“I want to see Savvy. I need to talk to her.”

“Don’t you think that you hurt her enough? Just leave her alone.”

“Wait. You aren’t pregnant anymore. Congratulations,” Rory said.

“Thank you. Go back to Eva and leave Savvy alone. She’ll talk to you when she’s ready.”

“What she heard was a huge misunderstanding. I told Eva that Savvy was my fated mate and that I intend to ask her to go through the mating ceremony with me.”

Rory pulled out the ring box and showed Beth.

“I’ll take you to her, but you had better hear me well. If you hurt her, I swear I will stop your heart. You will be dead before you even know what hit you.”

Rory could tell by the look on her face that the witch meant every word that she said.

“Follow me,” Beth said, relenting at last.

Savvy was sitting in the living room, holding a baby in her arms, singing softly to him. Beth walked over and took the baby from Savvy and said, “You have a visitor.”

Her face paled and she nodded.

Rory sat in the chair across from her. His heart thundered in his chest, and he was shocked that the palms of his hands were slightly sweaty. He couldn’t remember a time in his life when he was this nervous.

“I know you heard me say that I always loved Eva. And for the longest time, I did. Then, at one point, I realized that I didn’t anymore and she meant nothing to me. That’s the part you didn’t hear me say. The other thing that you didn’t hear me tell her was that I was in love with you and whatever I thought I felt for her was nothing like what I feel for you. I told her that you are my fated mate and that I intend to ask you to go through the mating ceremony with me. You would be my mate and the mother to Cat and Drake.”

Savvy stared at him as though she wasn’t sure that she understood what she was hearing.

“Eva is the biological mother of our kids. I honestly don’t know if she really is going to stick around for very long. The kids don’t seem to want to have much to do with her. What I do know is that they love you. When I asked them what they thought about you and me going through the mating ceremony and you being their stepmother, they said that they loved you as their mother. I know that you love them, too,” Rory said.

He got down on one knee and opened the ring box. “Savvy, would you do me the honor of going through the mating ceremony with me?”

“It’s about damned time that you stepped up to the plate and did the right thing by her. I thought I was going to have to get a shotgun and force you to marry her. It’s only right, you know,” Cassia said. “Besides, her depression and hurt was going to kill me.”

“You aren’t big enough to hold a shotgun.” Rory laughed.

“I’ve got friends that are,” Cassia said.

“Hush up, Cassia.” Savvy laughed. “Of course, I will go through the mating ceremony with you. I’m in love with you, too.”

“Tell him the other news,” Cassia said. “Tell him. Tell him.”

“I need a flyswatter,” Savvy muttered.

“You can’t kill me. You need me too much,” Cassia said.

“What’s your news?” Rory asked.

“According to Taryn, I’m going to have a baby,” Savvy said.

“The ten-year-old thinks that you’re pregnant?” Rory asked in disbelief.

“The very powerful witch who is never wrong about such things believes that I’m going to have a baby. She even told me that the baby is a girl and will be both a wolf shifter and a powerful witch,” Savvy said.

“That is amazing. When were you going to tell me?”

“I just found out last night,” Savvy said.

“Woohoo,” Rory said. He picked Savvy up and whirled her around in a circle.
