Epilogue

EPILOGUE

Eighteen months later

S he sat at the dinner table at her father’s house, not able to stop from smiling as she listened to her dad and Damien argue about some small detail of a war story two decades ago.

They fought like brothers, like one of them was the one that was right, and they would not relent until the other realized that.

A year and a half had passed since Damien had told her she was his mate and that he had imprinted on her.

In that time she had gotten a promotion at her job, moved in with Damien, and was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with her lion shifter. Her father wasn’t pleased at first that she had moved in with the much older Damien, but he also saw how happy she was.

He loved her no matter what, and like a good parent he just wanted her to experience a life that she was happy with. Although she had brought up marriage with Damien, asking him what he thought about it, she had been surprised to find out he wasn’t opposed to the idea, and in fact started going into detail about what he wanted in their lives.

Although she wasn’t ready to be married just yet, because she wanted to further her education and career, she was happy that Damien wanted the same things as she did.

She brought her cup to her mouth and smiled over the rim as her dad started laughing at something Damien said.

“I think you want the story to go in your favor,” her dad said and started laughing harder when Damien growled low.

“I just know the truth of the story,” Damien said and started laughing again. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.

Although she had never seen herself mated to a fierce and protective lion shifter, she couldn’t imagine herself not with Damien.

He was everything she wanted in a partner, and he never expected her to be someone she wasn’t. With her supportive father standing behind her every step of the way she was in a very good place in her life, and couldn’t have asked for more.

Happiness surrounded her, and there wasn’t a day where she wasn’t smiling because of it.

The End.
