  She laughed and then stopped. He wasn’t kidding. “What baby?”

  “The one in your stomach. Didn’t know yet? We’re going to have a pup.”

  No, she hadn’t known. Tears flooded her eyes. Oh, this was wonderful news. And also terrifying. “Auggie, sometimes I still want to use the drugs. I won’t. I swear I won’t. I just wanted you to know. I’ll take care of this baby…that I didn’t know I was having, but of course you do because of that nose of yours.”

  He wrapped her up against him. “We’re both going to spend our lives facing our demons. The memories of stuff. The need for what ails us. But we’ll do that together. I’m afraid you got the most screwed up of the Owens brothers.”

  She snorted. “You got the most screwed up of the Knox sisters.”

  “That’s not true. We all know Elizabeth is the most screwed up.”

  Clarissa laughed because it was true. She laughed because she was joyful. Because they were alive. Because she had this life now with this male who loved her despite everything she had done. Because her body felt better and her wolf back to normal. Because somehow they should all be dead, and they weren’t.

  He kissed her cheek before he bent over to bite down on her neck. She shuddered. August found that spot, over and over again. As many times as he wanted to claim her, she’d love to be claimed.

  There was happiness to be found in a world recovering from destruction. There were moments of surety even when everything seemed to have gone to chaos. They might not yet know everything that would happen in the future, and that was okay. They had one.

  “August Owens, we didn’t have the beginning we should have had. You didn’t notice me across the street and suddenly realize you were my mate.”

  He shrugged. “I would have had to wait years to have you. You know I always scent things early. You’d have been too young. I’d have been taking long swims in Duncans Pond.”

  “You and that pond. What is your fixation with that pond?”

  He groaned. “It’s not a fixation. I think other than now, I’ve brought it up once.”

  “Yes, but why bring it up at all? There were better things at home.”

  She laughed because she had August to argue with. Forever. Eternally. Always. Evermore. Endlessly.

  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.
