WYATT
Kacela was all business. Nellie had found us a great suite at a hotel we don’t usually stay at and she put it under Earl’s name, thinking that his name would be the least likely to spark recognition if we were still being watched. When we arrived, Kacela took the offered key card and let herself in, going straight to the table in the little common area. She dumped out her bag and began making stacks.
“How can I help?” Earl asked, observing her for a moment.
“I’m dividing them into names,” she answered. Nellie dropped her bag on the floor and came over to help, also. Within a few minutes we had all of the DVDs divided. Kacela was looking at them with a frown on her face.
“How many do you think are here?” she asked, beginning to count. After a moment, Earl answered.
“Eighty-four.”
She picked up a random DVD and looked a
KACELANellie’s excitement was contagious. Even Earl seemed to be getting into it, commenting that he needed a whole new summer wardrobe. I rolled my eyes. Clothing was never anything that got me excited, partly because nothing ever fit right. I’m just too tall.We piled back into the car, this time Earl driving. He drove over to the mall, a massive two-story affair. I got out of the car and sighed. Wyatt grinned, squeezing my hand. He knew I hated shopping.“Let’s grab suitcases, first,” I suggested. Earl shook his head.“How will we know what size to buy if we don’t buy the clothes first?” he said, reasonably. I rolled my eyes. Wyatt chuckled out loud.Earl left us to go check out the Tommy Bahama store and Nellie took charge of me. “They have an American Tall store on the second floor. We’ll be abl
KACELAEarl and I were on an early flight, so we left our luggage in the common area and we all went into our bedrooms. I slipped into the bathroom to wash my hands; the chocolate and caramel were sticky and had gotten all over.I was brushing my teeth when Wyatt came in and gave me a hug from behind. I paused with the toothbrush to squeeze him back and then continued my ministrations to my teeth. He began kissing me on the side of my neck, sending tingles all the way down to my feet. He started kissing my mark and I turned around, dropping the toothbrush into the sink. I faced him and put my butt against the counter, wrapping my legs around him.He kept kissing me and then dipped his head lower, sinking his teeth into my neck, remarking me. I arched my back, my mouth open in a silent scream as the mate bond flowed through me. I felt rejuvenated and even stronger than before. Wyatt kissed the mark he had left
KACELAI fell asleep in the plane. I had booked coach seats, something I was used to flying despite my height. Earl pursed his lips as we walked past the first class seats and had a long talk with the flight attendant. It was to no avail. They were booked solid and we stayed in the coach seats.I was also used to putting in headphones and sleeping. My last vision was of Earl looking at me with frustration as I drifted off. I slept with my head on the window, waking up when we started descending. I felt great. Earl looked tired.The bright sun hit us as we got off the plane. It was always dreary in Seattle. The sun was out a lot where the Packlands were located, but mountain sun is different from ocean sun, for some reason. The heat felt different, too, and I immediately took off my cardigan and disappeared into the bathroom to change into something more summery. I met up with Earl and we dra
KACELAHe didn’t look surprised to see us. I don’t know what I had expected, maybe jumping up and running away or at least looking chagrinned. He was neither. He just grinned at me and waved the girl away.“Give me a minute, love,” he said, not looking at her. I glanced at the girl, and she was pouting, her lower lip sticking way out and her hands on her hips. I glared at her, and she raised a look of surprise at me, appraising me for a moment and then turning on her heel.“You’ve got my number,” she shouted over her shoulder to Chad. He idly waved his hand, and she stomped off in a huff.“Took you guys long enough,” he said, reaching for his drink. Earl moved when he moved, and Chad looked at him and laughed.“Relax, big guy. I’m just trying to maintain my buzz.”“Where’s your dad, Chad?&rdquo
KACELAIt was really anticlimactic. He was definitely weak, and I was surprised that he thought he could best me in a fight. The only thing I could figure is that his overinflated ego wouldn’t let him think that a woman could beat him at anything. He leaped at me, slowly and awkwardly, giving me ample time to position myself to counter. I caught him around the waist, turned him and snapped his neck in one smooth move. There was no fight and no grappling. It was over so quickly I surprised myself. I had expected more.I spent the next twenty minutes going through the home and trashing it, pulling out the money and jewelry that I could find and bagging it up into a beach tote I found in one of the spare bedrooms. I was trying to make it look like a burglary and I think I did a pretty good job. I figured I would give the money and jewelry to some of his victims to put towards their new lives and healing. I
WYATT I was waiting anxiously for Kacela to get back. She and Earl were only gone for a total of three days but it felt like ages. Nellie had teased me about my lack of focus, giving up and dealing with most of the pack issues herself. I didn’t mind. I was grateful. I was pacing in front of the doors and making the servants nervous. One worked up enough courage and came to me. “My king, we can mind link you when she arrives,” Toby said, tentatively. I smiled at him, reassuringly. “They’re going to mind link me when she comes through the front gate. I am just excited.” He smiled a tolerant smile at me. “I understand.” He went back to sweeping the entry way. I stepped outside to continue my pacing so that I wouldn’t disturb their work. Shortly after midnight I finally got the mind link that they were coming through the gate. I stood on the steps, impatient, waiting for Kacela to get here. When the car drove up, I ran down the stairs. Earl was driving and he looked exh
KACELAI was shaking from the intensity of the orgasm I had just had, but I could tell that Dex wasn’t done with me yet. My legs were like jelly, and he knew that. He knew what he had done and there was more in store for me.He picked me up and wrapped me in a towel, carrying me to the bed and depositing me on my back, my wet hair splayed over the bed. I smiled at him as he dried me, gently rubbing the towel over my body. When he began drying my legs, I submissively opened them for him.He dropped down to his knees, hooking one over his shoulder and then began kissing me, running his tongue over my slit. I felt my body beginning to respond, even though it was tired. I could smell my arousal and my body became slick.Wyatt looked up at me from between my legs with a small grin on his face. I could still see Dex in his eyes and I knew that they were both in control, both enjoying this. I grinned ba
KACELAI knew that Earl and Wyatt were waiting for me so I grabbed a sandwich from the buffet in the dining room and hurried over to Wyatt’s office. I could hear laughing on the other side of the door, so I slowed, not wanting to interrupt anything. I could hear Earl talking.“And then I realized she had booked us in coach. Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve flown coach?” Wyatt was roaring with laughter as Earl recounted some of the less luxurious aspects of our trip. Even Nellie was sympathetic.“What did you do with your legs?” she asked.“He folded them up and ignored the pointed glares from the woman in front of us,” I said, walking in and taking a bite from my sandwich.“She was pretty angry,” Earl admitted. “But the flight attendant said I couldn’t stick them into the aisle.”“They’d get run over by
KACELA Later that night I was undressing in front of the full-length mirror. I frowned at my body. The scars were fading but I still had a few bad ones. The one that wrapped from my hip over the top of my abdomen was still ropey, even more so than the C-section scar. The scar on my face was also fading and I could now see light from that eye after years of seeing nothing but blackness. The doctors tell me that the mate bond is slowing healing me. I didn’t say anything to Wyatt. I was pretty sure he would use it as an excuse to mate even more, and I wasn’t sure I could keep up. That man was insatiable. As if he heard my thoughts, Wyatt came up behind me and nuzzled my neck, running his hands down the length of my side. I shivered. He was always able to make my body respond. “What’s on your mind?” Wyatt asked, nibbling my ear. I leaned my head back towards him. “I was just thinking about how fast the kids are growing up,” I said, a little sadly. Wyatt smiled. “Aella is o
WYATTFIVE YEARS LATERAfter having Aella, Kacela came home after two days. Dali had worked so hard to keep Aella alive that she was unable to warn us. When Dali didn’t show up after the first day, I insisted that the doctors give Kacela some of my blood to help the healing process along. They kept her for another day to be sure, but Dali came back and Kacela began healing quickly.The complications that Aella had didn’t keep Kacela from becoming pregnant again and we soon added twins to our little family. We spent most of our time trying to keep up with Axel and Luca. Even with the help of two full time nannies, we were exhausted most evenings when we went to bed.Our kingdom thrived. Kacela had a knack with the people and her office door was always open, literally. Sometimes she would come down in the morning to someone already waiting for her, needing her council or wisdom. I
KACELA I curled up next to Wyatt, happy. I dozed off but woke up a few times, uncomfortable. I finally decided to take a shower. I got up quietly so that I didn’t wake Wyatt. I slipped into the bathroom and turned the shower on, scalding hot. I stepped in and let the water rain down over my swollen body. This felt better. I was just sore everywhere, carrying all my extra weight. The doctors said that Aella was going to be a big baby. I wondered what sort of shifter she would be. When the species mix, like Wyatt and myself, you don’t know what the baby will be until they come of age. You can suspect; perhaps she will have wolf tendencies or Lycan strength at an early age, but you won’t know for sure until they shift. I hoped she was Lycan. I felt a breeze behind me and turned to see Wyatt framed in the doorway, looking concerned. “Are you okay?” he asked, quietly. I nodded.
WYATTUnlike Lia and Jarrett, we wanted to find out the sex of our baby. I was thrilled to find out that we were having a little girl.“What about Abigail?” she asked me, out of the blue one night. I had almost been asleep.“For what?” I asked, confused. We were in the process of hiring her assistant and I couldn’t remember an Abigail that had applied for the job.“For our baby’s name.” She paused a minute. “She needs a strong name.”“Like Kacela,” I murmured, snuggling into her and putting my nose in her neck and nuzzling. She groaned and I got hard, moving over the top of her. She opened her legs and I thrust in, hard and fast, satisfying both of us. I waited until her writhing stopped under me and then I let my seed coat her insides. I dropped beside her, both of us panting from the quick intensity of that coupling.
KACELAI could hear the commotion in the yard. I was waiting where Mrs. Woltkamp told me to wait, in the castle near the back patio doors. She said she would come for me when I needed to go out.There was a lot of pomp and circumstance with the whole celebration. The guests were fed, buffet style, and the kids were now playing in the yard while the servers cleared away dishes. After the coronation there would be dessert, drinks and dancing. I was looking forward to the dancing part.Little Emily tugged on my dress. I looked down and smiled at her, a cute little pixie in pink ruffles. She put her arms up to me, wordlessly. Her older sister was assimilating into the pack well and had picked up enough English to get her needs met. Emily rarely spoke, clinging to a few select people. I was honored to be one.I picked her up and held her, cuddling her to my chest while she sucked on her fingers
WYATT The morning of the coronation began rainy. Mrs. Woltkamp was running around, wringing her hands. She had checked the forecast numerous times and it wasn’t supposed to rain. I had reassured her that it was just a cloudburst, over in an hour. I was right. Kacela was incredibly nervous for the day. We had invited people from other pack. She was concerned that they would recognize her as the feared werewolf hunter. “Can’t we just do the coronation privately?” she had asked. I shook my head. “No. First, I’ve been waiting a century for this. I’m going to enjoy every moment of it. Second, it’s custom. I don’t think you want to insult other packs as your first political act.” She had quieted down, until she saw her gown. It was a sleeveless, low cut piece that showcased her muscular body incredibly well, but also showed her scars. “I’m embarrassed,” she said, qui
KACELA I helped Lia back to the blanket. I had no idea what to do and so I tried to mind link again, putting everything I had into it. I finally broke through. Hello, gorgeous, Wyatt purred in my mind. Wyatt. Lia’s having her baby. We’re down by the lake. You need to send help right now! I broke it off, needing to focus. Lia lay back. “I’m going to take a peek, okay, Lia?” I asked, praying I wouldn’t see what I was expecting to see. When I looked, I saw the baby crowning. Yep. She was right. The baby was coming. And I definitely didn’t want to see that. “I thought you said this little one wasn’t in position,” I joked, helping her lean back and lifting her dress. I looked around and found the bottle of wine that Lia had brought for me to enjoy with lunch. I had only drank about a quarter of it so I poured the rest on my hands and arms,
KACELA I’ve been married for three weeks, now. When we got back to the pack there were a few things we needed to take care of. Lia had named the girls Emily and Rachel and she had spent some time trying to find any relatives that they may have alive. When the extensive search pulled up nothing, she and Jarrett adopted them. There was a quiet ceremony for the girls to be adopted. We knew that they were shifters. My wolf could sense it and Dex was a little unsettled about the whole thing. We would find out when they aged what sort of creature they were. Lia was not worried. Neither was Dali. I worried enough for the both of us. My coronation ceremony was set for two weeks. The castle was in a bustle, planning for it, and I had relinquished most of the duties to the house mother. I didn’t particularly care about the color of my napkins, much to Lia’s mirth, so I left the finer details to Mrs. Wolt
WYATT After the surprise wedding, we went back to the hotel to celebrate. I had planned on celebrating in bed, but our guests had other ideas. We ended up at a restaurant in a private room, dancing, drinking and laughing well into the early morning hours. When we finally dragged ourselves back to the hotel, the front desk clerk nicely reminded us that checkout was at 10:00am. “Did you like the surprise?” I asked Kacela, somewhat worriedly. We hadn’t had a chance to be alone since the wedding and I began to have doubts. She responded by flinging herself into my arms. I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around me, grinding herself into my rod that was becoming awake. I put my lips on her, kissing her hard. “What is it that you want, Mrs. King?” I asked. “I want you to fuck me hard, Mr. King,” she whispered back, nibbling on my earlobe. That was all the encouragement I needed. I reached u
