Rhone seemed satisfied by the progress.

He suddenly stopped eating again, and his scowl deepened for no apparent reason.

"What happened?" I asked, assuming Maverick had spoken to him through the pack link.

Heturned in his chair, and the way his head turned slightly told me he was scanning the room.

"What's going on?"

I was kind of surprised when he answered the question. "A few of the enforcers reported me to Maverick this morning."

"For what?"

"Claiming a female who doesn't want me and isn't my fated mate." He said it calmly. Like that was a rational thing for someone to do.

It wasn’t.

"What did he tell you to do about it?"I asked.

"Maverick doesn't give me orders."

I knew that.They were a team, however strange the dynamic was.

"What does hewantyou to do about it?"

Rhone didn't answer that question.

I picked up my phone and texted Bloom.

What's going on with the enforcers' complaints?

Bloom

There are rules about claiming someone like Rhone has claimed you

He can't attack a guy you were with willingly, since you’re not together

Me

What is he supposed to do about it now? Apologize?We both know he isn’t going to

Bloom

He’s supposed to stop being possessive of you

I stared down at the screen.

Me

He still hasn't told me why he's being possessive at all

Bloom

Maverick doesn't think he really knows why
