I’ll see my daddy soon?” she asked, her voice full of hope so pure it hurt. Alex nodded once. “You will, Hope.” I bit the inside of my cheek hard, fighting back the ache in my chest.

He exclaimed. “Everything connects her and dad to the hunters” I told him. “How could they have been hunters all these years and we never knew?” Tyler questioned, “none of this makes sense.” “I know, but why else would they be down there.

On Sonny's feed, there were two intertwined hands, fireworks lighting up the riverside behind them. On the woman's wrist was a small red mole—one I knew all too well.

It says they have known me since birth. They say I have a choice. Join them and lead the true bloodline or watch everything we built fall apart. What do we do now. John pulled her into a hug. We face it together he said. Like we always have. You made the right choice last night by coming to us. We will keep making the right choices. As a family.

There was so much darkness and anger in the land, that it took the power of one who also needed to heal to bring it back. When Hope arrived in Araphyra, she was lost, lonely and scared. Once she finally accepted who she is and accepted her mate, they moved to Eventide, renaming it Forest Glen. Neither of them cared about the land's history. They rebuilt it, creating a packhouse instead of a castle and soon, the werewolves who realized that they would have extended lifespans began retiring here, joining them and creating their own pack.
