Page 59 of Resisting Fate

“She probably told him, but that’s okay. He’s our alpha, and there are no secrets from him,” he says with a laugh.

No one outside the pack knows that Ryker can read minds, or that Penelope can change people into shifters, or that I have healing powers. We feel that we would have enemies knocking at our door to challenge us or try to take us for their own reasons if word got out. Sure, people have assumed based on white wolf rumours, and the fact that I am part witch, but no one has confirmed anything. Everyone here is loyal to Ryker and the Blue Walker pack.

“We can head over and tell them if you would like,” I tell my mate.

“Let’s do it. I want everyone to know how lucky I am,” he says, pulling me to the passenger side of his truck.

I laugh but let him do what he wants. It’s not a long walk, but I know he’s excited.

I message Penny, and she tells me she has everyone over already since she knew Isaac would want everyone to know.

I laugh and shake my head. Yeah, he’s not known for his patience.

Isaac takes my hand in his as he drives. I can feel his happiness through the bond.

We weren’t trying, but we also weren’t preventing anything from happening. We knew when it was time to have a baby that the fates would bless us with one.

After all, everything happens for a reason.

I questioned fate before, and I knew never to do that again.

As Ryker and Penelope say, “Fate never gets it wrong.”

Isaac

The smile never leaves my face as we walk into the alpha’s house.

Everyone is there: Hailey’s parents, Max and his mate, Jet and his mate, Calvin and his mate, Ryker’s family, and Penelope’s family. All the people who have become important to me had now become my own family.

They had showed me that family is more than blood. We can make our own family.

They make me feel loved and give me a safe place to be myself.

I never thought I would have this.

People who love you unconditionally.

That’s something I hope to give my pup in the future. The family I always wanted. The upbringing I never had.

Ryker, Max, Jet, Calvin, and I have become the head of the pack. We all follow Ryker, but Ryker officially named us his line of shifters. It makes it easier with the pack growing so that any pack member could feel like her or she could come to any one of us. There are five of us, so if one of us is busy then they can go to someone else.

I felt completely honoured that Ryker wanted me as one of the heads. That’s something I will never ever take for granted.

I have never been happier in my life. I don’t spend my time thinking about my parents anymore. At times, I would feel guilty for being happy because my entire family is dead.

Then I remind myself that I wouldn’t have this life if they were alive.

The nightmares still come, but they are very few. Hailey is always right there with me, helping me cope with every single one.

That woman has become my rock. She might not realise that she is my everything, but I would do anything for her.

Any time that I spend without her seems too long. When I finally arrived home, I couldn’t wait another second to have her in my arms.

When I smelled that she was pregnant with my pup, I don’t think I had ever been so happy.

This is something I had wanted for a long time, but I would never have pressured her. When she said we should just leave it to fate and see if she blesses us with a pup, I hoped every single night that it would happen.

“We’re pregnant!” I shout as soon as we enter the room.
