hoped to do that after I had a career going. Whatever that was going to look like. I hoped that was five to six years from now. I’d be about twenty-eight years old.
As we lived a long time with an extended fertility, I didn’t see any problem with waiting that long.
Jarret was covered in paint. He sat on the porch humming to himself next to Preston, who was talking on the phone about some obnoxious customer they’d had that day. He was assuring the person on the phone that they, as the employee, had done nothing wrong.
These were the sounds I loved, the smells I’d never stop adoring, and the way it was for us as a family.
The sound of a car pulling down the driveway surprised me. Our house was mostly done, but no one came to visit us unannounced. Rainer was big on that. Unless there was an emergency, we were available by appointment.
Loups were an emergency, but they were few and far between these days. I was the only Omega, but my schedule had eased considerably.
Rainer strode from the kitchen out the front door. He’d deal with whoever it was. I looked back down at my textbook. I could do this electronically, but I loved this paper book. Still, I couldn’t seem to manage to pull my attention away from the low spoken conversation outside. Okay. I had to go see who was there.
I strode through the door as Jarret opened it for me.
“Kenzie, I think you’d better come.”
I was already there. I squeezed his arm on the way out to the porch. The sounds of our swamp hit me hard as I exited. I loved it here.
A woman and a man I’d never seen before stood on the driveway. They held a baby.
Preston met my gaze. “This is crazy.”
What was crazy? I could ask, but instead, I strode forward towards our guest. Rainer wasn’t worried, or I’d never have gotten this far. The woman had dark circles under her eyes, and the man had a protective arm around her.
“Omega?” Her voice was low. “I’m sorry to bother you, but we didn’t know where to go.”
“I’m glad you came.” I didn’t really know what they wanted yet, but…then I smelled it. The baby. They were here for her. She was very young, a few weeks old. And her scent…I knew it.
Omega.
“We were afraid, hiding. Our people were going missing, and then that stopped thanks to you. That’s what we heard.” The man spoke. “Our daughter. She smells…well, we think she’s an Omega. We don’t know what to do. We’ve only been shifting again for a little while, and what does someone do for an Omega? Only you would know.”
Only I would know. I stared at the dark brown hair on the sleeping infant and let her scent move through me. Well there it was. Ross was gone. We’d won. And there she was. An infant.
An Omega.
I wasn’t alone.
I never would be again. “Come inside. I think we have much to talk about.”

About the Author
As a teenager, I would hide in my room to read my favorite romance novels when I was supposed to be doing my homework.
I am the mother of three adorable boys and I am fortunate to be married to my best friend. I live in Austin Texas where I am determined to eat all the barbecue in town.
I am in love with science fiction, fantasy, and the paranormal and try to use all of these elements in my writing. I've been told I'm a little bloodthirsty so I hope that when you read my work you'll enjoy the action packed ride that always ends in romance. I love to write series because I love to see characters develop over time and it always makes me happy to see my favorite characters make guest appearances in other books.
In my world anything is possible, anything can happen, and you should suspect that it will.
