KACELAWyatt gave the orders to his attendants to move my belongings to his room.  Most of the attendants looked pleased but there were a few that had stormy faces.  Despite Wyatt’s reassurances, I knew that I had my work cut out for me.  I wasn’t liked most places I went, due to my chosen occupation, however I didn’t want to make things harder for Wyatt.  And, even though I wasn’t telling Wyatt this, I was considering not having a long distance relationship.  I was considering staying here with him.We convened in his private office located on the same floor as our bedrooms.  I discovered that I, too, had an office on this floor.  I was really going to have to take the time to explore the castle at some point soon.We asked Jarrett and Lia to join us.  I also suggested Nellie, but for some reason Wyatt didn’t want that.  I don’t know if he had second thoughts about what he told me

KACELAIt was at least an hour before Wyatt and I made it down to his office.  I don’t know if Lia and Jarrett were on time, themselves, but they were waiting for us with a smug look on their faces.  I ignored it, blushing deeply, but Wyatt acted like he was accepting a gold medal on a podium.  I smacked his shoulder to get him to stop while Jarrett and Lia dissolved into giggles.I had verified that Julie was outside Wyatt’s office and we left the door cracked.  We didn’t want it to look like we were inviting her to listen in, but we also wanted her to hear what we were going to say.  I suggested that Wyatt call Julie and ask her to bring in some coffee for us.  He didn’t have to; as soon as our voices started sounding serious, she knocked and poked her head in, offering it to us.“Thank you, Julie.  That would be nice.” Wyatt said with a smile.  I could feel the hurt coming from him th

KACELA Wyatt greeted me with a hug. “I didn’t like that at all,” he whispered into my hair. I frowned with annoyance. I wasn’t weak. I needed him to quit treating me like a porcelain doll. “The warriors said that Jones stopped at Dumkin’s Brews,” Earl said. “Looks like he’s going to be there for most of the night.” I looked sideways at the men. “How do you feel about another little adventure?” I said with a grin. Wyatt groaned but Jarrett laughed. “What did you have in mind?” I shrugged. “How good are you with technology?” I told them the plan. Earl and Jarrett were enthusiastic, but Wyatt was apprehensive. “I don’t understand why you have to be the one to do the distracting,” he said, quietly. I chuckled. “Do you really think you can hold Jones’ attention?” I snickered. “I don’t think you’re his type.” I could feel his trepidation coming through our mate bond and it really irritated me. I didn’t want our relationship to always be him being worried that I was

WYATTI grabbed Kacela and whirled her around in our bedroom.  She laughed while I howled with joy, Dex being part of the celebration.  I was immediately bombarded with concerned questions from Earl, Jarrett, Lia, and several of the staff that were in the castle. It’s fine!  Good news! I mind linked back and then pushed them out.  I knew that the rumors were going to be running rampant but I was okay with that.  It’s taken us weeks to get to this point and, honestly, I wasn’t sure we would ever be here. She laughed at me and then pushed back, forcing me to put her down.  “Wyatt,” she scolded.  “I’m exhausted.  And we need to be up early tomorrow to figure out what we managed to get from the computers.”I picked her up again.  “I want to celebrate,” I said, pouting.  “I have the perfect way. . . “+++++++++++

WYATTWith those words, the meeting was over.  Lia and Jarrett left first, both somber, and Earl followed shortly after, already planning his next move.  I hoped he warned Nellie before he had her arrested and thrown into the dungeon.“I need to go down to my office and get a few things done,” I said.  I didn’t want to.  I wanted to gather Kacela up and take her to our room and not come out for weeks.  I didn’t want her leaving for Seattle.  I wanted her to stay here, where she was safe.I knew she could feel what I was feeling because she looked sympathetic.  “Why don’t we put part of our plan into action?” she suggested.  “Supposably I’m going into heat, right?  Wouldn’t it make sense for you to spend a lot of your time with me?”I nodded.  “It would,” I agreed. “So, give me an hour to get my stuff together.&
