motioned in the air and more men came by. Some of them carried ropes in their hands. Soon, Emma was tied up and they dragged her away in the snow. Aaron hugged Remy close to him.
“You’re safe now, Remy… You’re safe. The savage won’t hurt you anymore. I promise.”

Hours later, Remy finally finished explaining everything to her parents. It took all the arguing in her to send Aaron away but he left eventually. During the retelling of her story, Remy had to stop a few times to collect herself as she recalled the immense torrent of emotions that Blake incited in her. Her parents listened on in rapt attention and never once interrupted her. When it was all over, her mother took Remy’s hand.
“Oh, Remy, sweetheart. I’m…” There were tears in her eyes. “I’m so glad you found your true mate. Really, I am. But…” She took a deep breath. “But are you sure that’s what you want?”
“Yes.” Remy replied.
Her whole life, Remy Clearwater thought that it was wild wolves that she was supposed to fear but today she realized it was the other way around. Where hesitation once dwelled, only certainty remained. She was never more sure of something her entire life.
“I’m glad you’re sure but…” Her mother was searching for the right words but it was her father who said what she tried to say.
He eyed the cuts and gouges on Remy’s arms. “Aren’t you afraid of living with those savages?”
“They’re not savages, dad!” Remy snapped. “They’re just like you and I. They live and they love. The only thing that sets them apart is the fact that they’re free and you’re not. My mate—my real mate—said that if you wanted to join his pack, you’re free to do so. Do you think that Alpha Van Houten would ever let you do that?”
Her parents had no answer to that question. Finally, her father said. “Remy, we’ve lived here our whole life. I don’t think we can just pick up and leave at the drop of a hat.”
Her mother added. “But if this is something that you’re adamant on. We won’t stop you.”
“You…” Remy was shocked. “You won’t?”
Her father smiled sadly. “You were always a wild child. We couldn’t tame you even if we tried. If this is what you truly want, then we won’t stop you.”
“But promise you’ll come visit us.” Her mother added. “Promise you’ll let me see my grandchildren.”
Remy looked at her parents and smiled. “Of course, mom. I promise.”
“Good.” Her mother hugged her. “We’ll miss you, Remy.”
I’ll miss you too, mom. Remy hugged her mother tight to her. But her mind was turning around a more difficult question. How the hell am I going to convince Aaron Van Houten that we’ll never be together?
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
That night, Remy dreamed of wolves. They were all around her—close enough to touch yet every time she reached for them, they faded back into shadows. Every so often a wolf might come close enough to her but its features were blurred and hazy, as if she stared at them through a thin veil.
In her dream, her own wolf was pulling at her. Follow me… Come… she said and Remy followed.
The shadowy wolves around her parted. Some bowed their heads in acknowledgement while other turned away, snapping their jaws silently. Around her, shadow trees sprouted around her until Remy found herself walking through a dreamy summer forest. The grass was soft like silk and tickled her feet as she walked. Tree branches feathered her as she walked through them.
You’re close now… Come on… When had her wolf taken form? The great silver beast trotted happily forward and Remy broke into a run to chase it, knowing somehow that if she lost sight of it, she would be lost.
Her wolf moved faster and Remy found the gap widening between the two. Keep up! I can’t, she responded but the wolf would not slow. Other wolves were running beside her.
“You’re safe now, Remy… You’re safe. The savage won’t hurt you anymore. I promise.”
