TALLIA
The only thing I was certain of was that I was dying.
Every minute that passed left me colder and weaker. I was bleeding out.
I turned my head so I wouldn’t have to watch as Thomas and Charles abused the people I cared about most.
I had to fix this. I had to save them.
Bryant was chained up and couldn’t escape. The others were tied down by the Alpha Order.
I wasn’t.
Either Charles hadn’t noticed, or he didn’t know anything about sigmas, but either way, I had to use that.
This was our only chance.
The only problem was that to shift, I had to open myself up to my wolf, and that would hurt Bryant more.
But maybe not.
He’d cut off his wolf, too. I knew because I hadn’t felt any pain when he’d been stabbed the first time. Maybe he wouldn’t feel the mate bond now if I turned it back on.
It wasn’t like I had a choice anyway.
I closed my eyes and sucked in a deep breath before opening the connection to my wolf.
