Liam’s POV Anita! I linked to my Mate, hoping her wolf wouldn’t judge me for not having her Mate around. Get everyone away from me! You’re pinned down, she linked me back, clearly having seen what I’d already figured out. That I was surrounded and the very fact that I wasn’t moving around, was giving the vampires the impression that they somehow were hurting me. I’m coming for you--- Don’t! I immediately warned her back, knowing that she just wanted to be by my side if I needed her. But the fact was that the further away she was, the safer she’d be. And the more of my Beast I could release! But the vampires had already realized and were taking advantage of our short conversation. I could barely see it move, but a vampire moved in front of my Mate, guns pointing at her head. My heart
