Several of the males had families who chose to go into exile with them. He hated to lose them. These past few months had depleted his pack.

  “It’s time to rebuild. To start anew.” Tomorrow was the official mating ceremony for him and Shelley. During it, he intended to start bringing his pack into the new millennium. There were other half-breeds out there. Males and females who needed a pack, needed to understand who and what they were. Meredith’s pack and Quinn were proof of that.

  “I’ll do whatever I can to help,” she promised.

  James held her close to his heart, wondering how he’d gotten so lucky. “You help just by being here.”

  He could tell she couldn’t quite believe him. He took her shoulders in his hands and held her away. “I’m not just saying that. Being alpha is lonely without a mate. You can never show doubt or indecision to the pack. My word is law. I can talk to you, mull over ideas. You offer suggestions and support. That’s priceless.”

  She smiled at him then and he lost his train of thought. “You do the same for me.” She shook her head. “I’m so glad you stopped into my diner. You changed my life, my world.”

  “You changed mine too.” He pulled her close and kissed her, needing to reestablish their bond.

  Shelley kissed James, letting him feel all the love she had for him. She’d ached for him today, but she’d also been proud. He’d made hard decisions, but fair ones. The pack was lucky to have him as alpha. Under his guidance they would grow and prosper. And she planned to be right by his side, helping.

  James, her brothers and the pack had already given her so much. She longed to share it with other lost souls.

  He lifted her into his arms and carried her into the house. The door slammed shut behind her. She didn’t worry about anything but the feel of his arms around her and his lips on hers. She trusted him to take care of all the rest.

  The mattress creaked as he sat and rolled, taking them both flat onto the bed. She really loved his king-sized bed.

  He hadn’t released her mouth, his kiss almost desperate. She longed to ease his pain.

  She broke away. “I love you.”

  James smiled down at her. “I love you too. Now and always.”

  She’d been lost and he’d found her. Or maybe they’d found each other. She liked the sound of that.

  Then he started kissing her again and she forgot everything but the feel of his hard body against hers.

  About the Author

  N.J. Walters has always been a voracious reader of romance novels and decided one day that she could write one as well. The contemporary story, Discovering Dani, was the very first novel she wrote while living in a little town much like the one Dani O’Rourke lives in, though all other similarities to Dani’s life pretty much end there. Then she wrote another one that followed up on Dani’s friends and neighbors. But she didn’t consider herself a “real” writer yet.

  Just a few years later N. J. had a mid-life crisis at a fairly young age, gave notice after ten years at her job on a Friday and received a tentative acceptance for her first published novel (an erotic romance) from a publisher on the following Sunday.

  Happily married for over eighteen years to the love of her life, with his encouragement and support she gave up the job of selling books for the more pleasurable job of writing them. She now spends her days writing, reading and reviewing books. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to do it. And some days she actually feels like a “real” writer.

  N.J. enjoys hearing from readers, and she can be reached at njwalters22@yahoo.ca. You can check out her web site at www.njwalters.com.
