Ashley finally learned the fate of Henry Hodgins.

With two bags in hand, she stepped into the house and shut the door. While out, Sara told her all about her father's murder, and though a newborn wolf, Ashley was shocked to learn that the last Alpha of the pack was the culprit.

Not only that, but she was also saddened to know that Henry died in Cade's arms just as the paramedics arrived. That's like adding insult to injury.

Sara also told her about how Cade took up leadership of the pack and put two others out of business for turning unwitting humans like herself. That only made Ashley admire him even more, which didn't help in her bid to keep her attraction from growing any stronger. Starting to think that's a lost cause.

Still, she wanted to do something nice for Cade after everything she'd learned, and Sara mentioned his love of strawberries when she asked about his favorite foods.

So Ashley decided to make something her grandmother had been famous for—chocolate strawberry cheesecake.

It was the least she could do, not only to express her gratitude, but also offer some indirect comfort.

“Cade?” Ashley asked after stepping inside, knowing he was home because his truck was in the driveway, but she didn't see him in the living room.

“In here, Ash,” he replied.

She looked to the right, walking to the door to see Cade sitting on the loveseat in the study.

“Just wanted to let you know I was back. I,” she stopped, seeing that he didn't look very well.

His eyes were cloudy with grief, giving her the nearly undeniable desire to go to him and offer comfort.

“You need to be alone?” she asked instead. “I can shut the door.”

“No, it's okay.” He was looking at a picture in his hand as he added, “I found something I thought I'd lost.”

“What is it?”

He motioned for her to come over, which was surprising. She figured most men didn't want to be bothered when they became emotional, but Cade didn't seem to mind. So she put her bags on the floor nearby and sat down next to him.

Taking the picture to examine, she grinned, exclaiming, “Oh my god, is that you?”

He nodded while she added, “I can tell that's your dad. You look like a couple of smooth criminals.”

It was hard to believe the little boy she saw there was the same man next to her, and Henry looked friendly. Now Ashley knew where Cade got his size anyway, as well as his hair color, but Henry's eyes were more of an amber brown like the twins'.

She handed the picture back, and Cade took it to place inside of a book sitting idly on the end table next to him for safekeeping as he explained, “I was seven years old and into superhero comic books, so Mom took a picture of us posing like you'd see on the covers. My dad used to tell me that when I got older, I'd start changing into a wolf, and it would be my super ability.
