All Chapters of His Forbidden Human Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

*Grayson*I slowly paced back and forth in my study, my mind racing as I struggled to come to terms with the unthinkable truth. Asides Keera and her team, only the council members had been aware of the cameras in the pack, and Keera was aware of that. The fact that the camera had been tampered with could only mean one thing; A council member, someone I trusted, had to be working with the killer. The very thought sent a wave of nausea through me. The cameras were way too small to draw attention on their own.And yet they'd been destroyed.How else could the killer have known they were there in the first place if they hadn't already been aware of it? I pressed my lips together in worry. I didn't want to believe that one of the council members was in on it. I stopped with the pacing and poured myself a glass of whiskey, downing it in one gulp. The burn didn't ease my tension. I needed answers and I needed them as soon as possible. I sat down behind the desk, my thoughts drifting to Keera

*Grayson*I'd been debating having a meeting with the council members. I'd trying to come up with ways to let them know the killer was near without letting them know just how near, because the truth was they weren't all involved with the killer. It was still my duty to keep those who weren't safe and I couldn't just leave them to themselves when they were completely blind to what was going on. I just needed to let them know to be on guard without getting them suspicious of each other, or worse, spooking the killer into hiding.I stepped out of my room, intent on grabbing a drink. I began heading to the upstairs kitchen but changed my mind at the last minute and headed downstairs instead. I was avoiding Keera and I didn't want to risk bumping into her. I was well aware I was acting like a dick but I still couldn't help it. Seeing her with Trevor yesterday had upset me and the image of her in his arms had lingered in my mind for a long while. I might end up mating with Ria in the future

*Grayson *Her mouth opened and closed as she struggled to find words. She must have seen the determined expression on my face because she gave up trying to get me to leave. She looked wary, her shoulders tensed and her hands clenched together. I couldn't blame her. We'd been avoiding this conversation for too long and the tension between us had grown thick enough to slice through. It felt like there was so much catching up we had to do since the last time we had spoken no more than five words to each other.I walked further into the room. She folded her arms across her chest, unconsciously pushing her breasts forward. I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to focus on what was important. I didn't think I could leave the room without touching her, but if I tried to do that first she would definitely send me back in my way. I leaned against the foot of her bedframe, mirroring her posture and crossing my legs at my ankles. "How are you? Your wounds?" I asked, moving my gaze over her body.S

*Grayson*I patiently stood behind my desk, my eyes fixed on the door as I waited for Ria to arrive. The weight of our impending conversation settled heavily in my chest. She was not going to like what I had to say to her, that's for sure. Sadly, she was just going to have to come to terms with it. I had requested for her to meet with me in my study. I didn't think I wanted her presence in my room any longer and it was easier to have the conversation in the study anyways. It would make the discussion more formal. The door opened, and Ria walked in, her expression curious. I saw the wariness in her expression as she approached me. Her eyes scanned the room, searching for clues. "Grayson, what's this about?" she asked calmly. Her voice shook a little, betraying a hint of unease. I'd made my message cryptic so she would want to see me as quickly as possible. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the conversation. "Ria, I wanted to speak with you before the council meeting," I began,

*Grayson *I tentatively stepped into the conference room, my eyes scanning the space as all the organs in my stomach twisted into large knots. Papers were scattered everywhere, chairs were overturned, the control monitor had been destroyed and the usually tidy room was in shambles. "What in the world..." I trailed off. The place was an absolute and complete mess. I moved around the room, trying to piece my thoughts together. The room looked as though a hurricane had been trapped inside.Keera's expression was cold, her eyes flashing with anger at the state of her sanctuary. "I came back for my tablet charger and found this," she explained, gesturing around the room. Her team members were moving around, trying to save whatever they could. I could sense Keera's frustration, her anger. They'd finally been getting somewhere in the case and someone had tried to jeopardize the case. This was more than just an abnormal ransacking; it was a deliberate attempt to sabotage their investigation.
