“I’m yours,” I told him.

“Forever.”

Epilogue - Killian

Four Months Later

“Do you have to leave your shoes right in front of the door every time, Sienna?” I asked.

“Have to? No. Will I keep doing it? Yes,” Sienna said.

She and Leah were sitting on the couch after our trip back from Sparkle Hollow, where we had met with Alpha Lex and Luna Grace about expanding diplomacy between our towns.

They both laughed at my sour expression as I moved Sienna’s shoes to the hallway closet.

“You’re lucky that my mate likes you, or I’d toss these outside,” I pointed out.

“You’relucky she likes you,” Sienna quipped, “or I’d turn you into a frog instead of a wolf.”

“I’m pretty sure you don’t know how to turn him into a frog,” Leah argued.

“Just because Ihaven’tturned anyone into a frog doesn’t mean Ican’tturn someone into a frog.”

Over the past few months, Leah and I had been making regular trips between Sparkle Hollow and Pinedale. To Leah’s delight, her best friend often came to visit us here as well. As much as Sienna’s personality differed from my own, it made me happy to see my mate reunited with her friend.

Leah was on civil terms with her parents now, but there was no fixing what they had broken between them. Just like I had found a brother in Jasper, Leah had found a sister in Sienna.The loyalty between the two of them rivaled anything I had ever seen, and Sienna had become a sister to me as well.

“If you two are done fighting, can we decide what we want for dinner?” Leah asked.

“You already know I don’t get a vote,” I told her with a laugh. “Just let me know what you decide. I’m going to grab the bags out of the car.”

As I walked outside, I did a quick visual sweep of the area. There had been no reports of Franco or his pack so far, but the thought of him returning was never far from my mind. He would hold a grudge against me until his dying day. I just had to be prepared for whenever he decided to settle it.

“Did you decide yet?” I asked the women as I came back inside.

“Pizza,” they said at the same time.

“Your wish is my command,” I said with a formal bow.

“I could get used to this,” Sienna joked.

“Don’t,” I said.

“Touchy,” she replied. “Come on, Killian, why you gotta be such a spoilsport? You know that teasing you is my only entertainment while I’m here.”

“Help me out here, Leah?”

“Sorry, my love. Sienna says whatever is on her mind. There’s nothing I can do about that,” Leah said apologetically.

“It’s true,” Sienna agreed. “She’s been trying her whole life. Now, you two relax while I go get dinner. I need to see if that hot guy is working at the pizza parlor today.”

She wagged her eyebrows at Leah, who laughed in response. As annoying as I found my surrogate sister-in-law,I was secretly grateful for her presence in our lives. Leah was happy with me, but her exuberance when she was with her friend was something I could never give her. All I wanted was for her to be happy. If Sienna was a part of that, I would just have to deal with it.

It helped that Sienna always seemed to know when to make herself scarce. As she left to get pizza, I took her vacated spot on the couch next to Leah, who snuggled up next to me instantly.

Ever since the attack from Franco’s pack, she had been extra careful to make sure I knew just how much she loved and cared for me. Almost losing me had been traumatic for her, but she was handling it admirably.

“I love you, Leah,” I reminded her.
