Chapter 32

Bronx’s POV

Milo’s “emergency” was that one of the pups went “missing” when everyone was leaving the safe room. The little boy turned out to be in the kitchen, where Mrs. Miller was keeping him calm with milk and cookies until his parents could track him down.

As I leave the kitchen, I’m stopped by a group of guards who want to make sure I am up to speed on the rogues, they found on the northern border. I pretend to listen as patiently as possible, but I don’t really hear anything they’re saying. I preoccupy my mind with Kas, waiting upstairs in the apartment for me. Saint becomes more and more irritated, pacing back and forth in my mind as the guards drone on and on. 1

“Alright guys, file a report, give it to Beta Milo. He will compile everything for me. Thank you for your service,” I hastily shake their hands and try to make my way back upstairs.

As I reach the bottom of the staircase, Musu and Lenora come rushing up, begging me to go to Lenora’s office. I close my eye and take a deep breath before agreeing to go with them.

“The Goddess is really testing us this time, Bronx,” Saint groans impatiently in my mind.

“You’re telling me, buddy,” I shake my head even though I am agreeing with him.

“Baby, it looks like I’m going to have to ask for a raincheck,” I mind link Kas as I follow Lenora and Musu up to the fourth floor.

“Aww, that's a shame, Sweetheart,” she pouts before she flashes a dirty image of the two of us into my mind, “I mean, if you can’t make it, you can’t make it. Maybe I will just have to have a party with myself up here.” 1

Oh. My. Goddess.

I stop at the bottom of the stairs to the fifth floor, extremely tempted to ditch Lenora and go to Kas, but Lenora grabs my hand and pulls me to her office. I give her a pleading look before I look back up the stairs with a little whine.

“Listen, Loverboy, this is important and related to your mate,” Lenora growls as she drags me, “So get your mind out of the gutter and focus for a few minutes.”
