“He actually supports the council with allocating more funding for intelligence.”
“So he doesn’t hate you?” asked Gaby.
He shook his head. “He’ll mourn me as if I died in battle, and I will for the loss of my family. The good news is the queen has been cured from the poison to keep her from cycling. They hope to have a litter possibly this spring.”
Gaby kept her tone serious. “There’s no part of you that resents no longer being a prince?”
“The only prince I wish to be is yours.”
Rylee sighed. “Okay, you two. After our blood bond, go on a real honeymoon and then report to duty, say in three weeks?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Rylee smiled. “Good. I better check on Nik. He’s been delayed, but should be in California tomorrow.” She left them alone.
Gaby gazed at him. “So what is the blood bond?”
“We slice our palms and share our spiritual sibling bond. After tonight, I will be Steele Greywolf, brother of Rylee.”
“Cool.”
Steele held her and glanced down at Gaby. “So where shall we go for our honeymoon?”
“How about somewhere cold where you can wear fur when the need arises?” She threw him a playful grin. “Or better yet, keep me nice and warm.”
He laughed. “I think you’ll enjoy Iceland.”
“As long as I’m with you, it doesn’t matter where we go.”
“How about we start by heading to our bedroom?”
The End
