Chapter Seven

Stavion watched Jory devour his waffles and hotdogs. “So, you like them?”

“They’re awesome!”

Elation welled up inside of him, pushing away his anger at the life Jory had been forced to lead until he’d come to live with Stavion. The little man was the epitome of everything that was good and right in the world. Thinking of the hell Jory had lived through made Stavion’s stomach burn. Who reached the age of nineteen without having ever eaten a waffle?

“Can I ask you something?”

Stavion studied his mate for a moment and nodded.

“How come you were gone for so long?” Jory bit his lip and looked down at his plate as his cheeks blazed scarlet.

“Did you miss me?” Stavion didn’t want the guy to be embarrassed. He wasn’t teasing, either. He was very curious about whether or not Jory had thought of him while he was away.

“Yes,” Jory whispered after a significant pause. “I kind of got used to you coming to visit me every night.”

Instead of jumping up from the small table and dancing around the room like a jackass, Stavion settled for a beaming smile. “I missed you, too, Jory. I had some business to take care of before I could come home.”

When he looked up, Jory’s eyebrows were drawn together, and he seemed to be debating something. Stavion waited, giving his mate the chance to work through what he wanted to ask. Finally, Jory shook his head and sighed. “I don’t know if I’m allowed to ask this, but Caution: Contents Under Pressure

what kind of business was it?”

“We’re mates, which means you can ask me anything.” Stavion reached across the table and held his hand palm up, thrilled when Jory immediately took it and gave it a little squeeze. “I have no secrets from you,” Stavion continued. “I received a mating contract from a coven leader in Washington for Malakai.”

Jory’s eyes went wide and his mouth fell open. “Someone bought him like they bought me?”

Stavion winced, but he supposed that was mostly true. The laws of his kind had been in place for hundreds of years, and some of them—

like the mating contracts—were beyond outdated. “I guess you’re right. Malakai stayed behind in Georgia with his mates. Normally, a mating bond will overrule an offered contract.”

“Okay, I still don’t understand why you didn’t come home right after the wedding.”

“I had to meet with The Council about an assignment. Though I’m leader of this coven, I still command the other Enforcers. They’ve located a vampire coven in Montana that needs to be brought before the elders.”

Jory actually growled at him, and Stavion’s cock perked up to take notice of the sexy sound. “Stavion, you’re not making any sense.

How are the two related?”

“Malakai must be claimed by both of his mates or the contract will be honored. The Council offered the assignment of bringing in this coven leader to Flynn Murphy, one of Malakai’s mates. I was trying to persuade them to choose someone else.”

“Because Flynn can’t claim Malakai if he’s not there.
