Of course the bastard betrayed us! Of course he did! Why on earth did I think that this asshole of all people would just let me walk away. He was the one that, along with his elder council, had wanted to bring me in to question me about the mate bond in the first place.

The wolves that had surrounded us began to step forward. I knew what they were trying to do and it wasn't going to work. I'd never been a wolf to be caged or leashed and I wouldn't be now. They could try to pen us in to snap and snarl at us until we backed down but it wouldn't work. Not when we had so much to fight for.

They thought we would just bow down and give in, but they hadn't seen us fight since that first encounter. They didn't know how dedicated we were to our cause, to the little pack we had created, and I was fairly sure that none of them were prepared to fight to the death to keep us here, whereas we were prepared to die trying to escape.

Not that I wanted that, to be clear. But we also wouldn't allow ourselves to be captured again, to be used against each other again. That was done now.

As they edged ever closer I braced myself, preparing to launch. I knew as soon as I did my men would as well. I just needed these shifters to get a little closer first so I could hopefully get over them completely and not land on them.

"I just want you to know it's nothing personal," the alpha said, giving me a pitying look. He sighed for a brief second before turning all business. "Jax has men on the way to take you. The best thing you can do is not fight and go with them peacefully. Who knows maybe you can negotiate with Jax to see these ones every once in a while. You have to understand, Antonia, I had to do what was best for my pack and if I turned you over Jax promised to stop the raids and the kidnappings. Plus, I was even able to negotiate him leaving us alone once he had you. I'm sure once you adjust you'll be just as happy with him as you are with these men." Claimed the asshole who didn't have a mate. Part of me wondered if he'd consulted the elder council about this or if he was going rogue.

I can't imagine a whole group of people approving of this, but then I had experienced a lot in my life that I didn't think anyone else would be okay with or do to another person. It was hard to say what someone would or wouldn't do, especially when the safety of their family was involved. After all these years I finally understood my father better. He had taken such a huge risk standing up to the alpha, but he had done it to try and set precedence, to show everyone who their alpha was.
