“Alpha, this is Alpha Martin…I need the Alpha Mates help with the gods. I need an intercession.”
“An intercession?”
“I spoke with Dr. Coté and he said it may be the only way Kane can mate.”
“Alpha Martin, please begin again, you’ve lost me…”
“I’m in my archives. In my great-grandfather’s time, an Alpha came upon a young wolf, an Omega, from New Orleans, who was repeatedly raped by pirates. They threw him overboard after they finished. He washed up on shore right in front of The Alpha.”
Gabriel continued the story, “He had nowhere to go, the pirates killed his entire family. He was only eighteen, but he was the Alpha’s Mate and the rape affected him.”
“I remember this story. It was my great-grandfather’s Mate, but you knew that when you told me,” Armand said. “I failed you as your Alpha by not having Artis dig deeper into the histories or doing it myself.”
