I shook my head. “That was an Experiment. It's a pity. I had so many things I wanted to ask her.”

“You're certain of this.”

I nodded. “And we saw her in both her skin and fur, which means there could actually be more like me out there.”

Kyle sat down hard as he considered my words.

“It's a lot, I know, but that's gonna have to wait for another day. With your permission, Alpha, I just want to go home.”

Home.

That word had a whole new meaning to me now.

Westin Pack.

San Marco.

Delta team.

The house on the lake.

Dante.

Maya.

Mate, my beast added in my mind.

And Walker, I agreed, pulling him into my arms and kissing him once more.

Epilogue

“Come on in and take a seat. Lindsey, it's good to see you. How are you?”

“I'm good Kyle, thanks,” she said as she sat on the couch, and I squeezed in next to her.

I didn't exactly know why the Alpha had called us over to his house on a random Tuesday afternoon, but here we were. Whatever it was must be important because even Michael didn't gripe about it when I asked for time off.

“I'm sorry to spring this on you. I had hoped to discuss it first,” Kyle said, and I suddenly had a bad feeling. An Alpha rarely apologized for anything. “We only have a few minutes before he arrives.”

“Who?”

“An ally. I don't want to worry you. He's human but knows about our kind. He's been tracking the Experiments, and until you, he assumed there was no humanity left in any of them. Now we know you may not be an anomaly. You said your challenger was an Experiment also. How did you know?”

I reached for Lindsey’s hand to let her know I was here for her.

“If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to,” I told her.

“He's right,” Kyle confirmed. “But if there’s a chance there are others like you out there who need help, your information could be crucial to saving their lives.”

She nodded. “I don't mind talking about it. It doesn't even feel real anymore. But I'd rather wait until your friend arrives so I don't have to tell it twice.”

“Okay. So how are the kids?”

I relaxed and that helped my girl relax too.

“They're doing great. I can't even believe how well they've adjusted here.”
