Cedric POV
I head for my meeting with a tight gripped fist, my knuckles turning white, ready to beat anyone into submission just because I'm annoyed. And pissed. I'm always pissed when I have to be separated from my mate. It's hard to control myself when Hendrix isn't near.
Of course, this time is different though, I won't be gone long, and I'm here to make sure that her near death situation is resolved, and that the CPO pays for what they've done. I won't leave until it's ensured.
I'm here alone, Rick wouldn't leave his pregnant mate, and I already made Ethan leave his mate to come with me to Virginia. Then there's Savannah, thankfully she offered to stay and take care of Hendrix while I'm gone. It's only a two day trip. I'll get in and get out, then I'll be back home like nothing even happened. At least, that's what I hope will happen. You can never tell with these things. They're too unpredictable.
