wait for her?” Ana asked.
Sable sighed. “No, we need to get this over with. I can call her out and hope that she is still weak from the fire.”
Jared placed his hands on her shoulder. “Then do it.”
Closing her eyes, Sable calmed her nerves as she concentrated on her mother and made the call. Mother, I’m waiting. Face me for your chance to avenge your mate’s death .

It took Sable’s mother about thirty seconds to make her appearance. Her magick was a little weaker, but Sable suspected heartache and rage fueled her power. Whatever, Sable was ready.
Beside her, Ana linked their hands together and squared her shoulders. Her magick ran free around her. Taking that as a cue, Sable lowered her shields to allow her own power to run wild.
Savannah narrowed her eyes and fisted her hands at her side. “You think to overtake me with your magick and your minions?”
“Yes, I do.” Sable answered loud enough for the enforcers to hear her. “This must stop. You have to be stopped.”
“Never.” Savannah thrust out her hands, sending a ball of energy toward them.
As one, Sable and Ana threw up a force field, deflecting the energy ball. Behind the witch, mutants charged from the trees. Enforcers jumped from the branches, ready to take them.
“Ready to end this?” Ana asked with her hand over her gun in her thigh holster.
Sable gripped her own gun. “On two, shoot her ass. On three, fire a large, lethal energy ball at her.”
“You got it.”
One.
They pulled their Glocks and aimed.
Two.
They fired, hitting Savannah in each shoulder. The witch screamed and crumpled to her knees.
Three.
Sable and Ana combined their magick, rolling it into a large spear of power, then thrust it at Savannah. The ball hit her in the chest. She met Sable’s gaze and snarled, “Bitch,” before dropping to the ground in a lifeless heap.
Sable stared, shocked at how easy her mother went down.
“She wanted to die,” Ana stated with little emotion in her voice.
Sable nodded, not questioning her sister’s comment. After all, Ana had the ability to look into others’ souls and see what most couldn’t. “She wasn’t my mother.”
A calm Sable hadn’t felt before settled over her. For the first time in her existence she was free to live, free to have a family of her own without the fear that her children would be forced into becoming assassins for a power-greedy, insane rogue.
Turning at the sound of the last mutant falling, Sable met the intense, beautiful, blue-eyed stare of her mate. Desire filled her as he stalked closer.
Jared snaked an arm around her waist and tugged her body flush with his. “I love you.”
Her nose tingled and her vision blurred. Cupping his face, she kissed his full lips softly
“I love you, too. Let’s go home.”
Epilogue
Home is definitely where her heart was.
Sable was living her dream. She had a house with her mate and son, and a healthy, loving Pack, who—well, most of them anyway—accepted her. The reality of what her father had done to so many was a daily reminder. Each life within Ashwood Falls had been touched one way or another by the evil workings of Felix Darwin.
And Sable was a reminder of the monster.
Sadness settled over her, weighing her down. She let out a sigh as she set the tablet on the sofa cushion and went to search for her mate. When she opened the front door, she let out a startled gasp at the sight of Cameron.
“Are you okay?” the female said with her brows drawn together.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Jared isn’t here.” Sable tried to soften her voice, but it came out with a slight squeak. She’d met Cameron a couple of times, briefly. Although the other female was polite, Sable sensed eeriness from her.
“I know. I just came from a meeting with Blaine, Luna, and the Council. Can I come in?” Cameron rubbed her round belly.
Sable stepped aside. “Of course. Sorry, I wasn’t expecting you.”
