In reality it was very simple, all his men especially those who were closest to Kelan had felt his change of mood and they didn’t want to be present when he was going to explode.
They had all known Kelan for three years because that was when he had come under Caleb’s command, and Kelan was usually a calm, serious man who was cold-blooded no matter what situation he found himself in, so it had been such a surprise when they sensed the murderous aura coming from him.
Each time it had been fleeting, but as Caleb no longer hid his relationship with Kelan, they had all noticed that these fleeting moments happened coincidentally each time Lena grabbed Caleb’s arm or when their boss put his arm around her shoulders.
At those moments, Kelan would clench his fists and everyone closest to him would have their hair stand up on their arms and some would even break out in a cold sweat.
So yes, call them cowards, but they really didn’t want to be there when Kelan would explode, especially since their boss for once didn’t seem to read the situation he was in at all.
Caleb after seeing his men fled didn’t know what to do, his man wanted to join the others on the battlefield where there were still few Titans and a dozen of Cassandra’s men, and at the same time, he couldn’t let Lena alone because she was the only human here and she was completely helpless.
Kelan then freed himself from his grip by removing his hand from his arm and he said in a cold tone without looking at him or even turning around : “I have to go, stay with her, you are the only one she knows here…”
When Kelan started to move again and was about to leave to join the others, he called out to him, shouting his name in a voice that sounded desperate… He really couldn’t believe his eyes, was Kelan really mad at him ?
When Kelan heard him calling him like that, he stopped dead in his tracks, he clenched and unclenched his fists, of course he was mad, extremely mad, who wouldn’t be pissed off to see his man holding another person for so long.
He turned around suddenly and grabbed the collar of his shirt to bring their heads closer together and he said to him still furious : “We’ll sort this out later.”
He then crushed his lips with his and after savoring their fiery kiss he bit his lower lip until he felt the coppery taste of blood and heard him growl.
After seeing the golden glow in his eyes and then the shocked look he was giving him, he felt slightly better, and so he turned on his heels to walk through the teleportation portal that closed right behind him.
Caleb still couldn’t believe it, Kelan was really mad at him, he ran his tongue over the cut Kelan had just made on his lip and he suddenly heard Miguel burst out laughing and when he looked at him Miguel said to him when he had recover enough to be able to speak : “Sorry Cal, but I’ve never seen that expression on your face before… I couldn’t tell that Kelan was so fierce.”
He then added more seriously : “By the way, you can tell Kelan that he can join us, if he’s interested of course.”
Caleb nodded and he smiled in spite of himself, Kelan had really turned him on and he knew it, he couldn’t wait to be alone with him… And then he remembered something important.
He asked Miguel hesitantly because it was a huge favor he was about to ask him : “Look Miguel, I know this is sudden and maybe I should have waited for a better opportunity to ask you this, but… Can you marry us ? The sooner the better.”
He then added hastily : “I really want you to be the one to marry us, and I would like to have the same ceremony you had with Elias, the very first sacred wedding ceremony.”
Miguel really wasn’t expecting this, but his smile widened because he was extremely happy that he had asked him to marry them, so he sincerely told him : “It will be an honor.”
………
Earlier, in another place of the Royal Palace, just after the 4th explosion and after Ian and Kerry had warned Kevin that they had entered the courtyard of the Royal Palace, he asked Mykael through the communication stones to remove the shield he had placed around them and he immediately activated his Stage 2.
While waiting for the signal, they had seen the soldiers who were posted here running in all directions receiving contradictory orders.
At first they had been ordered to stay put and prevent anyone from entering that wing of the Royal Palace.
Then when the explosions started, their commander ordered a group to go and check what was going on, but these soldiers never came back to report.
And while their commander, following the orders he had received earlier, told them not to move and that they had to hold their position, suddenly another soldier who must have been of a highter rank than him arrived and ordered them to come and fight in the courtyard right away with the others.
The soldiers had immediately obeyed this man’s orders and only a small group had remained here, which he had sent a little further to be closer to the place they were supposed to guard.
The soldiers who had just left to fight didn’t know what was waiting for them outside these walls and Kevin had smirked when he had seen that they weren’t very happy to receive so many different orders in such a short time.
The destabilization he had planned had worked perfectly and that was when he had received confirmation from Kerry and Ian that they had entered the courtyard of the Royal Palace.
As the corridors where they were had been emptied of their soldiers, he signaled to everyone to follow him because discretion was not an option anyway and their goal was to advance as quickly as possible to where the Queen was being held prisoner.
