He froze.

“Mason, get away!”

Alpha.

Family.

Help.

“Axel, he’s hurt,” Gargoyle said.

“Look in his eyes, Levi,” Alpha ordered. His voice strong. Sure.

Strong alpha.

Lion Logan whined. Hurt!

Need help.

“His lion has taken over. Do not get close to him.” Alpha came closer.

Lion Logan could see his alpha now. He whimpered. Please help. Hurts.

“I know, buddy,” Alpha said. “It’s going to be okay. Don’t move.”

Don’t move. He could do that.

“I need to get close enough to take the trap apart,” Human said.

“No,” Alpha responded without taking his gaze off lion Logan.

He could sense the dragon close.

Love.

Shelter.

Family.

The dragon would watch over them. They were safe now.

“Let me.”

Mate!

Mage!

Magic!

“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Alpha said hesitantly.

Mate! Lion Logan whined louder. Help!

“I can magically remove the trap. He won’t hurt me.” Mate walked closer. He passed the alpha. The human. Came closer. Yes! Help them, mate! Help!

“Dean,” Alpha growled.

Lion Logan lifted his head to growl back at alpha. Mate. Safe. No growling at mate.
