Bound to Secrets (14 page)

Darla was awake but lay on the narrow cot in the room they had built for Keira, staring straight up at the ceiling, her face expressionless. She’d recovered from Connor’s bite, now her wolf lay dormant inside her.

“Leave her here for now,” Jack said. “We’ll take care of her.”

“Nothing like the company of vampires to make you consider the error of your ways,” Sebastian said dryly. “Just make sure none of them screw her. I don’t want her turning werewolf until we’ve decided what to do with her.” He turned to Connor. “So what do you plan?”

“We’re going back to Rannoch Moor. Apparently, everything that belonged to Logan is mine, including the house and the pack. And they’re a mess.” He wanted to ask Sebastian’s help. He’d been in denial so long, he knew next to nothing about how a healthy pack should run, and he wanted to know. There were people relying on him now.

Anya nudged Sebastian in the side and he grinned. “I have to ask—do you want some company? Anya wants to spend some time with Keira—”

“And us,” Tasha interrupted. “We want to come as well. Just for a little while.”

That meant the vampire. He’d have to check the house had a basement. But the thought didn’t upset him.

“And we would like to go through the notebooks with Keira,” Jack said. “There must be names in there that will give us a lead on the Agency.”

Connor realized that while he might be moving on to a new life, these people would always be his family, willing to answer if he called.

He had a future.

Keira’s hand slipped into his and she squeezed.
They
had a future. One he’d never dreamed possible at the start of all this. And that was all due to the woman at his side. He pulled her closer.

Mine

The word echoed through his mind. His wolf approved.

The End
