"We do understand your pain, and our own instincts are tearing us apart from the inside," Rhett interjects with a heavy sigh, and he strokes my damp hair with his free hand. "My fangs ache to claim you again, and my venom burns in my jaw, but I must protect you from my own strength."

His honest confession makes me pause for a brief second, and I look at the dark shadows under his eyes. I see the heavy physical toll the denial takes on his large frame, and I notice the slight tremor in his stron

    Rhett holds Beau's gaze in the rearview mirror of the open door for one final second, making sure the fierce loyalty settles deep into our King's chest.I unbuckle my seatbelt and pull my customized assault rifle onto my lap, but I realize immediately that charging into a massive complex blindly is a terrible idea."Move up on foot and stay hidden in the fog," I tell my brothers, reaching for the thick data cable hanging from my combat vest. "I will follow slowly and run overwatch from the truck."Rhett gives me a single nod before stepping away from the vehicle and melting into the dense morning mist.Beau follows closely behind him, clutching the pistol Rhett gave him with white-knuckled desperation.I reach across the center console and pull the armored door shut, sealing myself inside the dark cabin to set up our mobile operations center.I plug the data cord directly into the primary communication port on the dashboard, linking my digital tablet to the onboard computer system.Th

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   147 - RHETT'S POV

    Dean kills the headlights and the engine cuts to a silent electric idle, allowing us to roll quietly down the cracked pavement toward the coordinates Seth provided.The overwhelming smell of rotting wood and stale copper seeps through the air vents, confirming we are deep inside the forgotten wasteland.The meatpacking district has been abandoned for over a decade, left to rot after the city condemned the old factories.It is a maze of rusted metal and collapsing roofs, making it the perfect place to hide a hostage from the authorities."I am sending the orders to the southern captains this instant," Dean announces, pressing the final button on his encrypted tablet."They will stage the decoy convoy at the edge of the city and push toward the harbor in exactly twenty minutes.""Tell them to make a lot of noise on the open radio frequencies," I advise, wanting to ensure Rossi's surveillance teams intercept the movement."We need the cartel to believe we are truly surrendering, so tell

    I rip the crumpled paper into tiny pieces, dropping the shredded remains onto the floor mat of the SUV.Beau stares at me with wide, tear-filled silver eyes, his chest rising and falling in rapid, erratic gasps.He reaches blindly for the lockbox again, driven by pure terror for his best friend.I gently grab his wrists, holding them firmly against my chest so he cannot reach any more blank contracts."I have to sign it," Beau begs, fighting against my grip with a frantic burst of energy."Daniel is going to freeze to death!""You are not signing anything, because we do not negotiate with cartels," I tell him, keeping my tone incredibly calm to counter his spiraling anxiety."You are acting out of fear, and a terrified Boss always falls into the enemy's trap."Beau stops pulling against my hands, his shoulders slumping in defeat as a fresh sob tears through his throat.I hate seeing my mate in so much pain, but I refuse to let him make a massive mistake that will jeopardize the safety

    I ignore his question and plunge my shaking hand inside the compartment, pulling out a thick manila folder containing our emergency syndicate documents.I flip the folder open on my lap and slide out a stack of blank territory transfer agreements.These are the official underworld contracts used to hand over jurisdiction of our borders to rival factions.If Rossi wants control of our city, I will give him the southern borders to satisfy his greed.I reach back into the lockbox and retrieve my silver fountain pen.It is the same pen my father used to sign the original syndicate treaties, a symbol of royal authority passed down through generations.My fingers are slick with cold sweat, making it incredibly difficult to pull the cap off the smooth metal barrel.I fumble with the object, nearly dropping it onto the floor mat before I manage to get a solid grip."Beau, put the pen down," Rhett rumbles gently, recognizing exactly what I am about to do."I have to fill out the paperwork so I

    "The blood trail turns east, Dean. They are taking him to the abandoned meatpacking district."Seth's grim transmission echoes through the small radio speaker on the dashboard, hanging in the tense silence of the cabin like a death sentence.Dean nods once and spins the steering wheel, merging us off the main highway and onto a cracked, desolate road to follow our enforcer into the industrial slums.I sit frozen in the back seat, staring blankly at the dark leather of the front headrest while the truck crawls forward.The heater blasts warm air against my bare legs, and the rich scent of cedar pheromones fills the cramped space.Rhett is pumping his calming Alpha energy straight into our bond to keep me grounded, but I am still trembling so violently my teeth rattle.Daniel is bleeding out inside a freezing commercial cargo truck just a few miles away.He stepped in front of a sniper bullet meant for my chest yesterday.He shattered his own bones to protect his King, and I repaid his

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   143 - SETH'S POV

    I stop jogging and crouch down low to the ground, sweeping the barrel of my rifle over the faded yellow lines in the center of the road.Small, dark droplets are splattered across the gray pavement, forming a distinct, dotted line leading straight down the highway.I pull my tactical glove off and press my bare index finger directly against one of the dark spots.The liquid is still warm and incredibly sticky to the touch.It is fresh blood.My mind flashes back to the terrible moment Daniel collapsed on the floor of the estate, clutching his ruined shoulder to shield Beau from harm.The brutal mercenaries must have ripped his fragile stitches open when they dragged him out of the crashed transport vehicle.He is actively bleeding out inside the back of that freezing truck, and every drop on this road means his time is running dangerously short.I wipe the warm blood onto the dark fabric of my pants and stand back up, my jaw locking so tight my teeth actually ache.I start moving fast

    The words echo in the large room, and the sheer audacity of Rhett's demand creates a heavy silence across the mahogany table. I rapidly calculate the absolute danger of his ultimatum, yet my body is far more concerned with the sharp, agonizing cramp that suddenly twists through my lower abdomen. I

    The sharp cramp in my lower abdomen forces my eyes open before my morning alarm even has a chance to ring on the nightstand. I groan and press the heel of my right hand directly against my stomach, and I wait for the dull ache to subside, but the pain only radiates further down my thighs. This is t

    Rhett's fingers easily manipulate the remaining buttons on my tailored shirt, and I desperately want to push his hands away to preserve my dignity, but my heavy arms absolutely refuse to lift from my sides. The massive dose of experimental suppressants is currently surging through my bloodstream, a

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   CHAPTER 2 ~ BEAU'S POV

    The silence inside the large conference room becomes completely oppressive after Seth speaks his accusation, and my lead enforcer Daniel immediately shifts his weight defensively beside me. I feel the sudden urge to step backward toward the wooden doors, but I force my leather shoes to remain firml
