Chapter 9 – Leon

I wanted to tear Royce Rogers’ throat out for the way he was acting around Justine. My lion was pacing and pawing and growling within me, just itching for the chance to show that man exactly how disgracefully he was acting. I trailed behind him, no more than a step or two, trying not to tackle him there in the building.

For more than one reason, I restrained. I didn’t know that Justine Justice would want me to step in. I had no idea if it was my place to do so, especially after last night. And on top of that, Royce Rogers, no matter how much a slimy pig he was being, was still my client, my assignment. I was working as a representatives of the ops, and I needed to maintain that professionality, no matter how little I thought of the man.

And if I was being fair, the man didn’t know what my relationship with Justine was or if there had ever been one. How could he know that only the night before we had been tangled in the sheets together or that the girl he was offering to leave his fortune to was my daughter?

Reasoning helped my anger. A little. But it wasn’t until we were making our way down the red carpeted stairs to the main floor that I felt I had enough control over myself to speak. Even then, I didn’t want to.

It was Rogers who broke the silence between us.

“These days are sure something,” Rogers said, more in a state of awe than anything else. “You used to hear about war brides, which were women that soldiers would come back with after being at war overseas. But this whole mail order bride thing is entirely different. It’s wonderful what technology can do. A computer algorithm is trying to pick out my perfect mate. Imagine that.”

I didn’t say anything. My mate was upstairs, and I didn’t think any computer would be able to pick it out. I didn’t know if it was something that would work or not, if a computer could interfere like that, but I supposed stranger things had happened.

“I wonder who managed to come up with something like that,” Rogers went on. “I mean, who thought that they could know people well enough to make some kind of mathematical equation to bring people together. Do you think it’s possible, Leon? To find your mate this way?”

“No,” I answered flatly.

“I suppose not. Mates are a thing of destiny, aren’t they? They’re a kind of gift that is given to us by fate. Well, I don’t think fate likes me very much, since my mate hasn’t come my way yet.”

If that was an opening for a response from me to disagree with him in a reassuring way or tell him that his perfect match was out there, he was waiting on the wrong guy. After the time I had with my mate, I wasn’t the one to talk about love or the virtues of it.
