Page 63 of The Last Ultimatum: Part 2

“Who us? You have nothing to worry about,” Kayla assured me. “So how weird it is to drive on the wrong side of the road?”

“Super weird, but I'm managing it okay.”

I shook my head as they drove off and I headed for the office. Inside and down the elevator, Archie and Jef were collaborating over something when I passed through security.

“You're late,” Archie said.

“Better hurry. They're already in there waiting on you,” Jef warned.

I wasn't that worried about it. Everyone knew I was picking up Kayla today. If I’d left that up to Tilly who knew where those girls would be by now, if my mate even made it to the airstrip to pick her up.

She was getting better around town and could even mostly handle the drive to the Lodge and back home.

As if thinking it somehow conjured her up, Tilly called.

I looked down at my phone and pulled up the tracker I had on her phone before answering.

“Make a left,” I told her once I did.

“Are you sure?”

“Where are you going?”

“Into town. Probably to Silver Bells for breakfast. I need to keep her today so she doesn’t spend the entire week jetlagged.”

I grinned knowing that was exactly what I’d done to her and the kids when we flew back.

“Still a left to head into town.”

“Okay. Thanks.”

“Love you.”

I hung up, shaking my head.

“What’s that look for?” Taylor asked as she left the shower room probably after a morning workout.

“Kayla arrived this morning.”

“Oh boy. You’re going to have your hands full.”

“Tell me about it. Tilly just called and they’ve only been gone ten minutes.”

“Lost again?”

“No, but she would have been if she hadn’t called.”

She smiled. “She’s getting better though, right?”

“I think so.”

“We’re all really glad she’s here. Last weekend at ladies’ night she fit right in. Everyone just loves her.”

“So do I,” I admitted like a sappy fool. I didn’t care. We were still very much in that newly mated stage.

Michael poked his head out.

“Come on already. We don’t have all day to sit around twiddling our thumbs waiting on your ass.”
