And even if you could there are always life changing decisions which take a spin on your future. Leave them be. We’re right here if they need us and we raised her right.”
“He’s a good kid.” A deep sigh rips from her throat. “And so are Joaquin and Alfie, those two dads also made sure, along with their wife, to raise that boy right.”
“Uh huh. Not to mention, they are letting their boy go to start his life in another state, to chase the woman he loves.”
Her eyes narrow. “They know we will watch over him.”
“So, we’re all good now with Luke coming to work at our ranch and eventually mating with Mabel?” I question.
She leans her forehead against my chest. “Yeah. She told me she wants to take it slow and I do hope she goes slower than we did, but I guess it’s her life.”
“It’s her life, it’s our life, and it’s all going to work out fine.”
“Yes. And worst case scenario…my dad will have some fun in chasing down another werewolf gone rogue…our son-in-law,” she grumbles.
My head tips back and laughter rips from my chest. Opal giggles and smacks my chest. “It’s not supposed to be funny.”
“Oh, come on. It really is,” I chuckle and add. “Besides, I’ve learned your father and uncles use it more as an excuse to team up and have a few beers together while their wives think they’re out hunting.”
“Yeah, they really don’t think that…they know they use it as an excuse and have a fun girls’ night in return.” Opal snickers.
I place a kiss on the top of her head. “Everyone has their own reasons to do shit. But you got to give a little to get a little. Knowing love will hold strong and family is always out there to have your back no matter what, it allows you to take a leap and see what happens.”
“A leap of faith, really?” Her arms surround my waist as she pulls me close.
“Really,” I simply say. “Come on, let’s make our final rounds.”
It’s unnecessary, but we love to take a stroll late in the evening. Enjoying the night and the sounds of nature as we walk around the ranch. Watching the Longhorns graze in the pasture, the new Quarter horses in another pasture while we enjoy each other’s company.
Lacing our fingers, we head out into the night and leave all our worries behind for tomorrow. There’s always another day to glance at things with a fresh look. And besides, taking a leap of faith is something you can do at any age or time. It’s not something to regret but to embrace, even if it leads to a great screw-up.
Opal’s family is the result of many bad choices of people making bad decisions. And yet ultimately it led to love and saving others in return and eventually…to my woman’s existence. Heavy burdens sometimes seem less heavy when you look at them from a different angle or accept help to carry the weight together.
I gently squeeze Opal’s hand and I get a stunning smile in return. I feel utterly blessed in this moment. Even after a few decades our love has grown stronger and I’m sure it will never fail to grow. It’s a good thing we’re immortal so we can enjoy many decades to come.
My steps falter and I cup the side of her face to keep it in place and brush my lips against hers as I murmur, “I love you.”
“Fancy words will get you laid,” she whispers.
A chuckle tumbles from my lips.
She steps away from me and slowly walks backwards as she strips the clothes from her body. The words “I love you,” flow through the air at the same time she shifts into her magical guardian wolf shape.
I don’t mind my clothes as they evaporate into thin air when I shift and pick up my speed to follow my woman. Running wild and free, filled with love on the grounds where we settled down and where now our children will place their roots and will eventually take over. Starting with love and grow from here on out.
