Hello?
Mr Lender, this is Carl from Farlen Security. Unfortunately there has been a breach of
security at your house on Sixteenth Avenue. We have alerted the proper authorities who are
en route to your house, Carl said.
I ll be right there. Drake slammed the phone down.
Problem?

Someone broke into the mansion. I want to know how they did that. My security is
some of the best.
The thought of someone powerful enough to burst through his system made him more
than a little worried.
Good thing neither of you were there, Julian said.
I wonder what they were looking for?
You mean besides your mate? Julian asked dryly.
Yes, besides my mate. We have no proof the two are linked, Drake said, trying to
keep calm.
True, but it s an odd coincidence. You find your mate who just happens to be the son
of the Vice President, who s hunting him down. Yep, I m sure one has nothing to do with the
other.
Sarcasm doesn t become you, Drake said.
Yes, it does. I m cute as a button either way. Speaking of cute, where s your adorable
mate? Julian asked. Shouldn t he be back by now?
Drake frowned at the clock. It s only been twenty minutes. I m sure he s fine. Besides,
Milton is with him.
True.
Despite Julian s agreement, he saw the glance his assistant gave the clock.
I need to get going to the mansion, but I need Kellum to come with me.
Wouldn t it be wiser to keep him here? Something could be waiting for him.
It could also be a ruse for me to leave him alone. At least that way I can keep an eye on
him. If someone tries something I can protect him. Drake s nerves were stretched tight. He
could feel danger hovering on the horizon, but he couldn t quite pin it down.
Julian snorted. From what you said about his test, I don t think he s the one who s
going to need protection. Your cute little mate is a badass and if he can learn to control his
powers, no one will try to mess with him.
A loud emergency siren pierced the air, the one they only used for hostile forces
invading building.
Oh no, Julian said, biting his lip.

Damn! Drake realised he d left Kellum with no weapons and no way to contact him.
Kellum didn t have a cell phone, as far as Drake knew, and he d had to leave his knife back at
the apartment.
Before he could fall into a full panic, Kellum walked in carrying a tray with Milton
hovering protectively. Kellum set it down on the table. What s going on?
We re being attacked! Julian screeched like a banshee. And it s all your fault!
Drake s jaw dropped as Julian went from calm and practical to hysterical. Shut up,
Julian.
No, he s right. If I weren t here you wouldn t be under attack. Ghouls are on their way
and I don t have any weapons. It might be best to let them take me this time. Kellum ran his
fingers through his hair and headed for the door.
Drake grabbed Kellum s arm. No. You aren t going to be fodder for those monsters.
You are mine and I will protect you over everyone else. Not to mention you can use your
magic against them.
Julian snorted. I think you overestimate Kellum s value.
Milton smacked Julian in the back of the head. And what do you think will happen if
the Vice President gets his son? Milton scolded. You think he s not going to take over the
presidency? What s to stop him from doing whatever he wants? It s in our best interests to
keep this guy from top office.
Drake could ve kissed Milton.
Sorry. Julian turned an apologetic look on Kellum, but Drake didn t see any thawing
in his mate. He couldn t blame him. Julian kept blowing hot and cold.
How much did he pay you? Kellum asked.
Julian took a step backwards.
Wh-what do you mean?
How much did my father pay you to keep an eye out for me? How long have you been
his eyes and ears? Kellum scowled at Julian. His hands were raised as if he were primed to
blast Julian across the room.
Julian propped his hands on his hips. You think I m a spy?
Drake looked back and forth between the men, torn between supporting his mate and
the man who d worked for him for years.
