Raptor
When Alpha Leo’s trial ended, I made sure Alpha Leo was returned to his cell before texting Tracker.
Me: Meet me at the hotel. I’m right behind you.
Tracker: Reservation is under your name?
Me: Mr. and Mrs. Petrelis.
I grin waiting for her response.
Tracker: That’s ballsy.
Me: I go after what I want and what I want is you.
Tracker: Then come and get me.
I growl as I head to Councilman Edward’s chambers. He told me this morning that he wanted to see me before approving my time off.
“You’ve requested a couple of days off, Raptor. Is everything okay? You never request time off,” he asks when I’m standing at parade rest in front of his desk.
“I found my mate, sir,” I tell him.
He raises an eyebrow.
“You’re one of our best enforcers, Raptor. I hope this doesn’t mean that we’re going to lose you,” he says.”I would hope not either, sir. I intended to have a conversation with you about this after my vacation days.
Tracker is my mate. I met her and identified her as my mate when I went to the Academy to find Alpha Leo.”
“She’s still at the Academy. She has a couple of years left before she’s at your level, Raptor.”
“Yes sir, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t be together while we continue to work for the Council in our respective areas.”
“And how does Tracker feel about this?” he asks.
“We’re taking the next couple of days to get to know each other, but she seems quite willing to accept the mate bond, as am I,” I tell him.
“You both have until Wednesday. On Wednesday, l’d like to see you both here to talk about your decision and next steps. I’ll let the other Council members know. If the two of you accept each other, think about where you’d prefer to live. It will have to be close to the Academy and Tracker will have to put firewalls around whatever living space the two of you have.”
“Yes sir,” I say.
When I’m dismissed, I walk quickly to my car. I’m dying to see my mate, to finally be able to kiss her and devour her the way my body is craving. The hotel isn’t far and I text her when I’m in the car. Me : on my way. Tracker: Room 802. Nice view.
I might have spent a little extra money so I could impress her. This is important for both of us and I want her to know that finding my mate is very important to me.
When I park, I grab my bag and quickly head inside. I find the elevators and wait impatiently for the elevator to come to the bottom floor. Once it does, I quickly push the button for the eighth floor.
I follow the arrows to room 802 and knock.
The door opens, but Fracker must be standing behind it. I step in and turn as she closes the door. My dick instantly goes hard and I’m pretty sure I rattle the walls with the possessive growl that erupts from my chest.
I drop my bag on the floor and take my time looking over my mate’s naked body. Her nipples pucker as if she can feel the weight of my stare on her breasts and the scent of her arousal is increasing quickly.
“Something on your mind?” I ask her.
“You said you go after what you want, and I liked the dress I was wearing in court today. I didn’t want you ripping it off of me,” she purrs.
I close the distance between us, taking her mouth in a passionate kiss as I slam her against the wall. Her hands come between us, and she rips my shirt open, the buttons flying all over the room.
