The memories that cwhen | see the place where Clint and Donovan died is nothing compared to the flood of
memories that start when | see Angel and Alessia. But the dam breaks when | see Cara and Artemis. | don’t know
what it is about her, maybe because Artemis is the daughter of my Guardian spirit, but everything comes
flooding back. It’s overwhelming and while | was embarrassed to have Eli carrying me, I'm not sure | could have
walked on my own.
When we reach the pack lands, the difference in this pack and my pack with Eli is apparent. But, | can also see
the difference in this pack and my father’s pack. Where my father needed to be the most intimidating wolf in the
pack, Rik seems to lead with love and patience. Pack members of all ages run up to him, surrounding us and
walking with us back to the packhouse. There is no fear or intimidation as they ask him and Cara questions and
are asked questions in return. Both Cara and Rik seem to know every pack member by nand know their
lives enough to ask them questions as we walk.

Eli and | are introduced and when it becomes overwhelming, Rik and Cara tell them that we'll be introduced at
dinner tonight. When we arrive at the
packhouse, a young woman who looks to be as pregnant as Cara is standing at the back door of the packhouse.
“Welcto Canyon Ridge.” She says, smiling atand Eli. She steps back. motioning for us to enter. “I'm
Lacey, the pack’s Beta female. If you'll follow me, I'll show you your room and you can get settled. We have
lunch scheduled in an hour on the patio. Does that give you enough tto get settled and shower if you'd like?”
She asks as she guides us through the packhouse and up the stairs.
“That will be great.” | tell her.” Thank you.”
She shows us to our room and when she leaves, Eli setsdown and | look around. “Will our packhouse look
like this one day?” | ask him.
He comes up behindand wraps his arms around me. “Our packhouse will look whatever way you want it to,
baby. It will just take stime.”
| turn around, my arms snaking around his neck. “You are a good man, Eli Gunnar.” | say, meaning it from deep
within my heart.
He leans his head down against mine. “I haven't always felt that way, but when you say it, | believe it. And |

“I can’t tell you how much it means tothat you are here. Losing dad was... She stops, her voice breaking. Rik
is right there, his hands on her shoulders.
“Little Guardian, if it's too much for you....”
She cuts him off, taking his hand. “No, it's good to know that spart of them survived. It's just still painful for
me. Angel has been amazing and having her and Alessia has helped. And, of course, Rik has been amazing.” She
says gazing up at him with love in her eyes. “But now that you're here, it’s like our family is back together.”
She smiles through her tears, and | can see that Rik wants nothing more than to whisk his mate away and
comfort her, but he doesn’t. Maybe she needs this just as much as she needs his comfort. “You'll have to excuse
me. Pregnancy hormones.” She says, laughing through her tears.
