Liam pulled her against him and cradled her there in his strong arms, searching her eyes. “Ourpeople,” he whispered.

And with those two words, Liam gave her the home she’d never known she was missing. He was giving her people. He was giving a sense of belonging.

She couldn’t wait for them to get here and see this place, and see the potential.

She didn’t know exactly how it would all go, and she imagined it would be rocky, and pull at all of the emotions as they learned to co-exist here, but she believed in Liam’s Pack.

And even more than that, she had faith in Liam.

He was a man who was decisive, and firm, and strong, who took no grit from anyone, but who was caring in the ways he needed to be.

He was the caretaker of her heart, and now she would get to watch him build this, in his words, from the ground up.

So much was up in the air right now, but she was certain of one thing—Liam.

They were going to grow this life together.

He leaned forward and kissed her lips, and she melted against him.

Her days had been bland and predictable before, but now?

She couldn’t wait for the adventure ahead of them.
