Page 25 of Drown My Sorrow

“And you!”

Ezy stares at them. “Because I thought she hurt me first.”

“Truth,” Keagan says, “but I don’t like the answer.”

“Agreed!”

Keagan rips his hair back and puts the bottle to his lips. “Drink, Alpha.”

I bite my bottom lip to stop moaning at the tingle of pleasure the barks give me.

Ezy obeys instantly, his eyes wide and cutting to Kelly, who is finally realising just how fucked he is.

Kelly isn’t strong enough to bark us into anything. And all of our barks can control all three alphas. They are helpless.

“Gael, why do you want her?”

“She’s everything I’ve been looking for forever. I don’t want to leave.” Gael starts crying.

“Perfect,” Shale says and looks at me.

I shrug. “May as well get it over and done with. We can celebrate later.”

Shale straddles Gael so he’s pressed right up against the teary alpha. Shale drags him up by the t-shirt and leans in, mouthing the alpha’s neck.

“You said you wouldn’t do that,” Kelly shouts. “Get off him!”

I turn on Kelly, but he tries to fight, rolling onto his stomach and getting up on his knees. He’s strong, I’ll give him that, but I fight dirty. I slam into him and pin him to the sand. I grab his t-shirt and rip it at the back.

In a way, what we’re going to do is worse than rape.

But I’ll do anything to keep her.

Anything.

I sink my teeth in deep. The bond unfurls inside me. I remove my teeth and put my forearm in front of the shocked alpha.

“Bond me!” My command gives no room for disobedience.

Kelly shudders as his mouth closes over my forearm and his teeth sink deep.

The pain is delicious. I grab his hair and yank his head back, licking his ear.

“Sorry, Alpha Raines, but I’m not letting you walk away from her. It makes her sad.”

I turn around just in time to see Keagan sink his teeth into Ezy’s stomach. The alpha writhes, panic and pain on his face. His lips are bloody, so I know he’s got the first bite.

Shale gets up with a whispered command to Gael so stay. I give up my place on Kelly, and Shale rolls him, glaring down at the alpha who was going to walk away from the most precious woman in creation.

“You made her cry. So many tears. I promised I’d ruin you, Kelly Raines, but, unfortunately for me, fate has different plans.”

Kelly’s eyes are wide with fear.

“Don’t do this.”

“I have to. She needs to heal. And you’re going to help me fix it.”

Shale lunges down and bites. I walk over to Ezy and pull him to his feet.
