sad that we had to leave it behind. But whatever lies ahead is probably an exciting new adventure. I can’t wait to see it for myself.”
They packed up their things in the morning and left, hiking into unknown territory. After a week, they crossed the border from Saskatchewan into Alberta. The little ones kept the pace surprisingly well. Grant Jr. and a few of the others ran ahead, scouting for water sources and signs of animals and running back to tell Cait and Grant what they had seen. Mia walked with the younger kids, encouraging them when they began to falter.
Ten days after they’d crossed the border, Grant called a halt. “Here,” he said. “Do you smell it?”
Cait inhaled. She did smell something there, but she wasn’t sure what it was.
“Another pack,” Grant explained, seeing her confusion. “More shifters. And that means a chance for our family to grow.”
IT WAS CLEAR VERY QUICKLY that the pack they had found wouldn’t be merging with theirs directly. It was headed by a strong alpha, every bit as proud and willful as Grant, with an omega of his own.
But they also had children.
And that meant potential future mates for Cait’s children.
That was all a concern for another day, though. For now, the children could satisfy themselves as friends to one another. Suddenly, instead of a group of eleven playing together, there was a group of twenty-seven.
Cait sat by the fire, nibbling on the meat from a wild turkey that their neighbor had snared and shared with them, watching the children play.
Grant came over and sat down beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “It’s pretty great, isn’t it?” he asked.
“It’s better than I ever dreamed it could be.” She leaned her head against him. “I think back now to the days when I was so sure I didn’t even want kids...honestly, it scares me to think what would have happened to me if I hadn’t met you when I did.”
“You don’t have to think about that,” he said, kissing her temple. “Nothing can take this away from you now.”
“You saved me, you know,” she said. “I don’t mean just from Bart. I might have found a way out of that situation. I was always going to keep trying to run away from him. But you saved me from myself. The way I was going, I would have destroyed my own life. I would have ruined my chances at happiness by pushing everyone away because I was too afraid to submit.”
“You can’t blame yourself for that,” he said. “No one had ever been worthy of you.”
“But you are,” she said.
“All I know,” he said, “is that I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to deserve you, Caitlin Sterling. I’ll never stop trying to live up to everything you’ve given me.”
She turned toward him, tilted her chin up, and closed her eyes as his lips met hers. “I love you,” she whispered.
“I love you too,” he said, and she felt him smile. “I always will.”
