The Alpha's Cat Read Free

won’t ever try to steal from him again. Cross my heart. He
has no reason to come get me since I didn’t actually get away with anything. I
mean unless this is about teaching me a lesson.”
    Cal shrugged. “We don’t get details. Just orders,” he said
and leaned forward.
    “Oh,” I said and looked up at the clock. “Oops, lunch breaks
up. Guess I won’t be able to come in today. Got to get back to work. We should
set up an appointment for next time.” I stood up, but Bay grabbed my arm.
    “Don’t think so,” he whispered.
    Without another word, I swung my fist in the air and caught
him in the jaw with a crack. The wolf fell back.
    Cal stood up with large eyes and chased me to the back of
the diner. Dodging cooks and staying hot on my heels.
    Once I shot out into the alley, I urged the change to
happen, but hit the ground before I had a chance.
    Straddling me, Cal pulled out a small bag and let the powder
fall over my face.
    “No!” I choked and struggled to free myself.
    The smaller wolf gripped my wrists and used all his force to
hold me down. “Damn! You’re pretty strong for a cat,” he said and moved over as
soon as Bay approached his side.
    Together the two mutts tied my hands and ankles together
then put me in the back of a car.
    I wrinkled my nose, feeling the drug seep down into my skin. I’m going to kill the magic user that invented
that shit . I thought.
    The drive seemed a million miles away. Being weakened, I was
hauled up and dragged into the back of Wilson Manor. Since I’m here now may as
well go find the real diamond. Then when I was as far as can be from this
place, I would send Tate a vid message and rub my second escape in his stupid face.
    Bay pulled me around into a small room and pushed me on a
sofa. “Don’t go anywhere,” he said and flinched. A dark black and blue mass
covered almost the entire side of his face.
    I probably fractured his jaw. “That looks painful,” I said
with a smirk.
    A low growl escaped from deep within his gut. “Tate owes me
for this one,” he mumbled and stood up. “If you know what’s best you’ll stay
put.”
    I frowned as he closed the door behind him and locked it.
    “Stupid dog!” I shouted. The footsteps on the other side of
the door paused for a moment before exiting the room.
    Leaning to the side, I pulled at the rope. I’ve broken
through many different bindings before, but there was something different about
these particular ones. They seemed to stretch with my movement, but stay firmly
locked around my skin. It also burned each time I struggled. Probably something
else doused with magic. How craptastic!
    I rolled to the side and yelped when the side of my hip
smashed against the floor. Blowing some hair out of my face, I glanced around
the small room. No windows. Nothing else besides the damn sofa and a small
table.
    I used both feet and kicked it down. The drawer splintered
and fell to the side. Nothing.
    With a growl, I bit my bottom lip. Why the hell would you
keep a table inside a room with nothing in it?
    A minute later Tate Wilson walked into the room looking like
a dream in the fitted tux. He closed the door behind him and smiled down at me.
Those wild green eyes shone with hunger, and his chestnut brown hair spilt over
the top of each shoulder as he squatted down.
    “Glad you could make it… Elise,” he said huskily and touched
the side of my face. “Did you think I wouldn’t find you, kitty?”
    My heart beat faster as he lifted me up gently and put me
back on the sofa. “Well, I was hoping you wouldn’t,” I said and tried to scoot
away from him.
    He leaned into me and gripped my thick thigh tight. A smirk
curled on those delectable lips.
    “I’ll always be able to find that beautiful scent of yours.
We’re mates after all,” he said and pulled the binds off of my ankles.
    I scowled. “I’m not your mate.”
    “Allow me to prove you wrong,” he whispered. Hot breath
tickled my ear. Then he pressed his lips
