A Promise To Bear (Second Chance Shifters 4)
carrying a bouquet of roses. “Oh my God! You look stunning.”
    “Thanks. Are those mine?”
    Lauren handed her the flowers. She looked at Mia. “Could we have a minute?”
    Mia smiled and left the room quietly.
    “I know you feel like your family’s not here today. But after everything you’ve gone through, Twila, and this past year? I feel like you’re the sister I never got to have. This locket is my mother’s, so I thought if you wanted to maybe you could wear it today. Mom says it’s lucky.”
    Lauren handed her a silver locket with a small tarnished heart at the base. Twila couldn’t say anything as tears brimmed in her eyes. She simply turned around and held up her hair. Lauren clasped the necklace, and they hugged each other briefly. “I’m so happy you came to Bear Lake.”
    Twila smiled warmly. “Me too. Are they ready?”
    “I think so. Everyone’s out there waiting. And Jasper looks hot as hell. I can’t wait to be as lucky as you are one day.”
    “You will,” Twila said as she squeezed Lauren’s hand. Lauren walked out of the room. Twila looked in the mirror one final time before taking a deep breath and trying to enjoy her last moments of being a single girl. Today, she and her mate would be locked together forever. She’d been dreaming about this evening for months, ever since Jasper had proposed.
    After Paul had been arrested, he admitted to everything he had done. He was taken to a special prison that was built for shifters so that he would be able to Change freely and not go completely insane on the inside. The offshore bank accounts were closed, and the money was released to the lodge’s real accounts. Twila and Jasper had been able to run the lodge without any problems and were now not only celebrating their own wedding there, but opening it up to others as well. There would be several shifter-human weddings at the lodge in the coming months. Twila wanted to help others celebrate their future just as much as she was ready to enjoy hers with Jasper. Things hadn’t always been easy—the business had had struggles here and there since Paul—but overall, she couldn’t have been happier with her decision.
    As she walked out of the dressing room and into the lobby, she couldn’t believe everything was finally hers. After feeling alone for so long, she finally had the life she always wanted. Two of the staff opened the lodge doors, and she heard a harpist begin to play as she walked down the path toward the lake. She walked alone, without an escort, because there was only one man she needed in her life, and he was waiting at the other end of the aisle.
    As she rounded a corner, she could finally see the water and Jasper standing beneath an arbor he had built specially for the day. White roses creeped up the side—her grandmother’s favorite flower. She wanted to look around at what she was sure were smiling guests, but she couldn’t take her eyes off of Jasper in a dark suit with a black tie. When she reached him, he held out his hands, and she placed hers in his. He lifted them to his lips. A simple kiss promised a forever that she couldn’t wait to begin.
