“What?” Ernest said.
“I quit!” Juliet spouted as loud as she could without screaming.
There was faint applause from the cubicles. Ernest glared at her just as two big security guards and a cop entered the room.
“What’s this about?” he demanded.
Juliet looked up at Levi with questions in her eyes.
“Ernest Burns, you’re under arrest for corporate fraud.”
“What’s going on?” Juliet whispered as the cop handcuffed Ernest and read him his rights.
“There isn’t much Corey can’t find with his computer. I figured if this guy was so bad to you, he must have some skeletons in his closet. Wouldn’t you know, I was right.”
“I’ve been framed. You heard that man. He had his friend plant information.”
“No. You just aren’t smart enough to cover your trail,” Levi said.
It hadn’t even been that big a challenge for Corey to find Ernest’s unlawful acts.
“He’s a shifter. Why are you taking the word of a dirty shifter?”
That stung, but it didn’t sting so much that Levi couldn’t enjoy the sight of the man who’d hurt his mate being carted off in cuffs.
“Save it for the judge, buddy,” the cop said.
Juliet’s face was so radiant and satisfied, Levi felt himself burst with pride. His first attempt at protecting her had clearly worked. She threw some things from her cubicle in a box and giggled beside Levi as he carried it out to the truck.
“Did you see the look on his face when they read him his rights?” Juliet said, plopping into the passenger seat. She was like a giddy little girl who’d just gotten a pony for Christmas. That made Levi feel amazing. Making Juliet happy was addicting.
“What’s more important is that I saw your face when they took him away. I told you it’s my job to protect you. I’ll never allow anyone to hurt you again, Juliet. No one is going to harm that soft core inside you. No one can even attempt to hurt you without going through me first.”
Snuggles meowed in the back seat, and Juliet leaned over to kiss Levi’s cheek.
“Yes sir, Chief Bear. This wimpy girl is now under your protection.”
“You aren’t wimpy. You’re perfect.”
“I am now that I’m with you,” she said, kissing him again.
Levi let out a satisfied rumble. He had his mate. Really and truly. All the pieces of his life now seemed to fit together. With Juliet by his side, he knew he could do anything. Accomplish any goal. Complete any mission. With her, everything made sense, and together they would create a legacy to be proud of. He looked over at his sweet little mate and smiled.
It was time to go home to Fate Mountain.
