Compound: Watching the mates

Sterling Chase
*having added approximately 100 pounds of tactical gear and weaponry to Aric's sturdy frame, I pull my Tavia Chase close for a kiss* Remember Love, no unnecessary interaction with the humans. They may be weak, but they ARE dangerous. *hugging my Love tightly, I shoot a "stay alert" glare at my fidgety son then move to the tech room to monitor this insane outing with Gideon Breed*

Having already accessed the Security cameras at the zoo, I am running a manual security check when Sterling strides into the tech lab. His tense body language telling me how truly uneasy he is about his mate being out of his protective reach for the day, as he paces behind me, I bring up every camera we have inside the zoo and every traffic cam and MAC machine camera within in a mile radius*

*heaving a deep breath, I fall into one of the chairs and roll to the keyboard next to you* The zoo, Brother, the fucking zoo. And thanks for the intel and the security and the cushy-ass-palace chairs.

*Reaching out my fist to pound Sterling's* No problem bro, your ass is always welcome in the mad scientist's lab. *Turning my attention back to the monitors, the image of Gabrielle being dragged into the reptile hose makes me chuckle. When I feel Sterling's breath on my neck because he is leaning in so closely to see, I move my chair over allowing him to roll his in*

*leaning closer, I barely notice when you huff out a breath, start mumbling and fastidiously start cleaning your glasses claiming that I fogged them with my hairy breath, glancing away from the monitors to give you the death-glare* I did not and my breath is not hairy!


*Striding through the hall, he makes his way to the tech lab, only one thing consuming his  thoughts; Gabrielle As he enters the room he sees the backs of Sterling and Gideon, both leaning in to pear at the monitor, His pulse quickens as he sees his mate, protected only by Aric, and in broad daylight surrounded by humans. dropping a hand on each of his brother's shoulders his voice booms in the quiet room* How the hell long do they plan on staying out there?


*jumping in alarm at the heavy hand on my shoulder and the echo reverberating around the room* What the-!! You almost had me needing clean pants, Lucan! And they are feeding something or other. *shooting a text to Aric to stay alert*



*Chuckling at Sterling, his concentration so focused on that monitor Atilla the Hun could have snuck up on him. As Lucan's heavy hand rests on my shoulder, I tell him to pull up a seat and join the party*


*His eyes following his mate's movements on the screen, He seats himself in a chair next to Gideon, the male murmuring something about personal space which he completely ignores while watching his reason for existing walk around the zoo*



*my eyes bulge and my chair skates backwards as I lunge for the screen, my outstretched fingers grasping at air seeing Tavia Chase disappear over the edge of the lion pit* TAVIA!!! NO!!!


Bloody Hell! * Panning the camera to try and catch the action as it unfolds, I hold my breath as Sterling starts to scream*


*my knees buckle as I see Aric pulling his mother and a small child from the railing. I can feel my breath burning in my lungs, my hand curling into a fist as some human goes red-faced on my Love. Snarling, I bite out* I'm going out there. Now. *making a break for the door, my legs are swept from under me. I hit the ground hard and glare up into the steely eyes of Lucan Thorne. His silent warning to stay put is clear in his eyes*



*Glaring down at Sterling, he reaches a hand out to help him to his feet* No fucking way Harvard, you can't do her any good if you're ashes in the driveway. Your Aric has the situation under control, *He turns their attention back to the monitors as Gideon zooms in on Tavia*



*lunging past Lucan to the monitor, I absorb every inch of her body, looking for bruises, blood*



*watching the SUV move through traffic, I can feel her through our bond, getting closer. I head for the garage, feet pounding through the halls and into the elevator. My foot tapping as the elevator grinds to the garage level.*



*Standing next to Sterling in the garage as the SUV pulls in, he catches the full blast off anger mixed with relief coming from the male. He waits with every muscle in his body strung tight. His own relief at seeing his beloved Gabrielle loosening the ball of nerves in his gut that he has been carrying around all day*
