Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate (Adelaide) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Carter

I stepped into the office, ignoring the eyes on me as I made my way to the desk. I sat and ignored them. Everyone

seemed to know what I was doing. Yes, it was my job, but right now, it served a dual purpose; I would do my job

and then some. Nobody else would know anything but what I told them.

She had no criminal record, which didn’t surprise me. Digging deeper, I found she was an A student, across the board. Her high school records showed a few misconducts but nothing out of the ordinary. By the end of the day, 1

had paused to make rounds and come back to more of the same. I downloaded her mother’s information and sent

out a query on it. That would take some time to come back. There was no father listed on her birth record. Not

surprising, as most shifters that tangled with human women avoided it.

I packed up, eager to go home. I hadn’t heard from her all day. I suppose I shouldn’t expect it. In her mind, she

was just a house guest and I was busy at work, but I had found myself checking my phone too often to see if she

had messaged.

When I walked in, I noticed her bag by the door and she stepped out of the kitchen with her arms crossed. Rosie

sat at her side.

“I’m going home,” was all she said, staring at me with accusation.

“I don’t think they got the power turned on just yet, why?” I asked.

“I called my friend today, and she informed me you have been requesting reports on me. I thought I could trust

you, obviously, I can’t. I haven’t lied to you once. I never asked for your help, and this is what I get,” she huffed.

She walked across the room to grab her bag. Rosie whined and I caught her hand before she could grab it.

“Let me explain,” I found myself pleading.

“You don’t have to explain, Sheriff Carter, you thought I was a criminal, at least that’s how it feels,” she shot back,

pulling her hand from mine.

She crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at me. Ilaw had 1 fucked this up so bad? That’s right, she didn’t have a clue as to what she was surrounded by in this town, that I was the only one standing between her and the Alpha, who hated outsiders.
