CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE – SETTLING DOWN

"Ready to head back?" Florian asked softly. Cassie nodded, taking one last look at the breathtaking view before them. "Yes," she said, her voice filled with certainty. "Let's go home." Hand in hand, they made their way back to the estate, back to their pack, their family. Whatever the future held, they would face it together. Cassie Hartman, once an outsider, was now an integral part of this world. And she was exactly where she was meant to be. As they approached the main house, Cassie could hear the sounds of the pack gathering for the evening meal. Laughter and conversation drifted through the air, a reminder of the community she was now a part of. Maxwell nodded to her as they entered, a hint of pride in his gruff expression. Elena beamed at her from across the room, raising a glass in silent toast. Even Alina gave her a small nod of acknowledgment. Cassie felt a surge of emotion as she looked around at the faces of her new family. These were her people now, werewolves and all.
