Her Four Mates
I called it “Tuesday got really, really bad.”
The metallic scent of blood was everywhere, mixing with smoke from our burning homes. I remember touching my mother’s cold face and asking her to wake up, please wake up, because I didn’t know how to work the stove and I was going to starve.
Kids, right? Even in trauma, we worry about the weirdest things.
That’s when they found me, four boys and their father, Alpha Magnus of the Elxra pack. The youngest boy, Kael, who was barely older than me, took one look at my tear-streaked face and announced, “Dad, can we keep her?”
