“Asshole.” Noah growled.

“Thanks.” I smiled at him.

Following the call with Dietrich, I decided to call David and check up on the investigation. He answered the call almost immediately.

“Yes Alpha?” He said when he answered.

“Hey David, how are things going with the investigation? Have you met with Otsana yet?”

“I’ve got all the information that I can from the local police, I was just about to go see the FBI agents.”

“Alright, I planned on meeting with them and you anyway so I will swing by to pick you up at the station. Wait for me.”

“Yes, Sir.”

I quickly collected David from the station and the three of us made our way to the rental house I had set up for the FBI agents, I figured that would be easier on them than a hotel room. The house was close to the edge of town heading back toward the compound. Both Otsana and her partner Jackson McIan were staying there.

We pulled up to the small ranch style house on the edge of town and started toward the door. I had told them that I was coming so they were expecting me. Agent McIan opened the door before we had even finished climbing the porch.

“Mr. Gray, good evening.” Agent McIan called out to me. “I hope you don’t find this rude, but can you explain to me why it’s so important you and your cronies are part of my investigation?” He was definitely suspicious of me, especially since I had not met him before.

“May we discuss this inside, Agent McIan?” I smiled at him to show that I was not a threat, however he seemed to visibly darken at my words and was immediately on guard. His dark brown eyes and light blond hair should have made him look innocent, but they were paired with a gym buff’s body, a permanent natural tan, and a seriously disapproving look on his otherwise good looking face. He almost looked like he belonged in my pack instead of in the FBI, but the smell coming off of him was all human.

“I would like to refuse, but as Otsana is in charge of this investigation I can’t very well say no.”

“That, and I do own this house.” I smiled a little more broadly.”

“Of course you do. Because why not, you seem to own everything else.” He actually laughed at that one.

“Jack, enough with the tough guy routine, these are important members of our investigative team.” Otsana yelled from inside.

“I don’t see why we need a group of PIs, especially one that’s just a billionaire playboy playing games.”

“Is that how the world sees me?” I asked the two men with me.

“Absolutely not, Sir.”

“Definitely.” They answered, Noah was not holding any punches and David seemed nervous. Huh, I didn’t think I was seen as a playboy, I hadn’t been seen dating anyone.

“I’m a billionaire yes, but I am so much more than that. Can’t we just talk for a little while Agent McIan, I’m sure you will come to trust me more.”

“Whatever.” He said stepping aside and letting us in.

“Forgive him, he’s just acting like a big brother to me.” Otsana joked as we walked inside. “Even though he’s younger than-.” She stopped mid sentence staring at David, her face full of shock and awe. David, likewise, had a shocked, dare I say dumbfounded, look on his face.

“What’s the matter Rawlynne?” Agent McIan asked her with a hint of worry. “Do you recognize one of them as a criminal?”

“None of us are criminals.” Noah spat at the man.

“I know what’s happening here.” I told them all.

“How can it be?” Otsana breathed in disbelief.

“I can’t believe it.” David sighed. “After all these years, I’ve finally found you.”

“You two know each other?” Agent McIan asked his partner, but still she didn’t answer him.

“I’m ninety-nine percent sure they’ve never met before.” I assured the man.

“Then how could they have been looking for each other?” He was thoroughly confused.

“That is a little hard to explain at the moment.” Noah seemed uncomfortable.

While the three of us stood there in the living room of the small house, watching the two awestruck people in front of us a sort of drama was unfolding. I watched as David started walking towards Otsana, but with every step he took she backed up one.

“Why are you backing away from me?” David sounded hurt.

“This is the wrong time. I’m not ready.” Otsana pleaded. “I’ve got career goals, plans for my future that I thought I would follow. This wasn’t part of it.”

“But we can’t fight fate.” David seemed to coo at her in a calming voice.

Otsana backed against the wall, unable to move back further she just stared at the man approaching her. She could have turned and fled in a different direction but she was mesmerized.

“What is going on here?” Agent McIan asked me.

“You’re watching destiny unfold before you.” I answered him.

“Destiny?” He scoffed but still he watched on.

“What’s your name?” David asked the woman he was staring down like a wild animal that might run away or bite him if he wasn’t careful.

“No.” Otsana shook her head.

“Her name is Rawlynne Otsana, David, didn’t you hear us talking earlier.” I smiled at the man in front of me.

“Rawlynne.” He smiled as he said her name. “I’m sorry, I stopped hearing anything for a little bit earlier. My dreams have all come true after all.”

“Stop saying that.” Otsana yelled at him as he inched closer still.

“Rawlynne.” He said her name again like it was the sweetest sound he had ever heard.

“Don’t. Don’t say my name.” Otsana shivered both times David had said her name.

“But it’s so beautiful.” He cooed again. “And you smell so wonderful. Like soft subtle flowers and sweet decadent fruits. The smell, and sight, of you is making my mouth water.” David’s eyes visibly darkened with desire.

“Stop, don’t say anymore.” Otsana’s voice was weak.

“That’s fine by me, there’s something else I’d rather do anyway.” With that David took the last step to place himself in front of Otsana. With no resistance from her he wrapped his right arm around her waist and pulled her to him. His other hand he settled on the back of her head. Before any of us could do or say anything, he had settled his mouth on hers.

“Stop!” Agent McIan came to his senses and yelled at the couple kissing like lovers right before his eyes. “This is unacceptable and frankly inappropriate. Rawlynne, you don’t even know this man, why are you letting him kiss you like that?” He yelled at her.

“She can’t help it McIan, it’s destiny.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” He looked even more perplexed.

“It’s hard for me to explain, but for them just now, it was love at first sight.”

“Love at first sight doesn’t exist.”

Otsana had finally managed to push David away, but his protesting growl told me he wasn’t very happy about it.

“Oh, it exists alright.” Otsana was breathing heavily when she spoke to Agent McIan.

“What’s going on here?” He asked her as David tried to pull her back to him.

“David, control yourself.” I snapped at him. “We have business to discuss.” He turned to look at me with an angry, hurt expression before he bowed his head.

“Yes, you’re right, Sir.” He finally let his hands drop but he stayed standing next to his new mate.

The five of us settled on the couches and chairs in the living room, David made sure he was sitting next to the woman he had had his hands all over. Agent McIan was still glaring at him with an angry look. Perhaps he loved the woman too.

“Will someone explain all of this to me?” He demanded, breaking the tense silence in the room. He was acting big and intimidating but it didn’t go well with the pale blue armchair that matched the very girly living room around us, filled with pastel colors and pretty furniture. I hated it.
