“Maybe not, but my father had no right to terrorize you. For what it’s worth, I put him in his place. He would have never been rude or mean to you again,” Luke said.
Jamie nodded and said, “Thank you.”
“I’m sorry for how I reacted when you told me that you loved me. I know that I hurt you,” Luke said.
“I was afraid that it was too soon, but I just wanted you to know.”
“There is an old saying that you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. I went to your house later that night, but you were gone. I drove by the next morning, and you were gone. I just about had a heart attack when you weren’t at the café and Clara told me that you had left town,” Luke said. “It was at that moment that I realized that I loved you.”
Jamie raised her eyebrows and she stared at Luke wide-eyed.
“I finally convinced Clara to tell me that you had to come to the shifter world and why.”
“Is that why you are here?”
“No. Didn’t April and Noah tell you what happened?”
“No.”
“I thought about coming anyway to find you, because I need you in my life. I was forced to come because there were trail cams in the area when I shifted after I took care of those hunters who were threatening you.”
“Oh,” Jamie said, a little disappointed.
“I would have come anyway, because life without you would have been unbearable. The morning before I left, before the trail cam footage had been discovered, I bought you this,” Luke said, pulling the ring out of his pocket.
“Jamie, I love you. I’m in love with you, and I would be honored if you would be my wife.”
She looked at the ring and then looked back at him.
With a huge smile, she said, “Of course, I will marry you.”
Luke scooped her up in a big hug and held her tight.
“You have no idea how happy you have made me,” he said.
“I have something I need to talk to you about,” Jamie said.
A worried look crossed Luke’s face.
“Remember how I said that I had always wanted a big family?” she asked.
Luke nodded.
“I think that now is as good a time to start as any,” Jamie said.
Luke stared at her, confused.
“I’m pregnant.”
He sat in stunned silence. He blinked a couple of times and did a double take. His heart started racing.
“I’m going to be a father?” he asked in a halting voice.
Jamie nodded.
“Woo hoo,” he said. “I’m going to be a father.”
He pulled Jamie close to him. He cupped her face, the gentle touch ignited a fire inside of her. Their lips met in a passionate kiss that expressed their love for one another.
