Kate Allenton by Guided Loyalty Read Free Book Online

you decide, you can reach me at that number. Now enjoy your dinner, dear. It’s time for me to take my leave.” He nodded to the men around the room. “It seems the wolves are getting restless.”
         Black left just as quietly as he’d arrived. Cathy shoved the vials into her pocket next to the tranquilizer she’d brought down for protection. Her mouth was parted, stunned with Black’s
    implications. Others moved around her, but she was trying to make sense of what had just happened and the ramifications of what she’d just learned.
         Edward appeared by her side and placed a hand on her arm. She balled her fist, swung, and hit him smack-dab in the nose. Edward stumbled backward before he righted himself. Deep menacing growls filled the air around her. “That was a stupid move, Ms. Fleming. I’m the alpha of this house.”

      She stepped closer to him and lifted her knee between his legs. He didn’t have time to stop her. He hunched over, cupping his balls. “You’re the asshole of this house.” She bent over to whisper in his ear. “You endangered not only me, but every single one of the wolves you’re in charge of taking care of, you arrogant prick. We’re done here.”
          Cathy grabbed Jonah by the arm and hauled him out of the room and over to the elevator. She jabbed at the call button until the elevator dinged its arrival.
          They stepped inside. “What happened? What was all of that?”
          She glanced up at the cameras and pointed before shaking her head. She would discuss it with him and maybe he could help her figure it out, but it wouldn’t be in the elevator or anywhere that Edward’s men were watching or listening. The elevator dinged their arrival at their floor. She
    stepped off and hurried down to Jonah’s room. She walked into the room, slammed the door behind her, and locked it. She pulled Jonah into the bathroom and started the shower.
          “What are you doing?”
          She glanced up at the ceiling and leaned in to whisper in his ear. “The water is for listening devices. Are there any cameras in here?”
          Cathy’s phone rang while she watched Jonah step up on the commode and jimmy the vent open.
          “Hello.”
          “Cathy, it’s Ethan. You need to leave.”
          Cathy lifted her hand to her ear to try and shut out the sound of the running water. “Where the hell are you!”
          “Crap there isn’t enough time…just stay put. I’m coming for you. Don’t trust—”
          The phone went out before he could finish his sentence. “Ethan…”
          She turned to find Jonah had opened all of the cabinets and was now fiddling with his watch. “I took out their security cameras just in case.”
          Cathy looked down at her phone. “It looks like you took out more than just the cameras. I can’t believe you just did that.”
          “You’ve only got about five minutes to explain before they reboot.”
          Cathy let out a long, overdue sigh of relief. She started pushing the buttons on her phone to try and get it to reboot. “What is the emergency code I need to send to get everyone to evacuate the compound through the tunnels and for them all to meet up at the Eagles nest?”
          Jonah’s brows dipped. “Why? What is going on?”

         Cathy gritted her teeth. “I don’t have time to explain. Tell me the code, Jonah, or I swear to you that, when we get back, I’m going to take a sledgehammer to every piece of electronic equipment you have.”

    Jonah shook his head. He lifted his arm and started pushing buttons on his watch. Seconds ticked by. “It’s done. Now do you care to tell me why I just evacuated the base and initiated our alert system to DEFCON five?”
         Cathy sat on the edge of the tub and
