Chapter Fifteen

"Stay behind me." His body grew rigid, and I could see that he wanted to shift but held himself back.

"Who is it?" I whispered.

"The Valderes."

"Oh, they probably just want to make sure I'm okay."

Several large men who wore suits and dark sunglasses got out of the SUVs and stood on each side of the limo door. I'd never seen either of them, but I had no doubt they worked for Bronson.

A man opened the limo door and out stepped Bronson Valdere dressed in a dark suit similar to the others but of finer quality. He also wore sunglasses. Something felt strangely familiar about Bronson, and it caused shivers to break out on the back of my neck. He reached behind him and helped Lillian from the car, who also wore black, including a black hat and black sunglasses.

Without giving me even a second to greet them, Ryker shouted, "What do you want?"

Bronson stepped forward, and my eyes were glued to him. That eerie feeling was screaming at me to pay attention. I shook my head. It was as if my mind was trying to connect pieces to a puzzle, but it couldn't. "Look, Darling, she is well," he said to Lillian.

"Um, hello." I tried to step around Ryker, but the big oaf wasn't having it.

"You're breaking the treaty by being here, so unless you want war, I suggest you leave."

"Now, now. No need to get hasty. We're here to check on Miss Katz. After how sick she was after lunch last week, we're worried for her well-being.'

"I'm sorry. I totally should've called today. "

Ryker glared at me, "She's not working for you."

"Uh, yes, I am."

His glare intensified. "Ariel, could you wait for me inside?" He asked through gritted teeth, and I knew it was hard for him to ask and not order me.

"Well, considering these are my employers, no."

Boy, if looks could kill.

It was then I saw his wolf flash, and I knew that looks could, in fact, kill. I needed to calm this situation down and not provoke it.

"Can I call you? You caught us at a bad time. I'm really sorry about not showing up, it's just I wasn't feeling well, and things are complicated."

"You don't need to explain anything to them."

Lillian stepped forward, "Are you okay? Did this mongrel do something to you?"

"Mongrel," I snapped in disbelief. I was ready to charge her. I wanted to smack her coiffed hair right off her head.

I moved my foot forward to go toward her. I wasn't about to let some snooty uptight... Ryker put his arm out, halting me at the same time she stepped forward, then Bronson did the same thing to her, stopping her progress and shooting a look in her direction.

She spoke, and it was almost regal as she did so, "Is there anything you need? Anything we can do for you? I was worried when you didn't show. It's the only reason we're here now. I apologize if this seems over the top. Sometimes, I'm not sure Bronson understands how showing up with a motorcade comes off.
