Wrapping up!

Her words relieved the last vestiges of pressure that'd stopped his throat, and the grayscale male finally regained his sense of equalibrium. It wasn't right, wasn't natural to be at odds with Addie. Aside from being otherwise meaningful to him, he also realized she was the best friend he had right then.

Later on, he'd sink into turmoil thinking about the changes his new status as father and brand new mate might wreak on their friendship. Later on, he'd agonize it late into the night, wondering if he could really do it - if he'd be able to turn his back on Easthollow and his family and his Adeline for some other, lesser girl. Later on he'd wallow in the guilt that came with indecision, and he'd berate himself for acting on the impluse that'd set him on this path.

But for now, all was right in his world.
