Liberty’s POVFrom the moment Zander’s teeth broke my skin it’s like a horror movie has been playing inside my head. Justice speaks over the top of the scenes flooding my mind, like a narrator, she explains my gift and what it means. I know I’m not awake, or asleep, I just am. It’s like I’m stuck, my mind awake and hyper aware, but my body numb and unmoving.Justice knew, the whole time, she knew about my gifts. I remember being aware of what was happening, in an abstract sense, up until Christian marked me. Then it was like the times Alpha Kendrick would sedate me with wolfsbane, things were fuzzy and jumbled in my mind. After Zander marked me, I could feel Christian’s hands on me, hear the words he whispered in my ear, feel the moment her breached me. It was like my body and my mind were barely connected but at the same time everything felt so… intense.After Christian’s canines sliced into my flesh, the bond with both of my mates was complete and Justice no longer felt the need to
Alpha Kendrick’s POV“Parts of his body were found spread over a hundred yard stretch just inside the east border Alpha. The blood was everywhere. Some of the rogues are threatening to leave if you don’t take action. They say you treat them like they are disposable and wont sacrifice themselves unless they have assurances.” My Beta actually looks a little green. The Black’s must have really spread the worthless rogue all over the place if it has unsettled Vinny’s cast iron constitution.“Of course those mangy mutts are disposable, why the fuck else would I have them on our land, stinking up the place? When my prize is back where she belongs, those scabies ridden, rabid dogs will be tossed on the pyre along with those bastard Alphas.” I roar in his direction, though angry with the situation more than him. Glistening glass shrapnel showers the room a split second after my empty tumbler impacts the bars of her cage. The red mist that descended when she slipped through my fingers has stil
Liberty’s POV“We’ve barely spent any time with Lottie and she moved in to help me find my feet so the two of you can handle pack business. You need to let me out of this bed at some point.” I struggle to escape the tentacle like arms of my mates, which have been holding me prisoner since we woke up a couple of hours ago.“Now that we have you, we can’t let you go.” Zander grins and tugs my arm so I fall back and land on top of him. Not missing the opportunity to take advantage of my temporary shock, Christian kneels between my parted legs and leans over me, sandwiching me between their hulking, muscular bodies. A heat rises inside me, and I just about give in to my lusty urges before I remember I’m meant to be making a stand.“No way, not again. You two are going put me in a coma if you carry on like this, you’re insatiable, both of you.” I slap Christian’s bicep half-heartedly. One horny Alpha would have been a lot to handle, but two is all consuming. Their emotions constantly engul
Zander’s POVCaleb is practically clawing at the inside of my skull, desperate to get out and tear that deranged prick limb from limb. How could this have been happening right under our noses? This whole time she was in the next pack, one that borders our own, and we had no idea Kendrick was raping, torturing and murdering she-wolves. ‘Our mate, she was there for years. He needs to be put down.’ Caleb snarls as he tries to push forward. ‘She needs us here for her now, we can’t just leave and go on a bloody rampage. We will have vengeance for her and Justice, when the time’s right.’ I talk Caleb down from a murderous ledge. If this is how he is reacting, I dread to think how Max must be going off inside Christian right now. Since finding Liberty he has managed to keep an impressive grip on Max, I hope this doesn’t push him too far.“Do you want me to continue?” Liberty asks. She looks from me to Christian and back again, obviously aware of our internal struggles. It might have been bet
Liberty’s POVI can smell his breath even now. The memory making bile rise in my throat.“I knew what he was about to do. Nobody had ever explained to me how pups came to be, but I had figured out as much from what I had seen. Even if I couldn’t find a way to free myself, I was never going to give him another soul to torture. I gathered the last bit of strength I could and brought my knee up right between his legs as hard as I could. He lurched forward and landed right on top of me, he was so heavy I couldn’t breathe. That’s when I heard Justice howl an apology and it felt like my whole body was torn apart whilst being turned over a roasting spit. The pain must have only lasted ten seconds but I was certain it would be the last thing I ever felt. Then it stopped, and I was still there, under him. Teeth sank into flesh and pulled hard, a tearing sound filled the air, then more screams. I could taste blood, but it was bitter, something about it was wrong. I don’t know how I knew, but I
Christian’s POVFUCK.FUCK.That fucking man is like a fourth goddamn person in this relationship. Every time it feels like we are getting somewhere, his bullshit antics come back to haunt her and fill her with nothing but fear and doubt.“You aren’t broken little one.” I release her arms and hold her to me. My shirt instantly wicks up her warm tears and clings to my chest. Zander looks on from the other side of the kitchen, where he is busy cooking up the food he has scattered all over the work tops. I know he wants to comfort her and tell her everything we have been telling her since we found her. I also know he is acutely aware of the damage that was done when she saw me in that alley, and that I need to heal that fray in our bond without his interference.“You’re right. You have told us things nobody should ever have the need to say, and we have given very little in return. It’s not because we are hiding anything from you baby. We just don’t want to add our baggage to everything y

Zander’s POVChristian effortlessly shifts back and comes to stand in front of Liberty, sandwiching her between us.“You will be ok baby. Trust that justice knows what she is doing and allow her to take control.” I whisper in her ear and spread my hand over her stomach, warm, calming energy passes from me into her and her breaths become slow and steady.“You will feel the shift, like pressure and pulling. It will ache and tingle for a few seconds, but it won’t be painful sweetheart.” Christian holds her chin in the ‘v’ of his hand. He kisses forehead and I feel his fingers spread over her lower back as he adds to the energy already flowing through her. Our parents used to call the gift ‘Alpha sedation’, and it’s been used by Alphas in our line for generations for many acts and deeds we are ashamed of. Christian and I have an agreement to only ever use it passively unless lives are at stake. We discovered, during our research, that many alphas have a gift of some sort. During the last
