comfort him, and love him.
Sophie wrapped her arms around his neck and
stretched up to kiss him. “I’m okay with that
suggestion.”
He pressed his forehead against hers and
smiled. “Works for me,” he said.
“Me, too.”
“You know I love you, right?” He pushed back
her hair from face, carefully watching her reaction.
“Yeah, I figured,” she said.
He raised a brow.
She grinned. “You know I love you back,
right?”
He kissed her soundly. “I figured.”
Though dusk stretched purple fingers toward
the gold and red streaked sky, night sounds had
already emerged, the typical Oklahoma symphony
of chirping crickets and wind-rustled grass.
Sophie loved when beauty surprised her
senses, wrapping around her, singing to her soul.
She paused, closed her eyes, and breathed in the
moment. Being a herbalist satisfied her desire to
help others, and being a wolf satisfied the
restlessness that so often claimed her.
And now, in this moment, exhausted beyond
measure, embraced by the man she loved, she felt
completely at peace.
EPILOGUE
MECKENZIE LOOKED UP into the thick branches
of a strange tree. Its trunk was purple, and its
leaves a bright yellow. The sky was a wispy silver
and the ground a vivid blue. Had she fallen into a
box of crayons? Where the hell was she?
“You were very brave, honey.”
She turned and saw her mother. She couldn’t
believe her eyes. “Mom?”
Her
mom
wrapped
her
arms
around
Meckenzie’s neck and nearly squeezed the life
outta her. “I never thought I’d hug you again.” Wait.
If Meckenzie was really sitting next to her mother
then—oh, shit. “I’m dead?”
“Your corporeal form, yes.”
“But you’re free from the shadows and can, um
… move on?”
“Ena’s dead, and with her any curse she cast.
So, yes. I’m free.”
Meckenzie figured this was the part where
Mom said she was going off to heaven and
Meckenzie to a much warmer place, but she merely
drew her daughter in for another spin-cracking hug.
“You will have such a good life,” she whispered.
“You will have love, and family, and oh so many
wonderful adventures.”
Ren.
Oh, how her heart broke. “Dead here,
remember?”
She laughed, then pulled back and cupped
Meckenzie’s face. “I will watch over you and
yours. Always.”
Meckenzie didn’t remember her mother being
so dense. She tried again. “You told me that
life
was for the
living
.”
“Indeed.” She tweaked Meckenzie’s nose. “So
live well.”
YOUR LYCAN OR MINE?
Book 14 in The Broken Heart Paranormal Romance
Series
When Meckenzie Braith bolted from Broken Heart,
and the muscled arms of gorgeous
loup de sang
Ren Marchand, she promised herself that she’d
give up thievery and create a life on the right side
of the law.
It was a promise she kept for 8.2 seconds.
To be fair, she was using her skills for righting
wrongs. She no longer accepted money for her
efforts, and considered stealing for good causes as
penance for previous bad life decisions.
Okay, okay.
She befriended paranormal
orphans who helped her with heists, but she was
trying to reform them.
Really.
Then Meckenzie and her gang steal from the
wrong paranormal (for the right reason, of course)
and end up running for their lives.
The only place she knows where she can
protect herself and her charges is the paranormal
community of Broken Heart, Oklahoma. The
problem? She deceived the entire town, including
the vampire queen.
But to save the kids who depend on her,
Meckenzie will face head-on the people she
betrayed—and the blood wolf she left behind.
