Dani hummed a tune as she went back to work, and Adam smiled. She was the happiest person he’d ever met. She always had a smile for him, always had something sweet to say.
He heard a vehicle pull up outside, and Dani squeaked in happiness as she raced from the kitchen to open the front door.
“I’m so glad you’re here!” Dani exclaimed as she hugged a woman tightly.
“Oh, I missed you, sweet girl,” the woman, who was clearly her mom, said.
“Come and meet my mate, Mom.”
“Welcome back,” Adam said to Kammie.
“What did you do?” Kammie asked, her eyes wide.
“Don’t be mad,” Dani said, “but I told Adam that it would be nice for us to help you out and pack. I know you’re anxious to get back to Oakville. I would have been happy to send you your things, but Adam said you had to personally talk to the alphas about leaving so you would’ve needed to come here anyway.”
Kammie looked up at Row with a big smile. “Did you know about this?”
“No, but I’m glad. I hate packing.”
“Me too,” Kammie said.
“Me three,” their mom said.
Kammie moved to Dani and hugged her. “You’re the best sister I could have ever hoped for.”
“I always wanted a sister,” Dani said.
Kammie stepped away as Dani introduced their mom to Adam. Kammie and Row headed into the kitchen while Dani said, “This is Adam Cruz. Adam, this is my mom, Alice Grayson.”
Her mom smiled at Adam and hugged him. “Welcome to the family.”
Adam felt a little overwhelmed by her immediate acceptance. “Thank you,” he said, emotion rising within him. His own mother had died when he was ten. He remembered a lot of things about her, but he especially remembered her warm hugs. Dani’s mom hugged like his mom.
Dani squeezed his shoulder. Tears pooled in her beautiful blue eyes, and he let go of her mom with one arm and wrapped it around Dani, drawing her into a three-way embrace.
Both women sniffled, and Adam kissed his mate on her forehead and said to Alice, “Thank you for trusting me with your daughter.”
Alice stepped away from him, but kept hold of one of Dani’s hands. “I’m so glad that you found each other. This kind of truemating doesn’t happen very often. Hold tight to each other.”
Dani brushed a tear from her cheek and leaned against Adam as her mother turned to the stack of DVDs and began loading them into the box.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go to Oakville to live?” he whispered in her ear. He wanted her complete happiness. He didn’t think there was anything he wouldn’t do to see her smile.
“Are you ever going to stop asking me? My home is here in Wilde Creek with you.”
“I just want you to be sure.”
“I’m sure.” She looked up at him, her eyes glittering with unshed tears.
“You can visit in the spring,” her mom said. “And hopefully you’ll have some news about a grandbaby for me.”
Dani blushed and smiled. “I like that idea.”
Adam growled softly. “Me too.”
Kammie and Row came out of the kitchen, and Kammie said, “We’re going to stop at the alphas’ house on the way to dinner so I can leave the pack officially.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Alice said. “Let’s get to work.”
