Finding Faith (Return of the Dragons) - Page 68

He’d die before he ever saw her come to regret her love for him.

Breaking the kiss, she smiled up at him, her eyes full dragon. “My dragon wants to claim her mate. What do you say?”

His smile started off crooked, slowly growing until it stretched wide. “I say hell fucking yes, so long as I can return the honor.”

Barely waiting for her nod, he swept her up into his arms. He took off upstairs as her laughter peeled around them, ready to start the rest of their forever.

Epilogue

Olivia

Olivia gazed out at the mountains, more at peace than she could ever remember being. Turning to look behind her, she touched her fingers gently to Cody’s claiming mark just as their eyes met. He winked at her, knowing exactly what she was doing, and she smiled in return.

The last time she stood in this spot, gazing at the mountains, she’d been filled with fear and uncertainty. She thought her future had been stolen from her, and she hadn’t believed she’d ever be happy, or even content, again. She’d just been focused on trying to accept that new reality.

And then she met Cody, and everything changed. Her heart was full, her fear—though still there to an extent—much diminished, and she was happier than she’d ever been before.

She had a mate, and he just happened to be the man she was madly in love with.

There were still things up in the air, and a threat continued to loom over his—their—troop. And the other four dragons still had a lot of healing to do.

But the one certainty in her life was Cody, and the way they felt for each other.

Watching as he carried more lumber into the house, she felt her heart swell, threatening to burst with her love for him.

His troop had accepted her position as their Silverback’s mate—though there had been much shock about their people being able to find true mates, and over the fact that she was a dragon. And soon, she’d put him out of his misery and agree to move in with him.

Not just yet, though. She was going to stay with the dragons until the reno was finished. Hopefully, the threat would be over by then, and things could go back to normal—well, as normal as they could get after what they’d been through.

And maybe—just maybe—she’d get lucky enough to see her friends heal firsthand.

Maybe, like her, they just needed the right person to help teach them how to find the best version of themselves they could be.

All Olivia had needed to set her on the right path was finding faith. Maybe each of them just needed a push from someone special to help them find what they needed to heal.

Just like Cody had given her.

When he walked back out of the house, she couldn’t resist. Taking off at a run, she didn’t slow down until she was leaping into his arms.

Right where she’d stay until the end of forever.
