was at this moment.
    Layne, the man who had killed her family, was dead. She was no longer in his clutches and she had Cash.
    His mouth was firm and demanding against hers, unlike the sweet touch she had experienced before. And that was perfectly fine with her.
    Suddenly, though, a scream tore through the air around her. Cash released her mouth and glanced to the side as he continued to stride forward. Chloe ran toward them with Devan in tow. Tears tracked down her cheeks.
    “You’re okay...you’re here.” She finally plowed into them. Her arms wrapped around Rylie’s back so she hugged Cash, too. “What happened...how did this happen?”
    Cash chuckled. “The how would be me.”
    “The new Alpha,” Devan said as he approached. Once there, he bowed his head in a proper way. “My allegiance is with you.”
    “Appreciated,” Cash responded.
    “He came for me, Chloe.” Rylie couldn’t hide the happiness in her voice, and she didn’t want to. “He fought Layne.”
    “And Layne’s dead?” Chloe’s eyes went wide.
    “He is,” Cash responded with a nod. “And if you all wouldn’t mind, I’d like a moment alone with my mate.”
    “Your mate?” Chloe’s eyes grew even wider. Her tears dried up instantly and a smile crossed her face.
    Rylie rejoiced in all of this. When she’d first run from Chloe’s car toward the unknown, she never would have expected this outcome. Everything had become a dream and one she didn’t want to wake up from. “His mate,” she whispered, staring into Cash’s gaze.
    Cash’s eyelids sank, and the lust nearly oozed from him. Instead of saying another word to her, he placed his lips back on hers. She felt his need in the greedy way he kissed her. But the most obvious thing was the hardness that rested in his pants.
    The wind rushed by her body as he began to walk forward to leave a chuckling Devan and Chloe behind. She gripped his shoulders and tightened her legs around his hips as he ravished her mouth.
    The front door to her bungalow opened as he breezed through and slammed it behind them. The scent of home came around her and she sighed into his mouth.
    Cash broke the kiss to grin at her. “This is your home, as it’s always been. Now we’ll make a life for ourselves here.”
    “And what a good life it’ll be.” She smiled in return. Glancing around, she saw all the familiar items that brought her comfort. The hardwood floors, the wood paneling, all the plush furniture that her mother loved. Tears couldn’t help but form in her eyes at the memory of her parents. She still had yet to deal with their deaths, and maybe because so much had happened she’d forgotten her pain.
    Now it returned.
    As tears trailed down her cheeks, Cash set her on her feet and brushed the droplets away with his thumbs. “We’ll deal with this pain in your heart. But I swear to you, from this day forward, life will get better. We’ll remember your family with the honor they deserve.”
    A sob escaped her mouth, but before she could say a word, Cash took her lips again in the most demanding of ways. His strength poured around her and she drank every bit of it in. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pushed her up against the wall.
    She gasped as her back connected with the flowery wallpaper. He ravished her mouth as his hands ran along her cheeks in a fierce show of territory. All she could do was follow his movements and bask in this glorious man.
    Suddenly, he tore himself away. His gaze focused on hers and it left her breathless. How incredibly sexy he looked. Arousal so scorching hot, it was like a molten flow through her. “I must warn you.” He panted slightly. “I am not in control of myself now.”
    That was music to her ears. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
    He drew in a long, deep breath. Then a growl that was much more wolf than human sounded low in his throat. “You’ve got no idea what you just unleashed.” He grabbed her shirt, pulled it over her head, and
