protection
than I can give you. These men are from a budding business in security,
protection, and investigation, among other things. They have generously offered
their services, and given the auspicious timing of their inquiries for their
business, I believe they are the men for the job.”
    As much as she would normally disagree and argue with
her father about trusting complete strangers with her welfare, not to mention
without her permission or even so much as discussing it with her first, Bronya couldn’t formulate a response that could turn away
the man she was so intensely attracted to.
    Her father didn’t wait for a response, he continued.
“While you were out, your mother went to the house and packed what clothes you
have. Your bag is already waiting in the trunk of their vehicle. Would there be
anything she wouldn’t have packed that you would want?” With the quiet shake of
her head her father turned to face the two men. “All right then. I expect you
to take exceptional care of my daughter.” Her father got up and crossed the
room to her. She stood up and let him give her a hug, and as she turned her
mother did the same.
    “Miss Webber.” Bronya was
drawn by the magnetism Nix had when he addressed her, “You’ll need to leave
your cell here. If you want to make any calls, we could make the necessary
arrangements.”
    Digging into her pocket, she pulled out her cell and
placed it on the table, then feeling the heat from Nix’s hand on the small of
her back, she let them usher her out of the building and into their car. She
really didn’t know what to say and she really didn’t like to be a drama queen,
so she stayed quiet and tried to relax.
    Nix sat in the seat next to
her while Enzo sat behind the wheel. While everyone fastened their seatbelts,
she tried to pay attention to Nix’s instructions. Bronya felt tired. Nix must have picked up on it because he soon stopped talking as
they headed out of the city.

Chapter Six
     
    Friday after sundown
     
    Dultyn came out of his roost and stretched his muscles, filling his lungs with air and
scenting for his mate. Severe disappointment stabbed through him when he didn’t
scent her. She didn’t visit today .
Worry and concern flooded him, and mingled with the heavy ache in his heart.
    Dultyn quickly made his way toward the house with Bogdan and Stelios quietly beside
him. His emotions were all over the place as he remembered she hadn’t returned
home by the time he was forced to roost. Did
she return at all? Is she still out there? Could she be hurt? He didn’t want her to be hurt or
missing, but the knowledge that she may have chosen not to see him, hurt him more. Worry for her health was a simple matter of tracking
down whoever took her and killing them, slowly, but if she was safe and refused
to see him of her own will, well that cut deeply. Even if it was what he
basically what he wanted. But after thinking of it last night, he was considering   revising his logic.
    Dultyn threw open the door and let it bang against the little metal doorstop. Its
twang echoed through the entryway behind him as he searched the house for
Havana. Not seeing or hearing her anywhere, he hurried to the office where Alphy was talking with Enzo, Slate, Matteo and Ryker.
    Alphy turned and looked at him as he entered, “ Dultyn ,
what’s the matter?” His voice was calm like the alpha was trying to soothe him.
No doubt he probably looked like he needed to be, but there wouldn’t be any
soothing until he knew she was safe.
    “Where’s Havana?”
    “I don’t know. She came home briefly this morning and
took a shower, then headed out. We figured she was out in the barn with you
like she had been before.” Alphy was already taking
his phone out as he spoke. After he dialed a number and put the phone to his
ear, there was a pregnant pause as they waited for it to be answered. With
their sensitive hearing, a cell phone ringing could be heard. Dultyn knew it was coming from
