Two days later, they were out in the woods chasing bears from Old Lady Kline’s cabin. After that, we ended up hanging out with Russel and his wife Lydia three nights a week. She told dirty jokes and drank as much as her husband, so we got along just fine.
Eventually we ditched the bed and breakfast and started renting an isolated cabin in the middle of woods. The owner was a kind man in his late eighties, and also the town’s sheriff. I got a job at the diner, and Axel worked for Sheriff Lemon.
Slowly, I fell in love with Frozen Peaks, from its friendly community to the open landscape around it. But it wasn’t until Sheriff Lemon passed, and the town asked Axel to be sheriff, that I knew we had to stay. This was it, our forever home. Just us, alone in a mountain cabin. Well, the two of us, and Scruffy, the mangy dog we’d met at the shelter in Corbeau. I asked Kaylee to adopt him for us on one of her visits. She was happy to help.
The one-eared dog sneezed every time a snowflake landed on his nose, but he kept up all the same. Tearing through the soft forest floor, Scruffy stayed on Axel’s heels—well, paws. A gentle breeze carried me on open wings as I watched the wolf and dog follow below me. Diving and weaving between treetops, I had the advantage of easier terrain. Miles of open space to shift and play, and my mate forever with me, I’d found my little piece of paradise. I still missed Danny, and always knew that I would. But in Frozen Peaks, I wasn’t angry anymore. It wasn’t because the vampire was gone, though I was glad my family and hometown were safe again. It was because I’d found my place in the world, made my own life. I was living on my own terms, with the man I loved more than anything. I’d found peace, and so much more.

A Taste of Bodyguard
Reynolds
I stepped back, and he slunk away, bashing his head into the sink before stumbling and then shifting to human form.
“Run,” Alex snarled, and he did.
I wondered if Rosie and Merril had ever had so much trouble at their diner before. First it was a fight, then naked men running from the bathroom. It seemed unlikely that they would come in to find out what else was going on.
“That was amazing,” Alex said between ragged breaths.
Her brown eyes were on fire. She was brave, and fierce, and perfect. I took in her scent—brown sugar, peppermint, and a sweet earthiness that was only her. There was no trace of fear, only exhilaration, which made me want her even more.
Padding slowly around Alex, I studied every inch of her—a beautiful, fierce she-wolf. More than ever I knew that Alex Briggs was my mate. She watched me, with an amused grin, then shifted back to human form. I followed her lead, and looked over her perfect, naked body.
Slightly parted, her full lips begged to be kissed. She was even more beautiful nude than I had imagined when her clothes had been on, full thighs and wide hips. Her ass was round and beckoned me to touch it. Every inch of her fair skin was flawless. At the center of her big, pert breasts, small nipples pointed straight at me.
I growled and stepped forward. Mine.
