Callan POVI felt like the drive to the hospital took forever when in reality it didn’t. Anticipation of healing my sister’s voice for the first time in so long with all the motivation I needed to drive like a mad man. Sera placed a hand on my thigh and gave it a squeeze, reminding she was there with me. I cursed. I shouldn’t be driving this way with my pregnant mate in the car. It was too reckless. I gave her an apologetic look. By the time we made it to my sister’s room, my mom was already in the room listening to whatever Doctor Desmond was saying. “So, I would say you were very lucky, Stephanie,” Doctor Desmond concluded as we walked up to them. “Ah, Alpha!” The doctor looked at us and then to Stephanie. “I’ll leave you guys to have the much deserved family reunion. When my eyes met Stephanie’s familiar green eyes, I immediately felt a sense of nostalgia. “Hey slugger,” I greeted before wrapping my arms around her shoulders. “Ugh, not that nickname,” Stephanie groaned. I co

Mia POV I cleared my throat, although fully aware that my voice would not be making its appearance. I hadn’t heard my voice in so long, I had almost forgotten what I sounded like. ‘Lyla, Allister’s mate, came home a sobbing mess because her mate had been killed by you.’ I nodded to my son who gave me a knowing look. ‘Lyla stormed down the hall to where your sister and I were captured and dragged your sister out of the room by her hair. I knew better than to give a reaction. It would only make things worse.’ I thought of the state my daughter was in when I first saw her after being rescued. I could tell by the semi-healed injuries that she was lucky to be alive. No one needed to tell me that. ‘Usually Lyla would use us as her punching bag and then bring us back to our cell. However, when she didn’t come back I began to worry.’ I paused and thought about how I felt in that moment. Nothing made you feel more like a failure when your child was getting beaten and there was nothing you c

Callan POV “Babe, will you please say something?” Sera had been quiet since we had found out that she was pregnant with two pups instead of just one. The news, although shocking, made me happier than I could have imagined. Sera looked out the window before looking back at me. “How are you not freaking out?” I grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Will it be a little hectic? Yeah, but we got this babe. This is a good thing.” She let out a long breath. “Two of everything. You know that means double the diapers…” her eyes widened, “babe that’s double the shit!” I couldn’t hold back my laugh at her antics. “I think two alphas can deal with some shit, metorphorically and literally,” That made her smile. “You’re right, ugh im sorry,” she rested her head on the head rest and closed her eyes. “I just wasn’t expecting this. And I am so happy to have babies with you, I just….” “Scared?” I offered. She looked at me and gave me a small smile. “Yes.” I gave her han

Callan POV A ringing in my ear let me know that I was still alive. Shouts were muffled in the distance as my vision came to. The SUV was on it’s side where glas shards were littered everywhere. Leaning on Seraphina’s side of the car, making it so my seatbelt was the only thing holding me in my seat. Finally when my vision focused, I saw blood dribbling down the side of face as the rest of her body lay limp on the door that was crushed under the SUV’s weight. I coughed. “Sera, baby!” I called out to her. I received no response making my anxiety spike. “Seraphina!” I yelled while placing a hand on her shoulder. She was knocked out cold. Sheer panic began to course through my body when the smell of gasoline permeated my senses. I attempted to unbuckle, but the buckle seemed to stuck in the clipping mechanism. I let out a growl of frustration before extending my claws. Just as I went to slice through the fabric I realized this was a terrible idea. If I cut the seatbelt I would land di

Seraphina POVA wail left my lips as the doctor told me the news that one of my babies was not with us any longer. Callan held me as I sobbed. This was a heartache that I never wanted to feel, let alone anyone else feel.Burning hot rage ran through my veins as I thought about how fucked this situation was. I had found once I was awake that the person who hit us was not only dead but also was Stacey. A former packhouse maid. What had I done to her that made her hate me so much? Was her hatred for me so overpowering that it drove her to sacrifice herself when she hit us? It just seemed like an extreme thing to do. It wasn’t like she would be able to reap any benefits. She was dead. I felt a kiss on my head followed by soothing words. “Shhh, I got you baby. And I will go to the ends of the Earth to make sure we are able to avenge the death of our unborn son.” A son. A beautiful baby boy who didn’t even get a chance to breathe his first breath of air. The doctor continued to speak,
