alone. She grinned at Bran, who rolled his eyes. What took you so long in getting up here? Kate asked. The blond vampire, whose name I found out is Bryn, looked scared that we were mad about being kept waiting. When I mentioned Gabriel s name, he looked like he wanted to cry, so I tried to make him feel better. He really was doing a great job. He and Radek, the dark-haired vampire, probably thought we were just trying to cut the line, she said in almost one breath. Aleks shook his head. No matter how many times she did it, he loved to hear her cute rambles. When the first few bars from Wobble started playing, Rian, Ashby, Damian, Rebecca, and Kate yelled and dashed for the steps to make it down to the dance floor. Nicholas and the others laughed and watched them from the balcony. Aleks watched as Rebecca moved from side to side and swayed her body to the music. He found himself smiling when she smiled and straining to hear her laughter. When she rotated her hips, he growled and his pants seemed to grow just a bit tighter. An auburn-haired vampire appeared at the door. Sir, Prince Gabriel will see you now, he said. Aleks had to grind his teeth. The way it was said made him feel like a subject being summoned. Liam placed a hand on his shoulder. Aleks looked at him, from the sour expressions on his and Bran s faces he could tell they felt the same. They were led to an office on the third floor. The man stopped and knocked on the door before swinging it open and ushering them inside. Behind the ebony desk sat an extremely pale and extraordinarily handsome man. Aleks stepped forward and inclined his head in greeting. The man raised an eyebrow before indicating to the black leather chairs. The three men sat down. That will be all, Noel, Gabriel said. Noel bowed and left the room. Bran McGregor, mated to Kate Edwards. Alpha of the Arkadion wolf pack. Fought and killed your father to take the title of Alpha twenty years ago and have been having trouble with pack members with the arrival of your mate Kate, Gabriel said as he read from a folder. He tossed it down and picked up the next. Liam Lewenhart, unmated. Alpha of the Arkadion lion pride. There seemed to be an issue with your views on sexual orientation. When you were successful in the dominance fight with your Father, the entire elder generation left, rather than have you as Alpha. The Arkadion Alpha Mother supported you. You opened up your pride to those who had been kicked out of their own prides for being gay. You run a pride comprised solely of males. He raised a single brow at Liam and set the folder down. And finally Aleksander Arkadion. You are the eldest amongst your brothers, which makes you heir to the Alpha position. You served in an all-shifter unit in the Raleigh police force before returning home to take up position as sheriff. You have recently mated to one Rebecca Morgan. The first human I have met in many centuries with a nearly pure aura. I had the pleasure of meeting her in the bookshop. He set the last folder down, leaned back, and folded his hands in front of him. You seem to know us pretty well, Bran said in a tight voice. Those are only the bare essentials. The other folders have your bank information, blood type, and what you ate for breakfast this morning, he said, taking time to look each of them in the eye. What I don t know is why you requested a meeting with me, he said. Why did you move your coven so close to Arkadia? Aleks started. I don t see how I have to explain anything to you, Gabriel said coldly. I don t like unknowns. I m having too many problems with the damn hyenas who decided to go bat-shit crazy out of nowhere, Aleks said heatedly. Gabriel sat forward. You either are completely oblivious to what has been going on or a damn good actor, he said. You obviously know something we don t. If it pertains to the hyenas or why they have been going after Rebecca, you need to tell me. Or you can keep acting like an asshole and I get to beat it out of you, Aleks said grimly. Bran groaned and Liam smacked his forehead with his hand. Gabriel s mouth twitched. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
