POV: EchoIt had taken me a moment to realize that I was shifting, and I was thankful when Tala pushed forward to take the brunt of the pain and finish our transition.‘Echo… I don’t know what’s happening, I can’t finish shifting. We almost shifted, but our body was forced back to our human form. But now that we’ve started shifting, our body must finish in our wolf form. We won’t stop transitioning until we do!’ Tala’s pained voice filled my mind, and I began to worry about what this could mean.‘I’m sorry Echo, something is wrong, I can’t…’ Tala’s voice had become weak and faint, and when she abruptly trailed off, I knew something was seriously wrong. I didn’t get to think about it though, because as soon as her voice trailed away, I was slammed back into the forefront of our body. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t even scream as I opened my mouth in silent agony.I vaguely heard someone's voice, before the tingles of our mate spread out from his touch. It took the edge off of the pain be

POV: EchoI felt my body sag against Atlas as my mind tried to catch up to what they were saying, as a loop repeated of bits and pieces of what I was hearing.‘Through the wringer. Dirt and soot. Torn and singed. Blood stains. Fair distance. Alpine Moon. Alpha Sebastian. Luna Levana. Destroyed. Eradicated overnight. No survivors. Tragedy. 3 Survivors. Massacre. Spared no one. Sebastian. Levana. Didn’t know who. After one thing. Their daughter. You. Luna Echo.’Tala whined as our heart confirmed what our mind didn’t want to believe. My heart ached with deep, long-buried sorrow. The kind of sorrow that could only come from serious loss, the loss of my parents, and the loss of my pack. I quivered as I took deep, shuddering breaths, hoping to alleviate the pain I was feeling.Atlas hugged me tighter, and the emotions overwhelmed me, causing me to sob into his chest as I grieved the losses that had been too long forgotten. Grief that demanded to be felt. The men seemed to realize as much,

POV: BradyExcitement was coursing through me as I reviewed our plans for the last time. Everything was ready to go, and I was finally, finally, going to have my Little Doll with me once more. Hearing my office door swing open, I turned to see my gorgeous mate step inside before closing the door and locking it.Raising an eyebrow, I looked her up and down. Knowing she had my full attention, she sashayed toward me in a tight red dress that barely touched the top of her thighs. Her cleavage was spilling from the low-cut bodice, and Raze’s appreciative growl rumbled across the room as the scent of our arousal flowed toward each other across the room.“Like what you see?” she purred as she wrapped her arms around my neck and drew me in for a kiss. Taking over, I ran my tongue over her bottom lip and explored her mouth with my tongue when she granted me access.“Very much so!” I rumbled, pulling back only when she was panting for breath, and I began pressing open-mouthed kisses down her ja

POV: Echo*Memory*:*My parents had been tense since Alpha Jarrod and Luna Esther stopped by for a visit the other day, and I could tell it had something to do with their son. Ever since we arrived, he has been hovering closer and closer every day. It’s been a while since we’ve been here, and he is always near me now.At first, I thought he might just be curious about the ‘rogue’ girl, but now I think it’s more than that. He never talks to me, and I don’t think he even knows that I know he’s been following me everywhere I go for the last few weeks. I always know exactly where he is, and so that is where I avoid going. The Red Stone pack is nice, not as nice as home was, but better than all that time we spent getting there while avoiding other packs and rogues along the way. We couldn’t even stop and get a vehicle anywhere because my parents were so worried that we’d be found. I’ve been working hard not to show how much I miss Alpine Moon, but I know it sneaks through occasionally. S

POV: Echo “NOO!” I punched and kicked and clawed, fighting them off of me, desperate to keep my memories. When I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, pinning me down, I thrashed around, screaming louder to drown out whatever they were whispering in my ear. “No! I won’t let you! Get off of me!” Slowly coming to, I quieted down a bit as I felt tingles spreading throughout my body from everywhere that the wolf’s skin connected with mine. Still uncertain, I kept trying to break free, but now I was listening to the words they were saying. “Shhh, Little Warrior.” His velvety voice was like a sedative as he continued. “I’m here with you, Little Mate, you are safe with me.” “There we go, it’s okay, I’ve got you.” Atlas cooed as I stilled, taking deep breaths of his alluring scent. Sensing the change in me, he slowly shifted our position. We had been sitting in the bed with his arms wrapped around my torso and arms, restraining me as I attacked him. Once he was certain I wasn’t fighting his
