No problemo!
“Hey bro,” Colton said, “want to explain what that was all about?”
“Nope, it’s something my mate told me…privately…and it doesn’t have anything to do with anyone else,” said Logan. “Hey, we’re here.”
Ian glanced out, shocked at where the car had stopped. “We’re staying here?”
“Yup, this is the only place Steel could reserve five suites for us. Is there a problem? He assured me it was a good place to stay.”
Kieran was busily googling and after finding their hotel, said, “Holy fucking shit balls! Do you know how much this will cost each night?”
“No, but Steel said not to worry because it’s his and Jackson’s mating gift for us and Colton and Ian,” said Logan.
“What about us?” asked Norman. “This doesn’t look like a place we can afford to stay in.”
“Steel said you shouldn’t worry because this is his and Jackson’s ‘welcome to the Blackwood Pack’ gift and before you say a word, Miss L, Franklin is paying for you because he said you deserve it given all the crap…his words…you had to put up with during years of High Council affairs,” Logan said, laughing.
“Oh. My. Gods! Miss L,” exclaimed Kieran. “There’s a world class spa right in the hotel! Holy shit balls, we must spend a day there at least.”
“Ki, what are we going to do while you’re in the spa?” asked Theo.
“You and Norm are coming with us. By the end of the day, we’re all going to look and feel fabulous,” Kieran said. “Let’s go everyone! We’re holding up traffic! Chop, chop! I want to see our suite!” Scrambling off his mate,Kieran proceeded to push Theo and Norm out the door while tugging at Logan’s arm.
Once everyone was out, a gentleman wearing a black suit walked up to Logan, introducing himself as the manager of the hotel and told him they’d all been checked in. Then he turned and instructed the bellmen who was standing at attention behind him to take their luggage up to the top floor. Once that was done, he said, “If everyone would please follow me…”
Once they reached their floor, the manager handed out keys to the rooms and the private elevator. Then he showed them the public sitting room that was exclusive to the guests staying on that floor and introduced the concierge staff who, he explained, would be available 24/7 to handle their every need. From there, he led them to their individual suites, each with a welcome basket including a bottle of champagne.
After making sure Theo, Norman and Lizzie would meet him and Kieran in the sitting room at six that evening, Logan finally led his mate into their suite and shut the door, grateful to be alone. Leaning against it, Logan smiled as he watched Kieran check everything out from the working fireplace to the Jacuzzi tub, big enough for two, sitting in their marbled bathroom.
Plopping himself on the sofa, Logan sat and listened with half an ear to Kieran’s running monologue about all of his discoveries. But his mind was really on the pup Kieran had in his belly.A pup! Mine! Something I always wanted, but that was before my life became hell on earth. Could I ever do what my father did? Disown my own flesh and blood! Did I get those genes? What if I did? What if my pup made me so angry I end up becoming my father?Suddenly Kieran was in his lap, holding his face so he had nowhere to look except at his mate.
“You better listen to me, my mate. First, you are not your father so stop with that crap. Second, do you honestly think our spirit and wolves would ever let you hurt our pup that way? Well in case you don’t know, let me make it fucking clear…no fucking way. Third, I know you, I am inside of you and I can see your heart, soul and mind and you don’t have a fucking mean bone in your body. So, no, you won’t hurt our pup, no way, no how. So, stop with the pity party and start with the ‘I think you’re the cutest thing ever, Kieran’ party’ because I’m expecting, and I expect more of that for the rest of my pregnancy. Got it?”
Grinning at his mate, Logan said, “Yup, got it. So, what do we do first at the ‘I think you’re the cutest thing ever, Kieran’ party?”
Chapter 37
Their spirit woke Kieran hours before daylight the next day, telling him he had to hurry to Loch Ness. Wasting no time, he shook his mate saying, “Macushla,get up, we need to go right away.”
Turning over and opening one eye, Logan murmured, “What is it babe? Go where?”
“I’m needed at Loch Ness! That’s why I had to be in Scotland. C’mon.” Kieran jumped out of bed and grabbed some clothes. “If you aren’t up by the time I’m dressed, I’m leaving without you.”
That did it. Logan growled and opened both eyes. “Babe, I’m getting up but tell me, what’s going on.”
Kieran pulled on his skinny jeans as he hopped his way to the bathroom, calling over his shoulder, “Ask our spirit!”
Rubbing the rest of the sleep from his eyes, Logan located their spirit and finally understood what Kieran was talking about. Groaning, he rose, grabbed his jeans and a sweatshirt before joining his mate in the bathroom. “I thought we would have a few days before you had to do this.”
“I thought so, too, but we spent those days in Ireland,macushla.We have to leave word with Theo and Norman, so they’re not upset again.”
“How much do they know about who you are?”
“Nothing really. They just know they felt better every time I touched them, but they do know about my spirit telling me I had to be in Scotland this week.” Kieran had finished applying his eyeliner and tinted lip gloss. “Shit,I don’t know what I’m doing! This is the first time I have my full powers. What if I fuck up?”
Logan grasped Kieran’s shoulders and said, “Look at me babe, we are in this together, so let’s promise each other we will make sure neither of us fucks up, okay?”
Kieran nodded, feeling the love of his mate calm him down. “What do we tell everyone?”
