  She nodded. “Where is Campbell?”

  “In jail. Along with the rest of the crew. But we’re going to post bail for the chemist, Emery Livingston, so we can get some more information from him.”

  “Good idea.” She looked down at her hands. “I’m going to feel funny meeting the rest of your group. Not because of them,” she added quickly. “Because of . . . the way I was out of control.”

  “I knew you’d say that. The rest of them have cleared out. They packed up your camping stuff and put it in my car—along with my equipment—and drove the car over. We can stay at the house for a few days, if you want.”

  She thought about it. “Not here. Let’s find another camping spot. Somewhere I might not go by myself—but where I’ll know I’m safe because I’ve got a wolf with me.”

  “The wolf didn’t do such a great job last time he was in the woods.”

  “Because he was trying to take some pictures of the drug operation. This time he’ll be too busy with other stuff for picture taking.”

  “Oh yeah,” he agreed, gathering her to him and resting his chin on the top of her head. “I found my lifemate early,” he whispered.

  “And now we can spend the rest of our lives together.” She swallowed. “And have a real family.”

  “What do you mean? Didn’t you have a real family?”

  She pulled far enough away to meet his eyes. “You saw what kind of relationship I have with my brother. But it’s more than that. I had a father who didn’t value me and a mother who just faded into the background and let the men make all the decisions.”

  He nodded. “Actually, my family was kind of like that. That’s why I left home as soon as I could. And why I vowed I’d never treat a lifemate the way my dad treated my mom. And you get an extra bonus. You’re going to love the Decorah family. They’ll make up for everything you missed.”

  She clasped him to her, marveling at her luck that he’d stumbled into her campsite and into her life.
