Page 77 of Good Luck Charm for the Wolf

“Thanks,” I murmur, feeling way more emotional than I planned to before noon.

I clear my throat and point back to the paperwork.

“Make sure you call your lawyer and accountant, though. Everything’s above board. Also, included in there? My plans to build on top of this place. I’ll make it nice, I swear. Won’t interfere with your space.”

Mrs. Giancarlo waves her hand like I’m being ridiculous.

“Nonsense. You don’t need my approval, Doug. You own it now.”

That makes me pause.

You own it now.

The words reverberate through me in a way I didn’t expect.

Because yeah. I do.

For the first time in my life, I have something real.

Something mine.

Not borrowed.

Not temporary.

Mine.

My Wolf preens in my mind, pacing proudly as he surveys the mental territory.

Ours.

Secure.

Permanent.

And all I can think is none of this would have happened without her.

Dina made me want this.

She made me believe I could have something good.

That I could be better.

And now?

There’s just one more thing to fix before I can truly claim what matters most.

Her.

I roll my shoulders, shaking out the nerves, and head out the door, feeling more focused than I have in years.

Because Friday? Just two days from now. I’m laying it all down. For her.

I’m not half-assing anything.

I’m going all in.

Mate.
