As soon as we passed through those gates, I felt an immediate wave of relief wash over me. We'd made it! I looked around Solidad, there were so many more beast people there compared to my home. All sorts of different species walked around, bears, lions, sheep, bulls, it was so much more diverse than Jacobe.

“Do you have any place in mind where we can stay?" I asked Orion, suddenly realizing that he'd never told me of any place.

“There's a place that's still in my name that I have here." He said, walking me through the town. “Might be a little dusty inside since I haven't visited in a while."

“That's okay, we'll fix it together." I said, hugging his arm.

“I'd like that." He ruffled my hair.

“I still can't believe we actually got here." I said. “I was worried I'd make it without you after that river took me downstream."

He hugged me close.

“You're okay now. We're together and now we're free to be together out in the open."

Soon we arrived at a decent-sized house.

“Well, this is it." He said. “I know it's not much, especially compared to where you lived before, but—"

“I love it!" I said, running to the front door. “Well, come on, unlock it!"

Orion just gave me a warm smile and walked over, opening the door. I looked around the main entrance room. As Orion had said, there was a fresh coat of dust on everything, but I didn't care, I was so happy to have this little place to ourselves. I would enjoy every minute helping him fix it up.

That's exactly how we spent the first week or so, fixing up Orion's place. We dusted, swept, and even bought some new furniture, including a new bed, which we of course quickly broke in. Orion ended up getting a job chopping wood in the forest for a local carpenter. Which soon made me think about getting a job myself. One day when Orion came home from work I decided to ask him about it.

“Hey sweetie." I said, giving him a kiss as he walked in the door.

“Hey pup." He licked me back on the cheek.

“I've been thinking, now that we're all settled in and everything, I want to get a job too."

“You do?" He asked.

“Mmhm, but I'm not sure what I'd be able to do. I never really worked a day in my life while I lived in the palace."

“Hm, well, I know a bartender at the pub me and the other woodcutters usually go to that's always looking for an extra hand, why don't you meet me there tomorrow and I'll introduce you?"

“That'd be great!" I said. “I'd even get to see you everyday after work if I started working there."

“So, how are you liking it here so far?" He asked. “It's been about a week since we moved in."

“I love it!" I said, hugging him. “It's nice having a place all to ourselves, and not being able to hide who we are when we go outside."

“Yeah, though be careful around one of the other dogs I work with, he has some pretty grabby paws." He patted my butt.

The next day I did as Orion said and met him over at the pub he normally went to after work. A place called “Ash's Fire House". I took a seat at one of the tables and waited on Orion to get there. I hadn't been to this pub yet, me and Orion hadn't had a lot of time for going out since we'd been so busy fixing up our new place and Orion getting a job that we were only just now starting to settle into Solidad.

“Hey there, you new?" I heard someone call.

I looked over to someone cleaning the table. He was a canine, looked a little like a German Shepherd, but a bit smaller, maybe a coyote.

“Yeah, got into town a week ago." I answered, watching him wipe the tables. “Not very busy this evening?"

“Nah, usually picks up in a few minutes, when more people are getting off work." He said. “Can I get you anything?"

“Not right now, I'm just waiting for someone. My partner, you might know him he comes in from time to time after work. He's a big black wolf—"

“Oh, Orion? You must be Edward then!" He said cheerfully, walking over to my table. “Orion's one of my favorite customers, actually told me how you two made it here. Sounds like you had quite the journey."

“So, he's talked about me?" I smiled and blushed a little.

“Are you kidding, you're practically all he talks about!"

I blushed more, it made me feel good that he thought about me while he was at work.

“I'm Ash, by the way." He reached out his paw and shook my hand.

“Ah, so you're the owner?"

“The one and only." He said, wagging his tail and picking up some empty glasses from the table next to mine. “So, you meeting Orion for a drink after work?"

“Sort of…" I thought about telling him. “Actually, I've been looking for a job, and Orion was maybe going to chat with you and put in a good word for me."

“Oh?"

“Yeah, he said this would be a nice place to work and that you were always looking for help."

“Yeah, I could always use an extra hand. Would this be your first job? I don't really require too much experience, it's not difficult work." He said, eyeing my form up. “We could probably have you on board, I'll wait until Orion gets here and we can discuss it more."

A few minutes after me and Ash talked, Orion finally arrived at the bar with a group of his fellow woodcutters.

“Hey there pup." Orion greeted, walking over and giving me a kiss on the forehead.

“Hi." I hugged him.

“So, this is that cute little human you told us about." One of the other woodcutters said, a malamute, giving me a raised eyebrow and a grin, making me blush.

“Oh right, Edward, this is Roscoe." Orion said, sounding annoyed as he introduced me.

“Nice to meet you Roscoe." I said, reaching out my hand.

Roscoe shook my hand tightly in a nice grip.

“Well, looks like Orion wasn't lying, you are a really cute human."

“Oh, thank you." I blushed.

“Alright, that's enough Roscoe, he's mine." Orion said, swatting the malamute's paw away and moving me away. I always thought it was cute when Orion got all protective of me like that.

“Aw come on, nice dogs share." Roscoe teased.

“Well, unfortunately for you I'm a wolf, not a dog." Orion said before turning back to me. “Alright, let's go talk to Ash."

“Oh, actually me and him were chatting before you got here." I said.

“You were? Did you ask him about the job?"

“I did, he said he could always use some help, but he wanted to wait for you to come by before discussing it further."

“Alright! Sounds like you two got off on the right foot." Orion patted my back.

“Hey there Orion, was just talking to your mate here." Ash said.

“Yeah, he was just telling me, I just wanted to put in a good word for him, he'd be a good employee for you."

“You just want to see him when you come by after work don't you?" Ash teased Orion.

“No! Well… I mean, it'd be a nice plus." I saw him blush under his black fur.

“Heh, sure, I'm fine with him lending a hand. Just show up around noon tomorrow, and I'll show you the ropes."

“Great! Thanks Ash." Orion patted him on the shoulder, making Ash stumble.

“Hey, easy with those arms!" Ash warned. “Remember, I'm a regular-sized coywolf!"

“Hehe, sorry." Orion chuckled.

“But, no problem, you two have a nice evening." Ash said as Orion led me away.

“Aw come on, why don't you two stay a while?" Roscoe called to us as we started to leave.

“Hmph, because we want to spend some time at home." Orion said back, closing the door.

“Heh, I like Roscoe." I teased.

“Don't even." He hugged me close, letting out a chuckle.

“I'm glad I have a job now." I said, rubbing his paw.

“Me too, a little extra income will do us good."

“Plus, it'll be nice to have something to do now while I wait for you to get off work."

The next day I went over to Ash's around noon like he told me to. I was excited to finally start working and helping support both of us. The first day was pretty easy, Ash mostly had me clean tables, later on he did show me how to prepare drinks. I was glad he showed me that since I wanted to be the one to serve Orion once he and his friends came to the bar later that day.

Sure enough, I got to put my newfound skills to the test as Orion and his pals came waltzing in during the evening. I came over and said hi to my favorite wolf.

“Hey there big guy." I said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

“Hey pup, how was the first day at work?"

“It's been great, Ash said I've been doing a good job and I'm learning fast."

“Aw, I knew you'd be a good fit for this place."

“Bet that's not the only thing he's a good fit for." Roscoe remarked crudely, flashing me a smile and a wink.

“Goddammit, keep your lewd comments to yourself you horny bastard." Orion said, annoyed.

I chuckled, clearly I was going to have to watch my ass around that malamute.

“So, what can I get you all to drink?" I asked.

“Just give us all a pint of rum." Orion said.

“Coming right up."

I walked over to the bar and got all five of them a glass of rum, put it on a tray and brought it over.

“Here you go fellas." I said, giving each of them their drink.

Once I got to Roscoe, he flexed for me and gave me a grin as he took his glass, making me blush as I looked at his toned malamute body. I tried not to pay too much attention to it as I didn't want to make Orion too jealous, but I did giggle as he showed off for me.

I glanced over to Orion and saw him giving Roscoe a bit of an unflattering look as he drank his rum.

“Hehe, your mate's cute Orion." He smirked at him.

“You just keep your paws to yourself, bub!" He aggressively sipped his drink.

“I'm just going to go clean more tables." I said awkwardly, grabbing a rag and moving more to the back of the pub, wiping down tables while Orion enjoyed his drink.

I kept to myself for a few minutes, happy to have my canine lover close by, even if I didn't get to talk to him much. I looked back to check on Orion and his buddies and quickly noticed that Roscoe wasn't there anymore. That can't be good, I thought to myself.

Suddenly as I turned to clean another table I bumped right into the large malamute, who was built like a brick wall. He looked down and gave me a smirk.

“Hey there." He greeted.

“Uh, hi." I said, stifling a smile as I kept wiping tables.

“Orion's a real lucky guy to have you." He said, leaning on the table. “You're a real cutie."

I blushed hard.

“Oh, thank you." I giggled.

“I know Orion gives me a hard time for being all flirty with you," He moved to the table in front of the one I was cleaning and bent forward showing off his butt to me, giving his tail a wag. “but I can't help it, your face is priceless every time."

My eyes looked at his rump, the pants he was wearing were very tight. My own pants started to get the same as I got hard looking at the sexy canine.

“Shame you're already spoken for." He said, moving around back behind me. “I wouldn't mind having a go at that ass myself." I suddenly felt his big paw grope my butt, making me practically jump on the table.

I suddenly heard a thunk, followed by him going “OW!"

“I told you to keep your paws to yourself!" I looked back and saw Orion had thrown a spoon across the bar and hit Roscoe in the head with it. “Now go take your piss and get your ass back to the table!"

“Uh, excuse me, no throwing shit in my bar!" Ash shouted. “And no harassing the new guy!"

Roscoe grumbled and proceeded to our washroom, while I tried not to blush too much thinking about what happened. I hoped Orion wasn't too mad.

After about an hour, I got off work and Orion walked me home.

“Sorry about what happened with Roscoe." I apologized.

“Don't be, he's the one who should apologize."

“Heh, I saw that his ears were flattened the rest of the time you guys were there." I said.

“I gave him a good chewing out after he got back to our table. He'll think twice before putting his paws on you again. I don't mind him teasing you too much." He smirked down at me. “But paws off my pup!" He pulled me close with one arm.

“Awww, as fun as it is to gawk at your friends at the bar, you're the only canine for me!" I rubbed his belly while we walked.

“You know it!"

We lived together in Solidad for about a year before I started thinking that I wanted more from Orion. I was a little worried I was moving a little too fast for a while, but I really thought I was ready to take that extra step with him, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this wolf.

Over a few months I saved up some money from what I got paid at Ash's bar and I bought a ring from a local jeweler and went to work one day. God, it felt like an eternity until Orion finally came through the door like he did every day. I asked Ash to get him a drink and immediately put in my special item in it before serving it to him. I hung around the table waiting for him to discover it.

“What?" Orion asked, smirking at me, noticing my particularly happy demeanor.

“Nothing, I've just been wanting to see you all day." I grinned innocently.

“You're up to something." He wagged his finger at me, continuing to drink.

“No, I'm not." I blushed a little.

“Yes you are, and I'm gonna find—" Suddenly he stopped drinking, the ring hitting his front teeth. “What the?" He quickly sipped up his drink until only the ring remained and pulled it out, then looking at me with an expression of awe.

“Well would you look at that." I said, acting surprised.

“I-Is this…"

I nodded my head.

“Orion, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," I said, beginning to get choked up. “if you'll let me."

Orion wiped his eye.

“You got to me before I could get to you, pup." He laughed a little. “I started saving up to buy you a ring a few days ago. So, as you could guess, my answer is yes."

He quickly pulled me into a hug and planted his lips against mine. I could hear other patrons in the bar clapping for us and caught Ash giving me a wink and a thumb's up out of the corner of my eye.

We had a pretty small wedding at the bar a few days later. Neither of us wanted anything big, we were just happy to have a ceremony to unite us for the rest of our lives. Though as I looked around the bar at all our friends happy to see us, I couldn't help but feel sad that my parents weren't there. I know they forced me out of my town, but I wished they could have seen this moment between me and the wolf I loved.

Ash ended up being the one to marry us. He volunteered and who were we to turn down his support.

“Do you, Edward, take Orion to be your husband?" Ash asked.

“Of course, I do!" I said excitedly.

“And do you, Orion, take Edward to be your husband?"

“Yes!" Orion barked.

“Then, by the power vested in me, by the two of you today, I now pronounce you human and wolf." He clapped his paws. “You may kiss the groom."

Orion gently pulled me closer and pushed his muzzle against my lips in the kiss to symbolize our union. I stroked the fur of his cheeks as we held the kiss before we parted, looking him in the eye.

The celebration went on into the night, everyone drank, had cake, and had a great time celebrating me and Orion becoming one tonight. Me and Orion decided it was time for us to head home. Thankfully Orion didn't get too drunk, so I didn't have to drag the 8-foot-tall wolf back home with me like I was worried I would have to.

Right when we both were outside our house Orion suddenly lifted me up and started carrying me in his arms.

“If we're coming home on our wedding night, we've got to do it right." He smirked and licked my cheek.

I giggled and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, letting him carry me into our house. Once we were inside, Orion immediately walked me over to our bedroom. I knew just where this was going, and I rested my head against his shoulder. He pushed the door open with his leg and carried me inside, placing me on the bed.

“It's time for us to complete the last step of our wedding." He growled softly. “Our final phase of our ceremony," He crawled on top of me, “completing our bond through the act of mating."

He ran his paw down my shirt.

“My mate… a gift meant for me to unwrap." He licked his lips.

I said nothing, giving him a smile and letting his paws slide down my body and start to remove my pants, sliding them down my legs before turning his attention to my shirt and taking that off. I spread my arms out, showing off my naked form to him, eliciting a lustful growl from him.

He stood on his knees and started to take off his shirt in front of me. I reached down and stroked my hardening member, gazing up and down at his pecs and abs as they were slowly revealed. He chuckled, looking down at me as he started to undo his pants, which were bulging with that massive cock he was hiding in there. He let his red cock slide out as he slowly pulled them down.

He smirked down at me and flexed, showing off the body he knew I loved, before moving down on top of me so that he was face-to-face with me.

“Today, you've made me the happiest wolf in the world." He kissed me. “My beautiful little pup."

He pushed his muzzle against my mouth again and held the kiss, while moving his paws down my chest. I wrapped my arms around him and let his tongue slide into my mouth. He moaned deeply, his paw continuing to move down my chest and belly before resting against my erect cock and giving it a slight squeeze, making me whimper with pleasure. I started exploring his body as well, moving my hands over his muscled chest, smirking, I decided to give both his nipples a little squeeze, making him growl. I giggled and remembered how he felt about belly rubs, moving down and rubbing his belly.

"Hm, maybe I should tell Roscoe about your belly rubs?" I teased.

"You do, and I'll give that cute little ass of yours such a bite." He reached around and gave it a squeeze before kissing me again.

I let his tongue explore around my mouth, I never got tired of the leathery feel of it whenever we kissed like that. His paw kept fiddling with my member, getting me even harder, my erection twitching between his fingers. I returned the favor and reached down with one hand and stroked his fat knotted cock, while my other kept exploring his chest, I never got tired of the feeling of that nice coarse fur of his, and tracing those battle scars.

“Oh Orion, I'm ready for you." I moaned, stroking the fur of his cheeks. “Make all of this official."

“I'll give my pup exactly what he wants."

Orion turned me over so that I was on my belly, taking me a little by surprise. He gave my ass a nice grope before pulling my cheeks apart and dragging his tongue across my ass, making my body shudder and clutch the pillow.

“Mmmm, I just love rimming that cute little butt of yours."

He gave it a quick spank, making me flinch before going right back to shoving his tongue into my hole and licking around my inner walls. I drooled slightly on the pillow, my cock leaking pre onto the sheets as Orion pushed his wet appendage deeper and deeper inside.

“God, I never get tired of how your tongue feels inside me!" My body shakes.

Orion growled in response, pushing further inside and pushing his long tongue against my prostate, making my body tense up and my cock twitch.

“Don't you cum yet pup, I'm going to have a lot of fun with you before you do." He said through his licking.

I squeezed the pillow tighter and breathed heavily as he got me nice and wet. He reached up and gently dragged his claws down my back, making me wiggle on the bed.

“Mmmm, yes, you're getting ravaged tonight, pup." He chuckled, dragging his claws down my back again.

Fuck, I loved it when he got dominant like that!

He pulled out and gave my butt a quick bite, making me jump and gasp. He laughed and did it again, and I bit the pillow in response, letting out a pained moan. He chuckled again before climbing on top of me and pushing his member against my entrance, putting both his paws on either side of me and nuzzling the top of my head.

“Are you ready, my handsome mate?"

“You know I am, you stud." I moaned.

Orion let out a gentle laugh.

“I always love how eager you are."

He gently pushed his thick member inside me, making me moan into the pillow.

“How are you still so tight after all our time together?" He asked, licking the back of my neck.

“Natural talent?" I joked, my toes curling the more he pushed his length inside me.

Once he was buried in me down to the knot, he started to withdraw his cock before slowly forcing it back in. He dug his claws into the mattress, slowly humping me, pushing his weight down onto my back with each thrust.

“Mmmmm, good pup." He moved one of his paws down my chest and belly, giving one of my nipples a slight pinch.

"Gah!" I gasped as my body wiggled from the feeling of my sensitive nipple being played with.

"That's for the belly rubs." Orion chuckled, doing it more.

"D-Don't give me any ideas about giving you more." I giggled.

Orion started off nice and slow, just how I wanted. I wanted him to build up to the roughness that I knew he'd get to once he got closer to cumming. He reached down and gave my shoulder a nibble, making my body shake.

I could hear his cock making nice wet noises from my slick hole as he continued to hump me at a nice and steady pace. My belly bulged against the bed each time he thrust into me. He rested his chin against my shoulder while he humped me and used one paw to turn my head and shove his tongue into my mouth again. I moaned lustfully into his muzzle. He pet the top of my head and growled while he thrust his cock inside me, gently pressing the base of his knot against my entrance.

My body shook as I felt my anus strain against that fat meat inside it. I looked into Orion's eye while he kissed me passionately, pressing his heavy, muscled body against mine. It was such an amazing feeling having a big sexy canine on top of you, humping away at your ass and claiming it as his.

“Orion! I want it harder! Give my ass a good breeding!" I begged, “I want to know that I'm yours, and no one else's!"

“You've got it pup!

He put both his paws on my shoulders and started going all out! Slamming his knot against my hole each time, making me whimper with pleasure. His long red cock was spearing my prostate each time, making me leak pre onto the sheets. He let out a growl each time he thrust into me, trying to force his knot in.

“My little pup! I can't wait to fill you with my wolf seed, and let you know that you're mine!"

He gave the side of my neck a little nibble, making my body twitch while he kept slamming his hips into me just like I wanted. I clenched my ass against it each time he pushed it inside me, eliciting a growl from him. He gripped my shoulders tighter and started slamming into me, making the bed creak and bounce. My eyes went wide, feeling my hole stretched by his massive knot. I couldn't even moan anymore, it was all just too much, I was nearly ready to cum, but wanted to hold it so that I came when my mate did.

Orion clamped his jaws down onto my shoulder, making me cry out in both pain and pleasure. I loved it when he'd bite me, I felt a bit of blood drip down my shoulder onto the sheets, my eyes rolled back as I prepared to feel his knot pop inside me before flooding my insides with wolf cum!

“Fuck Orion! Fill me! Make my belly swell with your warm seed!" I clutched the pillow tight with both hands.

With a loud growl and a final tightening of his bite he rammed his knot inside me and exploded with the biggest load I'd felt from him in a while! I moaned loudly feeling my stomach grow heavy with wolf seed and my own cock erupted onto the bed, getting the outside of my belly nice and sticky.

Orion took a deep breath through his nose, inhaling the aroma of my cum around me.

“Mmmmm," Orion hugged me close, rubbing my belly.

“Oh Orion, I'm so happy to be your mate."

“I'm so happy to spend the rest of my life with you, my little pup." He licked my ear.

“Me too Orion, I love you so much!"

“I love you too." He hugged me tighter.

Orion turned on his side and hugged me to his body, spooning with me in our afterglow. This was such a wonderful wedding night, and I looked forward to every day to come, as I spent the rest of my life with my favorite wolf.

Six months after the we tied the knot, in more ways than one, our relationship was still going strong. I still had my job at the pub, and Orion was still a woodcutter. But as happy as I was with Orion, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing. Every day I started to turn to thoughts of my parents, I couldn't help but wonder how they were doing. Did they remember me? Did they regret the way they treated me that caused me to run away? These were questions I'd constantly find myself asking.

“You okay Edward?" Orion asked, rubbing my hand.

“I am, it's just… I'm thinking about my parents again. I know it's been over a year since I left… but I still miss them, and it feels like I need to see them."

“You don't owe them anything Eddie." He said, hugging me.

“But they're my parents." I said. “I don't know, I think I just want closure with them."

“Do you… want to visit them sometime?" Orion asked.

“Do you think we could do that?"

“I mean, we could make a faster journey now that we have access to a horse, we could probably get there in maybe a day. Not like when we made our trek here all that time ago."

“Right… I think I do want to go though, just to see them, to speak with them. Tell them I'm sorry for leaving, but that I had to. I feel so guilty… the last thing I told them was that I hated them." I teared up thinking about that fight.

“I understand." Orion said. “If you really want to go, I'll go with you. I won't let you do this alone."

“I just hope we don't get arrested when we go. We are still technically fugitives, aren't we?"

“Could be. For all we know though, they gave up searching for us."

A few days after our conversation me and Orion decided to make the trip back to my hometown. As Orion said, with a horse it took us about a day to get there. We even had time to finally pay a visit to Abigail, so Orion could thank her for saving me after getting swept up by the river. We tried to visit Miller, but we couldn't find his cabin before we had to keep moving. By the time we made it to Jacobe, it was already nightfall and we had to get a room at an inn. My stomach was swirling from how nervous I was, I was really about to reunite with my parents after almost two years of being apart.

“Hey," Orion said, looking next to me in bed. “Can't sleep?"

“Not really."

“Nervous?"

“Mmhm."

“I can't blame you, this is going to be a big moment."

“Do you think they hate me?" I asked.

“No, I don't think they hate you, they're your parents."

“But the fight we had before I left… That's the last memory they have of me. Me telling them that I hated them." I said, clutching the pillow.

“Whatever happens, I'll be right there with you." He said, hugging me close to his warm, furry body.

“Thanks." I turned and kissed him.

I stayed awake for a little while after that, but with Orion holding me, I was able to rest a little easier and drift off into a peaceful slumber.

The next morning I didn't eat much at breakfast, all I wanted was to head to the palace and get this over with.

“You really should eat something before we go." Orion warned me.

I started eating a piece of toast nervously.

“Maybe this wasn't such a good idea." I said.

“We're already here aren't we?" Orion asked. “Besides, shouldn't it be me who's nervous about this? I mean, last time we met they locked me up in a cell, remember?"

“Right, even more evidence that this was a stupid idea! Why did I make us come here?!"

“Edward." He put his paw on my hand and looked me in the eyes with his one eye. “You said this yourself, this is something you need to do, you want closure, don't you?"

“I-I do." I said.

“I'm going to be right here with you, if something goes wrong, I'll handle it."

“T-Thank you." I said.

We both finished eating breakfast and made our way to the palace, hoping that no one would recognize us as fugitives from over a year ago. My heart pounded as we walked our way up to the palace and approached one of the guards there.

“We'd like to speak with Nobleman Thomason." I said.

“Thomason?" The guard asked, confused. “I'm sorry, but he's not a nobleman of Jacobe anymore."

“He's not?"

“No, he stepped down about a year ago, after his son ran off."

“Oh…" I felt my heart sink, had I really caused them that much grief?

“He and his wife never really forgave themselves, I remember them saying that they drove him away or something."

“Do you know where they live?" I asked.

“I can give you some directions if you want. They still live here in Jacobe."

“Yes, please."

The guard gave us some directions on how to get to my parents' house from the palace and after a few minutes of walking we found it. I stood outside, I was really about to confront them, after all these years. It had been in that moment that I realized I never really planned on what I was going to say to them? Should I have apologized for running away? Tell them that I'm happier now than I ever was in Jacobe? I wasn't sure.

“You going to knock?" Orion finally broke the silence.

“I am, I just… don't know what to say."

“Don't say anything, I think your presence will be enough for them."

“Okay…" With an uneasy hand I knocked on the front door.

We waited a few seconds before watching the door open, revealing my father standing there. Though the little time I'd been away from him had clearly not been kind. He had let his facial hair grow out now, and it seemed like he had a few more grey hairs than he did when I left.

My father just stared at me for a second realizing who it was standing in his doorway before staggering backwards slightly, his eyes wide with shock.

“Father?" I asked.

“I-Is that really…" Father asked.

“Yes, it's me, Edward."

Dad looked like he was about to have a heart attack. I didn't really blame him, I'm sure he never expected to see me again.

“Um… will you come in?" Dad asked. “And you can bring Orion with you."

Me and Orion walked in cautiously.

“Evalyn, I think you're going to want to come to the living room."

“Why?" I could hear mom coming down the hall to the living room. “Was some one at the door---" She stopped and saw us both sitting there.

I gave here a weak wave and she slowly walked in and had a seat.

“Y-You're here." She said.

“We're here." I confirmed.

There was a very long silence between us all, I don't think any of us knew really what to say to one another.

“Edward…" My father finally broke the silence. “Me and your mother never really thought we'd see you again… after you and Orion ran off together, we gave up looking for you about 2 months in, knowing you probably never wanted to be found. And this is why I'm going to say… I'm sorry."

“We both are." Mother agreed.

“Wait, what?" I asked, not expecting an apology from them.

“We were wrong in how we reacted to you and Orion." Dad said. “Had we known that we were driving you away like that, we never would have done what we did."

“We're both sorry to both you and Orion…" Mother said.

“We wouldn't blame you if you hated us." Father said.

“I… I don't" I said. “You both admit you were wrong, and… that's all I wanted." I started to cry, I never actually thought they'd feel bad about what they caused me to do.

Orion gently put his arms around me and hugged me close.

“We love you Edward, and we support whatever you decision for the rest of your life is." Mother said.

“Me and Orion got married a few months ago." I admitted. “We've been living in Solidad for almost two years."

“I'm glad you two are happy together." Father said. “I hope you two will come visit us down here from time to time. We've missed you so much…"

Both mom and dad walked forward and wrapped their arms around me. I cried and hugged them back, happy to finally have closure on this. I felt Orion wrap his strong arms around all of us in a large group hug. We were a family again, but with one new member that had never been apart of our family until now, Orion. The wolf that this crazy journey started with. I had everything I wanted now, my love of my life beside me, ready to spend the rest of his life with me, and my parents supporting my decisions for the future.
