help." 
     
    "We've got your back.  Lead on."   Ethan replied instantly as Rory nodded.
     
    Nathan?
     
    Chills fluttered down his spine as he heard his mate's weak, defeated voice in his head. 
     
    Please come to me, Nathan.  I need you.  
     
    "I'm coming, love.  Are you at the mating grounds?,"  his heart racing, he spoke aloud.   His brothers waited tensely as he spoke to his mate.  Regan looked perplexed. 
     
    Yes. I can't fight, Nathan.  I'm drugged.  I can't wake up.  Every time I start to wake, they hit me with more drugs.
     
    His heart flip flopped as rage infused him.  He forced his voice to gentle.  "Don't fight it, sweetheart.  Don't make them drug you anymore.  If you wake, pretend to sleep.  We will be there soon."
     
    Please hurry.  They are choosing my mate even now.   
     
    Over his dead body.  No one touched his mate.  He didn't know her exact location so he started to follow her essence, his brothers Ethan and Rory close on his heels.  They moved through the night in a blur, Nathan tracking Sasha like a desperate man...which he was. 
     
    "Did they hurt you sweetheart?"  He dreaded the answer, but he had to keep her from slipping out of his mind and back into a normal sleep.  He had to keep the connection open.  She was calling him to her and they could connect right now even though she slept. 
     
    I'm okay, Nathan.  I just need you.
     
    The bastards had hurt her.  If they hadn't, she would have told him so.  Fuck!  His heart hammered in his ears as violence and wrath flooded through him.  "I'm here, love.  I just arrived." 
     
    I love you, Nathan.  Her soft sigh washed over him.  Please don't kill anyone.  My parents are there.  And my kin. 
     
    His mind was reeling from her declaration and it took a while for her request to register.  "You're asking a lot of me, love.  I want to nail every one of them that took part in your kidnapping." 
     
    Please, Nathan.
     
    Her voice was weak and pleading.  He could deny her nothing.  "Only because I love you, Sasha.  If I loved you less they would all be toast." 
     
    As Nathan and his brothers broke into a clearing and he saw his beloved chained naked to a post, her face and body littered with bruises, he almost took back his words.  Fuck!  He wanted to dust every one of them...painfully.
     
    Ethan grasped Nathan's shoulder as he spoke, "Take care of your mate.  Rory and I will handle the others."
     
    Six mages sat around a small table only feet from Sasha arguing over how they would rid her body of her vampire mark.  Even though he wanted to gut every one of them, his heart was crying out for him to go to his mate.  "She wants them alive.  They are her parents and kin,"  he muttered to his brothers. 
     
    Ethan's face crumpled.  "Damn.  She takes all of the fun out of revenge."  He brightened.  "But she didn't say we couldn't rough them up?" 
     
    Rory and Ethan both looked at him expectantly with an evil look on their faces.  "She just said don't kill them."
     
    "Right.  We'll leave them breathing.  Barely."  His brothers strode toward the council as Nathan arrived beside Sasha.
     
    He didn't give his brothers another thought.  They would have no problem taking care of six mages.  They were no match for the power of two vampires. 
     
    He ripped off the chains that kept her upright and manufactured a blanket to wrap her nude body.
     
    Christ!  And they call us vampires barbarians!   A vampire would never do something like this to a woman. 
     
    He picked her up gently.  "Sasha?" 
     
    Her head slumped against his chest and she didn't answer.  She had fallen back into a drug induced sleep.  His face was stormy as he glared at her family.  He wasn't sure which two were her parents, but he really didn't care.  He hated every one of them. 
     
    Their faces were all filled with fear as Rory and Ethan descended on them.  Nathan got a twisted sense of delight knowing they
