Twin Alphas' abused mate The gift of hope
Liberty’s POV That was not meant to slip out, not now anyway. I had been so careful to watch what I said, making sure I didn’t say anything to lead him to my conclusion without further evidence. I never intended to tell anyone about the two bodies that stood out above the rest on the blood drenched battlefield. Saying it out loud would only breathe life into it, and it isn’t something I particularly want to relive. It’s crystal clear in my memory. Every time I think about it, my blood turns to slush in my veins. I’m just standing there in shock and horror, watching as the blue halo surrounding them begins to dim, the snow on the ground around their bodies turns deep red and that all too familiar coppery smell begins to engulf me. Kendrick lays motionless only a few feet away, his head a short distance from the rest of him. No doubt Christian’s last act in my defense If I don’t find a way to change the events between now and then, my mates will be stolen from me, forever. As far as I
Twin Alphas' abused mate Distraction and Despair
Zander’s POV “They did WHAT!” I feel myself cringe as Christian’s voice bounces off the concrete walls of the Interrogation room. Hunter is in for it, because I know only something to do with Liberty could elicit such an extreme reaction from him. A few weeks ago it would have been a different story, but since finding her, she is the only thing he really loses his temper over. “Who is in trouble now? Liberty or Hunter?” I smirk in his direction and dodge the severed Beta head that comes hurtling my way. “Fuck Christian, that was over the top, even for you.” Of all the things to throw at me, he had to go for the head. “They have left the route they both agreed to stick to and are wandering around the lake looking for the seer. The seer Zand. Don’t they think if she wanted to be found she would make her presence known. Oh, and to top that, our little mate seems to think this woman is some sort of long lost relative. I’m telling you, this stinks of Kendrick, and his bullshit antics. T
Twin Alphas' abused mate Second chance?
Hunters POV “Esme, it’s true.” My chest squeezes the words out and my mind dare not believe my eyes. It must be… fifteen years, no, sixteen, at least, since I watched her walk away from me. I have spent every single day of each of those years convincing myself it hurts just a little less every time I think of her. It’s all total bull shit. I distract myself from the pain, go hunting with Christian, take my frustrations out on the rogues we find in the search for his parents’ killers. I tell myself it’s in their name that I commit such depraved acts against the scum we encounter, and it is true, in part. It’s mostly to remind myself how to feel something other than numb, emptiness. I know it comes across like I am no better than the rogues, after all I was one from the very day I came of age. But it’s not like that. I stumble through each day, numb and aimless, with no real sense of purpose or belonging. I don’t want to feel the pain of love or rejection, so I sought out the exact opp
Twin Alphas' abused mate Bourbon
Christian’s POVDon’t judge me. But in my fucked up head something almost snapped when I saw her in his arms, soaking wet and wearing nothing but a flimsy cloak. It’s Hunter for fucks sake, he would never be inappropriate with her, my rational mind knows we can trust him, but I’m not in a rational mindset right now.Every head turns away as I march up the stairs towards our room. I’m not sure if they are avoiding my eye or seeing their barely clad Luna. Either way I’m glad to reach the door without interruption.“What are you doing?” Liberty’s laugh pulls me out of my destructive thoughts. She tries to take hold of my hands as I fiddle with the wet, swollen cord tied at her neck.“You are soaked, I don’t want you to catch a chill.” I explain as I work to strip the sodden cloak from her shivering body. It’s not a complete lie, but I have other motives to relieve her of the saturated garment. She only has to look down to get a glimpse at my primary motivation.No matter how much I have
Twin Alphas' abused mate Esme's regret
Esme’s POVRejecting our mate and walking away, leaving a shattered man on that mountain, was the second hardest thing Ari and I have ever had to do. The fist was returning today to face them after so long. It is something I have both longed for and dreaded.Ari knew we had no choice, but a wolf feels the loss of their mate on a level no human could ever understand. The mate bond is spiritual for both souls, the human and the wolf. But for a wolf it’s so much more, their mate is literally the other half of them, separated by the moon goddess only to find each other again and become one. Human souls are complete, so if a mate rejects them, they will feel the pain but often still thrive. If a wolf is rejected by it’s mate once they have found them, their soul never becomes complete and withers away or becomes feral and jaded, warped by the excruciating pain it endures every moment of every single day. Rejection makes rogues and it is a fate worse than death for most, which makes it an
Twin Alphas' abused mate A new day
Liberty’s POV I woke up this morning with a new sense of purpose and the resolve to do what needs to be done for us to live a life of peace. Yesterday was a weird day, it felt like a dream, but also a nightmare, if that makes any sense. Finding Aunt Esme exactly as I saw her, was surreal yet also confirmation that my visions are in fact very real and accurate. I allowed myself to feel a momentary rush of relief when she stepped out from between the trees, but I hadn’t expected her arrival to stir up so many latent emotions. For weeks now I have known that finding the seer would give us a much needed advantage over Kendrick and whatever nefarious plans he was no doubt concocting. Discovering she was my Aunt, only moments before, added a whole new layer of emotion and all kinds of questions I never knew I had. The way she greeted Hunter is very close to the top of the list of curiosities. My new Beta was very tight lipped about his connection with Esme, if it wasn’t for my newfound in
Twin Alphas' abused mate The truth will out
Hunter’s POVChristian’s words of warning from last night echoed in my head as I stood at Esme’s door. Have faith, things happen for a reason, she is here, she is actually here. Could this be the second chance I never truly dared to hope for? I’ve spent many nights thinking about what I would do if I saw her again, pretty much every scenario has run through my head several times. Well, that’s what I thought, but I was woefully unprepared when I actually came face to face with her yesterday. She looked at me as if her rejection was a figment of my imagination, a bad dream I have relived every night since. I probably should have waited until my head is clearer before deciding to take matters into my own hands. If Christian hadn’t cut me off half way through my second bottle last night I would be even worse for wear this morning. As it is I feel better than I deserve.I saw Liberty arrive a little while ago and figured that if someone else is in the room things will be less awkward, or a
Twin Alphas' abused mate The library
Zanders POV The immense black Ash doors to father’s library felt so much heavier to my younger self. Back then it would take all the strength of both Christian and I to open one of them just enough to sneak inside. The intricately carved scrolls and mysterious glyphs which protrude from the wood, would leave their imprints on our backs and arms in return for our gargantuan effort. The bruises were worth the reward of entrance to the most magical place either of us had ever seen. Christian and I had very active imaginations as pups, I’m sure it must have driven our mother to distraction, not that she ever showed it. When we returned from traveling with her, we would race through the pack house to the original part of the building, full of expectation and excitement, loudly discussing what adventure father would take us on this time. It had quickly become our custom, whenever we returned home, and Father never disappointed. He would sit us on the giant, black bear skin in front of the
