Chapter 19 - Family

Chapter 19 - Family
Anya's P.O.V.

We return to the misfits' house with a lot more people than we started with, but looking around, it feels like we're a big family. Even the new people have relaxed and realized that they can fit in with us. We don't all have to be of the same species to be a family. Every one of us came from a bad situation, feeling as though we were all alone until we found each other.

"What are you smiling at?" Jordan asks as he wraps his arms around me from behind.

"Our family. We just met you guys yesterday, and look at how much we have grown already. Did you ever think the misfits would have this many people?" So many have found their mates, but many others are still waiting. Hopefully, we will come across their mates too.       

"Part of me was saddened every time we added a new member because that was one more shifter that had been hurt. However, what we all went through has made us stronger. We wanted to find that connection with our other half, and several of us have now. Many rogues forget about finding their mates and do whatever they want. We always held on to the hope that we would find our mates, even though we were rogues. It was important to us that we hold on to the one thing we could give them and experience it together. Not just losing our virginity, but love. All of us just wanted to be loved." He speaks so patiently that it warms my heart. All these men cared so much about finding their mate, so they would wait for them. I turn in Jordan's arms and smile.

"I think that's what everyone wants. Now, many of us have found it. I've been thinking. What do you say, our two gangs hit the road together? I think we could do a lot of good traveling around and helping other rogues who may be broken or lost. We have doctors and nurses who can help the injured humans and shifters that we come across. We have plenty of muscle to keep us all safe." I had been thinking about this since we decided to join our gangs. We do a lot of good where we're at, but why be tied down to one place? There are shifters everywhere, just like us, and we need to let them know they're not alone.

"I think that's a great idea. So what are we going to call ourselves now that we're combined?" Jordan asks before he kisses me, and I lose my senses momentarily.

"How about we keep it simple, The Misfits and The Bunnies?" I ask him. He smiles and shakes his head.

"The Bunnies and The Misfits sounds better. If we've learned anything, it's that our little bunnies are the leaders in every way." I chuckle, and we turn to look at the others scattered around the yard.

"Everyone, we have an announcement. Jordan and I want to take our gangs on the road. We want to help other rogues like us." Everyone cheers loudly.

"One more thing. From now on, we'll be called The Bunnies and The Misfits. Not only one gang but one family," Jordan says loudly. The cheers get louder. I guess we're going to need new jackets and a few more bikes for the newcomers. I can't wait to get on the road. Who knows what we'll run into?

The End
