Page 128 of Psycho Alphas: Part One

“Sounds like your old man deserved it,” he murmured.

I nodded.

I remember how he’d begged me to spare him, his voice cracked with fear. But he’d known Dan and his pack, he’d admitted that. He’d known where he was sending me.

“What about other family, any siblings?” Rogue asked.

“I… do.” I winced. I didn’t really want to tell him about the stupid brothers I’d grown up with. Brayden, Porter, and Caleb had thought I was strange and stupid and tried to pretend we weren’t related in school. I doubt they’d blinked when I vanished.

But I’d found better family since then.

“Best sister in the whole wide world, and…” I trailed off, a little twist of sadness in my chest as I realised that was it. But then I felt a smile spread on my lips. “AndI have three big brothers who are super protective and smart.” Well.

Kind of.

But Glade had said we were twins, so her Alphas were like my brother-in-laws, right?

Even if they didn’t really know me.

ButIknew each of them by name, Kyan, Zed, and Knight—if only because I’d hugged Bunny close some nights with whispered pleas for them to appear and steal Glade so Ace would be mine.

And those prayers had come true in the end.

One of her Alphas had even been there the day she’d given me the best gift in the whole wide world.

Kyan Quinn Beaumont hadhelpedwith that.

Yup, Bunny—I’m pretty sure that’s what big brothers are supposed to really be like.

I paused, eyes going wide as I looked back to Rogue. “Wait! I could try and call them—they could bust you out of here?—”

“I don’t think you want them involved with Knox.”

“Knox’ll be a piece of cake after—” I cut off, clamping my hand over my mouth. “After stuff,” I mumbled through it. Ace was still all mine, and I didn’t want to share too much.

“Nah. I don’t want you bringing your family into this, alright?”

I pouted. “Okay…”

Still, I should figure out how to get a hold of them if I needed to.

After the Brotherhood had fallen along with Ace, it had been hard to shake Kyan’s tail. Not that Iwantedto (I knew he was just trying to make sure I was safe for Glade) but I’d needed a fresh start with uh… with what I had left.

Besides, I’d always planned on letting Glade and her pack know I was safe once I’d got all my bunnies in a row.

And weweregetting there.

“What about you?” I asked Rogue.

“Nah. No siblings. Parents are dead—and good riddance. Spent my life trying to stay as far as I could from my family’s legacy.”

“Did you?”

“Nope.” Rogue snorted, tapping my arm with his finger. “Come on. You’ll get a pressure sore if you sleep down here.”

“But I wanna stay.”

“It’s cold and uncomfy, and I’m not too proud to admit I don’t love you seeing me like this.”
