Nathan's POV
After the chaos of yesterday, I finally found peace wrapped around my mate. I had contacted my father, ensured the pack was stable following their Alpha's execution, checked on Ruby, held the crying pups until Warren's purr soothed them back to sleep, and made love to Krysta until the terrible memories faded. Now she lay sleeping in my arms, and for the first time in months, my mind was quiet.
Morning light filtered through our bedroom windows, but I didn't move toward warrior training. Instead, I let myself think about everything that had changed over the past few months. The upheaval, the pain, the discoveries. Yet beneath all of it, I felt something I hadn't experienced in years complete peace.
I had found Krysta. I had avenged my best friend's death. Our future wouldn't be simple, but I was ready to face it. Today felt like the beginning of everything.
I like the sound of that, Krysta's sleepy voice drifted through our mind link.
