walked into the gym. His
face lost its wide grin when he saw his bride in a heap on the floor, gasping
for breath next to his sister. He shoved Cat out of the way and reached for his
mate. The Wolf peering out of his eyes was just as enraged as the man.
“What the heck did you do to her?! Carlotta? Oh my God,
baby, sit up!”
“Chill dude, she’s laughing,” Cat slapped her brother on the
arm and rolled her eyes when he growled. Freaking Alpha males always showing
their dominance.
“Yeah, yeah, I know, you the man!,” still she bared her
throat to him and averted her gaze. Rafe was not playing.
“Rafe, baby, I’m okay, really! We were just being silly,”
she reached up and stroked his face. The tenderness in that small movement was
too much for Cat, so she turned around.
She felt like a voyeur watching them. However innocent the
touch, it was full of something intimate. It was sacred and private. She had no
right to that moment. It was theirs, made just for the two of them.
Cat sighed. If only that sort of thing was in the cards for
her.
“But since you’re here, don’t you think you should tell
her?,” Charley had her arms around her husband and was perched in his lap
stroking his face when she asked the question.
Cat could tell from his body language alone that conversing
with his sister was the last thing on his mind right then.
“Um, yeah, okay. Uh, Cat? You got a minute?”
CHAPTER 5
“What? Hell no! I’m a goddamn police officer Rafe, I don’t
need a friggin’ bodyguard!”
Cat’s emotions were all over the place. Anger, annoyance,
outrage, insecurity, disbelief, fear, then back to anger. Still she never
looked her Alpha in the eyes and never made a move to challenge him. She had
too much respect for her brother to act that way. Besides it was a contest she
would never win.
“Language please,” Charley’s sing song voice interrupted
Cat’s tirade.
Cat tried to control her temper, but even her Wolf was
miffed. Her feelings were always clearer to Cat when the full moon was close.
She counted to ten in her head. She needed to be calm to get
anywhere with her brother. Otherwise he would just dig his heels in. And she had
no wish to fight, but come on!
“Look, we’ve picked up some good intel here and it’s
possible you’re being targeted as a means to get to me.”
“So friggin’ what? I can handle it, Rafe!”
“You’re my sister Cat,” he sighed heavily and wiped his face
with his enormous hands. Geez, he was big, at least three of her width wise.
Almost twice the size of the rest of the men in the Pack.
“Yeah, I’m your sister. You taught me well. I can take care
of myself !”
“BUT you are also my Wolf. I am the Alpha, you will obey me,
Catriona!,” the command in his voice made her waver where she stood. It didn’t
hurt exactly, but it was strong and it held her still when she wanted to turn
away. She whined in her throat and averted her gaze. Damn Alpha!
“Yes, sir!,” she said with clenched teeth.
“You will have a shadow everywhere you go. Now, I worked it
out with Matt Larentia, you will take the next month off.”
“Lt. Larentia? But-”
“No buts, Cat. You’ll do this my way.”
“Fine.”
Cat stormed out of the office and slammed the door. She didn’t
have to use her supernatural senses to guess the expression on Rafe’s face.
No doubt Charley was holding him down with nothing more than
a sweet word or smile. Bless her!
Cat knew she overstepped, but she couldn’t help herself. She
stalked across the house to her room and made her way to the shower.
The hot spray hit her body and Cat sighed. She was tense.
Even after her workout. She scrubbed her body with the vanilla-tangerine
scented body wash Charley had purchased for her.
It reminded Cat of flavored frozen custard on the Boardwalk.
She closed her eyes and exhaled. Memories played through her mind. Games,
rides, frozen custard, and cotton candy. She used to sneak off and follow
