“Probably,” Colt answered.
“Fine.” Trigg hugged them all up in a tight embrace, then let them go, nodded once, and said, “Now get back to work. We have a ranch to save, and a cub to prepare for.”
Colt’s laugh was emotional and the exact sound of true happiness. He settled Karis on her feet and cupped her neck, shook his head like he was the one who didn’t know how he got so lucky. And then he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, another one of his silent I love yous he was so good at.
This life wasn’t perfect. Not even close. But she no longer lived a bland existence. She hadn’t settled. Fate had always had different plans for her. She just hadn’t realized it until now. Until this moment, when everything she’d always wanted clicked perfectly into place. All the hard had been worth it. She could see that so clearly now and was grateful for the struggle, because how could she truly appreciate the gravity of this moment if her life had been easy?
Colt had always called her a fixer, but she wasn’t the only one. He was a fixer, too. He’d pulled her from a path she’d planned, a path that would have led her to an unmemorable life. And he’d given her purpose, a home, a Clan, and now this…
He’d given her something she’d always, always dreamed of.
He’d given her the best gift—a cub, and the promise to always be there to protect their little family. And all of it was possible because of his very first gift to her.
Without hesitation, he’d given her his heart—the heart of the Warmaker.

Sneak Peek
For the Soul of an Outlaw
It wasn’t sickness that had made Genie go still and quiet.
It was sadness.
As she watched the Two Claws Clan hugging in the barn, crying for joy over the news of Karis’s pregnancy, her reality was very different.
The crows were coming for her, and there was no sanctuary here anymore. This had been easier when Ramsey hadn’t known where she was. It was easier when she didn’t feel so deeply for these people here. When Colton hadn’t proved that he was a loyal friend.
But it was clear as crystal he would die to keep her safe. And to him, she was just a pet. He had no idea what she really was. Another wave of guilt wracked her chest and made her heart feel too big. She gripped the exposed rafter above them with her little claws, but barely kept from swaying under the weight of the trouble she’d found.
God, no one had ever dug a deeper hole than her, and now it wasn’t just her at risk. Now there was a cub.
And on top of it all, on top of everything else, her heart was aching because she missed someone—two someones who had left without her having the courage to expose her true self.
Below her, the Clan laughed and wiped their eyes in happiness over the bright spot in their future. Over a cub that would give them even more to fight for.
But that story would never belong to Genie.
Ramsey would never quit until she belonged to him again.
Before Genie had come here, she hadn’t known what love was.
She’d known happiness here, watching her friends find their mates and fight for a good life she’d always thought was impossible for people like them.
She owed Colt and Karis a debt for showing her what real friendship, loyalty, and kindness were.
She didn’t know how she was going to accomplish it, but she was going to save the Two Claws Clan from this war.
