Read Online A Mate for Gideon by Charlene Hartnady - Free Book Online Page A

it wouldn’t surprise him if she did, but she most definitely
did have a child and that automatically disqualified her from the program.
    Gideon
couldn’t take the torture anymore. It was still with extreme reluctance that he
pulled his gaze away from her mouthwatering form.
    He
had to do something about this, had to rectify the situation as a matter of
extreme urgency. Brant would want to know. There was no way in hell that she
was here for him. Taking big, long strides, it wasn’t long before he was in the
waiting area of Brant’s office.
    Allison
looked up at him. “Can help you?” She stuck the end of the pencil she was
holding into her mouth.
    “I
need to see Brant, please.”
    She
removed the pencil from her mouth, twirling it in her fingers. “Is it urgent?
Can I ask the nature of your meeting request?” She raised her brows, keeping
her eyes on him.
    “It’s
in connection with one of the human females, I believe she lied on a
questionnaire.” He decided the best way to approach this would be to stick to
the facts and to say only what was required.
    She
nodded. “Give me a sec.” She buzzed Brant and relayed the message before turning
back to him. Allison nodded. “Go on in but be aware that his next meeting is in
five minutes. That’s all I can give you.”
    Gideon
nodded, feeling relieved. Hopefully this nightmare would soon be over. Jenna
could leave and he could get on with his life. “Thank you.” He pushed out a
deep breath.
    Opening
the door, he walked into Brant’s spacious office and stood in the vicinity of
his desk.
    Brant
made him wait a full minute before even acknowledging him. His king gestured
for him to take a seat.
    “Thank
you, my lord.” He sat down. “I won’t take much of your time.”
    Brant
glanced at the watch strapped to his arm before lifting his dark eyes back to
Gideon. “Good, because you’ve got four minutes. I have an important conference
call.”
    Gideon
nodded. “It’s about one of the human females…I believe her name is Jenna. I’m
not sure of her surname.” He lied.
    Brant’s
eyes immediately narrowed and darkened. “What of her?”
    Gideon
sat back in the chair and forced himself to take a calm breath before releasing
it. Hoping he looked better than what he felt. “I recognized her when I first
saw her…that’s why I questioned her. It’s only just occurred to me where I saw
her before. She lied on a questionnaire.”
    Brant
frowned. “In what way?” He barked. “And since when have you been mingling with
human females?” He raised his brows while leaning forward.
    “We
need to enter Sweetwater from time to time. It was on one of those trips that I
ran into this female. I recognized her scent. Like I said, it has taken me
three days to place her. I have not mingled with any humans.” He lied again.
“Her belly was swollen with child and she was with a male…I’m sure he was her
mate.” Everything in him tightened and he had to force himself not to clench
his teeth or to growl.
    Brant
smiled, glancing at his watch for a second time. “You were mistaken. This can’t
be the same human. I never relied on the information from the questionnaires. I
am well aware that humans sometimes lie. Every single female was checked.
Certificates, medical records, prison records, you name it and we checked it.
None of the females currently within the program are mated and none of them have
children. Some of them were previously mated. This is common amongst humans. No
females have children. Of this I am certain. Now get the fuck out of my
office.” He gave Gideon a broad smile. “I bet you are wishing you joined, after
all.”
    Gideon
shook his head. “No way,” he growled, using a little too much force.
    Brant’s
smile widened. “Like fuck. Have you taken a good look at those females? They
are all spectacular. You should consider joining in on the next round.”
    Gideon
shook his head again. “I don’t think so, my lord.”
    Allison
