of her brothers met in the middle of the room, taking her into their arms. She cried tears of joy, sadness, and loss. “This is my destiny, and I love him with all of my heart.”

“And he loves you,” Nash reminded her. “If someday, you and Booker take in a new pack member, I will be here to give you guidance. It’s what our parents would have wanted for both of us.”

It was, and she’d known that day would come from the time she was old enough to understand the meaning of having her own alpha genes. With the new information they’d received from the bears, Aspen felt hope, because she, and other alphas, were able to give their blood to any shifter if it was in need of a new pack, pride, or clan.

The black bears had become their friends, and that made things a little easier for everyone. The last two weeks had brought with it a lot of new information…information they’d hidden themselves from for the last ten years.

Isaac Duncan had come by two days prior and sat with her to talk about the responsibilities of being an alpha. Even though bears were different, the black ones still ran their clans like wolves ran their packs. They needed an alpha. Nash had learned information about the clan that had killed their family, too.

Grizzlies didn’t need an alpha, because they were made differently. That was something scientific that not everyone understood totally, but the black bears didn’t hold much weight to it. The clan that killed their family had been nomads passing through. No one knew where they were, but everyone was on alert in case they returned.

With Aspen and Booker claiming territory around his land, the land mass of the three shifter groups would be marked, and any other shifters coming across their lines would know it was occupied by three different families. They had their lands secured.

“Booker is waiting for you, and we shouldn’t keep him,” Mason said, interrupting her thoughts.

“Yeah, I should go,” she agreed.

“Everyone is waiting for you in the lobby,” Nash offered, holding out his hand to indicate she should go.

Before they reached the door, she felt his hand on her shoulder. “Hold your head high, Aspen Ward…soon to be Aspen Dupree, alpha to the Dupree pack. The next journey in your life has been chosen by the gods. It’s time to start living it.”

“Thank you, Nash,” she said, straightening her shoulders and holding her head high as she reached for the door.

It was time to live her life and say goodbye to her old. She’d dreamed of the day when she could start her own pack, and that day was finally here.
