“This is what you want?”
“Some kind of acknowledgement of our bond would be nice.”
“Then that is exactly what you will get.Two weeks' notice isn't much, but we will do the best we can.Is there anything that I need to take care of?”
“No, the planner will take care of everything and let you know what you need to do as it happens,” Cally explained.
“I will look at this as a good thing, and we will move forward.Will I get the opportunity to talk to the planner before the wedding?”He asked.
“She will contact you soon and explain things to you and get the information that she needs from you.We also need to get her protection because she is a cousin and a beautiful one.”
“I guess she is single too?”Carlos assumed.
“That is true.Normally, she wouldn't be the best choice, but she is the only wedding planner in the family that I know of.”
“You think Hector will come after her?”
“Why wouldn’t he?She would have been a better choice for a mate.”
“You’re a wonderful choice.”
“For you.He needs someone who knows how to entertain and behave at council parties.That’s Bea, not me, but she won’t be interested in him, and he doesn’t want to be rejected.”Cally concluded.
There was no denying that the way he had chosen to meet her was when she was under his control.She knew this was what he would do to any cousin that he set his sights on.That's why they needed to protect Bea and keep her from harm.Cally didn't have much respect for somebody who would abduct a female to mate with them.She thought the world of her cousin and didn't want her forced into anything she didn't want.It was true that Bea had gone through the change, even though she was single, and that she could fight.The problem was that anyone could be overwhelmed by numbers or even tranquilized as she had been.
Overwhelming numbers were what they would have to deal with.While it was true he was dealing with mercenaries that weren't the best, even those can have a good day.Her mate was looking at her, and she realized she had stopped eating.
“You're thinking too much, and I think that everything will work out for the best.My pack will be thrilled to have the white wolf visiting.”
“I'm not sure that she will want anyone to know, at least not in advance.There are those who still want to capture her, and they don't care that she's mated.Some say there are ways to get around that, but it is painful.Since she would be the one bearing the brunt of the pain, they don't care.”Cally admitted.
“I've heard that, but I also heard that it had never been done.So, who can say if it's possible or not?”
“I've heard it has been done, but a long time ago.”
“That may just be a legend built out of wishful thinking.I pray to the goddess that we will never find out because there is something completely wrong in doing that.”Carlos offered.
“I agree, but the kind of males that want to do that don’t care.”
It was true that only a dastardly male would put a female through the kind of pain rumor said severing a bond would cause.The whole thing was so bad that even the council had condemned it and made it illegal.If it was done and proven, it resulted in a death penalty.It was the only way to deal with it because it was the only way to free the female from the new bond without subjecting her to the same pain again.She could only hope that they would never have to find out whether it was possible and whether the council would go through with the punishment they had set.What was best was if no one found out.
She turned her attention back to her food because she was sure that her mate wanted to turn in for the night.That was one area that they had moved forward because they had sex often.Cally also couldn't deny that they talked a lot, and she had learned some about him, and he had learned much about her.It was hard to get him to talk about himself, but she had gotten better at that.She'd always thought she was a private person, but she had nothing on him.That might be because his relationships had also always been shallow, and they did nothing more than sexual.
Cally didn't like thinking about all that experience, but she had to admit it had paid off.He was an incredible lover, and he thought more about her pleasure than his own.They finished their food and hurried to turn in for the night.She was already anticipating the pleasure that he would give her, and she would give him in return.
It was morning, and she could barely move.Last night, there had been more living than sleeping, and now she could feel it.Since the change, she knew that she wouldn't feel bad for long.Cally got up, took a shower, got dressed, and headed to breakfast.He was already sitting there waiting for her.She could smell the aroma of some really good food in her stomach growling like a beast.This would be another busy day once they were through eating and headed to work.With the extra help Tyne had sent, they were slowly catching up.
At some point, she hoped they would not have to go out all the time and would be able to do other things.They were using the reward program Tyne liked for his field personnel, but they had to exclude themselves because they always won.Rewards wouldn't help if they always went to the same person, and no matter how hard they worked, the other teams couldn't seem to beat them.
Some of the teams were experienced, but they simply weren't fast enough to win over them.She didn't understand why that was the case, and some of the teams were wolves just like they were.He grabbed the list, and she resupplied the truck, and they headed out to one location after another.It had been three days since the last attack, and she suspected that whoever was behind it needed to get some more people, since his people kept getting arrested.
“Do you think he's gotten resupplied on people yet?”Carlos asked.
“I hope he never does, but you would think he'd had long enough.”
“That's what I think too, so we'll need to be extra careful today and from now on.”
“Have you not been careful?I know I have.”Cally said.
