Chapter 81

I was sitting at my desk, filled with paperwork on the whereabouts of Dexter. I have tracked him down and if my calculations were correct, he was in the southwestern part of the southern territory. He was on the run and Everest sent some scouts down to confirm his location. We would not be put on a wild goose chase.

My phone buzzed as a text came through. I picked it up off the desk and looked at the screen as it lit up. My eyes glanced over at the time. It was already three in the afternoon. "Where has the time gone to today? Sheesh." I said out loud to myself. I put in my password to unlock my phone and went into the text screen. It was from Miranda. My lips tugged upwards as I read her long text message.

"Hey! We miss you. Cassie says hey what's poppin! Isn't she so very sassy now? Honestly, she is too sassy if you ask me and has been hanging around Brent too much lately. Lol. Anyway, some very exciting things are happening here in the South. We have found where the witches council is hiding. We are watching them closely and using my magic to counter their cloaking spell to listen in on their conversations. They are working with Brent's brother, Dexter, and they are trying to figure out a way to get him back here so they can make their next move. We are fine now, but from what we understand, they want to take over the Southern Kingdom, then take back the North. They have an army behind them. It seems this is never ending. We might want to get together to come up with a plan and stop this nonsense before it begins? Thoughts? Oh, and our marking ceremony is on Friday. I am nervous. What if it doesn't work?"

I read her text and let out a long sigh. I stood up and stretched and walked out of my office and made my way to Everest's office. I walked in and he offered me a warm smile. I returned the smile and held up my phone with a small shake. "Hey babe, we need to make plans soon. I got a text from Miranda." I told him and he nodded his head in acknowledgment.

"I too received a message, except from Brent and not Miranda." He chuckled "Very detailed information on what is going on down there. Plans, witches council movements, Dexter's exact location. I was just about to come find you and let you know we should get our bags packed." I watched as he leaned back in his office chair.

I had sat down on the opposite side of the desk and nodded my head. "Oh, I was going to ask the same from you." I smiled. "Are the boys coming with us?"

He shook his head, "I wish that they could, but I feel they would be safer here than coming with us. They could be a liability, a weakness. I couldn't stand if anything happened to them." He choked out the last few words, fighting back his own emotions.

"I know, I was going to suggest that they stay here with Amber and Jameson." He nodded his head, standing and walking around the desk.

"That sounds great. Jameson wouldn't feel comfortable leaving Amber right now anyway. Especially considering she is supposed to be taking it easy with a little over a month to go." His hand outstretched towards me. I placed my hand in his as I let him help me up from my chair.

"Good. The boys and the territory will be in good hands while we are away," I told him and he smiled, leading me out the room.

"I guess we should inform everyone." He suggested and I nodded as I walked with him down the hallway. I looked up at him when he stopped walking for a moment. His eyes were glazed over as he was obviously linking the people who we would be meeting with. When he was finished, he glanced down at me, "Would you like to go for a short walk before dinner?"

"I would like that very much," I answered as a smile played at the corners of my mouth.

He pulled me closer to him, and not only could I feel the warmth of his body, but I swear I could hear his heart beating. Time seemed to slow down as his hand reached for my cheek. He turned my face gently to look up to him as intimacy between us grew quickly. My breathing hitched and my heart seemed to skip a beat. Heat flowed through my entire body as his other hand was gently placed on the opposite cheek. The padding of his thumb moved slowly across my bottom lip, causing my mouth to part slightly. My gaze never left his as the excitement between us grew. When his thumb
