Summary
“Love, (Y/n)? You don’t mean that…?” His voice trails off and you see the gears in the mechanism of his mind turn as he realizes what you mean. His heart thumps harder in his chest, betraying his feigned ignorance.
You keep your hand there and without thinking it through, you take his right hand and place it over your chest, where your heart pounds beneath. “What does this tell you?”
“It don’t mean nothing.” His voice is lower and only loud enough for you to hear.
You hold his hand tightly as it remains over your heart. “Then why don’t you take a gamble that it does?”
——
You’ve been living out in the woods alone for some time. Breaking off attachments long ago in order to live on the straight and narrow, the only companion that you have near is your horse and a wild fox that keeps itself at distance.Coming back home from a hunting trip, you are faced with a storm such as one has never been, which would still be nothing out of the ordinary.
But a dim light can be seen from your cabin window, and the front door is ajar.
Brandishing your knife, you ready yourself for your home invader, but you aren’t prepared for how the encounter will change the course of your life forever.

Summary
“Ive never felt so brave and so scared in all my life,” you sigh. Your brow misted in sweat and your face wet with tears, you hold the little creature you’ve waited months to meet. Your body trembles as the shock wears off, but you can’t stop smiling.
Arthur pulls back on the blanket just a little, to get a better look. His touch is gentle, as though he could easily hurt the baby with just one glance.
You see his eyes as they stare in awe. There is a hidden sadness behind them, a nervous feeling as though he is betraying a memory.
You speak softly. “Arthur, loving this child will never replace the love for the one you lost.”
His eyes slowly look up to meet yours. He sees what you’ve accomplished, what he didn’t get to see the first time. It’s an appreciation for who you are and what you’ve given him.
A second chance.

Summary
“I could die right here…” he whispers.
“That’s not funny…” He almost doesn’t hear her, surprised that she is no longer asleep, but once he looks back at her face, he sees her eyes slowly open, and is welcomed by the sea of glass in her irises. “Don’t be sayin’ that...”
His hand leaves her waist, travelling upwards to reach her face. His fingers comb back her hair as he caresses her cheek, their eyes locked with a trepidation in their gaze. “I wasn’t tryin’ to be funny, Beth. Just romantic.”
“What’s romantic about dying?”
***You and Arthur have had a good 17 years on your homestead. Since leaving the gang, seeing the end of Dutch, and the Pinkertons, you both have been raising your two children: Alice and Hosea Julius. But now, they are growing up, and will be soon leading their own lives...However, with the US entering the war, young men are being drafted, including Alice's beau, Jack Marston.
How will you all navigate this new era? Will you be pinned down?
Or will you continue to run wild?
This is the third and final part of the Wild Series.
