“I don’t want to lose you, Leah. I just found you. I’m already so in love with you. Argus is so in love with you,” he says, looking up at me with fear and pain in his eyes.

reach over and take his hand. “I don’t want to die, Brutus, but I do want to fight for what I believe in, for what is right. Too long, I stood by and let others rule my life. Now, I have a chance to stand up for myself, my daughter, for my pack, and make a difference, at least a small one.”

He shakes his head. “It’s not small. What you want to do is huge, Leah. You’re not a warrior. You’re not a fighter. These people, they’re coming to kill us. I don’t….I can’t…”

I watch this giant man try to hold

the table and when he looks up, back a sob. I stand, walking around

me, I sit in his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. He pulls me to him, holding me tightly, burying his face in my neck.

“It’s not that I don’t think you’re capable. You’ve already proven how strong you are, Leah. It’s the thought of losing you, of not being able to hold you like this, or in my arms at night. Last night…last night was one of the best nights of my life, Leah. I’m not ready to give that up, to lose that for some fucking Alphas who have a vendetta against our pack,” he says, growling the last part while his face is buried in my neck.

Irun my fingers through his hair, holding him tightly. “We have to do this, Brutus. Both of us. We have to fight for a better tomorrow.”

He takes a deep breath and sighs, kissing my neck and sending waves of pleasure through my body. When he lifts his head, his nostrils are flaring, smelling the scent of my arousal.

“I want to mark you. I want to make you mine,” he says. It’s not the first time, but he’s much more insistent now.

“I’m the weaker one of us, Brutus. If something happens to me…”

“It would kill me anyway, Leah. Even if you weren’t wearing my mark, losing you would kill me. But if we’re going to die, I want to die with you as my mate. Will you let me mark you, make you mine in every possible way?”

How can I say no to this man? This incredible man who, in such a short amount of time, has shown me what true love is.

“Yes, Brutus. I would be proud to wear your mark.”

His answering growl is only muffled by his mouth attaching to mine in a very possessive, loving kiss which promises everything, even if only for a short amount of time.

Brooklyn

When Luna Sophie asked for volunteers to come out of the safe rooms. I was one of many who raised my hand. I’m tired of standing by and letting others fight for me. I need to be strong and while I know I have only been sparring for just over a week, I’ve been practicing in my

As Luna Sophie ends the meeting, she makes eye contact with me and gestures for me to wait a moment. I can feel tears pricking at my eyes. I already know what she’s going to say. She doesn’t feel like I’m strong enough to fight.

I wait as others ask her and Beta Kinsley questions before she finally moves to me. I watch as Beta Lucas finds Beta Kinsley and pulls her aside. I’m guessing he isn’t any happier than Alpha Hunter about his mate being outside a safe room during this fight. I’m willing to give up my spot so one of them can be in the room, but I know Luna Sophie is about to tell me no.

“Brooklyn, I saw you raise your hand before, volunteering to come out of the safe rooms…” she begins.

“Luna, I know I’m not the strongest fighter, or even much of a fighter, but please, I want to fight for this pack who has done so much for me. Please don’t make me go into a safe room.”

She smiles at me and takes my hand in hers. “There are two reasons that I want you in a safe room, Brooklyn, and neither of them is because I don’t think you’re strong enough to fight for this pack. Hear me out, and then we can decide together, okay?”

I nod, now unsure of what she’s going to say.
