After a moment, she pulled back and said, “You should let Ryan know so he can tell the pack.”
“I’ll do it now.”
Even at a distance of several thousand miles, he tapped on Ryan’s telepathy.
Ryan asked, Are you at the cottage still?
Grant looked around and chuckled. Not exactly. He then told him what had happened and that Kryder was dead.
The telepathic shout of jubilation Ryan let loose almost tore up Grant’s brain. Yet he smiled.
When are you coming back? Ryan asked.
We’ll head home in a few minutes. And Ryan, Natalie and I are bonded.
Once again, Ryan mentally shouted his joy.
Grant rubbed his forehead, Hey, Bro, you’ve got to stop doing that.
If you were here, I’d hug you till I broke all your ribs.
Grant chuckled. I want a big celebration after the day’s sleep. Pull out all the stops. Whatever you need to purchase from Phoenix, I will personally pay for everything. We’re coming home.
But as Grant ended the connection, a streak of doubt shot through him.
Natalie squeezed his waist. “I felt that. What’s troubling you?”
He took charge of the dreamglide and swung it south. He set a slower speed than before. “I want my pack to love you and accept you, but I don’t know how that’s going to work.”
“I’ve wondered the same thing. Did you tell Ryan we were bonded?”
“I did.”
“What was his reaction?”
“He about shredded my mind up with his telepathic shouting.”
“So, he likes the idea.”
“Yes, but he’s my go-to guy, my best support.”
“Does the pack respect him?”
“Absolutely.”
“Then I say we’re gold.”
He chuckled, grateful all over again that Natalie had come into his life.

Natalie might have spoken with confidence, but she was far from feeling it. Wolves had set ways of doing things and pack order was a huge part of life in Savage. So much so that even Kryder’s depredations wouldn’t allow the pack to get rid of him or to disobey him without consequence. So, would they really accept her as Grant’s mate?
She supposed ultimately it didn’t matter whether they did or not. She was bonded to Grant and nothing, except death, could undo that bond.
She kept her head pinned to his shoulder as the dreamglide sped quickly over the terrain of the Pacific coast. It was daylight now and she smiled with happiness and wonder that they could travel in all this light but not be affected by it.
Gratitude flooded her, of being with Grant, of the sudden, powerful changes in her life, of all that had come to her over the past several days. She was overwhelmed.
