He wouldn’t have my Alphas.
I lashed out, a thousand buried instincts uncoiled as I caught him across the neck. He reeled, letting out a gurgle, eyes wide as his gaze slammed back down to me.
Oh—oops!
Not as clean or deep as I was hoping for. I tried the blade again, but he seized it, blood splattering down on top of me. He looked wild, ready to kill.
Shit—!
But then that lightning storm slammed in, washing over me like a tide. Broken chains clinked, and feral ice-blue eyes flashed above.
Bunny!
It happened so fast I barely caught it.
Ace reached around the Alpha’s face, fingers curling into his mouth from each side.
The Alpha let out a choked scream to match my shriek of delight, but he was too late. His wail cut off as, with a shuddering snarl, Ace tore his jaw clean from his face in a mesmerising cascade of red.

The second the gunshots had started, Bella ducked to flee.
And as she had, Banner, the Alpha behind me, had clamped a cloth over my mouth. I’d thrown my weight against him, dragging my mouth free, but it was too late.

I recognised the creak of the side door that lead to the driveway.
A growl slipped out, but I couldn’t fight. Couldn’t move. Couldn’t do anything while nightmares crashed in.
When we stopped, I crumpled instantly, and I had to be caught by strong hands.
We were outside.
The dry, night air filled my lungs, and I tried to force the world into focus.
I had to run.
I blinked again, and the driveway swam into my vision, blurring with the night sky beyond.
“We’re out front.” I heard one of them.
On a phone…? I thought.
The shapes were hard to force still.
“I can feel you in there, Baby.” Bella’s voice floated in from somewhere, coiling around my mind, violent and unwanted. Soft hands ran up my chest, and a weight shifted, pressing me against the wall. “You’re right to be scared. I’m very upset with you.”
