Chapter 25
“Where did you find this?” he asked me.
“Some guy dropped it off” I told him, his eyes narrowed at me.
“A guy?”
“yeah, he was friendly he just said to give it to you” I said nodding.
“at my house?” he questioned, I nodded, I didn’t like the look on his face. He tore the envelope opened peeking inside not taking whatever it was out. I caught a small whiff of blood. The smell was metallic salty, I wrinkled my nose. He let out another low growl that vibrated through my chest sending shivers down my spine.
The door opened and about 6 very large men walked in followed by Michael who was breathing heavily like he had just run a few miles.
“Hi Michael” I greeted cheerfully.
“Hey K-” he was cut off by Dez’s intimidating low growl causing him to look at Dez’s feet quietly. I felt the need to reach out and hit Dez or ask him what his problem was.
“I want security doubled, I want it at my house and I want it tripled wherever Kendal is at all times” he said lowly speaking to Michael quietly like I wasn’t even there. What is going on? I looked at the large men standing against the walls. Why was Dez so suddenly- I caught sight of the envelope now sitting on his desk. I reached for it and Dez stopped in mid–sentence catching my wrist his eyes flicking to me.
“What’s in it?” I asked now that I had his attention.
“Nothing”
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“Go sit down” he told me lowly motioning to the chair I usually sat in.
“No, tell me what’s-”
“Kendal” he said warningly, giving my wrist a small squeeze.
“Dez” I replied stubbornly, staring at him, he caught my eye and I refused to look away. I could feel him take it as a challenge, but I wasn’t breaking eye contact. He looked away and I tried not to smirk in triumph.

Chapter 25
“Mathias would you please escort my mate into the hallway” He said, I ignored the butterflies from Dez calling me his mate, and my jaw dropped.
“Dez-” I protested, he wasn’t just going to shove me into the hallway. I wanted to know what was going on. The largest of the men stepped forward. He had a buzz out, and looked intimidating as hell. He stood tall, maybe 6,4, and he was bulky, he wasn’t as large as Dez but he was still huge.
“Don’t touch me” I warned taking a step back into Dez, I could feel his body heat behind me, and my skin was tingling with the electricity I felt when he was close. He stopped and looked up to Dez probably asking permission to forcibly remove me from here. I knew I wouldn’t be able to fight him but I wasn’t leaving without throwing a very large tantrum.
I watched him take a step back obediently, I almost scoffed. What does Dez have his person pets he just orders around now? I guess Dez sent them into the hallway because they all filed out, leaving me alone
with him, I turned around facing him taking a few steps back from his close proximity.
I crossed my arms over my chest, trying to contain my excitement from just being near Dez. I looked at him expectantly.
“Don’t be difficult, you can stay only if you promise to keep your mouth shut” he said giving me a pointed
look.
“What? No, tell me what’s goi-”
“Fine then your guards are waiting for you in hallway, you can wait there until I’m done with M-”
“Guards?” I questioned ignoring his look from being interrupted. I gathered that he wasn’t interrupted
often.
“Yes, guards” he said almost smugly, like he was expecting me to argue.
“I don’t need guards, I can protect myself”
“Kendal, you’re going to have guards with you when I’m not there, this isn’t up for negotiation” he said firmly, I could see he had made his decision and nothing I said would change his mind.
“Dez, why do I need guards?” I asked, he looked at me for a minute, his jaw clenching slightly and his posture stiffening.
“for your protection” he finally settled on.
“from what?” I demanded. He looked at me for a long minute, just studying me I guess, I squirmed under his gaze but resisted the urge to drop my head in submission.
“You have a choice to make, you can stay and keep your mouth shut, or go and wait for me in the hallway” he said his voice returning to its original low rumble, I looked at him seeing in his face that’s all

Chapter 25.
I was going to get out of him. I let out a growl of frustration and stomped to the chair sitting down loudly and crossing my arms over my chest.
He looked thoroughly amused, I raised an eyebrow and he looked away, but I swear I saw his lips curve
the slightest.
The guards and Michael walked back in, they all seemed to glance at me, and Michael grinned at me before Dez cleared his throat and he snapped to attention.
Dez went more into detail about how much security he wanted around the territory, at his house, and with me at all times- which was completely outrageous, he wanted at least 10 guards with me at all times. I was about ready to blow a cork when I heard that, I made a noise and Dez gave me a look, I returned.
