Everyone stills and turns to look at the two Alphas fighting. Or really, they turn in time to see Ethan rip into the man who kidnapped me.“I’ve never seen Ethan so angry,” Aaron mutters, his wide eyes never leaving the bloody scene in front of us. Honestly, I thought the fight would be more difficu

Ethan POV“Is everyone ready?”Tension and adrenaline pump through my veins, making it nearly impossible to stop pacing since I got word from the scouts that they may have found my mate. If they’re right, then she’s with Alpha Thrange of the Whiteclaw Pack.“We’re almost ready,” Alpha Mandra says, g
