"No...", I murmur before shaking my head once again, "Don't do this... Please!" I grab onto his arm as he takes a step toward us, "Kaden! Don't do this!!" His fiery-red eyes snap to mine as he lets out a growl. "It's 'Alpha' to you.", he speaks with a two-toned voice as his wolf speaks through him as well. I slowly shake my head as my hands start to tremble and are forced to let go of his arm. His dominating aura engulfs me, forcing me to submit as he whispers, "Just go outside and wait there. That might make things easier for you." I open my mouth but no voice comes out. I glance at the male inside the cell in panic as my feet start to move on their own, obeying the Alpha Command. My mate only gives me a soft comforting smile and my heart crushes into pieces. With ragged breaths, I step outside the dungeon, my body trembling. Just then the screams of my mate echo through the underground structure and I fall to my knees, howling in pain and agony. _______________________________ With his mate finally at his side, Kaden believed he had secured his love life. However, as danger knocks on their door, the bonds he worked so hard to build, begin to crumble. In this desperate war for the safety of his loved ones, how can he prevent himself from causing harm to those he's determined to protect?
