Carlos turned to him and rubbed his cheek against the side of his face. His cat reached for its Alpha and basked in his calming presence.

“Two days.” He said aloud, but it was meant for his cat. The animal swiped his insides, an angry swat that told him what he thought about the plan.

“Right, let’s go back to our new prowl members and reassure them.”

Derrick nodded, his gaze going back to the now deserted road his mate used to escape. “Yeah, let’s put on a good show.”

He’d allow her a respite for now. His mate didn’t know it yet, but his panther was a patient hunter. He’d bide his time, and enjoy every minute of it.
