Shadows of Betrayal - Mriana Williams

These are the deleted opening scenes to Eternal Spirit Bond. They carry a trigger warning for readers. The seven chapters, with the last two overlapping with first couple chapters Eternal Spirit Bond, contain domestic violence and might not be appropriate for some readers. Because of that, they were edited out of the Eternal Spirit Bond. This is for those who wish to read the deleted scenes and understand the level of violence.

A Deaf telepathic Ianni woman flees her abusive Terran husband, who is possessed and controlled by enemy forces. She escapes her husband, with her younger sister, two daughters, and several injuries, hours before ANI kidnaps her from her brother-in-law's ship, as the Imperium War rages in the Interplanetary Alliance sector.

Just what happened that caused two women and two little girls to run to their sister and brother-in-law's ship? Why does an ultra-powerful species kidnap the Deaf Ianni ascending matriarch, placing her on an ally ship in Deep Space? Why didn't the captain of the Knarr stop her husband before it became serious? What happened on Rhett's ship shortly after ANI took Rhianna?
