summoned my parents before the pack and accused them of conspiring to murder him to take control
of the pack. Death by challenge is completely acceptable, but as you know, murder is an unforgivable
offense.
Liam nodded.
I joined the meeting late and arrived just in time to see him shoot my parents in the head at
point-blank range. I lost control and shifted to my tiger. But he was ready, they shot me full of a drug
that forced me to shift to human. Once human, the Alpha said I had a choice. Shift to a small animal
and get in the cage or die with my parents. So I shifted and got in the cage. Sebastian sat back on
Liam s lap and wrapped his arms around his body.
Then what happened? Liam peeled Sebastian s hands away from his body and slowly rubbed
small circles into the back of Sebastian s hands.
He sold me to another wolf Alpha. Alpha Devon was collecting hybrids, he had shifters in tiny
cages in his workshop. He had been collecting for years, waiting for the right price. He said we were
worth a lot of money. Sometimes they wouldn t feed us. Or they would pull us from the cages and beat
us. Most had given up hope when Peyton pulled the lever that opened all the cages and set us free.
Sebastian gripped Liam s hand so tight that his knuckles were turning white.
You were betrayed by the very people who were supposed to protect you, and I was
abandoned by the people who were supposed to love me. We re a matched pair, aren t we? Liam
smiled sadly at Sebastian.
But I have you now, and you won t betray me, and you have me, and I will always love you,
Sebastian said as his cheeks turned red. Liam felt his breath catch.
Will you, baby? Will you love me?
Sebastian nodded. I started falling in love with you when I watched you comfort Rebecca in the
alley the day we met. I was there when you guarded Rian and the twins when the hyenas attacked.
You re the most amazing man I have ever met, Sebastian admitted. Liam simply leaned forward and
captured his lips.
Sebastian dissolved as their lips met. Finally! He was finally kissing his mate. At first the kiss
was hesitant and tender. But when he nipped playfully at Liam s bottom lip, his lion s eyes darkened,
and he demanded Sebastian open his lips to him. Once admitted, he took full advantage and tongue-
fucked his mate s mouth. Sebastian moaned and started to thrust his hips forward. Liam pulled back
and grinned playfully at his mate.
To think we could have been doing this for months, Liam said good-naturedly. Sebastian
flushed.
I tried to let you know, in my own way. I was always jumping into your lap and purring around
you.
Yeah, but you jumped into Kent s lap and purred around him, too, Liam said, smiling.
Sebastian felt the blood drain from his face. Liam s eyes widened. Sebastian was sure Liam could
hear his heart rate start pounding out double time.
Baby?
I m sorry. I m so sorry. I didn t know what to do. Sebastian started shaking in his mate s arms.
He could hear Liam s breathing become erratic.
Wait, are you telling me what I think you re telling me? He asked. Sebastian could hear the
strain in Liam s words as if he were trying to keep his voice even.
Kent smells good to me like you do. He is my mate, too. Sebastian felt his fear rise as Liam s
breathing became more erratic.
Please, Sebastian whimpered, and brought his arms up over his face.
Baby, look at me. Liam said evenly. Sebastian looked up. Liam had tears coming down his
face.
I will never, ever hurt you. I swear it. Please don t turn from me in fear. Liam moved his hand
over Sebastian s hair.
I m sorry! Sebastian cried before he flung himself completely into Liam s arms. He wrapped
his arms around his mate and tried to bury his face in his sternum.
This is all I wanted, baby. For you to need me. My parents didn t want me anymore, I couldn t
stand it if my mate turned from me too, Liam said burying his face in Sebastian s neck.
I do, I do, I do! Sebastian chanted brokenly.
Shush, kitten. I have you now. Are you sure about Kent? Sebastian looked up and nodded.
Is there anything else you need to tell me? Now is the time to get it out, Liam said.
Sebastian s eyes darted to the left as he hesitated for a second. There s one more thing, I
promise to tell you, can it just be later? Sebastian asked.
Just one more thing, that s it? Are you sure?
Sebastian nodded. Yes, I m sure.
Okay, then. As long as you promise to tell me later, I m okay with not knowing now. Wow.
Okay, let s go see our mate. Liam took a deep breath and cupped Sebastian s face. It s gonna be
