It finally seemed like things were calming down around Thorn Forest. Thanks to Gareth’s followers who decided to turn over a new leaf and join our pack, we had grown in numbers, our population increasing by almost fifty percent.
I never imagined myself having such a quaint life. Jasper and I had a sizeable but still modest home just down the road from Rion and Daphne. It made it convenient to visit my nieces since I was very much involved in their upbringing.
I saw so much of myself in those little girls. They were determined little things, and I knew that they were going to be extremely powerful, possibly even more so than myself. They were learning and growing so quickly. I couldn’t be prouder of them.
Jasper squeezed me affectionately. “You seem lost in thought,” he said in a low, curious voice. “What’s on your mind?”
A small smile crept onto my lips as I leaned back against Jasper’s chest. He had his strong arms wound around my waist.
