Chapter 7

Ten days later, Cinda was feeling anything but fortunate.

Okay, so she knew that was her hormones and her bitch of a She Bear talking because any human female would feel loved and cherished at what was happening, but Cinda was a Shifter.

A Shifter who had denied herself her mate for decades. The whole point of coming home again, of disclosing the truth of what she was to him, was to put the brakes on the whole denial thing.

Problem was, her mate seemed to be on a different page. Screw that, more like a whole different chapter.

Slamming her hands against her desk, she tried to refrain from growling at her computer screen but it didn’t work.

His head popped around the door at the sound. “Everything okay?”

She glowered at him, then, when he just looked confused, could do nothing less than sigh. “I’m fine,” she grumbled. His nostrils flared at her, but he nodded then backed off.

What the hell was that about?

Had he been scenting her?

Confused, she pushed her seat back from the desk and got to her feet. Her apartment was in no way near how she’d like it, but she had a bed, a functioning kitchen, a sofa, and the most important room—her study—was just as she’d left it. A large desk with her laptop that overlooked her condo building’s pretty yard. That was all she needed.

Never let it be said that Cinda was high maintenance. Well, if Jarvis ever did say that, she’d slaughter him.

Hell, she might do that anyway if her suspicions were correct. Before she could stalk after him, find out what that whole ‘nostril flaring’ thing had been about, her cell phone buzzed.

Tempted to ignore it, she didn’t because she recognized the ringtone.

Answering the call, she murmured “Didn’t think I’d be hearing from you again, Rizzoli.”

Jane Piccolino snorted. “How many times with the Rizzoli shit? You’re the only one old enough to have watched that when it was being streamed. You know, not on reruns?”

Cinda took the hit with little less than a hiss. “That used to be one of my favorite shows, bitch.”

Jane laughed. “Used to, being the operative words there.”

“Can I help it you look like Angie Harmon?”

“No.”

“You should be grateful. She was a supermodel. I’m giving you a compliment.”

“You never give compliments, Cinda. This I have learned.”

Cinda grunted. “Is this ‘let’s piss Cinda off’ day or something?”

“I don’t know. I’ve only been on the line with you for less than a minute. I haven’t had much of a shot at ruining your day.”

“Nice to know you’ll volunteer for the next special event.” Cinda rolled her eyes. “What do you want anyway?”

“Thought I’d let you know. Kinder’s appeal fell through. The SOB is going to be fried.”

Satisfaction more than flooded her. It whizzed through her system like coke through a newbie’s blood. “You shitting me?”

“As if I’d do something so cruel to you.”

There was still that teasing tone to Jane’s voice, but Cinda knew she was deadly serious. The breath she let out was a little shaky with relief.
