“Sure.”
Renner reached in, scratched Ursa’s head and then unsnapped the white collar. “There we go. If you had left with that, the door would lock.”
Calliope asked, “You need to keep security on stray cats?”
“Sort of. Many people who have to surrender pure-bred cats do it to this facility because we assure health and neutering first, and we gain our support from different animal foundations and happy adopters.”
Toby snorted. “Don’t let that fool you. She pays for all of this herself.”
Renner narrowed her eyes. “Well, it sucks to be alone in the world with no one who wants you. I make sure that they get security and work through any traumas before they get adopted.”
Calliope smiled. “I did some time in family court, so I can definitely concur.”
“Right. Have a great morning. Again, contact us if you have any questions.”
“We will. Thank you.”
Thera grinned and hoisted the cardboard case. “Thank you!”
They left, and Renner checked her watch. “Dang. I am going to be late.”
She grabbed her laptop and ran up to her apartment. She put her laptop in its locking case, took a deep breath, and walked back downstairs, wending her way to the café with equal parts curiosity and dread.
Rhymbia was there with Kern. He was his normal serious self, and Rhymbia was bouncing with excitement.
Six alphas were sitting, and three of them had cats with them. One of them had six out of the twenty cats. Achilles was curled up around Thanatos’s ankles, and Renner covered her eyes. “Good grief.” When she lifted her head, he was grinning.
Rhymbia walked toward her and hugged her. Renner winced, but it was Kern that reminded her. “Honey, she’s injured.”
Rhymbia covered her mouth. “Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry.”
“It’s okay. I got the stitches reset yesterday, so it’s fine. Another week of dealing with it, and I will be fine. I don’t have one of those guys around with healing skills. The cats want to try, but I don’t let them.”
Rhymbia smiled. “Well, gentlemen, today is a sort of speed dating situation, and the cats have already chosen the three candidates.”
The three looked at her and nodded. One of them said, “You shouldn’t be letting animals make this decision.”
“Dude, I let my pussy lead me in matters of alphas. There isn’t really another way.”
His eyes widened, and his mouth opened and snapped shut.
“Fine, you aren’t worth my time anyway.” He huffed and stalked out.
Kern sighed.
Renner shrugged. “Some guys have no patience.”
The two that she didn’t know were smiling curiously. Thanatos was smiling and scratching Achilles’ head.
The two men she hadn’t met just sat back and waited. One of them had Princess on his lap, and she was completely comfortable. He had his cuffs rolled back, and she could see thick tattoos on his wrists. Her body throbbed as she saw the ink.Damnit.
“Hey, Mateo, I want this one.” A gorgeous man with golden hair and wide dark-gold eyes walked up to the third alpha holding one of the kittens who seemed to just wake up in his hands. Cera.
“Where’s Cedric?”
The pretty man looked at her. “Who?”
“Her brother. They are a bonded pair. If you keep them apart, she is going to—”
