Wolf Charmer (Team Greywolf 2)

“I’ll fly it myself.” He’d learned to fly helicopters long before he joined Team Greywolf.

“Are you sure?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll beat the storm.”

“Yeah, but why the rush?”

“Kiara wants me at my brother’s castle in less than two hours, or else, she and the king will issue orders for Gaby’s execution.”

Slade scowled. “Her word is shit after nearly killing Cricket.”

“I better get going.”

Slade patted him on his back. “I trust you’ll land it if the storm turns bad.”

“Promise to keep Gaby safe until Rylee makes arrangements.”

“You have my word.”

“Later, then.” Not wanting to risk a delay due to the weather, he flew to his brother’s castle.

As if on cue, lightning struck just as he landed on the helipad. Thunder boomed. Rain pounded the ground. He stepped out to a line of royal guards. Why the fucking welcome committee?

Steele stalked into the hall and glowered at Kiara. She welcomed him at the entrance with a warm smile. “I so longed to see you, my mate.”

“I agreed to the terms. I want Gaby’s protection in writing.”

Kiara laughed. “Prince Steele, you only need my verbal promise.” She regarded him. “That is if you keep yours.”

“I shall.”

“Wonderful.” She attempted to kiss him, but he turned his face and she managed a peck on the check. “I only wish your brother were here. He rushed off on business. Myra is still on Wildwood Island. Hopefully on meds.”

“Stop disrespecting Queen Myra.”

Kiara sneered. “I’m only saying what everybody knows, she is not well in the head.”

“Myra has improved and furthermore, as my mate, you will not gossip about her health.”

“As your mate, I’d be most happy to keep quiet about all delicate matters.”

Sinclair came in. “Prince Steele, shall I prepare dinner for two?”

“Not tonight.” He lifted a brow at Kiara. “I’m sure the princess can spare me a day to attend to my royal duties.”

“I understand. This will give me a chance to begin arrangements for the mating ceremony.”

Steele flinched. “How soon?”

Kiara batted her long lashes. “Unfortunately, it might take as long as a month. My parents are in Europe for a few more weeks and the invitations must be sent.”

He faked a smile. “No hurry.”

Kiara walked up to him and bit the tip of his nose, an intimate gesture between mates. He stiffened, but kept his disgust at bay. She winked. “Later, love.”

Steele returned to his private den. He told his brother he’d call when he arrived. By now, he and Myra were on their way to Norway. He took out his mobile.

Conan immediately picked up. “Steele, I take it you are with Kiara.”
