*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*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

  • His Forbidden Human Mate   Chapter 1

    *Keera*I've often heard people say on several occasions that the truth was bitter, but I've never once actually had a first hand experience to prove that the adage was indeed true. At least I've never had the experience up until now. For as long as I could remember I've always regarded myself as someone who wasn't scared of anything. There was almost no task I couldn't take on. No one I couldn't face. Nothing I couldn't do. Or at least that was what I thought.I stared blankly at my supervisor, wishing with every fiber of my being that I hadn't actually heard him right. My heart seemed to crash against my ribcage and my palms were a little sweatier than usual. I swallowed forcefully, realizing that this had to be the closest I'd come to knowing what fear felt like. I couldn't recount any instance where I'd ever been genuinely afraid. Not even the day I'd found out that werewolves existed and I had been living with them my whole life.I remember being surprised, even in a bit of shock

    *Grayson*I stared at Ginny, hating the disturbed look on her face. My sister was almost never happy these days. It was true there was practically nothing to be happy about, but I hated that she was letting it get to her this much. Especially since there was nothing I could do about it. I ran my hand down the length of my face, releasing an exasperated sigh. If there was anything I absolutely hated then it had to be this constant almost permanent state of helplessness. My entire pack was in danger but there was nothing I could do about it.We've lost about twenty werewolves and five pups in the past three weeks. No one seemed to know what had happened to them. Their dead bodies were simply just stumbled upon. At first we hadn't taken the deaths seriously. It was true that werewolves were immortal but it wasn't unheard of that a werewolf died. There were so many things that could cause a werewolf to lose their life. Natural causes, for one. That had to be the most common cause of death

    *Keera*I'd agreed to it.It was a shame really. I'd had such an iron clad resolve to not let myself be talked into helping those beasts but in the end sheer curiosity and sympathy had won against my initial determination. Trevor had set up a simple team of five. Two forensic scientists , Lexi and me, one retired firearms and weapons expert, one profiler and one bioengineer. I was a bit surprised he was willing to go to these extents just to help them out.There was something he wasn't saying.I walked into the conference room and took a calculative seat at the right side of the table. We were all having a meeting with the Alpha of the pack, and I wanted to be in a place where I would feel the most comfortable. I had spent barely ten minutes in his presence a few years ago but it had been more than enough for me to form a strong opinion about him.A strong hateful opinion.I looked up at the door when it burst open. Trevor walked in, his strides long and confident. He frowned at the e

    *Grayson*I felt all the air leave my lungs the second I locked gazes with those familiar light brown eyes. I blinked once, trying to make sense of what exactly was happening. I'd been standing at the entrance of the building when my wolf had gone mad shit crazy of a scent. Over my mate's scent. I hadn't been able to believe it at first. I had already lived a good number of years searching for my mate and she had seemed nowhere to be found. What was the probability that the first visit I made back to human territory would bring me to her? But then like any other werewolf I'd been hopeless not to follow the scent of the one the goddess had made for me. But it had led me to her. Keera. I cleared my throat, moving my gaze away from her cold and calculating one. I had to get it together in front of these humans. I walked to where Trevor was seated and shook hands with him before taking a seat beside him, making me find myself seated directly opposite to Keera. As Trevor made the introdu

    *Keera*I avoided Lexi's eyes as I packed up the things I was going to need while working my ass off to help those people. Lexi and I had bonded after working together on a couple of assignments and it seemed our bond was about to become even tighter seeing as we were about to work on yet another assignment together. We'd gone out for drinks to celebrate the success of our mission a few months back and to explain my disdain for werewolves I'd given her a summarized version of my relationship with Ginny as well as a bunch of other things that had happened in my life.Because of those people.She knew enough to know that I wasn't happy about being sent there Especially with the fact that Ginny and I had never resolved our falling out and I completely despised her cold and arrogant twin brother. Even after six years I was finding it extremely hard to get over the fact that our entire friendship had been built on such a huge lie. She had watched me get bullied by her kind on several occas

    *Grayson*I ended the call and resisted the urge to throw my phone against the wall. I'd tried my best to remain calm while I'd been on the phone with Trevor but I'd been seconds away from howling like a true beast. The entire arrangement was getting too intense already without emphasizing the fact that I needed to watch out for Keera. I wondered how the rest of the team were going to feel if they knew most of his concerns were about his precious, Keera. The headstrong stubborn woman. Who the goddess had also apparently decided was my mate.I should have known after being without a mate for so long that the goddess didn't want me with one. Because I couldn't see the reason she had picked Keera out of the thousands of humans to be the one made for me. She had to be well aware. that Keera was never given up being human no matter what. And certainly not for someone she completely despised. Which was. absolutely fine by me, anyway. I wasn't interested in being with her for the rest of my

    *Keera*"Good thing you never actually got that puppy," Lexi said from her spot at the door as I rolled the last of my suitcases down the stairs. I held a tight grip on the handle, a slight frown on my face as I walked to add the suitcase to the rest we had already gotten down the stairs. She wasn't wrong though, I thought to myself. I'd decided just three days ago that I was going to get myself a puppy from a shelter a few blocks away from my apartment building. And then the new mission happened. I couldn't even imagine having to leave her all by herself if I'd gone through with my plan. I was at work way too often for me to get friendly with the neighbors. "I guess you're right." I finally replied, raising my shoulder. I let my gaze move around the house, trying to get one last mental picture before we left. Lexi was already taking the suitcases and duffel bags out the door as I turned off the lights and turned on the alarm. I didn't know how long I was going to be away for but I k

    *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

    *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

    *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
