And it put steel in her back, where only hours before she had felt so tempted, weak, and out of control. "Well, that's it," Wally said when they'd tied the Golden Eagle down as best they could in the truck bed. "Time to go home." "Home," Abegail whispered, and she lifted her weary eyes to the now-black silhouettes of the Medicine Bow Mountains against the night sky.

I need to settle all this.” Jesse nodded. “If you change your mind, I’ll be at The Cowboy Saloon by eleven-thirty to ring in the New Year. For some reason, the girls kiss every man they can get to at midnight in there. I don’t want to miss that.” Ray chuckled. “I’m sure you don’t.” “If I don’t see you there . . . Happy New Year.” “Yeah, Happy New Year.” ****

His phone suddenly rang on the desk. That was my phone. Since my family couldn’t be contacted, Mike had been holding onto it. I leaned in and saw that the message was from William. “Jennifer and I are getting married at the end of the month. You like money, don’t you? As long as you come, I’ll give you a million.”

“I will never forget that day, I was riding the Coal Smoker when it passed by a smoking village. The Wagon stopped and we were ordered to help put out the fires. But what greeted us instead was musket fire from the assailants. My cousin died that day when he went insane and charged the bandits. I was not able to kill anyone yet but by the time I stepped off the Coal Smoker, the attacking bandits were dead, there were 30 of them. That was the first time I’ve seen that much dead bodies. Our Centurion ordered us to split up in squads and search for more bandits. Eventually we cornered the last of them and their leader at the village hall, my companions had finished off his guards but then their

I noticed the name on her screen, and I smiled. "Get to work. We're not in a hurry to arrange the wedding." Lauren left the office, but as a token of apology, she turned around. Solemnly, she promised, "I'll see you at the old home tomorrow." She did not. I was on the couch at the old home, scrolling through my phone. … T-minus, 12 hours. My news app showed me some local news. Felix showed himself at a new project, and Lauren was standing right behind him.

“Time to finish this.” He nodded, eyes wild and alive. “Together.” They turned, guns raised, as the last wolf lunged—one final enemy between them and the exit. Eirwen didn’t flinch.
