Transmission

KAIDE WOKE with a start, his animal ears alert. He looked around in his dark bedroom, at a loss as to what disturbed him, when he heard the sound of boots on the stairs.

“It’s only me.” Olin bowed when he reached the top step, though Kaide could only see his silhouette in the pale pillars of moonlight that streamed through the window.

“What time is it?”

“Well before dawn. They’ve called an emergency council of Syndicates in the capital. Just received the transmission. Syndicate Mora requested your presence personally, sir.”

Kaide rubbed his hand over his face to combat the last thoughts of sleep. At his side, Blossom lay curled in the sheets—his sheets—her hair spread around her like a halo, sound asleep with an armful of fabric clutched against her bare chest.

The sight of her made his heart ache. She was here. She wanted to stay, and maybe someday, she’d marry him. Somehow, by the grace of the Alder Mother herself, Kaide had managed to get her to stay. The realization of all that had changed between them filled his heart to the brim, as if it were going to explode.

It was the moment that made him sure, above all others, that he wanted her in his life. Not for a night or a week or even a year. Forever. He wanted her as his bride, as his wife. That pull he’d felt toward her in the Alderwood had only grown, evolving into a sheer, overwhelming need to be with her.

“Sir?”

“I’m coming.” Kaide whispered low as he toyed with the tip of one of her curls. “Get my cloaks from the service quarters downstairs. I don’t want to wake her.”

“As you wish, sir.” Olin’s boots clapped together with a small thud before he tip-toed back down the stairs. “I’ll get the transport ready and meet you downstairs.”

“No. Wake Druma. He’s coming with me this time.” Kaide didn’t bother to look at Olin. He knew his expression would be stern and laced with anger, but it couldn’t be helped.

Kaide planted a kiss on her shoulder, so gentle he was sure he wouldn’t wake her. He moved about the room as quietly as possible, readying himself for the trip, and when he was certain he’d done all he could, he slipped out of the room and down the stairs.
