Diesel’s phone rang as he swung into the parking lot of Tails. “Answer that, would you, love?”
“Sure,” Em said, picking his phone up from the cup holder and putting the call on speaker.
“Diesel?” Barron said.
“Hey, man. We just got here. What’s up?”
“Got where? The bar?”
“Yeah. You need something?”
“That female and her dad showed up.”
Diesel shifted the car into park and turned off the speaker. Putting the phone to his ear, he said, “What female?”
“Valerie, the one who walked away from your arranged mating.”
“She’s at the bar? What the hell for?”
“She came here looking for you. Her dad made a big fuss and Titus called Duke, who just got here. They’re all up in Duke’s office.”
“Shit.”
“Titus asked me to call you. Duke wants you to come up to his office.”
“Em’s with me.”
“She can sit at the bar. He said just you.”
Diesel snarled. “Fine. I’ll be right there, thanks.” Ending the call, he looked at his sweetheart. “I’m sorry, baby. I have to take care of something.”
“What’s going on?”
“The female who broke off the mating contract with me because of my leg is here with her dad. I don’t know what they’re doing here, but Duke asked me to come to his office.”
“Without me.”
“Yeah. I’m not happy about it, but if he doesn’t want you to come into the office, it’s because he’s trying to protect you from whatever bullshit this is about. You’re my mate and that puts you under the alpha’s protection.”
“I don’t like this.”
“Me either, but he’s my alpha, so it’s not like I can tell him no. Let’s just get this over with.”
He met Em at the front of the car and took her in the employee entrance of the bar and straight to the counter where Hemi was working. Demi swiveled on the barstool and faced them.
“Hi.”
“Hey, Demi, this is my heart-match, Emberly. This is Demi, Hemi’s twin. She’s the nicer of the two.”
“Oh, fuck you very much,” Hemi said as he tossed a towel over his shoulder and joined them. “I’m far more awesome.”
“Negative, big brother,” Demi said.
“I’m only two minutes older than you.”
“Still counts.” Demi stuck her tongue out at her brother and then smiled at Diesel and Em. “It’s nice to meet you. I thought you weren’t working tonight.”
“I’m not. We came in for a drink and some dancing, but Duke just called me up to his office.”
