Conrad POVAlpha Erick and Alpha Sebastian both arrive at my cabin. I send Iris to deal with them. She can talk to them sweetly while I leave. If both of them are occupied, this is the perfect time to take Alanis. I go out the back and shift into my wolf. I run as fast as I can across the field and deep into the woods. I can go across the creek and down to the side of the wolf territory. I can be at the Alpha's packhouse before they realize I am not at the cabin. The wind whips through my fur as I run through the woods and make it to the clearing beside the packhouse. I stop and watch for a moment. I can smell her. I know Alanis is in there with Luna Kate. I only need for her to come outside, and I can take her away from her to be mine. I wait and wait, watching and smelling her sweet scent. The night begins to fall as I continue to wait. Alpha Erick and Alpha Sebastian still are not back from talking with Iris. She has such be

Alanis POVI awake in a cage, again. For the second time in my life, I am confined. This time by someone who is more psychotic than the last wolf that locked me away. This one is delusional and crazy. I look around the room and see him, and he is staring at me, looking at me and wanting me. I can sense his want for me. His raw desire for me, and it grosses me out. "We are supposed to be together, but your mother, Jasmine, she sent you away to be with Merril and his bitch. You were supposed to be my mate," Conrad growls. His wolf is fighting to take over, and I am afraid. I know that his wolf wants me. He will take my body for his. My body belongs to my husband, not this crazy wolf."I have a mate. I belong to Alpha Sebastian. I am not your mate, Conrad. Please let me go before it is too late," I beg him. I thought Luna Kate said he was harmless, but he is not. He is far from harmless. He looks as if he is ready to rape m

Alanis POV"Please stop!" I scream out, crying and begging. I just want it to stop. Luna Kate is taking some of the pain, but I am breaking. I cannot take much more. Noah strikes me across the face. "Give in to me, Alanis. Say it! Say you will be mine. Release Alpha Sebastian as your mate and become mine," Noah says, hitting me again. Blood is streaming down my face. I look at him, spit out my blood, and growl as loud as I can. I feel the power coming from within me, but the shackles and the silver are holding me back. "HELP ME!" I scream out to anyone that is listening. We are close, I hear in my mind. Luna Kate is coming, and she has my sweet Alpha with her. They will save me. Noah puts his hands around my throat and begins shocking me. "Say it! Alanis or I will just take it. You can be my mater, or you can be my breeder. I am giving you a choice!" Noah screams at me. "Take it. Go ahead, take it from

Alanis POV I walk back to the cottage with Belle. She holds my hand tries to give me some sort of peace. I feel havoc racing through my body, and I am not sure how to deal with any of it. It is a strange power that seems to be taking me over. "Do not worry, Alanis. Mommy and daddy can help you. Especially mommy. Mommy knows how to help you," Belle says. I let Belle lead me into the bedroom. "Get comfortable," she says. I lay on the bed, and I close my eyes. I feel her touch my stomach. "Are you happy about your babies?" Belle asks me. I open my eyes and look at her. "babies?" I question her. She nods her head. "Yes, there are two," she says. "Two?" I question her again.  I touch my stomach and close my eyes. "You can feel them, can't you. Feel their heartbeats," Belle says. I listen for the sounds of their heartb

Luna Kate POVI leave Luna Alanis behind, taking Belle and going home. Neither one of us want to leave her, but we need help to fight the dark enemy. Alanis can defeat him herself with the help of Belle, but we need the dark one occupied, and we have to ensure Alpha Sebastian's safety.Belle and I get into our truck, and I take one last look at the house. I can feel her pain. As much as her pain hurts me, I can only imagine the way Belle feels right now. This ordeal with Alanis must be excruciating for her. The way Belle feels what is going on with other wolves is sometimes a burden for her and terrifying for me.I drive away slowly, but when we get out of sight, I kick it into high gear and roll out of the wolf territory heading home as fast as possible. We make it to the interstate within the hour. Luna Alanis and Alpha Sebastian's pack is further away from the world than our pack. That is one reason we have to act fast. No one will know that Alanis is captive
