After I returned to Pathseekers Pack, my life finally became peaceful again.
Whenever work slowed down, I spent time with Cain.
We got along so easily that, before either of us realized it, we had become much closer.
He knew everything about my past, but he never pressed me to talk about it.
He said he'd wait until I was ready to leave the past behind and trust a man again.
After all this time, I was finally ready.
Life with Cain felt easy in a way I had never known before. He knew how to respect boundaries and how to exercise restraint, and he never used desire as an excuse to control my body or emotions the way Declan had.
Sometimes we patrolled the pack boundary together. Sometimes we sat in a cafe. Other times we watched the sunset from a mountaintop as the grasslands below glow
