Talon had never wanted to feel his people call out to him as one, begging for him. The pain that had speared his mind and body was that of his pride. They were scared, hurting, and ready to deal out the wrath of a family who’d lost one of their own. His first instinct was to protect his mate, to have her skin under his touch…just to make sure she was unharmed.

The guilt that thought caused, he’d put a human above his pride, ate at him as he hurried to his home. He had to calm them. The last thing they needed was to have a pride of panthers running amuck through town, hunting down whoever had come on his land and taken the female.

He’d hoped to bring Liberty here under happier circumstances, but this was going to have to do. She was his mate, regardless if they hadn’t even had a ceremony. Hell, he hadn’t even marked her yet. That thought had him freezing up, refusing to leave the confines of the vehicle.

“Whatever you do,” he began, then swallowed. “You stay close to me until I let them know you are welcome, okay?”

“I…um, yeah. Okay.” She turned her head slightly, giving him a hard glare. “Why?”

“Just do it,” he growled, afraid he would scare her if he said that the panthers may not accept a human being on their territory.

“I will do it this one time,” she told him. When Talon looked at Liberty, the blue glow from the lights on the dash highlighted her beautiful features and her long, brown hair glowed softly. He wanted nothing more than to reach out and brush his fingers down her locks. “But you will not keep things from me, Talon.”

That statement brought him up short. He remembered his Guardians laughing and teasing him that she was an alpha among her people. From the hard set to her jaw, he knew that Liberty Raines was not a female to mess with.

As they entered the front door, Talon felt Liberty pause at the scene before them. The living room was crowded with his people. A few Guardians had already shifted, awaiting orders.

His eyes searched the crowd, finding the mother of the girl sitting in a chair at the back of the room, her mate on his knees, trying to console the upset female.

“I will find your daughter, Marie,” he promised, clearing the emotion from his voice, before turning to the pride. “I will stop at nothing until this girl is found. I need my Guardians in my office, now.”

“Alpha?” Harold, the pride’s healer, called out, his eyes falling on Liberty.

“This is Liberty Raines,” he said, deepening his voice. “She is human and she is welcome here.” He didn’t say she was his mate. Now wasn’t the time or the place to make an announcement. There would be time for that later…at least, he hoped so. The pride relaxed slightly, most of them nodding their acceptance.

“Talon?” Liberty whispered, squeezing his hand. “What can I
