Cataleya

Gomez

Next day. In the basement.

Cat walked into the basement to the fridge. Rafe had organized an extra fridge for her blood bags. Some of his betas weren't really happy with it but they also know that if she doesn't have blood bags that they'll become her blood bags. It's a win win. 

Rafe had been gone for four hours now. Today was his meeting for Gomez. Cat didn't show it but she was slowly getting worried because he was taking longer than he said he would. And because while he's gone Seth's back in charge. 

Fer rushed downstairs "Cat!"

Cat looked at her confused. 

Fer "they're back"

She froze. 

In Rafe's office.

She knocked on the door.

Rafe yelled "come in!"

Cat walked in and saw him talking to Seth "hey"

Rafe nodded to Seth and he walked out. 

Cat waited till Seth closed the door before looking back at Rafe. 

Rafe eyed her "Surprised i came back without a scratch?"

Cat shook her head "I am surprised you came back alive"

He nodded.

Cat "how'd it go?"

He grimaced "Well...."

She sighed "what?"

He nodded "it started off great, but then it escalated pretty quick"

I looked at him worried.

He sighed.

She raised an eyebrow "what happened?"

He took a deep breath "Well, for starters, he kept calling you his bride. As you can imagine after the 20th time it was starting to get under my skin since you and i have a mate bond going on. couldn't hide it for long"

Cat "he could tell what was going on when you lost it on him?"

He nodded "Yes"

She sighed.

He nodded "He had his thoughts about why i was keeping you alive. now he knows for sure"

Cat nodded "He could've killed you on the spot, Rafe"

He nodded and turned to look out of the window "I know"

She asked confused "why didn't he?"

Rafe took in a deep breath "Because I remind him of my father"

Cat walked over to him "what if i can do something? i can help"

Rafe looked at her through the reflection of the window. 

Cat "what if I pretend to be friendly with Gomez - and spy around"

He shook his head "absolutely not "

Cat "i could go to him and tell him that I wanna make the deal"

Rafe crossed his arms over his chest "and what if he asks you about me? Your mate?"

Cat "I'll lie and tell him I rejected you"

He scoffed, nodding.

Cat asked confused "what?"
