“Maybe you can all help me try to convince my sister to move here,” Lee Ann says when the conversation lags after that, only to get a surprised reaction from all the women.

“What? I thought you were here to stay?” Alaska questions.

“I have my patients back home. I can’t just leave them.”

“Oh yes, Lee Ann said last night that you’re an Orthopedic nurse. Do you work in a clinic, or do you go out to your patient’s homes?” Dakota asks.

“I’m contracted by the patient after they are released from the hospital, either from a serious injury or an illness that is debilitating and impeding movement.”

“Well, can’t you come and work here?” Onyx asks with a frown.

“That’s what I’m telling her,” Lee Ann says.

“I was a lawyer in George Town when I first met Hawk. I moved here and found a great job with a practice in Town.” I don’t want to make a rash decision in the heat of the moment, but everything is looking like a move here would be a good option.

“Well, either way, I’m sure Blue will talk you into it. One thing I have learned about these boys is that they can talk the birds out of the trees when they want to.”

“Except for Frosty,” Onyx says with a wink.

“Frosty just glares them out of the trees.”

Dakota, Onyx, and Alaska bust out laughing. By the name Frosty, I’m guessing she’s talking about Frost, and from what I have seen of him in the last couple of days, I understand where she’s coming from. The man doesn’t break a smile.

“He’s not that bad,” Lee Ann says with a frown.

“I have noticed that,” Onyx says, stopping next to Lee Ann. “He seems to have a soft spot for you. I mean, he still doesn’t smile, but I’ve seen him talking to you more than I’ve seen him talk to anyone else here.”

Lee Ann shrugs. “I think he just knows that I understand him.”

Her comment has Onyx frowning. “I have tried everything to get that man to give me a smile. If you accomplish that, I will throw a party.”

I grin. It sounds like a challenge for her to get Frost to smile at her.

“He will smile one day.” The sadness in Lee Ann’s tone has the women looking at each other in surprise.

“Has he told you why he’s so unsociable?” Onyx asks with a curious expression on her face, but that expression turns to disappointment when Lee Ann shakes her head in denial.

“No, but it’s clear that he’s been hurt.”

“Did you know that Fang was engaged?” Dakota suddenly says, which has the woman gasp in surprise. “Hunter told me last night. Apparently, when he was younger, he met this one girl that he was head over heels for, but her father refused to let her marry him. Hunter says that Fang was furious that she wouldn’t elope with him and listened to her dad.”

We have started walking and are now surrounded by trees all around us. The peacefulness here is refreshing compared to the hustle in the city.

“But was she the one for him?” Alaska asks.

“That’s the thing, Hunter says that she wasn’t, but Fang confronted King when he wanted to stop them and said that he didn’t care about the one, that she was the one he wanted.”

“That must have been quite a blow to him, confronting King and going back on everything they believe, to have her reject him because of her father in the end,” Onyx mutters. “No wonder he’s such a tom cat.”

“Can you imagine if he had married her and later finds his one true mate? Knowing the men and the way they are, I wonder what he would have done?” That would have been quite a dilemma, because from what Blue tells me a mate’s pull is strong, so strong that they find it impossible to resist. We come upon a clearing that is covered with beautiful yellow and pink flowers. The whole clearing looks so untouched, so perfect that I just want to stand here and stare at the beauty of nature.

Then on the other side of the clearing a wolf walks out of the trees, his coat shining in the sun. As he steps into the open field another two join him, and then seven more. “That’s where they all disappeared to,” Dakotas says, which immediately has the wolves stop and raise their heads.

“They are beautiful,” Lee Ann says in wonder.

“It’s a good thing Sam has gone back to the house.” Glancing back, I realize that Sam did in fact leave. She’s so quiet that I didn’t even notice.

“Looks like you girls are about to get treated to perfection.” Frowning, I look back towards the wolves to see one of the wolves changing, I gasp when I realize it’s Blue, and he’s as naked as the day he was born. Then the others start to change and soon there are ten men standing in the clearing, all as naked as the day they were born.
