All Chapters of THREE BROTHERS! ONE MATE!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ELIJAH'S POVI look down at my ringing phone and see that it's Skyler. Confused as to why she would be ringing me while out on a date with Cole, I answer it.All I hear when I put it to my ear is "Elijah!..." in Skyler's soft voice, which is full of sobs, pain, and terror."Skyler??? Where are you? What happened?" I say into the phone. She didn't answer but I could still hear is her soft crying.I jump off the couch and run to the door yelling "NATHAN! SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO SKYLER! GET DOWN HERE!"  "Cole?? Cole? What's going on?? Cole?? Answer me!!" I growl through our private link but he doesn't answer..."What?, Where? Isn't she with Cole?" Nathan says as he runs down the stairs 2 at a time, meeting me at the door."Yeah, but Skyler just rang me sounding like she is scared and in pain, and I can't reach Cole through the mind-link. He seems to have shut down and blocked everyone out." I tell him as we make our

  ELIJAH'S POV  "I know you want to comfort her, but can you give me a few minutes with her?..."  Katie says with her arms wrapped around Skyler's sobbing form. I look over at Nathan as he does the same. We both nod toward Katie and leave the room. As soon as we are out of the room and the door is closed behind us, I throw my fist into the wall and growl,  "Where is he?... I want to beat the crap out of him...."  "Elijah... Calm down, we don't know for sure that it was him..." Nathan places his hand on my shoulder. I shrug it off as I growl. "How could it not be him? Did you not hear what Doc Issac said?"  "Of course, I heard what he said..."  I interrupt him as Xavier pushes for control. "He said she was marked by force and then raped... How could it not be him?"  I can't stand here any longer. I turn away from him and stalk down the hallway, down the stairs, through the kitchen and

SKYLER'S POV I must have fallen asleep because I am awoken by the door opening and someone entering. I am surprised to see my father's, Beta John. I struggle against the ties on my wrists and try to move away from him as much as possible expecting him to take advantage of where I am and that my hands are tied, but he surprises me, by raising his hands in the surrender position and whispering as he comes closer, "I'm sorry, Skyler..." "But... You??" I look up at him, confused "An act. I have never liked how he treated you after your mother died, but there was no convincing him that it wasn't your fault and that the Rogue that attacked would have done so even if he had been there. He wanted you to replace her a couple of years after she was killed as you were a spitting image of her even then but I managed to convince him to at least wait until you were 18 and then he wouldn't have the elder council on his back for making a minor into a sex slave. Which is what he

COLE'S POV After being too late to help my brothers keep Skyler safe, I was able to give Max the information needed to find and rescue her. I stay nearby to see who they send to go and get her. I smile to myself when I see Alexander exit out of the back of the packhouse, followed by the very best of his high ranked officers.  I follow them to the edge of the border. I may not have my Alpha status anymore, but when I open my pack link, I can still hear everything. I don't do it often and when I do so; I make sure to keep very quiet so that Elijah and Nathan don't know. As I still can't face them. I run the border again, making sure I don't go too far so that I know the exact moment Alexander is successful and come back with Skyler riding his back. This seems strange, as I know she can shift and her wolf is beautiful. Did her father treat her that badly this time that she was too weak to shift and run herself?  I follow them back to the packho

SKYLER'S POV   It's been 6 weeks since the Luna ceremony, Nathan is away on business and I have been busy working with all the women, catching up on all the Luna duties that I missed, after what Cole did, and then being kidnapped back to my old pack.   I walk into the office to give Elijah some paperwork on what was needed in the pack nursery. I put the paperwork on his desk and turned around to leave when he got up from his chair and said,   "Skyler! Do you have a minute?"   "Of course, Eli. What do you need?"   Elijah walked up to me and put his hand on my cheek. He smiled and whispered low,   "Will you have dinn
