advances.
    And then…
    Then she’d met Ken. Of all times, while hunting down a wolf who’d sold his own daughter to be a sex slave in exchange for paying off a drug debt. She’d claimed Ken right there in the bathroom of the sports bar, executed her target, and then…
    And then.
    Life.
    Got.
    Crazy.
    Well, crazi er . Even by Dewi’s usually hectic standards.
    Maybe things will slow down now.
    A wolf could hope.  
    Now they had another Enforcer, Martin Brunhaus, to help them out. He was staying behind in Tampa to keep an eye on things while they were all in Idaho. Peyton had authorized the formation of an expanded pack council in Tampa, comprised of Dewi, Badger, and Beck, to expedite pack business in this part of the country.
    Yes, it was a lot of extra work. But now that she had Ken, she no longer resented the time she spent not out in the field. Before, field work had been a way to keep her mind off her crushing loneliness.
    She wasn’t lonely anymore. Their little private pack was growing. First Ken, then Nami. Maybe Martin would eventually meet his mate, and then they’d add her to their widening circle.
    Pups…
    Dewi tried not to think about that right now. Yes, she did want kids. She’d never thought it’d be a reality before, not in any concrete way, until Ken tripped into her life.
    Now…
    She’d need a sit-down with Peyton. If he thought he would order her out of the field if she got pregnant, he had another think coming. She was damned good at what she did. Lives—literally—depended on her being good at what she did. Yes, Beck and the other Enforcers were good.
    They were not, however, Prime Alphas. That huge advantage she and Badger had over the other Enforcers had pulled their asses from the fire more times than she cared to think about.
    With her parents’ killer now mulching a wooded portion of land out behind their house, she could finally shift her focus to looking forward, toward the future.
    On what she really wanted to do with the rest of her life.
    Long overdue healing could begin without the idea of avenging her parents’ deaths always invisibly hovering in the back of her mind.
    Their family had been fractured for years even before her parents were murdered. When Dewi’s maternal grandmother had died, killed in a tragic car accident just three months before her parents’ marriage, it had sent her grandfather, Duncan, into a depression.
    The generally held theory never spoken aloud amongst their packmates was that Duncan had killed himself a year after Charles and Chelsea’s younger son was born. Prime Alpha Peyton ensured the pack had a Prime Alpha heir to follow in Charles’ footsteps.
    Dewi’s father’s parents were already deceased, and her aunts on her mother’s side had moved away. She saw them from time to time at pack Musters, but not very often.
    She’d had Badger…and Beck. She loved her sisters-in-law Gillian and Asia, but neither of them were Alphas. Dewi hadn’t exactly needed advice on how to put on makeup or how to style her hair when she was a teenager.
    Making stealthy kills, improvised weapons, tracking, fighting techniques—those were the kinds of hands-on training she’d needed, which Badger and Beck had skillfully provided.
    Dewi and Nami hadn’t exactly been buddies when Beck first brought Nami home. Mostly because Nami hadn’t understood about wolves and mating bonds. But now…
    Now, Dewi loved Nami and knew those feelings were reciprocated. Sure, Dewi had grumbled and fussed during the dress fittings and other wedding planning sessions.
    Secretly, it was also nice to have the attention. Normal, average, human kind of attention that she’d never received growing up. The kind of attention she couldn’t have had, not when at twelve she was already named the Head Enforcer and going up against fully-gown male wolves to keep the peace in the pack.
    Her first kill had been five months after her twelfth birthday while on a mission with Beck. He’d told
