“For what?” Atlas asks. “For orgasms? Little Rose, you never have to thank us for that. We give those out happily.”
“No,” I laugh, burying my face in Jude’s neck. “For being patient with me. For accepting me for who I am. For never judging me. But most of all, for choosing me.”
“It was the easiest choice, Briar. All of us, we’re the perfect fit for one another. Our pack wouldn’t be complete without you.”
“And I don’t think I’d ever be able to be without you three again. I spent years doing this on my own, but I don’t want to anymore.”
“And you don’t have to.” Jude kisses the top of my head. “You have us. Now and forever.”
I can’t believe this is my life. They are mine. I’m getting my happily ever after.
No more monsters from my past lurking, waiting in the shadows.
I can breathe, I can sleep, I can live without worry.
Just me, my pack and Widows Peak.
I want it all with them. This life, this house, babies, everything.
They’re my happily ever after, something I never thought I’d get.
And damn it, I sure as hell plan on enjoying every single moment of it.
Widows Peak might be my home, but these three are my heart and soul. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Chapter
Nineteen
One year later
WILLOW
Growing a baby is hard work!I’ve been so sleepy for the last few months, but it means lots of naps with Briar since she’s also pregnant. I can’t believe I get to have a baby with my omega.
That being said, she’s been kind of grumpy, so we’re on a hunt today. We all need the release and the dopamine high. Syrus put out a notice for us to be careful as there are three male alphas cruising up and down the road outside of town terrorizing motorists.
Several people have been sexually assaulted, and they killed someone yesterday.
“I want to be bait,” Briar pouts. “I bet they’re using the backroads that offshoot from the main highway to hide from the sheriff.”
While the mountains do hide Widows Peak from the rest of the world, there are unfortunately side roads that make it easyfor people to get lost on. They’re impassable during the winter, but now that it’s the summer?
I think Briar is right.
“You can’t get on your motorcycle anymore, Little Rose,” Atlas rumbles. “You’re four months pregnant.”
“What if I pretend to be stranded on the road…” Briar looks up at him with the look that melts his heart every time. He’s such a softy.
“Ooh! We could also hide in the truck in the shrubs that are nearby. If she’s in trouble, you can shoot them with your shotgun,” Jude suggests.
I had no idea Atlas could shoot until we were camping and a mountain lion started sniffing around. He pulled it from his bag, held it straight up in the air, and shot it to scare it away. Thankfully, it worked, but it scared the shit out of us.
“Okay,” he grumbles. “We’ll chase them down in the truck if they take off. This will be a safe hunt.”
“Yes, Alpha,” Briar says, squealing as she skips away to get her things.
“She’s so fucking cute,” I mumble, my eyes catching on her dick sculpture. I love all the little details from its place of pride in our house. I even use the cup I made with Briar. I’m obsessed with our crafts. “I can’t handle it.”
