Chapter Fourteen

~ René ~

When Alessandro started barking out orders to Tashi as he headed back inside the penthouse, I hurried over to my parents and hugged them both. "Alessandro will find Pierre."

I knew he would even without his vow.

"He is really your true mate, René?" my mother asked.

I nodded. "He is, and we've already claimed each other so..." There was no way to change it now. I just hoped my parents accepted my mate. I couldn't give him up.

"He's really sorry for what he did. Like he said, he thought Father and Pierre were just lovers and he wanted to save me the pain of finding out my father was being unfaithful to my mother. Once he knew the truth, he was immediately sorry."

"Are you sure he didn't take Pierre?" my father asked. "The men that took him were dressed like the prince's guards."

"I'm positive. Like I said, he's been with me since yesterday afternoon when I was attacked."

"What was that all about?" Mother asked. "Someone attacked you?"

"Someone hit me over the head when I got back to my loft after I left you and then proceeded to beat me up. Alessandro's guards stopped whoever it was and then drove me to the hospital."

"Who was it?"

I shrugged. "We don't know. They got away when the guards were seeing to me, but Alessandro has someone looking into it. What we do know is that they placed several cameras throughout my loft."

"Cameras?" My father's head snapped up. "Someone put cameras in your loft?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

I sighed. "We don't know that either."

But it was starting to look as if someone was after my family.

"Father, has there been any trouble back home or with the families?" I asked.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because it really feels like someone is out to get us. First, they attack me and then they take Pierre. Why?"

"I'd like to know that as well," Alessandro said as he stepped out onto the veranda. "Why is someone going after your family so suddenly?"

My father stiffened before turning to glare at Alessandro. "Maybe you should be asking yourself the very same question. We were fine until you came into our lives."

"Oh, believe me, I am. It seems too coincidental that I find my true mate and suddenly his family is being targeted."

Well, that took the wind out of my father's sails.

"You think this is connected with you mating my son?" my father asked.

"I'm starting to."

I frowned as I looked at the grim look on my mate's face. "Alessandro?"

He held out his hand. When I took it, he drew me to his side and then reached up and brushed the hair along the side of my head with his hand.

"Do you remember me telling you that sometimes my job can be dangerous and you might be in danger because you are my mate?"

I nodded.

"It's the only thing I can think of, gattino. You weren't even on anyone's radar until I came along."

"But we haven't told anyone yet," I insisted. "Hell, when I was attacked, I hadn't even claimed you yet.
