We have to celebrate!

NALEDI’S POV

Caellum was losing it. No surprise there.

I wondered how it would feel if I told him no, Just for the fun of it.

“Do you think I can handle him, Alpha?” I retorted, smarting my way out of a direct answer.

“You know what I think.” His eyes bore holes at me, “Are you fishing for compliments?”

I smirked, “Now why would I do that?”

“You tell me.”

Tension racked the air between us as we stared ourselves down, wondering who would crack. I did.

“I’ll handle Luka,” I said, wearing a confident look. “I’m the best man for the job.”

Saying that aloud felt empowering. Judging from the last 24 hours I’ve had, I never thought I’d be feeling this way so soon.

“Good girl.” Caellum purred, unable to hide the delight in his eyes.

Butterflies flapped in my stomach at his appraisal. What was it with this man?

“Now that’s settled, let’s get on to business,” I stated, wanting to get the mushy feelings out the door. “I want to bring him down. Sooner rather than later.”
