“Will he be OK? Is he going to live?” I lifted my head and tried to look at Dietrich through my blurry, tear filled eyes.
“Yes, he will live. But he will be different.”
“Different?” I asked him, wondering what he meant. “Are you talking about the scar? Is that permanent?”
“Yes, I believe it is, because of the beast’s poison. But I am referring to something else.”
“How else will he be different?”
Dietrich then told me that Shawn was going to be a hybrid, he was now part vampire as well as wolf. This made him different from me again.
“I’m losing him.” I cried out. “He is going to move on without me.”
“He will not leave you, bruder. Shawn and I are staying right here so he can be with his family.”
“But we’re not the same anymore. We’re not twins anymore.”
“You are, you’re just twins that have grown into different people. Do not worry, Bruder.”
I stayed by Shawn’s side for a while, but it was clear he would be asleep for a while longer. That was why I decided to leave and head home.

When I left Shawn’s side, leaving Dietrich’s room, I met Lena in the hallway. She had been waiting for me.
“I wanted to give you your privacy. I didn’t want to intrude.” That both made me happy and broke my heart.
“You’re my mate, you could never intrude.” I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tight. “I am sorry for losing my composure.”
“I understand. I would be just as worried if it were one of my brothers. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. You have a bond like no other. You’re twins, you shared a womb, you were born together, you were each other’s first and best friends. I would be more concerned if you weren’t this upset.”
“Thank you Lena.” I squeezed her tighter, letting her know that I was grateful for her.
“Come on, Shane, let’s go home.” She had said that earlier too. Did she want me to go back to her place or did she want to come back to mine?
“OK.” I agreed nonetheless.
I let Lena drive to wherever it was she wanted to go. I was sitting in the passenger seat with a hand over my eyes so I wasn’t really paying attention. We seemed to get to our destination sooner than we should have. This was too close for my apartment and definitely too close for her place.
When I sat up and looked out the windshield at where we were I saw that we were in the driveway of a nice looking house in Joaquin’s new housing development.
“Why are we here?” I asked her with a proper amount of shock in my voice.
“Come with me.” She smiled and got out of the car.
I shrugged and followed her. I figured she just wanted me to meet someone or see something so I followed her inside.
The first thing I saw was a really nice entryway with stuff that looked and smelled like it belonged to Lena. The further I went into the house the more I smelled Lena’s scent.
There was nice furniture and the place was beautifully decorated with colors that fit the both of us.
“What is this Lena?” I asked her with shock written on my face.
“I wanted to be in Colorado Springs. So, I decided to get a place here.”
“You could have moved in with me.” I told her, still confused.
“I know, and I thought about that, but then I thought we needed a place that was ours.” She smiled at me sweetly. “I’m sorry I did this without talking to you, but I wanted to surprise you too.”
“So, this is ‘our’ place?” I asked her to make sure I was understanding things properly.
“If you want it to be.” She was looking nervous now.
“Of course I do. This is amazing Lena. I am so happy that we could have a place together like this.”
“I’m glad you’re happy.”
I hugged her again, a smile spreading across my face that I didn’t think would come back anytime soon. This was amazing. Dietrich said Shawn would be OK and Lena wanted us to move in together. I was the happiest man alive right now.
