Page 32 of Seneca

“The two with the black shirts and baseball caps.They’re Dario’s friends.Wade and Jesse.”

The call connected on the first ring.“Jupiter.”

“Are you in the security building?”Seneca asked, stepping in front of Sunny to block her in case they looked their direction.

“I’m walking there now.Why?”

“Two enforcers are here, between the security building and the cafeteria.”

“Shit.Take a picture and send it to me.Don’t engage with them, walk to the security office and wait for me.”

“Got it.”

He snapped a picture and sent it to Jupiter, then hurried Sunny to the security office, staying to the side and out of the males’ line of sight.The males were walking slowly, clearly looking around.

A few moments later, Jupiter leaped up the stairs to the security office and called for the others inside to join him.Wanting to avoid a confrontation in front of the humans milling around, they quickly surrounded the males and moved them into the employee cafeteria.Thankfully, they’d gone along without a fight.

Jupiter waved at him from the door of the cafeteria and Seneca said, “You stay in the security office.I’ll be back.”

“Hell no, I’m not leaving your side,” Sunny said.

“Sunny.”

“No.”

He wanted to argue with her some more, but he could tell by the set of her jaw that she wasn’t going to take no for an answer.“All right, but you stay with me.”

“Of course, I’m not an idiot.”

He gave her a quick kiss.“I know you’re not, but in the heat of the moment, sometimes we do dumb things.”

“I promise not to get heated.”

He took her hand and walked over to the cafeteria with her, and by the time they were inside, the alphas were there, the two males surrounded.

The males saw Sunny and both growled.

“Shut that noise off immediately,” Marcus said with a growl.

Their growls stopped, but they glared at her.Seneca moved in front of her again, ready to let out his claws and fangs and protect her.

“What the hell do you want?”Seneca demanded.

“We’re here for Fallon,” the first male said.

“That’s Jesse,” Sunny said with a low voice.“The other is Wade.”

“There’s no one here by that name,” Marcus said.

The males both growled.“You’re lying,” Wade said.“We know she’s here.And she belongs to Dario and the prowl.Turn her over to us.”

Marcus growled.Seneca knew his dad had tried to bluff, but they clearly had some idea that she was in the park, otherwise why would they have shown up?

“Fine,” Marcus said, his voice laced with authority.“Fallon is under the protection of our people.She’s not going anywhere with you.”

“Dario is her alpha, period,” Wade repeated, adding a snarl.“He arranged a mating for her, and she is obligated to be Alpha Otto’s mate in trade for the alliance.Turn her over, immediately.”

Sunny tensed behind Seneca, but she stayed quiet.
