“I know, but you can now. I want you to live here. I want you to move in with me, be my mate. I want to be with you forever.”
I blinked at Jameson. “Are you…”
“Proposing,” he said. “Yeah.” He went down on one knee, right there in his room, as if this was the most normal conversation to have after nearly dying. “Marry me. I don’t just want you to be my mate, because technically, the bond already took care of that. I want you to be my wife, in every law—shifter and human. I want you to rule the pack by my side and own the club with me and do life with me.”
“Jameson… you don’t know anything about me.”
“I know that you would give your life for me—you almost did—and I would do the same for you. I know that we’re fated, so the rest is inevitable. I know that I want you for the rest of my life, so whatever I don’t know, I have plenty of time to find out. I’m sorry for everything I said and did. But if you can forgive me…”
He looked at me with those piercing blue eyes of his, and in them, I couldn’t see anything other than a life filled with passion and love, a life that I’d always dreamed of and never thought I would have.
“Okay,” I said.
“Yeah?” Jameson asked with a chuckle.
I nodded. “Yeah, I forgive you. And I’ll be your wife.”
He grabbed me and kissed me. I winced, still a little sore from my near-death experience, but none of that mattered. All that mattered was that I’d finally found my happily ever after.
And it came in a deliciously wrapped package, too.
EPILOGUE
OAKLEE
Two Months Later
The weather had started to turn. Summer was fading and fall fast approaching, bringing with it hot cocoa drinks and Halloween and pumpkin spice.
The air smelled different when the seasons changed, and I loved it.
Winter here in California would be very different from the winters I’d had in Montana, but I remembered what it used to be like when I was a kid.
There were days I was deliriously happy here, forgetting all about the past, living every day as it came. Then there were days when I wished I could go back in time and change things so that my mom would be here, too.
Like today.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Nadia said, her fingers working on an intricate braid. “We dreamed about this day since we were kids.”
“I would never have dreamed it to be like this, though,” I said. “I can plan dresses and flowers, but to plan a Prince Charming like that…”
Nadia giggled and looked at me in the mirror. “Not every girl gets to marry an alpha. It’s like being a princess… but better.”
We laughed together, and I blushed.
Since we’d gotten engaged, a lot had changed.
I’d moved out of the loft apartment and into Jameson’s place. He hadn’t wanted to wait a moment longer.
It had been sad leaving the loft apartment behind—it had been the first place I’d ever owned, and it had been the first place where I’d felt truly safe. Even though, looking back at how the spells had failed and how my dad had still found me, I hadn’t actually been that safe at all.
Instead of selling the place, Jameson and I had agreed to hold onto it.
You never know what the future may hold.
Those were words we’d started living by.
The mansion was an incredible place to live in, and Jameson had told me I could decorate it however I wanted. It was nice of him, but I was still new here. It had only been two months since I’d moved in—I would make it my home in time and change things as I wanted them to be different, but right now, I relished in the fact that we shared a place together. What was his was mine and vice versa.
