The Alpha Who Saved Me

I wake up long before my brothers and Emery. As I near the kitchen on my way to start

some coffee, I can already smell the delicious aroma and know that I’m not the first early

riser of the day. Before I even enter, I know exactly who it is that beat me to the first cup

prison like they did with that Alpha that sat down there for years before he found a way

to off himself. That should have been my mother’s kill, not let him have the coward’s way

“It may be different. Alpha Benjamin was one of us, a shifter, and an Alpha at that. Yes,

he should have been exe- cuted for all the lives that he took in search of your mother,

but the Elder’s thought life in prison would be worse than death. Colin, he isn’t a shifter,

and because he is Ledger’s blood, I’m hoping that they will take his plea into account.”

Spencer squeezes his mate’s hand.
