So, my little Easter Egg of "That's my girl". When I wrote it in Broken Warrior when Anders told Clint that Cara had pinned him in 15 minutes, I knew Clint had said it to Lily. His smile at the time was his memory of this day, when Lily took Anders down. I hope you enjoyed the tie-in.
We decided to run in wolf form to Alpha Jerome’s pack. From Canyon Ridge, it’s about four hours over rocky terrain. We leave early, Lily riding on Donovan’s back. Our plan is to stop in about three hours to regroup and send out scouts before walking to the Silver Dawn borders to make our stand. Whe
Two weeks after we went to the Silver Dawn pack, Alpha Jerome attacked Shadow Falls. Anders received the call for help.

Well, I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t always come naturally. Like latching on to my breast. Cara is supposed to have some instinct to latch on and my
When we get back to the packhouse, I rush to take Cara from Calista. Maybe it’s true what they say, that I just needed to relax. Or maybe I just needed my mate, but whatever it is, everything finally begins to connect between me and Cara and I can finally just enjoy my daughter. Clint and I get bac
My girls are the highlight of my life. There is nothing better than having the two of them in my arms together. Some nights, like tonight, I come into our room and my mate and my daughter are on the floor playing together. They are playing with blocks and building what looks like a packhouse and pa
