Born To Be Wild (19 page)
Epilogue
That evening, Caleb couldn’t be happier as, from his bed, he looked at all the Wilds and Falcons gathered in his hospital room. Isabel’s mother had finally made it back into the country and had one arm around her daughter, the other around Lucy. Everyone appeared happy for the moment.
Not that this happiness would last.
Hector, you and me, we got a lot to account for.
Micah and Isabel had never wanted any part of the feud. Lucy and Zia, neither. Cruz could go either way. But in addition to Jonah and Eduard keeping the feud going—in his opinion, they would keep it going forever if they could—he worried about Reyna and Seth. They’d always been at each other’s throats, and he didn’t think that was likely to change.
Not without some outside assistance.
I swear, Hector, I’m going to fix things. I’m going to see this feud of ours ended, if it’s the last thing I ever do.
