he’d tasted his
fill, he wiped her skin and then his mouth.  He buttoned the dress and
straightened it.  “Go and sit in the chair please, Zoe.  Now, you said that
Bryant stares at Lauren.”  He began when she’d settled.  “Does he do this for
long periods of time?”  She nodded.  “Does he ever follow her out of the
building?”  Zoe nodded again, still staring off into space.  “Do you ever
notice that he eyes change color?”  Zoe’s head wobbled forward and back
woodenly.  “Good.  I want to meet her Zoe, do your best work to bring her to me
or be punished for failing.”  She nodded again and got up.  She walked to the
elevator and pushed the button.  “And Zoe,” he called after her.  She turned to
look at him again.  “Have a good night.”  That was her signal to snap out of
the trance and to follow her instructions.  Zoe waved and stepped into the
elevator.  She’d eaten seafood and had a lot of wine for dinner.  It made him
heady and he sat.  Bryant found his mate but the prophecy was still out there. 
He was the most powerful alpha physically in a millennia, he was also the most
powerful of his line in business for the time being.  Louis never succeeded as
Jacob had, not to dismiss Louis’ efforts.  He’d made them a fortune back in the
day when the family business was in construction.  Louis had almost lost it all
just as easily when his mate was killed in a car accident.  All of his focus
and determination faded.  When Jacob graduated college, Louis had only the
estate left which he mortgaged betting it all on his grandson.  It was a good
bet, Jacob was an overnight success.  He’d left school with degrees in
Business, Computer Science, and Economics.  Jacob was extremely intelligent.  Ulric
was smart for his day but he wouldn’t hold a candle to his heir.  He pondered
whether or not Lauren knew that she was Bryant’s mate.  Devlin was sure that
she was human, but he’d never been close enough to scent wolf or human on her.  Soon .  Zoe would bring her and he would not only milk her for
information but hold her as leverage.  Zoe said that Lauren wouldn’t go out
with them to the pub or to lunch.  She said that Lauren always ate salad and
fruit at her desk.  Did he dare hope that she was a health nut?  Clean blood at
last?  Perhaps he would have her for supper instead.  If she proved compliant
and if she tasted good, Zoe would no longer be useful.  Perhaps, Zoe would be
no more.  The thought curled his lips sadistically.  There was nothing like old
fashioned bloodshed to perk a fellow up. 

Chapter 6
     
    Lauren did her
laundry and tidied her apartment.  It was Sunday evening and she hoped to hear
from Jake soon but knew she probably wouldn’t see him until tomorrow morning. 
Their night together was more than she would’ve ever have hoped.  That man was
certainly talented in bed.  She smiled to herself for not the first time since
leaving him but she’d cried as well.  To see that lovely old man lying in a
pool of his own blood was devastating.  He’d been the silver grey wolf that
she’d scratched behind the ears, Lauren realized that now.  The small red one
that nudged her hand was the same one that hopped up on the bed after her
shower and that was Dora.  Lauren saw her tilt her head the same way at the
breakfast table and even though she didn’t make the connection then, it was
obvious now.  She felt so badly for all of them.  His mother said that mates
were ‘forever’ Moments after her forever died next to her father.  She was the
strong woman not Lauren.  She would’ve died right there with him, she thought. 
Jake never said whether the girls were found but Lauren assumed that they were
since he was so calm in bed yesterday evening.  Then he’d sent her home.  He
didn’t drive her and say goodbye properly, but put her in the hands of a
chauffeur.  It didn’t anger Lauren but it did make her a little sad.
