Katya woke to sunlight streaming in the windows.

She sat up and looked around. Okay, she was alone in the bed. Where was Conner?

The clock on the wall stated it was ten in the morning. She’d slept way too long.

Tossing off the covers, she took a shower and dressed in jeans and a sweater, feeling more relaxed than she had in a very long time.

Last night she’d slept the entire night instead of waking several times to stare out the window and wonder what crises would arrive on her doorstep by morning.

Conner had exhausted her completely and she’d slept soundly, without the nightmares that typically disturbed her.

Perhaps having sex was going to be therapeutic as well as enjoyable.

She entered the kitchen but he wasn’t there. Coffee was, though, and she poured herself a cup, taking it with her as she wandered the rooms in search of her mate.

Voices came from her office down the hall, and she followed the sounds, opening the door to a full room.

No one ever entered her private office without her being there. Until now. Conner was seated at her desk, Noah standing next to him on one side, Elena on the other.

Elena leaned toward Conner as he whispered in her ear. When he finished speaking, Elena stood and began giving orders to the men assembled in the room, who nodded and left.

Conner looked up as one of the men said her name as he passed by.

“Morning,” he said, seemingly right at home with her papers on her desk, giving orders to her people. “Elena is translating for me. We’ve gotten a good start.”

Her mellow mood vanished in an instant. Anger filled her to the point of threatening to topple the cup of coffee in her trembling hand. She forced herself to maintain control. “What exactly do you think you’re doing in here?”

“I’m working.”

She didn’t like the smug look he gave her. Was this the same man who’d bathed her and pleasured her last night? Placing her cup on a nearby table, she entered the room and stopped in front of her desk. “Working on what?”

“I’ve made arrangements for a crew to bring supplies and manpower to start erecting sturdier fencing around the castle property.” He grinned and laced his fingers behind his head, leaning back in her chair. “Trust me, it’ll be wolf-proof.”

She had no idea what he was talking about. “We haven’t discussed that.”

“No, we haven’t. We have to protect the population here from both the inside and the outside. Keep the wolves contained and keep the hunters out.”

“I see.” So nice of him to completely take over. She should have thought of mating sooner. It could have done wonders for her beauty sleep.

“He has some very good ideas, Katya,” Elena said. “I am very impressed with how quickly he has made arrangements for our protection. You should see all that he’s accomplished this morning.”

She glared her cousin into silence. Yes, she could well imagine what he’d done. The evidence of it sat at her desk, in her chair, in her office.
