Trapped Between Two Alphas by Sam Crescent Page A

you and Kris
were born, on the same day a witch passing through foretold of your mate. She
said she’d be sick, and you boys would have to make a choice. You were both
your worst enemy. The witch said a woman would come who would have innocence
and the scent of death surrounding her. You were both going to rekindle your
friendship with her arrival.”
    Matt’s father cupped her cheek. “You’re
a beautiful woman, and I feel blessed to have you as a daughter. I give you to
my son willingly.”
    He leaned down and kissed her lips.
“You are strong enough to help my son to lead this back.”
    Tears filled her eyes, and then
Kris’s father turned to her. “It gives me great pleasure to give you to my son.
Kris needs a strong woman to keep him in line. I see the love among you all,
and it fills my heart with great joy. I hope to hear many great things about
our packs.”
    She was kissed by their mothers, and
then her parents thanked her men for protecting her.
    “She was an amazing daughter. It
destroyed us when we heard she was sick. Your claiming has been the best thing
to happen to her. I give my daughter to both of you.”
    Cynthia was handed to Kris and Matt.
    “From this day forward your packs
will be united as one. Vow to protect their lives and each other.”
    Holding their hands Cynthia felt a
place for herself. She’d do everything to protect her men and the men who were
now her responsibility.
    Their parents held hands and chanted
some incomprehensible words, and then there was a burst of light.

    Cynthia
woke between two hard male bodies. She gasped as the dream came back to her.
    “It
was good to see Mom and Dad again,” Matt said, cupping her cheek and laying a
kiss to her lips.
    “I’ve
missed them. They never told us of a visit from our deceased family when they
were telling me about the mating procedure,” Kris rubbed sleep from his eyes
sitting up.
    She
closed her eyes smiling. Her parents had looked so happy. “That was amazing.”
Her last memory of them would be in those moments.
    Matt
smiled down at her, and then Kris did the same. “You look so beautiful.” They
spoke the words together, making her smile.
    “I
like these,” she said, grabbing her breasts.
    They
chuckled.
    “So,
what happened to me?”
    Kris
glanced at Matt then down at her.
    “You
were sick.”
    “I
had leukaemia. Does that mean I don’t have it now?”
    Matt
stroked her hair. “You were sick. The scent of death was stronger than ever
before. We were waiting for the full moon to change you. The power of the full
moon would have helped us. Without it you were at risk.”
    “What
do you mean?”
    “There
are no known female wolves because of the pain during the transition. The body
goes through a lot of changes.” Kris took over explaining.
    She
remembered the sound of her bones breaking. The sounds echoed through her mind
making her shiver with revulsion.
    “ Wow, that was gross.”
    “You
remember what happened?” Matt asked.
    “Yes.
It was gross and disgusting. My bones were literally breaking and then moving
back together. How can you not be disgusted?”
    They
chuckled. “We risked a great deal turning you, but you wouldn’t have survived
the day. You couldn’t smell the death clawing away at you. It was like a
different being was in control. None of us could allow that to happen.”
    “I
can understand that even though I find it a little bit scary. You risked
killing me trying to bring me back to health.”
    Kris
ran his palm over her stomach and up to cup her breast.
    “Can
you blame us? You’re our mate, and we’ll do everything to keep you.”
    She
felt the connection she had with the two men.
    “What
happens now?” she asked.
    “We
need to finish the mating ceremony,” Matt said.
    Glancing
between the two there was something they weren’t telling her.
    “I’m
guessing the ceremony isn’t an exchange of rings?”
    Kris
shook his head. “With other pack members it is merely a joining
