Malaki's POVMy heart breaks as I watch my mate leave. I felt him, he felt responsible, at fault for everything that just happened.I quickly stood up, wanting to go after him but Maddox grabbed me."Just give him a little time. I think he needs some space. Just give him a few minutes then go after him." Maddox said.I looked at him before glancing back in the direction my mate took off.I looked to Cain and Christian. Cain no longer looks angry, he looks sympathetic."I'm sorry, I know you guys have a lot on your plate. I didn't mean to overreact." Cain said."No, I said some really mean things that I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry."I said then looked toward the tree line again. I just didn't have a good feeling about him running off like that. I know Maddox said to give him some time, but I can't."I'm sorry guys, I need to go after him. Something doesn't feel right."I said before running for the tree line. As soon as I was close enough I shifted. I quickly found his scent, I le
Lucian's POV Addison and I hold my baby girl's hand as we walk her down the stairs from our room. I had to let Finn go into heat. I could suppress it, but it basically stalls it. I can't hold it at bay until it goes away, because it won't go away. It's basically putting it on pause until he comes forward again. So I had to let Finn come forward so he could go into heat. Because of that, we couldn't spend time with Angelica so I took her home during my heat. She's been back for a couple of hours, and we've finally convinced her that it's safe and okay to come to dinner with us. I know she's scared and nervous, but I'm dying to show her off. I can't wait to introduce her to the rest of the family. I plan on letting her eat first, that way it gives her a bit of time to relax before I start introducing her to everyone. I feel the smile spread across my face as we approach the back door. I see Maddox walking toward it from the other side. He reaches forward and opens it, holding it op
**⚠️ Major trigger warring in this chapter. Rape, abuse and torture! ⚠️**Garrick's POVIt's just after dinner, and I'm Just about finished going over the plans for tomorrow night. Looking for loopholes, mistakes, or anything I may have missed.I look at the map, all the plans and everything looks in order. I feel happy with what I see and sit back in my chair. I let out a long breath as I run my hands down my face.Goddess, I hope this goes good! That old hag better not let us down.I look at my phone, checking the time.I log out then close my laptop, practically skipping out of my office. Excited to go downstairs and release some stress before the big fight.I make my way downstairs, chuckling at the long line that goes all the way up stairs and wraps around the hall.I never realized I had that many men here that were into the same thing that Scott and I were in to.Pretty much the entire pack house. But there's also a few people in here that live outside the pack house.Unfortunat
**⚠️ Major trigger warning in this chapter! Rape, abuse, torture.⚠️**Garrick's POV My eyes rake over his beautiful dark skin. I can see the dried blood and dried cum all over his skin from yesterday's activities. Once I was done with him, that's when I let everyone else have him.But they know better. Each day, no one's allowed to have him until I do. Once I'm done with him, everyone's allowed to have their turn.I reached down, wrapping my hand around one of his dreads before yanking his cute little head up."Oh come on now, you know I love to see your beautiful face!"I say and he instantly starts crying louder. He grabs my wrist, trying to get me to release his hair. I feel the smile spread across my face as I squat down in front of him while holding his hair back, forcing him to look at me.I watch the beautiful tears stream down his face. His chest shaking as he cries."Please, Please don't hurt me again!""Awe, shhhh."I say as I let go of his hair, my hand goes to his face and
Asher's POVWe're waiting just outside of Garrick's territory.My cousin called me frantic last night. His mate's little brother is being tortured, and they're not sure how much longer he can hold on.His mate's parents can feel the little brother getting weaker and weaker.My cousin, Joseph is begging for us to help. They want us to come in and rescue him along with any other omegas we can.It sounds like they're planning to attack us tonight. They're leaving their pack around noon.But they won't be to our pack until late evening. It sounds like they're meeting up with another pack, but Garrick wouldn't say who.Reid agreed to let me take a rescue team. We're going in at 1:00pm.That's an hour after they're supposed to leave. That should be plenty of time for the place to be clear for the rescue.He should be far enough away by then. They won't be able to link him to let Garrick know we're here. Also, if he feels any of his members die, we will be gone by the time he gets back.I too
Asher's POVMy stomach dropped and my blood ran cold as soon as I heard the explosion. I screamed for my son as I ran forward.I could feel he was hurt.As soon as I turn down that hall I could see all the smoke and debris everywhere.I made it to the stairs that went down to the basement. The door that was at the top was blasted away.The stairwell was dark and full of smoke. I could hear frantic voices, groans and the sound of Gabriel crying.I grab my phone, turning on the flashlight as I made my way down. Stepping over bodies and pieces of bodies as I continue down.I call for both boys, I hear the grunt and cough of my son and Gabriel's voice crying out to me."We're right here!"I move forward faster, trying not to step on anyone. I feel relieved when I see them. I drop down next to them, but I'm horrified at what I see.There's a large chunk of wood sticking out of my son's stomach. He looks at me with a pained face."Oh goddess Malaki!" I say as I bring a shaky hand toward him.
Gabriel's POVI climb into the back seat next to Asher. He's holding Malaki in his lap, holding him sideways so the wood doesn't press against anything.As soon as we're settled into the back seat I hear whimpers come from our little mate in my arms.I look down at him to see he's looking horrified at the giant chunk of wood protruding from Malaki's stomach. Malaki smiles at him and tries to reach for him.I swallow the lump in my throat as I watch his little hand reach for Malaki's. He leans forward then stares at Malaki's hand that's wrapped around his tiny hand.Looking at his hand amazed. I can only assume it's because he's feeling the mate bond. He's feeling those amazing little tingles and zaps from Malaki's hand."What's your name beautiful?"Malaki says before coughing again. Our little mate looks at him horrified. Scared as he watches Malaki cough and spit up more blood. Thank goodness he didn't cough long.Malaki doesn't say anything else, he just smiles at him. I think he's
Malaki's POV"Wake up Malaki!"I took a sharp breath in when I feel a strange sensation rush through my chest and heard a voice that felt like it yanked me out of my slumber, forcing me to wake up.My eyes instantly snapped open and landed on Lucian's. He was leaning over me with his eyes glowing and his wings open slightly."Sorry, I would have woken you up earlier but your body needed a little bit of time to heal and adjust.If we had more time, I would have let you sleep longer. But we really need to be heading back to Reid's pack."He said in a quiet voice. I looked around, my eyes landing on the chair just next to me. I see Gabriel sitting there with our little mate in his arms. His head is resting on Justin's as they both slept.We have another mate!I slowly sit up, swinging my legs out of the bed. As quietly as I can I crouch down in front of them.My eyes taking both of them in as they sleep. Justin's legs are hanging over the right side of Gabriel's lap. His head is resting a
