was obvious she was still recovering. I smiled, crossing the room to sit beside her as Ellie climbed back on the bed and resumed her coloring. The chair creaked softly under my weight as I settled in, my gaze meeting hers. We had barely talked yesterday, saying not more than a few sentences before she'd go back to sleep. And that was only in the evening. She'd slipped in and out of consciousness for the most part of the morning. I was happy to see she was doing a bit better. She looked tired, like she was struggling to keep her eyes open."Hey," I said softly. She settled into the pillows stacked be

*Keera*Two days had passed since Grayson's last visit. I honestly wished I could say it didn't matter, but there was no use. It mattered a whole damn lot. I couldn't seem to shake off the feeling of abandonment. Why hadn't he come back to check on me? Has everyone's suspicions gotten the best of him? Questions swirled around in my mind, leaving me dizzy and uncertain. I tried to focus on getting better, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Grayson. I understood if he no longer wanted to carry on our relationship, but he could at least let me know.Pushing all thoughts of him aside, I stepped down from the large bed and prepared for a shower. I set the tap running, organizing all my bathing products in a small tray. Soon enough, the bathroom became steamy, the scent of my lavender soap filling the air. I peeled my clothes away from my body, folding it neatly and setting it aside. I stepped into the shower, impatient to feel the warm water against my skin.Water cascaded down my body

*Grayson*I checked myself out in the mirror, picking up my cellphone. It was still early in the morning; the perfect time to go on patrol around the pack and then head out to inspect the pack's borders. I sent Ryan a text to let him know we were leaving in thirty minutes. I'd been up hours ago, but knowing Ryan, he'd probably forgotten about our patrol this morning and could do with the reminder. A knock sounded on my door and seconds after I'd given whoever it was permission, Ginny walked in.She closed the door and walked further into the room, the sound of her footsteps almost inaudible. She stared at me, pushing her hair behind her ears. "I'd hoped I could catch you before you headed out with Ryan." I rested my weight against my dressing table, watching as she dragged one of the chairs in the room to herself and straddled it and looked up at me. "We need to talk, Grayson."I folded my legs at my ankle and my arms across my chest, knowing the conversation was long overdue. There

His Forbidden Human Mate Chapter 75
*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

*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
