Chapter 656

• "You have made us so proud, Cassia," Rafe said, a burst of love and pride flowing down his Alpha bond with the blond wolf, bringing happy tears to her eyes.
• "It was a group effort," she answered and felt another burst of deep pride, this time from both the Alphas.
• Lacey extricated herself from Rafe's arms, gathering the younger woman close. "You are an amazing young woman, Cassia Romanov, and we are so blessed to have you in our pack. You have given up much to help, not only the vampires, but also to protect your pack. It is time you now did something for yourself. Go and claim your mate, honey. Don't take No for an answer either. It's your time now. We can handle everything else."
