this man.

“It is what I have trained you and prepared you for all these years,

Sammy. You are going to mate with Fidelis, bear his children, and

help him to become the most powerful Alpha of the circle and of all

wolf packs,” Frederick stated, with such enthusiasm and pride it made

her want to hit him.

“No! I won’t go with you. I am mated to the Valdamar brothers.”

“No need to fret, Sammy. Your men are being eliminated as we

speak. It was a nice bonus that they brought the others along with

them. I can destroy numerous packs by killing their Alphas and taking

over their wolves.” Fidelis began to pull her along with him.

“Head through the basement,” Frederick told them as the sound of

growls and things crashing filled the front entranceway. Her men and

their cousins were fighting to get to her. She felt their anger, their determination to get inside.

“Fidelis is in there! He has her and plans on taking our mate!”

Donny yelled to the others as he and Trey continued to fight off the

attackers.

“There are too many to fight alone. Backup is on the way!”

Dustin growled.

They were all fighting in wolf form, trying to get to Samantha.

Fear clenched their guts at the knowledge that they may not get to

their mate in time.

“I feel her fear. She believes that we are being killed off one by
one.”

“Samantha, we are alive and on our way. Hold tight, baby,”

Adam yelled as he dodged a hit and bit into the throat of one of

Fidelis’s men.

“How can you stand here and let this happen? What kind of a man

are you?” Sam screamed at her father as Fidelis pulled her toward the

wall and a secret doorway.

“You are the whole reason why I married your mother. I wanted

to rule and have it all. Once you are mated to Fidelis, I will have my rightful position by his side.”

“You’re a monster, and I hate you. I will never love this wolf. I

would rather die than be with him.” She screamed as she attempted to

pull from Fidelis’s grasp.

“She is just like her mother. She is feisty and needs to learn her

place.” Fidelis went through the doorway along with Frederick,

pulling Sam along with them.

“What do you know about my mother? I was a small child when

she died.”

Fidelis smirked as they descended the staircase and walked into a

large basement filled with more antiques. She caught sight of Samara,

the smug-looking bitch. It irked Sam to know that that woman was

involved with this as well.

“Is that what Frederick told you?” Fidelis asked as she released

Sam and looked her over as if she were an enticing meal.

Sam looked at her father then back at Fidelis.

“She’s gone, it doesn’t matter,” Frederick replied, but he looked

scared.

Fidelis grabbed a hold of Frederick and held him by his throat.

“Did you think I didn’t know Alexa was still alive? Did you think

you could really fake her death and get away with it?”

Sam stepped back and covered her mouth at the insinuation. One

look at Frederick and she feared the next sentence from his lips.

“What do you care if Alexa lives or dies? You need her daughter,

and I am giving her to you.”

“All ends must be tied, and there can be no exceptions, first you

then Alexa.” Fidelis snapped Frederick’s neck, and she watched as

her father fell to the floor.

Sam screamed then attempted to run. She saw Samara’s face and

the look of hatred that covered her. She struck at Sam with a knife,

and Sam dodged the hit. They circled one another as Sam prepared to

fight for her life. She could do this.

“I need her alive, Samara,” Fidelis stated as Samara lunged again

toward Sam.

“I am better than her. She’s not even a wolf!” Samara ran toward

Sam, kicking and swinging, as Sam amazingly dodged each strike and

retaliated by hitting back.

A punch to Samara’s chin then stomach made Samara begin to

shift.

Sam knew she needed to do something now.

A quick block and she got the knife away from Samara, picked it

up, and was about to strike when she felt the hit to the back of her

neck. The pain radiated through to her shoulders. Samantha fell to the floor then covered the back of her neck as she glanced up toward

Fidelis.

He held a long syringe in his hand then pointed to Samara, telling

her to leave.

She kicked at Sam, causing her to cry out in pain. But instantly

Sam began to feel numb. She was filled with fear as the room spun

and Fidelis lifted her up into his arms.

Help! He stuck me with a needle, and I can’t fight him.

Sam called to her wolves but received no response.

* * * *

Fidelis placed her on the long, solid table.

“You are quite resourceful. Your father has trained you well. You

indeed will make the perfect mate for me.” Fidelis began to tie her

wrists with rope and connect them to hooks on the table. She

attempted to fight him, but her body and mind seemed to move in

slow motion.

She shook her head side to side.

“No! I won’t do this. I will never be yours.”

She watched as he removed his shirt then crawled up on the table

between her legs. Her heart pounded in her chest as the tears flowed

from her eyes.

His hands covered her legs then slowly moved over her skin,

under the material of her dress to her hips. He flipped the material up, revealing her thighs and her covered mound. Leaning down, he

inhaled with his eyes closed.

“Ahhh…you smell amazing.”

He opened his eyes as she attempted to wiggle free from

confinement.

“Except, of course, for that rancid smell of Valdamar.”

“I hate you!” she spit at him. He wiped the saliva from his face

and licked his lips.

“Tasty,” he teased then rubbed the palms of his hands over her

breast. He shocked her as he ripped the material, revealing her lace-

covered bra and abundant amount of flesh.

His eyes glowed black and dark blue as he licked his lips, his

elongated teeth filled with drool as he stared at her flesh.

“I will enjoy tasting every inch of you.” He cupped her breasts,

and she screamed for him to release her.

He struck her face, causing blood to drip from her mouth. The

move stirred her wolf. She closed her eyes, trying hard not to shift or reveal her ability as she called to her mates. She didn’t get an answer.

They weren’t coming, and she wasn’t going to succumb to this

monster.

When his tongue lashed out against her inner thighs, she screamed

again, crying for her mates.

“Where are you?”
Dustin yelled, and she opened her eyes as if her were right here in the room with her.

“Downstairs in the basement. He has me tied up. He ripped my

dress and is determined to mate me.”
She screamed the words and heard her men’s roar. She wasn’t certain if it was in her mind or if

Fidelis heard it as well. When she opened her eyes, he stared at her, wide-eyed and full of concern.

“Your eyes? You are of the wolf?” he asked, and she tried to pull

her arms free.

He looked around, and she knew that he had heard the growls. He

quickly undid his pants and began to strip. Sam felt her incisors

elongate and her wolf begin to surface.

She teetered between succumbing to the tranquilizer, or whatever

drug was in the needle, to giving in to the shift.

“Shift, Sam! You must not let him have you!”
Kyle yelled, and Sam began to shift.

The ties that bound her wrists became shredded material as she

shifted to wolf.

Fidelis did the same and actually stared at her in awe for a

moment before he pounced.

“I can take you in any form. You are lovely in both, and no man

or wolf would resist such sex appeal,” he growled as he rolled her to

her stomach.

She fought as hard as she could and rolled him to his back. They

banged into numerous items around the room, causing a ruckus. The

men would surely know where to find her.

She bit at Fidelis, and he bit back. He was monstrous compared to

her, and she knew she wouldn’t win this fight. She just needed to hold him off until her men got there.

The sound of a door bursting open and numerous growls filled the

basement just as Fidelis rolled Sam to her stomach and mounted her.

He was about to press his cock to her entrance when numerous

wolves attacked, bringing Fidelis to the ground.

She heard his torturous cries of pain as Donny ripped Fidelis’s

throat from his neck and the others continued to demolish him.

Sam panted for air as she slumped to the ground and closed her

eyes.

Sam teetered in and out of consciousness. She was in human form,

was naked when she heard the muffled voices around her. Her men

yelled for something to cover her, and she sensed their cousins in the room.

She felt the warmth and her body being shifted as they dressed her

in something. Instantly, she smelled Dustin. She was wearing his

shirt.

She smiled.

“Dustin,” she whispered.

He cupped her face, and although she couldn’t see straight, she

knew it was him and absorbed his body. She could see the muscles on

his chest and what appeared to be blood.

She reached out, missing him completely and grasping a shirt

instead.

“You’re hurt.”

“No, baby. I’m fine. How are you feeling?” he asked as he

caressed her cheek.

“I can’t see straight. I think it’s from the needle.”

* * * *

Dustin clenched his teeth. He could smell Fidelis all over her, and

he didn’t like where his scent was most prominent. They had nearly

failed their mate.

“You were amazing, Sam. You defended yourself and fought off

an Alpha wolf,” Donny added from beside her.

“Where’s Samara?” she asked.

They all looked at one another.

“She was here?” Trey asked.

“She attacked me with a knife. I was fighting her off until Fidelis

struck me with the syringe. Then he ordered her to leave.”

“Our cousins and the others haven’t seen her,” Adam responded.

“She got away then.”

“We’ll find her, Sam. She won’t be able to hide once we inform

your grandfather and the other elders,” Dustin spoke to her then

pulled her into an embrace.

“Is she okay?” Al asked as he and Ted walked closer.

Dustin had made sure that Ted and Al stayed at a distance until

they could cover Sam up. Their cousins had seen her naked, but they

had been right by their side the entire time.

“Dad?” she called to him, and Dustin and his brothers moved out

of the way so Al could embrace his daughter.

“I was so scared. Thank the gods that you and your mates share

such an intense bond.”

Ted moved next to her, and she grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

“Help me up,” she asked.

“Are you sure you can stand?” Al asked her as he helped her.

“Yes. I have to stand. We have some investigating to do,” Sam

stated.

“Investigating?” Ted asked.

Sam looked at Al and grabbed both his hands. The tears filled her

eyes as she held his gaze.

“My mother, your mate, Alexa, is alive.”

Dustin grabbed a hold of Al as he appeared he might pass out.

“What?” Al asked, and Sam explained about what Fidelis and

Frederick had revealed.

They had looked through papers and files for hours until finally

Dustin demanded that Sam get back to the estate and rest. Her eyes

were nearly closing from exhaustion.

Their cousins Logan and Jake had called over two hours ago and

said that they found Samara. Lord Crespin and the elders would be

dealing with her punishment.

Finally she agreed and left with her mates to go back to the

village. Once she saw her grandparents and explained what had

happened, they called in their enforcers and began to make numerous

arrests and inquiries into Fidelis’s estate as well as into Frederick’s.

* * * *

Sam emerged from the long, hot bubble bath and slowly made her

way to the bedroom. She had been a bit disappointed that none of her

men had joined her. Until she walked into their room.

Trey, Donny, and Kyle lay naked on the bed. Adam and Dustin sat

alongside in the two armchairs looking just as sexy and appealing as

could be.

Her heart hammered in her chest. She loved these men with all her

heart. She felt something extra strong building inside of her, and when she was showering she realized what it was. Although she hadn’t the

time or opportunity to take any kind of test, she knew she was with

child. They had given her the greatest gift of all besides their love.
