Cricket asked me for the 100th time if we were almost there, fifty miles ago. Poor

kid missed her auntie. I didn’t blame her, I missed her too. It had been a few weeks

since everything had gone down with Carter and Clyde, before Carter and Bair said

it was safe to come. I still couldn’t believe that piece of shit was the sire to my

bestie. Maybe her mother somehow realized what a sadistic bastard he was, and

that’s why she ran away before she was ever born. Adelaide had made sure they

exposed him before Carter took him out, essentially in front of the entire pack. I

had to stop calling her that; it was Briar now.

I had been staying with my sister since then, with Cricket. It was good to see her

and my nieces and nephews, but I was eager to get on with my new chapter in life.

Adelaide had become such a needed and blessed part of our lives. My chosen sister,

the one who had had my back in my darkest moments. The woman who had helped

me raise my spirited daughter and knew me like no one else ever could.

I followed Beck at a distance on the highway, wondering how he could stand riding

the road on his bike in the chilling cold. I suppose it had something to do with his

‘extraness,‘ boy, did I have some things to admit when I saw my dearest friend,

Adelaide, Briar, face to face. Deep down, I knew that she would always be a

sanctuary for us. Home wasn’t home if Briar wasn’t breezing in and out of our lives.

The last several months had been a whirlwind, and I was so glad to get a reprieve

from that chaos and the confusing emotions I had finally come to terms with.

However, a lot of anxiety rolled off me; my best friend’s new friends could give her

something I never could. Were we still going to be as close as we were a few months

ago? I had seen her battered and broken and watched her transform into a different

kind of strong, no bullshit woman than she was before. Not to mention, she was in

love with Carter, and it was unmistakable that he felt the same. Beck said they were

now a lifelong pair, and she was pregnant with twins! I was very happy for them.

My bestie deserved no less.

However, the fear of not knowing where I stood with someone who meant so much

to me was a heavy pit in my stomach. I couldn’t be there for her when she needed

me most, not like she had been for me. At the end of the day, I was a mother. I

know my friend would have wanted me to put Cricket first, but it ate at me every

fucking day as I watched her struggle on the camera footage, not being there as she

grappled with her trauma, and fell impossibly in love with the new alpha of this

pack of wolves, or were they both alpha? I didn’t fucking know anymore! My mind

swam, and the tension rose inside of me.

I glanced at my daughter, finally sleeping in the backseat. We were going to start

over in this wild little town full of wolves in Colorado. Beck agreed it would be for

the best to avoid what had happened to Briar. Beck turned off past a gas station,

and I watched the rustic little town unfold down its main street before we turned

off down a road that left the lights of town in our rearview window.

I had technically lied to Briar, but how was I supposed to know what she was back
