Chapter 126
My lips met Grace’s again. She melted at my touch. All I wanted to do was kiss her. Take her right here, right now. I slipped my hand under her dress and pushed her farther into the wall. There was nothing about this woman that didn’t arouse me, and I regretted not being allowed in her shower just a couple hours ago. I had barely been able to focus on anything since we sat down in that office.
“Ahem.”
I jumped away from Grace as her cheeks turned a bright red, and you fidgeted with her dress, pulling it down as low as she could.
I turned to glare at my brother, who stood in the doorway of the hallway, arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
“Can we help you?” I asked in annoyance.
“I thought you were working,” Sawyer grumbled in irritation. “I didn’t know the hallway was off limits.”
“We were working.” I shot back. How dare he insinuate that I didn’t work hard?
“Yea, looks like it.” Sawyer rolled his eyes, clearly still in a mood.
“What are you doing up?” I asked. “You’re supposed to be resting.”
“What does it look like? I came to help.”
“Sawyer…” Grace’s timid voice cut in sympathetically. “You need to rest. You’ll be back soon enough.”
“You haven’t rested since you killed your ‘brother‘, so I don’t want to hear it.” Sawyer snapped at her.
“Hey! Uncalled for.” I snapped at him. “Out of line, Sawyer!”
“Rhys.” Grace soothed, her hand on my back, immediately calming my wolf.
“Just go on in, we’ll be in a moment,” I said through gritted teeth, annoyed that he had interrupted our moment, but also that I knew he had unintentionally wrecked Grace’s confidence again.
“Maybe I should go back and help with the kids…” She said when the door shut behind Sawyer.
“You belong in that room, Gracie. Especially during the discussions. Your memory is impeccable, and you offer a different perspective. You lived in their pack.”
“But so did Maizie and Michael.” She mumbled under her breath.
I grabbed her chin and forced her to look at me. “And they will be useful to talk about the program they were kept in, but you had a different experience and that is worth something too.”
With one last kiss, I pulled Grace back into the room, smirking because I knew she was slightly hot and bothered, but that just boded well for our later surprise. I couldn’t remember ever being so excited about literally anything in my entire life. But it would have to wait. We had business to conduct now.
“Okay, let’s get to it,” I said as I sat back down at my desk. “Does anyone have anything new to add to our boards today?”
A chorus of no’s and not really’s met my ears, and
ran my hand tiredly over my face.

Since the first day, there was very little to add to our evidence. We didn’t know what to ask our three Lycans. There have been no mov Blood Moon pack. We had surveillance set–up nearly everywhere, but none of it was really helping us yet. I had two of my top security tracking anything weird and looking for patterns. But after several weeks, it was clear that they were being more careful for the time being and had all but disappeared off our
radar.
“Do you have to die to become a Lycan like Vampires do?” Grace asked as she stared at the picture of a vampire that Maizie had drawn on her paper.
