Zander paused.“Thanks, Corbin.”
“There is no time for introductions.We can do that later.Tell me where Portage is.”
“I’ll show you.”
Instead of moving fast, we walked down the back corridor of the hotel and turned toward the front entrance.A few people passed us, and there were a couple of gasps as they recognized me.We continued.Ryker, Jett, and Gabe in front, Zander to the left, Josh to my right, and slightly behind me were the elders surrounded by the rest of our guards.
In the lobby, two more people recognized me instantly and bowed their heads as we passed.These people were living under the roof of Portage, and yet, they were treating me with respect.I was somewhat confused.
We entered the lounge, and I saw him instantly.He was at a table dining with another man, and his eyes lifted immediately.I let go of Joshua’s hand and took a step forward, my shoulders back, my chin up.He wiped his mouth and stood, smiling.“Mistress, I am so glad you could make it.Shall I set another plate for you?Perhaps a couple of tables for your entourage?”
It took everything in me not to flash across the room and tear his head off, but I had told Corbin I would listen.So instead of a sneering comment, I smiled brightly.
“That would be wonderful.We are famished from our travels.”
His grin widened, and I stepped forward, keeping my chin up and my power ready just in case.With Ryker on my left and Zander and Jett on my right, we came to stand about five feet from him.
“I do believe you remember, Zander.”I smiled brightly as I took my mate's arm and cozied up to him.
Joseph glanced at Zander.“Son.”
Zander laughed briskly.“I am no son of yours.”
Portage shrugged like it was neither here nor there.“He can dine at another table.This meal is just for us.”
I smiled sweetly at him.“Seeing as he is my mate and the rightful master of the breed, he will be dining with me.”
The surprised look on his face was glorious.He looked between us and reached out to feel the power brewing through us.He shifted back slightly, as if nervous, and then began to laugh.“My, my, my.You do work fast, Mistress.Tell me, do you ever forget whose bed you are supposed to be in?”
