“How could they contact him?”
“See the option on the top right of the information card, Send Message. The same option is on everybody’s information card. Speaking of which, let me just check to see if I have any.” She double-clicked on her own card and saw a notice that she had fifty-seven messages.
“Fifty-seven?”
“It’ll just be people wanting to know if the mating’s kosher and all that. All I’m interested in is whether Shaya and Caleb have been in touch.” It turned out that they had both been in touch. Again they both expressed concern about her safety and tried convincing her that she was wrong about Kodak being her true mate, asking to meet up with her so they could all talk. “I think that’s exactly what I’m going to have to do.”
“What?”
“Meet up with them. They’re not buying that the mating is real. If they hear it from my mouth, if I can convince them that I’m fine and Kodak doesn’t intend to hurt me, then maybe they’ll accept it. They’re both tenacious bastards, they won’t let this go.”
Rhett sighed. “I doubt Kodak will let you leave the property.”
Let her leave? Snort. She leaned back in her chair and folded her arms. “Actually I was thinking that if they see me here in this setting it might be more believable for them.”
“You’re probably right there. Okay, you got time to help me with this before you go ask Kodak?”
“Sure.”
Kodak looked up from an old photograph of his dead mother when he heard the knock on his office door. “Come in.” As he expected, Tao strolled inside. He had also anticipated Dante tagging along since he was a nosy bastard. Both wolves took the seats in front of Kodak’s thick oak desk. Shoving the photo underneath the slip of papers beside it, he focused his attention on Tao.
“I’m electing you as Lovette’s personal bodyguard.” The Head Enforcer nodded agreeably, which sort of stunned Kodak. “You know what this means, don’t you? I’ll need to pull you away from your usual duties because your main priority will be Lovette’s safety.”
“Someone else will become Head Enforcer, I know,” said Tao with a nod.
“I was sort of expecting a protest.”
Tao shrugged. “I considered it an honor when I was made Head Enforcer and I enjoy that position, but it will be just as much an honor to be my Alpha female’s bodyguard. Besides, Lovette’s interesting to be around,” he added with a smile.
Kodak arched a brow. “I hope that’s all you find her to be.”
“Isn’t it going to be a bad idea for you to have someone else looking out for her?” Dante asked rhetorically.
“Why would it be?”
He sighed. “Because it’s your job as her mate to be her protector and it will nettle your protective instincts – not to mention your wolf – if you ignore that.”
“I’m not ignoring it. I’m assigning someone to watch over her which means I’m addressing the issue of her safety. Protective instinct covered.” Kodak had kept his tone aloof and cool, but the way Dante narrowed his eyes told him that he was seeing more than Kodak wanted him to.
“Speaking of Lovette, you might want to come see what her and Rhett set up.”
“Set up?”
“On the computer. Come see.”
Minutes later many of the pack were crowded into Rhett’s bedroom as he showed them their pack web and explained everything about how it worked and how it would benefit the pack. He then showed the others how to use it and introduced them to the public blog for their pack.
“Well, what do you think?” asked Rhett.
“This was your idea?” Kodak asked Lovette, impressed.
“And Rhett’s. It was a joint project.”
“I had no idea other packs had this kind of stuff,” said Dante, sounding a little awed. “How long ago did your dad set his web up?”
Lovette jiggled her head as she thought on it. “Five years ago, maybe?”
“It’s good,” said Kodak, “really good.”
Tao draped an arm over her shoulders. “Guess who’s been assigned to you as your bodyguard?”
“I need a bodyguard?”
“No, but most Alphas have them. In reality, bodyguards are more like hovering slaves.”
“And you’re happy to be a hovering slave?”
