“The Southern Pack has agreed to accept you into its folds. That means you’re free. You’re no longer at the mercy of any shifter, be it Tristan or someone else.”
“What?” he asked, steering his eyes to mine again. A sudden light shone in his irises, one that I hadn’t seen in him in ages.
“You were always a good friend to me,” I told him. “You were there when I needed you. I know you loved me. I’ve told Trick as much, and he’s agreed that as long as you behave yourself, you have a place in his pack.”
I shot a look over at Tristan and Krane, who were standing side by side, both dressed in jeans and t-shirts, looking ridiculously handsome. They’d always looked like brothers, but what struck me now was that for the first time ever, they looked like friends.
“Come on,” Trick said, taking Marcus by the arm. “You’re going to need an apartment and a job, and…fuck, we need to find you a mate as soon as possible. It’s time to fix you, Brother.” He threw a massive arm around Marcus’ shoulder and escorted him outside to his truck.
After I’d closed the door, Krane said, “Are you really sure about this, Ariana?”
I nodded. “I’m sure. He’s flawed, but so am I. I’ve never been so aware of how flawed until yesterday.”
I turned to face the brothers. “As for you two, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see you like this—getting along, at least for now.”
Tristan walked over and planted a kiss on my forehead. “For now being the operative words,” he said. “Speaking of which, Krane has some news for you.”
“Oh?” I asked, pulling my eyes to the man at the other end of the foyer. “What’s up?”
“I’m moving to New York,” he said.
“Seriously?” I asked. I wasn’t sure if I should be happy or horrified.
Happy. Definitely happy.
“Seriously,” he nodded. “I figure now that my brother doesn’t want to kill me, I might actually enjoy the Big Apple.”
I hugged Tristan, burying my face in his neck as I loved to do. “Well then, everything’s finally perfect,” I said. “Which probably means everything’s about to go horribly wrong.”
Tristan shook his head. “No way, lover,” he said. “It’s about to go horribly right. That is, if my asshole of a brother would make himself scarce.”
I pulled away to look up into my husband’s eyes. “Why?” I asked.
“Because we’re now officially on our damned honeymoon…and I don’t particularly want an audience.”
The End
For now.
Coming Soon….
Krane’s first book is coming in January, but you can pre-order it now! Get it here.
Like Tristan’s story, his will take place over the course of three full-length novels. Just a hint at what’s to come:
Krane, brother of Tristan Wolfe, has decided to make some changes in his life. Maybe it's time to clean up his act a little, to become a respectable member of society rather than the terrifying, seductive womanizer he's always been.
After his move to New York City, he finds himself in charge of a Lesser, a shifter in need of a master. Krane's first instinct is to reject her. The last thing he needs is to find himself spending time with a beautiful young thing whose greatest wish is to find her mate and freedom.
But he soon finds that his own greatest wish...is to have her for himself.
