She looks in the mirror and her blue eyes almost glow back at me. “I love you, Bruin. I’m yours.”
“Fuck yeah, you are,” I tell her as I fill her up with my cum.
Epilogue
One Month Later
Penny
Bruin’s all quiet again. We’re having a good night, a party at the clubhouse. I was worried about how the club would treat Bruin, and even me, after everything. But they’ve all been good to us. It’s almost like they completely forgot that I was once an Eater. I wish I could. I still have nightmares sometimes, but Bruin has helped chase them away.
I look at Bruin and wonder if that’s why he’s all stoic and withdrawn. Is something going on with the Eaters? I heard Rita and Lisa talking about how the Eaters were building their army of shifters, but we knew it would happen. They can’t lose their vice president and not do anything.
I reach for Bruin’s hand and he stiffens. I try to keep the smile on my face. We’re sitting with Ronan and Bree and Bree is telling us the story of how she saved Ronan a few months ago. Ronan just smiles at her, pulling her into his lap.
I look over at Bruin again, but he’s looking at his beer bottle, ignoring everything around us.
I lean toward him. “Hey, do you want to go home?” I ask him. We’ve been staying at his house instead of his room at the club, which I have to admit I’m glad about.
He shakes his head, so I lean closer to him. Usually, by this point he has his arms wrapped around me, or is pulling me into his lap. But not tonight. “What is it, Bruin? Talk to me.”
He finally looks at me and when I think he’s going to say something, he just looks away real quick.
Ronan must have witnessed it all, because he says real loud, “Fuck, Bruin, just do it. You’re freaking the girl out.”
Bree slaps him on the chest playfully and looks at me with a secret smile.
I turn to Bruin and he’s still not smiling. “What is it? What do you have to say to me?”
He takes a deep breath and stands up, pushing the chair back and then falls to one knee in front of me.
The room starts cackling and yoo hooing. But I tune it out. I tune everything out except for Bruin.
He pulls something out of his pocket of his club cut and grabs my hand. “Penny, I love you. And I want you to be my ol’ lady.”
I smile at him, not believing that this is what was bothering him. My big bad Bruin is nervous. I tip my head to the side. “I thought I already was.”
He smiles then, a smile that fills his whole face. “Yeah, honey, fuck yeah, you are. But I want to make it official. Will you marry me?”
I tackle him then, and we both fall to the floor as I’m kissing him and crying. I don’t even care that I’m in a room full of men, his brothers; I cling to him, straddling his legs as he kisses me breathless.
He pulls away and we’re both gasping for breath. “Yeah, Penny. I think I want to go home.”
I sit up and let him put the ring on my finger. The men are all coming around to congratulate us and I hug Bree’s neck. When I finally get back to Bruin, I’m already unbuttoning my shirt. “I’ll race ya!” I tell him and take off running.
Bruin
I chase after her, ready to spank her ass because I’m sure some of the guys saw her taking her shirt off as she was running out the door. When I get outside, though, I completely forget about it. She’s standing there, already shifted into her Spirit Bear. The moon is shining down on her and she takes off running. I shift then, quickly running after her. I catch up to her easily because she’s my one… my mate. I’ll always catch her.
Epilogue 2
Klaus
It’s another party at the clubhouse and everyone is here. Ronan and Bree are at a table nearby and the commotion has finally calmed down. I still can’t believe my brothers have chosen their mates. I tip the beer bottle and take a deep swallow. I don’t want to examine too hard what I’m thinking, but I’m a little envious. I don’t know what for. I never thought I was the type to settle for one woman.
I watch as Bree laughs and Ronan pulls her into his lap. I look away quickly, feeling like I’m almost witnessing something private, something I shouldn’t be.
Yeah, it’s just another night in Eden.
Until the front doors swing open and Devlin steps in, running over to Deator. Dad looks over at me and I can already tell he’s pissed off, but I don’t know what for. Hell, I’ve laid low these last five years, ever since he and the rest of the club thought I fucked up and they took my patch for it. I rub at the empty spot on my cut, remembering it like it was yesterday.
