Epilogue

Dawn was breaking by the time the Three Rocks’ Alpha and his mate crawled into bed, after the emergency meeting to discuss the night’s developments.

Landon curled around his wife, breathing in her scent. “As glad as I am that your brother has landed his dream girl, it would have been nice if he could have managed it without the public display,” he muttered against her skin.

Ava shifted restlessly in his arms. “You don’t seem worried.”

“No sense borrowing trouble. The humans will come or they won’t. Only time will tell.” Landon soothed his mate, stroking her hair. “We’ll deal with the next crisis as it comes.”

For several moments, only soft rustling sounds disturbed the quiet of the Alpha’s bungalow. Then, “Do you think they’ll be happy, Landon? Michael is so much younger than she is.”

A soft growl rumbled in the Alpha’s throat. “Is your brother older than you?”

“A year.”

“Are you unhappy with your old mate?”

“You aren’t old. And you know I couldn’t be happier.”

“Is your brother fickle?”

“Michael? God, no.”

“Then stop worrying about him. If you want to worry about someone, try my sister.”

“Zoe?” A soft laugh. “She can take care of herself.”

“That’s what I’m worried about,” the Alpha grumbled.

Silence fell again, broken only by Ava’s soft sigh, as both the Alpha of the Three Rocks pride and his mate took a moment to forget their worries. Until the next crisis arose.
