Chapter 45

Richard hugged and kissed Julio and shook Etienne’s hand. “I thought I’d never have a friend like Julio again and now, because of you, Etienne, I have a Mate, I have Julio back, and thirteen others who are willing to stand by me in the face of a murderous cop. I don’t know what to say besides thank you.” Tears streamed down Richard’s cheeks.

“Thank you is sufficient,” Etienne answered. “You make my Julio happy. That’s thanks enough for me.”

Julien put his arm around Richard. “Come on, mon ange, you’ll feel better when we get home.”

“I want to be where you can hold me.” He rested his head on his wolf’s shoulder.

“Then that’s where we’ll go.” Julien walked him to the limousine. Four cars surrounded them the four blocks to home.
