Laura asked her eyes black as night."I changed my mind, I thought Nathan here would have had enough time to cool off and we could get married now." Rebecca told her."Like bloody hell," Nathan yelled. Rebecca put on a fake sad face."Nathan, darling I thought you would be happy to see me." Rebecca pouted."Rebecca I believe the last words I said to you were I never wanted to see you ever again as long as I live'" Nathan yelled at her."Nathan that is because I was pushing the marriage issue to much." Rebecca said."Rebecca do you make it a habit of coming to a gentleman's house not escorted. Lets take this into the parlor." Laura said. She excused the maids and told them to come back in an hour."You still have not answered my question, Rebecca," Laura said."We I though it would be ok see that we ar

Laura said as she waved the maids into the room."Dinner has been move to six don't be late any of you." Laura called after Nathan and Cassie as they went up to the second floor.Nathan opened the door for Cassie to go in before him. True to his word Norman and Jacob were hiding out in Nathan's office."You two are cowards you could not come down and saved me from all that bull shit?" Nathan asked closing the door."Like we wanted Rebecca to know we were here," Jacob said looking up from the map on the table."You could have stopped Cassie from running way. I had to send the stable master and house master to find her. You forget she is still learning to ride." Nathan said angrily."Well it looks like everything is ok, so what do you want, her to rope one of us in next," Jacob said with a grin."Both of you stop, Cassie everything Nathan told you a

"Oh, that is wonderful about Janice her grandfather is in poor health. I was trying to watch out for her, but it gets hard sometimes." Lorraine told her."Exactly how long have you been here?" Cassie asked. As she finished her tea. But Lorraine never got to answer Cassie as Nathan came back into the kitchen."Sorry about that I sent an urgent message to the captain of the ship telling him we would need more food brought aboard for the trip. Do you feel a bit better now?" Nathan asked her."Yes, thank you," Cassie said."Have breakfast sent up to Cassie's room for Susan, Cassie and Janice please. Please have the other staff informed that Janice is now Lady Janice and should be treated as such." Nathan told Lorraine."Of course Master Nathan. Lady Cassie take this basket of fruit with you. It will help." Lorraine said handing Cassie a basket of fruit. Then Cassie and Nathan left to go back up stairs and Lorraine went back to making dough for bread in the morning but now she was humming

"Well girls are you excited to start our adventure tonight" Nathan asked Susan and Janice."Will it take along time to get to the boat uncle? Susan asked"Yes that is why we are leaving tonight I have made sure the carriage is as comfortable as possible so you can sleep for some of the ride." Nathan told her."Nathan and Cassie I wish to speak with you both in private please," Laura said getting up."What is it mother?" Nathan asked."Your office please both of you.," Laura said.When they got to Nathan office Laura closed the door."Both of you sit down." She told them. Cassie and Nathan sat on the sofa not understanding what was going on."First the whole house is talking. I have had Lorraine to put a stop to it. After the maids cleaned your room this morning Nathan and found the sheets you tried to hide. There has been none stop chatter.

Cassie told the girls goodnight and went to join the guys up on the deck."There you are," Nathan said as Cassie approached them."Sorry I took so long I found out something interesting from Janice." Cassie said."Oh, and what was that?" Nathan asked as he put his arms around Cassie as they stood by the railing of the ship. Norman and Jacob were standing a short distance away smoking cigars."Susan is definitely a half blood, and Janice is a shape shifter wolf, your father knew this when he approved of us adopting her."
