Tristan! He’s . . . everything to me. We have a bond I’ve had with no other,” Mikal said, unable to keep the pride and love for his family out of his voice and energy.
It was exactly those emotions that convinced Alpha Two that he was telling the truth—that and the hundreds of pictures of him and his family in dozens of different places. Although she was very happy that he’d never had to know the humiliation and pain of being held captive, tortured, and treated like an animal, she was a little jealous that she and her sisters had never been able to know such freedom and joy.
Alpha Two smiled at him briefly.
“I am very happy for you, but I really need to get back in there,” she said as she went to head back inside.
Mikal held his arm out to stop her.
“Wait . . . I’m telling you all of this to convince you to trust me. To trust us. We aren’t from here. The doctor was right about that. My family is special. We have resources, and we can help you get them out of there,” he said, his eyes pleading with her to trust him.
Alpha Two looked at him suspiciously.
“Why? Why would anyone risk themselves for us? Why would you?” she demanded.
Mikal sighed. He understood why she would have problems trusting anyone, but he didn’t have much time to convince her either. If he knew his brothers, they had another five minutes—maybe 10—before the place was swarming in well-meaning siblings. Mikal gently took her hands in his own and opened his energy to her.
“Listen to me. But not just my words, listen to my energy. I would help because you are my people, and I want to learn everything I can about who I am. What I am. I will help your sisters because they are also my people, and from what I can tell, we’re all that there is of us.”
“My family will help because they love me, and that’s what family does. It’s why you’re doing what you are for your sisters—because they’re family. Please, let my family help our family,” Mikal said.
Alpha Two shook her head slightly, overwhelmed by the emotions and feelings that she could feel radiating from Mikal.
“I . . .” Two began when she felt the air above them begin to churn.
Two ducked and started to disappear when Mikal grabbed her arm and held her tight, his energy somehow preventing her from dissolving into the air. She looked at him with fear-filled eyes.
Mikal shook his head at her.
“Stop! Don’t be afraid. It’s my family. They’re here to help,” he said, sending her calming energy as his brothers began dropping into the clearing from the now uncloaked ship above them.
Chris was the first with boots on the ground, and he ran over to Mikal and the strange female. Without a second thought he grabbed Mikal into a hug.
“Brother!” Chris said.
Two stared in amazement as the people in Mikal’s pictures began dropping from the ship above them, filling up the small clearing. She was getting ready to try and slip into the cabin when a woman with long chestnut hair grabbed her into a hug.
Angel squeezed Two then pulled away, looking, for once, eye to eye with another female. It was rare for Angel to meet another woman as tall as her six-foot self.
“I am so glad he found you! What is your name? In case he didn’t tell you, I’m his sister, Angel. This is my mate, Drago . . .” Angel said, her smile and happiness for her brother pouring from her.
Two was beyond overwhelmed. It was hard not to be when the quiet of the clearing was now alive with voices and a happiness throbbing among Mikal’s family that couldn’t be faked—or ignored.
Without meaning to, Alpha Two found herself caught up in the teasing and easy camaraderie she felt and heard among the strange family. Only a few of them actually looked like they could be related, but Two could tell from their energy that none of them actually were.
It didn’t seem to matter to any of them though, the love and affection Two felt was stronger than anything she’d ever felt
