“When you were in theshower.”

Someone I found my voice. “Guess a lot can happen in theshower.’

Stephan grinned. “You’d better believe it. I’ll show you later, if you’re not tootired.”

Then his grin dropped and he got that serious look again. “We’re a team, Sienna. We love you, and want you to stay with us, if youwish.”

I glanced up at Grayson, who nodded and winked at me. Then he slid his hand over mine, and gave it a reassuringsqueeze.

“We love you, Sienna. Where you go, we will go. It’s decided,” he said softly, his gaze tender. “I’m not tied to Colorado. I can run Calmarth from the road, hell, I only have to report for board meetings every quarter. Between conference calls and email, I can handle everything and we can settle anyplace else you wish. Maybe buy a ranch inCalifornia…”

“Or a winery in Oregon,” Nicolas chimedin.

“Build a new house, complete with a huge home theater,” added Stephan, the moviebuff.

No one had ever done as much for me before – had been willing to sacrifice everything for me. My entire life seemed to resolve around pleasing others. For once, I had someone who loved me and wanted to make mehappy.

No, I had three special someones. Joy exploded in my heart. I hoped the people would want me here to live with them, but no matter what, I would never be lonelyagain.

Because my boys were willing to stay with me, no matter what else happened. They were willing to give up everything they had worked for, fought for, dreamed about, all forme.

Grayson looked at the clock hanging on the wall above the doorway. “Time’s up. What have youdecided?”

Carlos, Carmen’s father, stood. “Grayson, our alpha, the people have appointed me as their spokesperson. Our decision is unanimous. We don’t want Sienna to stay in thepack.”

My heart dropped to my chest. But Grayson leaned forward, listeningintently.

Carmen’s father swept a hand through the air. “We don’t want her here as a mere member of the pack. We wish her to remain here, only if she can also be our alpha female. She’s Fae, but with the heart of awolf.”

Nods around the room. Tears clogged my throat. Grayson sported a hugesmile.

So did Nicolas andStephan.

“It is agreed then, if Sienna agrees, that Sienna will be our alpha female, ruling equally with me. I need a show of hands,” Graysonboomed.

Everyone raised their hand. Even Carmen and the youngerones.

“Thank you,” I said, tears finally streaming down my face. “Thank you. I know I will be happyhere.”

“As long as you keep the garden growing,” someone yelled out and everyonelaughed.

And then the pack lined up to hug and congratulate me and my boys. Someone put dance music on their iPod to play over the public address system. Several took to the floor and began gyrating to the pounding beat. A few shifted and raced away through the open doors, probably to hunt in the woods. Some of the werewolves were drunk, and happy, having a goodtime.

As for me, I no longer wished to keep to myself and hide from everyone. I took Grayson’s hand as he led me onto the dance floor. And then Nicolas and Stephan joined us, and we dancedtogether.

Stephan threw back his head and howled. Everyonelaughed.

I threw my head back and I howled aswell.

All my dearest wishes had come true. I had a new home, where people loved and appreciated me. Outcast no longer. I had a new family, and I had my boys as my mates to love, cherish and protect, who loved, cherished and protectedme.
