Chapter Fifteen

ROWAN

The door opens, telling me someone is here to attack my mate.

I leap off the bed and rush after them with Talon at my heels and don’t stop until I have them pinned to the ground.

“No, Floofboy, don’t eat me! Logan’s the only one allowed to eat me!” Ari cries from where I have him held down. Talon is sniffing Ari’s face with a wiggle to his body when he should be eating the intruders.

That’s when Logan’s massive arms wrap around me and pick me straight off the ground like some mere house cat as I hiss and flail at the man who dares try to stop my protection of Quinn.

“I told you to knock first,” Logan says as he holds me like I’m a kitten. My tail is twitching as Logan carries me toward the bed that Ari has belly crawled up to.

“Quinn… Quinn, Rowan tried murdering me!” he cries as he dramatically reaches a hand out to Quinn who doesn’t seem too concerned about saving him.

“Rowan, don’t murder Ari,” Quinn says as he slowly sits up, causing Cleo to slide off his chest. He’d been soundly sleeping before Ari’s vicious attack.

Ari continues to crawl across the floor and up onto the bed before hugging Quinn, which irritates me. Then he shifts into an ocelot and dodges under the covers.

“Oh… someone’s naked under here,” Ari says, and I leap out of Logan’s arms and dive onto the bed, trying to pounce on the thing skirting around under the covers. Deciding that there’s a quicker method than making him into a pancake, I dip under the covers and grab the back of Ari’s neck in my mouth as I drag him out.

He squirms in my grip as I consider what to do with the menace dangling from my mouth.

“I just… don’t even care to question what’s going on,” Quinn says as he rubs the sleep from his eyes. “Sometimes… I just wonder if I’m still sleeping.”

“Murder. That’s what’s going on. I’m going to murder this little ocelot and make you some gloves,” I say as I head for the window only to find it firmly locked. “Quinn, please open the window.”

Quinn ignores me as I bang Ari against the window, willing it to open.

“Let me go,” Ari says before hissing at me.

“Quinn, I was wondering if you wanted something to eat? I was just going to make you something so you could take your pain pills,” Logan says.

“Oh, thank you,” Quinn says.

“And then we can talk. I managed to talk to a buddy, and I got him to run Natalie Davis’s name through the police database. When he’s got all the information compiled, I thought we could sit down and go over it,” Logan says as Ari’s tail twitches.

The window thing isn’t working too well so I have to improvise and head for the toilet.

“That would be perfect, Logan. Thank you so much. Do you think he’s found something?” Quinn asks hopefully.

“Maybe. He’ll explain it better,” Logan says.

I reach the bathroom and use my paw to flick the toilet lid up.
