    The Alpha's Legacy - Tabitha Conall

    Chapter 1

    Grady couldn’t help but remember the last time he’d asked Fiona out and the almost sweet way she’d turned him down. But they were nearly to Marysburg. If Grady wanted to ask her again, he needed to do it now.

    Usually, Fiona was anything but sweet. It had been an excruciating experience the last time he’d asked her out, not least because she’d said no.

    But he loved her. He’d loved her for a long time. And he couldn’t stand around and not at least try to build a relationship with her.

    Fiona. It came out too soft. She didn’t react, so he figured she hadn’t even heard him over the pounding radio. Grady turned the volume down. Fiona. There’s something I want to talk to you about.

    Uh-oh. She punched him in the arm. You sound way too serious.

    He tried to smile, but even he could feel that it didn’t come out right. We’ve known each other a long time…

    Grady. That sweetness crept into her voice.

    His stomach jumped. You know how I feel about you.

    She put her flat palm on his arm as though pushing him away. Don’t do this.

    He stopped at a light. I have to. We belong together. You know it and I know it. Just give me a chance.

    Fiona turned the radio off. We talked about this. The chances are high that I’ll find my mates some day. If you and I step over that line and become more than friends, we’ll both end up hurt. And probably you more than me. Is that really what you want?

    That’s what she’d said the last time. You know the answer to that. I’ll take whatever time with you I can get.

    No, she said.

    The light turned green and he continued into Marysburg.

    I can’t do that to you, she said. I won’t.

    You keep thinking about the end. But what if you don’t find your mates for five years? Or ten? What if you never find them? It happens sometimes. And all that time, we could be together.

    She didn’t answer for a long time. Their path turned from highway to a main drag to a tree-lined residential area. He turned a few corners along the way, looking for the B&B where they had reservations. He waited for her to speak. She would, in the end. And she’d probably say no. But still he hoped.

    I can’t, she said. I just can’t hurt you that way. Tell me the last time you heard of a female who reached forty without finding her mates.

    He couldn’t. He’d never known one. Fiona.

    No, stop. Just stop. I can’t.

    He’d known she’d probably say no. But his heart broke in two all the same.

    ***

    Fiona stared out the window. She could almost feel Grady’s pain, and it killed her. Yes, she liked him as much as he liked her. But it didn’t matter. The two of them together would only lead to pain. At least this way, she could stay friends with him when she found her mates. She could keep him beside her the rest of her life as long as they never went over that line. And that’s how it had to be.

    Grady pulled into a little parking lot. Her sister Deirdre had recommended the Peacock Inn, located in a small building smushed between stores and restaurants on the tree-laden main street in Marysburg. Fiona and Grady went inside, leaving their luggage in the car. Her sisters were supposed to meet her here in the Inn’s sitting room. For the first time ever.

    Fiona’s palms were damp as she stepped into the room. Three women stood, turning toward her. Now she knew why Liam and Gavin had been so sure these were her sisters. She saw her features in each of their faces. One had Fiona’s warm smile, another had her blue eyes. Still a third had her dark hair shot through with red highlights.

    Hi, Fiona said, smiling so hard her cheeks hurt. She wanted them to like her. It shouldn’t mean so much what other people thought—except it did. At least with them.

    The three sisters advanced on her with hugs and hellos and smiles of their own.

    We never knew, Bridget said as she hugged Fiona. We never would have ignored you if we’d known.

    Definitely not, Deirdre added. We would have tracked you down and forced you to be part of the family.

    You think they’re kidding, but they’re not, Maeve said.

    The three of them pulled her over to the couch and chairs that sat in front of the fireplace. Even with no fire in it, it made the room look cozy and a little colonial. Her sisters proceeded to pound her with questions and stories, almost as though they thought they would never see her again.

    I’ll be here for two weeks, she finally said.

    Yes, but why wait? Deirdre said. We want every second we can get.

    Well…I was thinking about joining your pack after I get out of the Army in six months, Fiona said. If you’ll have me.

    Of course! Bridget hugged her.

    At length, Grady stepped inside and Fiona introduced him all around.

    Someone said something about lunch? Grady said.

    Maeve looked at her watch. It’s that time, isn’t it? We’d better get going or the men will get upset.

    ***

    Caleb waited for the Alpha of Stonewall pack at an old-fashioned little restaurant called the Weeping Widow. The name seemed kind of morbid but he supposed it fit the colonial style they’d used for the insides—dark wood paneling, low lighting. Reminded him of a dim little tavern in some ways. All that was missing was a haze of smoke.

    He held his hat loosely in his hand. Not for the first time, he wished he’d left it at the hotel. He’d forgotten they didn’t have cowboys in Virginia. Cowboys or cowboy hats or cowboy boots. He stuck out like a sore thumb.

    The door opened and Caleb smelled wolf. The man was big and tough-looking until he smiled.

    Caleb Couteau?

    Caleb stuck out his hand. You must be Jake Lawson.

    That I am.

    They shook. The hostess immediately whisked them off to their table. They were too early for lunch. The plan was to have some coffee and
