Nadeeya.
As they walked away, she glanced over her shoulder at the blonde. The woman stared at her with enough hatred to make her uneasy. “She got a problem with humans?”
Karel shook his head. “She’s got a problem with not getting her way. She’ll learn soon enough that Alyx has a mind of his own.”
“The Alion king,” Bella said. “In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight,” she singsonged. “I wonder if he looks anything like our lions.”
“Alyx does look like a larger, stronger, fiercer version of a lion on Earth. Three times their size. Faster. Angrier. And an all-around pain in the ass.”
Bella laughed as she walked. “You sound like someone who knows him well.”
Karel sighed. “Alyx and I grew up together. I’ve been his best friend and head of security for as long as I can remember.”
“Does that mean you’re a lion too?” she asked, curious.
“I am actually born of the Yagura tribe. Your humans call us jaguars.”
She gasped. “You’re a jaguar shifter?”
He nodded.
“I thought jaguars were solitary animals?” she asked, confused and interested to learn more.
“They are on your planet. Here, we have a high tolerance for living in groups. My parents and Alyx’s parents were best friends. Naturally we grew up together. We are best friends. I became his right hand. His security chief.”
“Charlotte and I are like that,” she said, thinking of her best friend. Since they were little girls, they’d been there for each other. “She’s taking care of my cat while I’m here. She’d love to come visit…” She sighed. “She loves adventures. Maybe one of these days Gerri will give me permission to bring her along.” She glanced around the open courtyard that led into the garden. “This place is so magical. I love the fact everything is so colorful. The trees are purple. Purple! And your flowers are every color of the rainbow,” she gushed, glancing at the different flowers on their path. “Some of these are several colors. How’s that even possible?”
He laughed and shook his head. “I couldn’t tell you. This is how it’s always been.”
She followed him down a path that had taller plants with flowers the size of her head. “I’m usually allergic to certain flowers, but so far, I don’t feel anything bothering me.”
“Our atmosphere is a lot cleaner than yours. But if you experience any discomforts with allergies or illness, let us know, and we’ll be sure to get you something to make it better.”
Her curiosity over Trey was digging a hole in her brain, and she couldn’t stop herself from asking Karel about the lion. “Do you know who Trey is?”
Karel frowned for a second. Shit. Maybe she wasn’t supposed to ask. Dammit, but she wanted to know where the hell he was.
“I do know him. Have known him all my life,” he finally replied.
“Is he around?” She tried for casual, but knew it came off as nosy.
“Trey is...” Karel trailed off and sighed. “Right ahead of us.”
She searched ahead but didn’t see anyone. Suddenly, the giant marched out from between the trees. He zeroed in on them and sped up. Her heart did flip flops in her chest, and her temperature shot out of orbit from the single hot look he gave her.
“Bella,” he said, the sound of his deep, rumbly voice waking every hormone in her body.
Karel turned to face her. “It was lovely talking to you, Bella.”
She nodded, smiling at Karel. “Thanks for showing me around.”
“My pleasure,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll see you later for dinner.”
“Sure. See you later.” She watched him retreat and nod at Trey. That had to be some kind of guy code.
She turned to face Trey, and he didn’t waste time. He cupped her face in his hands and brought his head down for a kiss. She didn’t think to fight it. Hell, she wouldn’t want to. She rose to her tiptoes and plastered her body onto his. She curled her arms around his neck and gripped his hair
