Page 72 of Purrfectly Mated

“Hey yourself,” he smiled. “Need any help bringing the birds in?”

“Nah, Reg has it. He feels so bad after everything that happened, he’s been my personal slave all week. He’ll do anything I say.”

That made Hunter’s eyes narrow, and Elissa snorted out a laugh.

“Not like that, silly cat. You are my mate, just you,” she said and rubbed her cheek on his chest.

His Tiger chuffed inside him.

Reg.

Grrr.

His Tiger still wanted to take a bite out of the young idiot. The male had been sympathetic to Blake in the beginning when his ex-Beta had tried using old Pride laws to sway some of them to his way of thinking.

After being questioned by the Council and by Hunter himself, he found nothing but sincerity and loyalty in the Tiger. Hunter had agreed that if Elissa allowed it, Reg could remain within the Pride.

After asking her, his mate had been willing to accept his apology. Even more, she’d requested he be assigned to her, and his Honor Guard duties resumed.

Along with a few additional guards whenever he was out, Hunter had reluctantly agreed. Oh yes, she was something, his little Nari.

“What are you thinking?” she asked.

“Besides how much I love you?”

“Yes,” she said, smiling like he knew she would. “Besides that.”

“I was thinking that things are going to get interesting around here if anyone else decides to take Uncle Uzzi up on his offer to help them find their mates.”

“Yes, it will,” Elissa said and laughed.

“I wonder if anyone will wind up aspurrfectly matedas we are.”

At that, Hunter joined her in laughing out loud, earning them a couple of curious stares from their Pride mates.

“I love you,” he said, and kissed her again.

“Did I mention I want pie for dessert?”

“Do you now?”

“Yes. My favorite flavor, with cream,” he whispered naughtily. His chest rumbled with his Tiger, and fuck, his mouth watered a little.

“It’s all yours, mate,” she said, kissing him back and making his Tiger purr with need.

“Love you, my Nari.”

Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The end.
