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
Justin's POVI slowly wake up, feeling so warm and comfortable. I nuzzle my face deeper into my pillow.I hear the sound of my purr as a hand runs through my hair, along my cheek and down my shoulder and back.The sensation is so comforting that I hear myself purring louder as I nuzzle my face deeper into my pillow.I slowly open my eyes and stretch, feeling my arm stretch out, everything's so comfortable. I hear a little chuckle, it doesn't sound like my mother.I blink my eyes open, looking around for my mother who was just running her hands through my hair. I feel a hand on my cheek... Before I could even focus, I realized that touch was not my mother's.Every memory of what happened over the past week floods back into me so fast. I remember what has happened, and where I am.I was ripped away from my mother. Literally!My mother and I screamed and cried as I held onto her as tight as I could. Somehow, I had hoped if I held on to her tight enough, they wouldn't be able to take me aw
Justin's POV I feel myself waking up, I've never felt so comfortable in my entire life. I hear myself purr loudly as I nuzzle into my pillow. I smell a wonderful scent, it's so close to my nose that I nuzzle my nose into it. I hear my purr get louder and rougher as I do this. For some reason the scent makes me so happy. It makes me feel so at peace and so relaxed that I feel myself melting into the bed. I lay there for a moment before wanting to smell it again. I don't know what the smell is, but I love it! I hear my purr get louder and rougher as I search for the scent again. I find it and press my nose into it and nuzzle it. I feel so happy when I do this. I yawn and stretch my arms and legs out, but squeak when I feel hands run along my sides and around my back. I quickly lift my head, terrified and not sure what's going on. I rapidly blink my eyes, terrified I'm going to see his face again. I felt a hand on my face and hear his comforting voice. My eyes finally focus on hi
Angelica's POV"Please Daddy, you have to be able to save her!"I said, through my tears. I couldn't stop crying. I looked at Daddy, pleading with him, he looked at me with tears in his eyes as he grabbed my face."I'm so sorry my little angel. I can't, mother said this is how it has to be.She already went home to mother where she belongs. She's finally at peace and she's happy with mother. Mother is loving her and healing her.I know you can feel him, but you my little darling, you'll make it better."I broke down crying, my forehead dropping against his chest as I cried.I can feel him, his pain. It's so strong, so deep. I felt it the moment he saw her die."He's hurting so bad Daddy!" I said while crying."I know my sweet little girl.... It will pass."....I went to my room, I laid in bed crying for hours. My heart broke for him.I know I would have been giving him up if my dad could have fixed her and brought her back.It would mean, he never would have been my mate. But I was wi
Ryder's POVI stood there with my chest heaving, the tears running down my face as I tried to catch my breath. My body trembled with anger and heartache.I looked around the room then growled again. I turned and swung my fist forward. Feeling My fist go through the wall.I screamed as I punched the wall again and again. I slid down, dropping to my knees as I screamed and cried.I just destroyed my room.... Everything, literally everything is destroyed. The mattress, everything!I'll never get that image out of my head. The image of my mate hanging from the ceiling. The image of what they did to her.Her poor body was brutally destroyed.There wasn't a place on her body that wasn't hurt.There was so much blood, almost every part of her body was cut and mutilated. Those sick bastards cut her breast off.That damn angel, she knew that was going to happen! She knew and she could have warned me. I could have helped her, I could have saved her from that but she had to be selfish. She wanted
Ryder's POVI held her until she stopped crying and felt her body go limp.I pulled her head back slightly and realized she was sleeping.I reached up and grabbed my chest, where she touched me. Feeling for that pain that I felt before she touched me.It hurt so bad, it felt like my heart had been ripped and torn out of my chest. Or more like a knife jammed into my chest. It was sharp, It hurt.But not just physically, my heart was broken and hurt so bad.When I first turned 18, I looked for my mate. But I stopped looking at 20, not because I gave up. I guess I just lost interest in finding my mate.Not necessarily that I didn't want a mate. I just had so much going on. I became Michael's Beta, I had a lot on my plate. I worked hard, our pack wasn't doing that well when Michael first took over.Our pack wasn't strong, it took several years for Thaddeus and Michael to make our pack what it is now.Thaddeus has helped so many different packs, ours is one of them.He taught us how to figh
Maddox's POVWe just finished wrapping up our final meeting. I watch as my father tries to convince my dad to stay in the bunker."Please my love, is there anything I can do to convince you to go down there?""Nope! I'm afraid not my love!""How about, if you go in the bunker, I'll, you know?.... Let you top next time?"My father said to my dad and I spit my coffee out all over the desk.Lucian began tapping on my back as I choked on my coffee and the horrifying conversation I just witnessed.I looked at my father as if he was crazy, but he wasn't even paying any attention to me. He was begging and pleading with his eyes as he tried to give his best puppy dog eyes to my dad."As tempting as that sounds, I'm going to have to pass. I'm fighting, I'm not hiding out in a bunker!"I look at my brother and realize I'm not the only one grossed out by that conversation. My brother looks like he's on the verge of puking all over his desk.Julian, on the other hand, found it amusing as he giggle
