Beaten. Humiliated. Placed in a house that was her jail cell and left to be crushed under the weight of rejection by a man who was meant to cherish and love her.

Two Alphas struggle to come to terms with their mixed emotions, latent and buried deep beneath years of guilt and pride. One wants a strong female of nobler birth, the other just wants to forget his past and move forward in whatever way he can.

"When will she be awake?"
"Who knows?" Blake shrugged. "With the amount of sedatives they had to give her, it could be hours, maybe even a day, before she finally opens her eyes.
"Liam's eyes widened a trace. "That bad, huh?"
Blake shuddered a bit. "I can still hear her screams. They were terrifying. Like she was being f***ing murdered right there in front of me."
Liam nodded. He had his own demons and nightmares too. But that was then. Years ago. Too, too many. And yet the memories, the dreams, they always felt so fresh, like an open sore that refused to heal.
And the guilt. It ate away at him every day. If only he had known what would happen, had been able to see the trouble brewing. Maybe...just, maybe...
"I'm heading to bed," Liam told his friend and Beta. "I'll keep you posted if I hear anything from Dr. D'Amato."
Blake merely nodded and finished up the last few bites of his sandwich as he stared blankly out the window.
Wondering. He wondered where the female had come from, and thought back to Caleb's rogue wolf. Had that wolf come from the same pack this female had? It would only make sense if that were the case. Not all packs were as peaceful as Plumbrook.
After washing his lone dish and a couple of utensils he had used to make his food, he placed them in the dish drainer and left out the front door the Alpha's home, locking it behind him. Instead of heading off toward his own home to see his mate, Colleen, he headed off toward the trees in search of solitude.
