AARON

I don’t like being personally summoned to the Council meeting

at the best of times, let alone when I’m sure someone on the

Council is trying to kill me.

Not that these kinds of summons have happened frequently

in the past. I’ve never done anything to cause trouble with the Council, attending previous meetings

was usually just a formality.

But this Council Meeting hasn’t fallen on a regular date, it’s a special session.

The fact that I’ve been personally directed to attend can’t be

a good sign.

I sent a message to James-not trusting myself to talk with

Leah directly-instructing him to make sure Leah attends, and

to bring her at least a few hours early.

We need to get to the bottom of this Al weapons thing, and even though I think we’re better off apart

because that way,

she’s safer, there’s no arguing that Leah and I work well as a

team.

If we can put this matter of the missing Al tech to rest, then

after, we won’t have much reason to have direct contact.

Safer for Leah, at least.

The idea that someone might kill Leah in an attempt to hurt

or even kill me through our mating bond is both terrifying and

infuriating.

Maybe one day in the future when I’ve neutralized the threat,

the two of us will have healed enough to consider reconciling,

but right now, this is the way it has to be.

I will protect her, even if it means sacrificing my own sanity.

As long as she’s alive and safe somewhere in the world, that’s the most important thing.

My inner wolf is impatient to leave and see our mate as I

shower and dress.

Telling him to calm the hell down-that nothing is going to

happen between us-does absolutely nothing to dampen his

enthusiasm.

Once I’m ready to leave, I go to tell Lillian goodbye, where she’s sitting in the quiet serenity of the

bedroom, and I wish I could stay in that room so badly, it’s a physical ache in my

chest.

But I shake off the longing and head out, driving myself to the

Council Meeting Hall with half a contingent of my guys, while

the other half stay back to protect the cabin.

mostly empty lot, sending a message to James instructing him.

to do the same.

Then it’s a matter of waiting, and I’m a live wire of

anticipation, frustration and impatience.

Eventually, a small convoy of Rathborn SUVS roll into the lot, and I subtly tug my jacket straight, even

though I know I look impeccable.

I remain standing by the back of my SUV as James gets out, cutting me a barely civil look, before going

around to open the door for Leah.

And then she’s emerging and I’m frozen to the spot as I take

her in.

She’s wearing a long, slinky red dress, the material clinging and flowing over her curves like water,

barely leaving anything to the imagination. She’s not wearing a bra, that’s obvious in the way her

nipples are pebbled and peaking beneath the material, as if begging for attention from my

mouth.

I wonder if she’s wearing panties, and the heat that storms through me almost sends me to my knees

right there for

everyone to see.

My mate is gorgeous, se xy, delectable beyond words.

I love her more than I thought it possible to ever love

someone.

My pulse is pounding.

My blood is rushing hard and hot through my body.

My wolf is practically panting for his mate.

I’m half-hard.

I want to confess everything to her, if only she’ll tell me she

loves me back.

And I have no idea how I’m going to get through the next few hours and keep my sanity intact.
