Alessandro POVI stared at Linnea in shock. “I was in heat for three days.” Linnea whispered and sat up.A frown creased her forehead. “Does that make you mad that I had my heat already?” She asked.I quickly composed myself and cupped her cheeks.“You went through a heat by yourself?” I whispered, feeling concerned. Linnea nodded and tears welled up in her eyes. “I didn’t know what else to do.” She croaked out and looked away. “You should have come to me.” I blurted. “I could have made you better.”Linnea got up from the couch and glared at me. “Really?” She snarled. “So what, you make me feel better and then reject me when it’s finished?”A sob escaped her lips and she turned her back to me. “I thought that you didn’t want me.” She whispered. “So I took care of it myself.”I got up and wrapped my arms around her from behind. “I’m sorry.” I whispered. “I’m so sorry that I left you alone like that with a rejection hanging over your head. If I could take it back, I definitely w

Olivia POVWe were left alone in the alley and my heart dropped into a bottomless pit in my stomach. I refused to look at Gabriel, feeling like I might burst into tears if I met his gaze. I understood why he wanted to keep helping Linnea, even though it meant risking his life. I knew how important packs were to werewolves, and I couldn’t possibly ask him to leave his pack for me. A part of me was hurt that he wouldn’t fight for me, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I agreed to his request. I just thought we had more time. “Olivia.” Gabriel said softly. I didn’t reply, so he wrapped one arm around my waist and gripped my chin, forcing me to look at him. When I felt a tear slip down my cheek against my will, I cursed silently and closed my eyes. “Please look at me.” He pleaded. I opened my eyes and saw the same pain in his eyes. “Do it.” I whispered.Gabriel opened and closed his mouth several times, but no words came out. He groaned in frustration and leaned his

Alessandro POVSeeing Linnea writhe in the restraints was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I had to admit, when she walked into my office wearing that dress and acting all dominant with me I was almost spellbound. I was instantly turned on by her dominant aura and I wondered how I hadn’t been able to see it before. She was clearly an Alpha, and she knew how to use that aura to dominate a room. I pushed the bullet inside her and she stiffened. “Do you want your reward now?” I whispered as I pushed her hair away from her shoulder. “Yes please.” She whimpered. I brushed my nose against her neck and kissed her temple before taking out the remote for the bullet in my pocket. When I pressed the button, the bullet started vibrating inside her. Linnea jerked and she moaned as her legs started to tremble. I massaged her buttcheeks and pressed the button again, making the bullet vibrate even harder. “Ohmygod.” Linnea whispered, her breath coming out in small pants. I pushed her

Wanda POVThe chains rattled every time I moved, the cuffs cutting into my wrists and ankles. A few days after bringing me to the dungeon, they chained both me and David to the wall, keeping us from moving freely around the cells. “Do you think she’s still alive?” David’s broken voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I glanced up at him through the bars. “I don’t know.” I replied. “I’d like to think so. Even if she never comes back here, I would want her to find a nice place to settle down, far away from all this.”“I don’t know if she’s strong enough.” David whispered. “She’s always been so innocent. I don’t know if she has it in her to fight for us.”“Have faith, Alpha.” I replied. “We don’t know what’s going on from here. If they had caught her, they would definitely have rubbed it in our faces. Right now, no news is good news, okay?”David nodded solemnly. I hated seeing him so broken. He blamed himself for the attack and losing the pack and no matter what I said, he wouldn’t

Linnea POVI snarled as Antonia pounced on me, her claws digging into my chest. I snapped my jaws at her and managed to bite down on her front leg. Antonia didn’t let go, and I tried to push her off of me using my hind legs. I stared into her eyes and saw her hatred for me. The mindlink opened up and I heard her speak to me. “You were always in the way.” She spat. “Such a useless little brat. This pack would have perished with you as Alpha.”“So you sold us out?” I retorted. “You decided to betray the pack instead?”Antonia growled at my reply and I whimpered when she dug her claws deeper into me. “Gabriel would have been a better Alpha than you.” She snarled. “You’re just a pathetic half breed anyway.”“If I’m so pathetic, why didn’t he just challenge me?” I asked. “Because he wasn’t strong enough. You sold out the pack for power. You’re the pathetic one.”Before Antonia could answer, she was ripped off of me. I staggered to my feet and saw Gabriel pinning his mother to the ground
