Epilogue

Josh stood over Eric’s grave. Months had passed since he’d found Eric and Simone in Eric’s cabin when neither had shown for dinner or answered calls. It had been a gruesome sight. Torn clothing strewn. Furniture broken. Blood everywhere.

Two mountain lions dead.

The immediate aftermath was pure chaos. Their father had fallen into a deep depression after taking care of the burials. It’d been two months later before his father started acting somewhat normal again. Though what was normal for them now would never be the normal of before.

Josh and his brothers had to pick up the extra slack around the estate. Josh, being the oldest, took on more of the business relations, but because of Eric being gone—dead—everyone had more work on the land as well.

Several months later, it was business as usual. They all worked their asses off, but no one mentioned Eric anymore. It was sad, but Josh figured each of them had his own means of coping with what had happened. His method was visiting Eric’s gravesite when he felt down.

Before Eric’s death, Josh had started feeling hopeful about possibly finding a mate one day. He always knew it was a slim chance to have a successful mating, but the fact that their father had built the cabins on the property for each of them to have a place for trysts was a step in the right direction, Josh had thought. Now it just didn’t seem worth it. Why risk death?

Because we all are going to die one day, Rob relayed as he neared.

“I didn’t realize I was thinking loudly.” Josh chuckled as he folded his arms protectively against his chest and faced his brother.

“I know, man. It’s weird. I mean, I’m ready to start fucking women again, but it’s scary.”

“I just can’t chance raping a woman and taking her life.” Josh shut his eyes, trying to force that thought away.

“We don’t know if Eric raped her.”

Josh opened his eyes and stared back. “Her clothes were ripped and there was blood. What else are we supposed to think?”

“That they were friends with benefits and he lost control.” Rob shrugged. “When Dad contacted Alex and found out they were divorced, it was news to us all. Imagine Eric finding out when he was already fucking her.”

Josh dropped his arms and sighed. “Yeah, I know. We don’t know what happened. Just that he’s not with us anymore.”

Rob shifted his weight to his other foot. “Um, yeah, that’s kinda what I wanted to talk to you about. I was just in the office, and Dad was on the phone with his attorney setting up a time for him to come out and discuss changes to his will.”

“What the fuck? Did you ask him about it afterward?”

“Yep, he said he wants Eric removed from all the documentation. I told him that was crazy. I mean, Eric didn’t leave behind a wife or kids, so it’s not like anybody can come up and demand Eric’s share of Dad’s estate. But his mind’s made up.
