Chapter 14
Cat
I bit my lip and stared at a blur of paperwork in front of me which were the reports that Rawklix asked me to collect on the case against Akrawn and then rubbed my temples.
I will never be Akrawn’s mate!
That both Akrawn and Rawklix called me this made my blood boil. I wouldn’t be a broodmare to beget new Trilyns. No way would I give up my career as an SFPD inspector. I adored fighting to keep my city’s streets safe, free from criminal activity.
As much as my thoughts kept revolving around a pair of divine gold eyes and the things he did to my body, my dreams were grander than motherhood. I had ambitions of making San Francisco a safer place to live. I ground my teeth remembering Akrawn’s and my hairy race through the mission district and that brute who had held a knife to my throat. The wound, though not deep, still ached. There was no chance that I would settle down with that alien no matter how adorable I thought he was.
The chief assigned me to watch security holos to look for potential threats while President Darling presided at an award ceremony. This was what I needed to concentrate on. I need to stop dwelling on Akrawn and how I want him to kiss and sing to me.
Damn it. I shivered because I couldn’t help but desire him and his moist and hot mouth.
Stop it, Cat! You are not his ‘mate’. Get your head into your work. Scan that holo, now.
Brontsen called me through Peri.
“Did you learn anything from Akrawn?”
I sighed. “No sir. He asked for an attorney and his brother, Prince Rawklix, is with Akrawn in an interrogation room consulting with him.”
Brontsen rubbed his neck. “Why?”
“Because Prince Rawklix is his lawyer.”
Brontsen muttered, “The alien lawyered up? Incredible. And what are you doing now?”
“Watching the security set-up by holo as you instructed, sir.”
“Keep me informed,” he growled. My captain severed the connection.
“Peri,” I leaned back in my chair, “please render a holo of the live award ceremony of President Nicole Darling’s opening speech.” My voice came out a little too husky, but I doubted Peri noticed.
“Cat?” said Prince Rawklix from behind me, causing me to jump. “You told me you’d have the police reports ready by the time I finished my chat with Akrawn?”
I tore my gaze away from watching the screen-sized holo of President Darling. I then swiveled in my chair to meet his brilliant blue eyes as he weaved purposely toward me through the maze of empty desks in the open-plan office.
“Yes, they’re here, your Highness. How did it go with Akrawn?”
He had lost his usual smirk. Was Akrawn in more serious trouble than either of us had expected?
“My brother made a serious charge.”
“What charge?”
“He said, well never mind. I’m sure we’ll clear it up soon. My, don’t you look delicious in your uniform.” The smirk returned.
I half-smiled as I handed over the report. Rawklix was just like every other teen trying to act more grown-up than he was.
