Ashlee put her hands on her hips. “Some might come for the surgery, some might come for a vacation, some might come to work at the resort, but humans and shifters alike will all come because I’m going to place a spell on the advertisement.”
“How can we be sure they’ll see it?”
“We’re going to run the ad everywhere and for a long time, and eventually everyone who needs to see it will see it.”
Tristan moved to her and put his hands on her shoulders. “This is a lot of building.
Are you sure this is going to work? Have you asked your father?”
“Yes to the first question, no to the second, but don’t worry, he’ll do it. I’m his Alpha’s mate and his oldest daughter.” Ashlee looked down for a second, not wanting to tell him the next part. “In the meantime, Gabriel and Michael can train the pack for the war that’s coming, a war that will be harder for your father to conduct in plain sight of a major functioning resort.”
Ashlee watched Tristan exhale his breath. “You think it’s going to come to that? We won’t get him before that happens?”
“I’m sorry Tristan, I blew our cover when I removed the witch from IPAG. There’s no way it will ever be that easy again.”
“We’ve placed your whole family in jeopardy, and your father is in the game now.” Ashlee nodded but didn’t answer. She couldn’t; it made her too ill to think about.
“All right, little Ashlee, we’ll get this started right away.”
Ashlee shook her head and reached down to caress his groin. “Maybe not right away.”
One year later
Ashlee clutched Braden close to her chest to block the wind from hitting him. He made a small gurgling noise, and she pulled on his pumpkin costume to make sure it fit him snugly. Her eyes caught Tristan in the distance. She still automatically looked for him in a crowd. He stood, his dark sunglasses in place, and discussed the siding that the contractor was about to place on the Institute.
A cool wind blew behind them, and not a second later, Tristan raised his head to look at her. He must have caught her scent. She smiled at him and kissed the head of their baby. With the exception of Braden, who had come as a surprise to them, everything was going just the way she’d planned it.
Tristan nodded to the men he stood with and crossed down the hill toward Ashlee. She grinned and raised her mouth for a kiss, which he gave her.
“Almost done?”
Tristan shrugged. “Another week, I think. Maybe two. How’s our little pup?”
Ashlee laughed. “Sleeping because it’s daytime. He’ll be up all night again.”
“I can stay up with him, if you want.”
“Thanks for offering, but that didn’t go so well last time.” Hearing nothing but commotion, Ashlee had arrived in Braden’s room to find Tristan covered in spit-up holding Braden at arm’s length as their son peed all over the wall.
“I’m a pro now; I’ve got a system.”
Ashlee laughed and pulled him into her free arm. Kendrick might attack any day and they still had to complete the resort to bring back the pack’s mates, but all of that would be worked out soon. Confidence filled her. She had her wolves. Both of them.
Mine.
No…Ours.
About the Author
As a teenager, I would hide in my room to read my favorite romance novels when I was supposed to be doing my homework. I hope, these days, that my parents think it was worth it.
I am the mother of three adorable boys and I am fortunate to be married to my best friend. I live in Austin Texas where I am determined to eat all the barbecue in town.
I am in love with science fiction, fantasy, and the paranormal and try to use all of these elements in my writing. I've been told I'm a little bloodthirsty so I hope that when you read my work you'll enjoy the action packed ride that always ends in romance. I love to write series because I love to see characters develop over time and it always makes me happy to see my favorite characters make guest appearances in other books.
In my world anything is possible, anything can happen, and you should suspect that it will.
