dislike of being called a princess came from that and not wanting to repeat that experience.
“He has some sort of speech planned where he tells everyone we are now married, and you are our daughter. Simple really.” My mother was almost finished with my hair.
“And how many people will be here for all of this?”
“Not really sure.” My mother dropped the last chunk of hair she was working on.
I had to hope with the short notice it would be a nice small dinner party and no one from my mother’s family would be invited. I had a feeling they wouldn’t be happy to see me not with Logan, and even less happy to see that my mother went and married the pharaoh after they told Seth no. Good thing no one could just time travel right into the party. I had to at least be thankful for that.
My mother backed up, and I stood and turned to her. She really looked like a princess now. She was always beautiful, but now she really shined. Her eyes sparkled, and her hair had an incredible sheen to it. Her smile told me everything. She was more than just happy. She was completely where she always wanted to be. She was finally with the love of her life. I knew how that felt. I never wanted to be separated from Seth again. I couldn’t imagine how my mother made it through eighteen years without my father, but she was back with him now. That was how I wanted my life to turn out. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with the one I loved.
My mother pulled me into a hug.
“Thank you for being brave and for coming back here. I know how much easier it would have been to stay in the future. As odd and weird as it seems, this is where we were always meant to be. This is our home.”
The servant girls entered the room again and our moment alone was over. It was time for my mother to go get married, and me to get ready for a party I really didn’t want to attend.
My mother briefly kissed my head before she left for the ceremony. I was disappointed to see her leave. There wouldn’t be too many more alone moments for us like this. Everything was changing, and that was good and bad. I was kind of sad to see her walk away. I really wanted to see my parents marry. Kye reassured me that the real wedding function was the party that night. My mother stopped at the doorway and turned back to me one last time.
“Welcome home, Marcella.”
I nodded to her. It was true, this was our home. We were home.
Chapter 3
Wedding Time
I stood in my doorway and waited. The guards outside the room didn’t move as I stood there, nor did they look at me. It would have been nice to talk to someone. Kye had said he was coming right back, but I had beat him when getting ready. Ty stood behind me in the room, also keeping watch over me. I hated that I couldn’t speak freely to him when others were around. I had no idea how Seth got through doing that.
Kye returned from down the hallway. I followed him back into the rooms, away from the guards. Glad he was allowed to leave the room to get answers. The guards had made it very clear I wasn’t to leave the quarters I was confined to.
“The general and Seti will be stopping to pick you up,” Kye told me.
My heart did a little flip. Seth was coming back to get me. Since yesterday, I was nothing but disappointed at our short meeting. I had hoped he would come back after he left with his father, but he did not. Ty tried to reassure me that Seth wanted to be with me, but I still felt like he might be mad at me. I didn’t want to break up with him the last time I returned from the past. In fact, since the day he first told me that he loved me, I had been prepared to spend my life with him. Logan interfered, and all I could do now was hope that Logan didn’t win by making Seth hate me.
“And the room? How many people have arrived?” Ty asked.
Ty was calculating how to keep me safe. My father had told me that many people had been invited, but not many would show up. I really didn’t know what many
