“I don’t know, Hayden.” Brice put a hand on my shoulder. “I can’t say why this is happening. All I know, is that for us to be able to break our bonds, for dogs to break theirs, there must be a reason. And even though I don’t know what that reason is exactly, I do know that I will fight for you, die for you, if that is what is needed of me.” He glanced at Jasper over my head.
I caught Jasper’s slight nod before he put his hand on my other shoulder. I felt very small between the two of them. Very safe. I wrapped an arm around each of their waists.
Jasper gave my shoulder a squeeze. “Whatever it is that you are supposed to do here, Shlova, we’ll figure it out. And don’t ever be sorry. You didn’t ask for this. And whatever ‘this’ is, I have a feeling it is much bigger than just you, or us. Whatever it is that is coming, it will affect every being that lives in this world.”
Dodge snorted and put his head over my shoulder. I leaned my cheek against his.
Jasper and Brice started to laugh.
I let out an exasperated sigh. “What now?”
Jasper grinned at me. “He said that whatever it is you are meant to do here, he has no doubts whatsoever that you will succeed.”
I gave him a sideways glance. “That’s not what he said.”
He gave my shoulder another squeeze. “He said that if there is anyone stubborn enough to change the entire order of how things are done in a world, it’s you.”
I started to laugh. “How many times do I have to tell you guys? I’m not stubborn. I just know what I want.”
The fires were burning themselves out and I shivered. “And what I want now is just one night of sleeping in a cabin before living like a bush woman for god knows how long.” I reluctantly let go of my two pillars of protection and we went inside to have something to eat, all of us wondering what it was, exactly, that the future held in store.
