Myra and Ty leave not long after they wake up from the big bear pile. In the watery light of dawn, I’d almost taken to the wing and snuggled in with them. Like Olga and her mate. If having a raven shifter mate is good enough for the omega matriarch of our grizzly community, then it’s possible I could be with Ty.

Except that I’m not Ty’s mate. Until yesterday, I didn’t even know he had a kid, so what else could he be hiding? I know that’s not fair. Obviously, he didn’t tell me about Myra sooner because it wasn’t relevant. And to protect both of them. After what he said about his ex, they’ve both got to be afraid of abandonment.

I’m not sure how I’d have reacted to knowing about her sooner. I might have guarded my heart better, knowing there was a slim chance of Ty and me turning into anything serious. Or I may have gotten this wild idea in my head of a family with him sooner. Can we be more than casual? If we mated, would Myra call me her step-dad someday? I’d like that, a glitter loving, happy cub filling my life with laughter.

Ty’s smile when he watched Myra and me joking around on the walk out to their car warmed me to my toes. Even despite the chill of the late fall day outside in Maine. I’ve always known I wanted a family someday, but lately, Ty has me thinking that future isn’t some far-off thing.

That could just be hormones talking. I take blockers, but I’m coming up on a year since my last heat and they recommend stopping blockers once a year to be sure everything is in working order.

I was going to push it back until after Winny’s surgery and the holidays, but I could stop the blockers sooner. Before the remodel is complete. While I’m still with Ty, in whatever capacity he has room for me in his life and family. I’ve got a week of annual paid heat leave, so work won’t be an issue.

Would Ty agree to spend it with me? Even though he has a kid, I want to ask him for that. I’m sure her grandmother or the neighbor whom I met last night would watch her. If he agrees. If he wants that with me. Would he ever want more kids?

I shake away the mental image of a nest full of hatchlings with an alpha like Ty. I’d always assumed my mate would be a fellow raven shifter, but Ty shares the same values as me. He’s a doting parent. One who would embrace both sides of our potential future nestlings’ natures. My heart aches to have hatchlings of my own. I’ve been considering just picking an alpha to give me a clutch for a while now. Ever since Seb’s heats got sporadic, and we all pretended not to notice, since creep doesn’t have a cure. Sometimes it runs in families.

Winny hasn’t stopped her
