Page 77 of Her Loving Hero

His phone rang. It was Gray.

“What’s going on?” he demanded.

“I hear you’re a hero,” Gray said.

“I should be good to go tomorrow,” Wyatt said as he looked at his brothers out of the corner of his eye.

“You’re grounded.” Gray said, his voice garbled. “Stay home. Hug your family.” Wyatt pressed the phone up against his ear so that he could better hear what Gray was saying.

“But-” Wyatt started to protest.

“Shut up Leeds.” Gray yelled over the sound of the military transport. “I’ve already talked to Liam, you’re not heading over this way. You’re staying in the states.”

Even through all of the sound, he heard Dex and Kane in the background.

“Good job.”

“Atta boy.”

Wyatt felt his temper rise. “Gray, I was part of this mission at the beginning. I’ll go over Liam’s head to the Captain.”

He could hear Gray’s laughter. “Yeah, that’ll work. There’ll be other missions. You only have one family.”
