The Alpha’s Second Life 69
"Don't stop the car."My voice sounded like it belonged to a dead man. I gripped the door handle of the SUV as the tires screamed against the mountain asphalt. The Harrington Estate was a memory in the rearview, probably crawling with DIR agents and fed-contracted wolves by now."We’re clear for another three miles, Richard," Silas said from the driver’s seat. His knuckles were white. "But the grid is hot. They’re tracking the heat signatures from the mercury-shift.""Forget the grid." Richard reached across the console, his hand heavy and warm on my thigh. "We’re going to the North Ridge. The Ancient Den. It’s off the maps. Even the Council hasn't been there in fifty years.""That’s suicide," Silas muttered. He swerved to avoid a fallen branch. "The Ridge is a graveyard. No cell service, no backup, and the local packs there are feral.""They won't touch us." Richard looked at me. His amber eyes were dark, reflecting the dashboard’s red glow. "They’ll smell the miracle. They won't hav

"Move! The seals are blowing!"The emergency sirens didn't just scream; they vibrated through my teeth. Richard’s arm hooked under my knees, hauling me up against his chest. I felt the wet heat of his skin against my face, smelling like salt and the metallic tang of his mercury blood. Behind us, the facility groaned. A deep, tectonic sound. The ocean was claiming its due."Don't leave them!" I grabbed Richard’s shoulder, my fingers digging into his muscle. "The others! Look!""I have them, Joshua. Just breathe."Behind us, the liberated Omegas moved like a pack of ghosts. They were pale, shivering in their thin hospital gowns, their feet splashing through the six inches of rising water. They didn't run. They followed Richard. He was the sun in their dark world, the only thing keeping the ceiling from crushing us all."The airlock is jammed!" Silas screamed from the end of the hall. He was kicking at the heavy steel door. "Richard, we’re trapped!""Move aside."Richard didn't slow down
The Alpha’s Second Life 67
"Dive! Now!"Richard didn't wait for the boat to slow. He launched himself from the deck of the Black Obsidian. The night air was a freezing slap against his bare chest, but his blood was boiling, thick with the silver poison he’d injected. He shifted mid-flight. Bones snapped and reformed with a sound like dry branches breaking in a storm. By the time he hit the Atlantic, he was a six-hundred-pound engine of fur and fury.The water exploded.Richard kicked his back legs, driving himself deeper. The pressure squeezed his lungs, but he didn't care. He could taste Joshua in the water—salt, mercury, and the sharp, metallic tang of fear."Target in the water!" A voice crackled through the sonar. "Three o'clock! Fire the harpoons!"A silver streak hissed through the dark. Whirr. It caught Richard in the thigh. He didn't howl. He couldn't. He just felt the cold burn of the silver spreading through his muscle. He grabbed the shaft with his teeth and ripped it out. A cloud of dark red blossom

"He’s flatlining. Get the paddles!"The shout echoed through the sterile, silver-mesh walls of my cage. My head lolled. My chin hit my chest. Sweat dripped from my nose, stinging the raw burns on my neck. I wasn't flatlining. I was holding my breath, slowing my pulse to a crawl, and watching the monitor through slitted eyes."Hormone levels are off the charts, Elias." A guard in a tactical vest leaned over the console. His mask muffled his voice. "Prolactin is spiking. Estrogen is... it’s 400 percent above baseline. The subject is malfunctioning. His heart can't take the mercury shift and the surge.""He’s not malfunctioning." Elias stepped into my line of vision. He didn't look worried. He looked fascinated. Like a kid watching an ant under a magnifying glass. "He’s adapting. The 'Hibernating Wolf' isn't just awake. It's defending something. Open the cage. I need a direct draw of his spinal fluid.""Sir, the Alpha’s father just tripped the perimeter—""I don't care about the old man!
The Alpha’s Second Life 65
"It’s time."Danielle Brooks didn't wait for a reply. She slammed the encrypted laptop shut and looked at the three women standing in her kitchen. One was a head nurse at the Harrington infirmary. One was a high-end caterer for the Council’s gala circuit. The third was the woman who cleaned the federal offices at the DIR."Time for what?" the nurse asked. Her hands shook. She gripped her coffee mug like a lifeline. "The humans have him. They have the Alpha’s mate. If we move, they’ll kill us all.""They’re already killing us." Danielle leaned over the island, her knuckles white. "Joshua didn't build this network for a rainy day. He built it for a hurricane. The Shadow Network is active. Every domestic, every assistant, every nurse who’s ever taken a paycheck from an Alpha or a fed—tell them. If they have a file, leak it. If they have a passcode, burn it. I want the city’s servers screaming by midnight.""What about the location?" the cleaning lady whispered. She reached into her apron
The Alpha’s Second Life 64
"He's gone, Richard."The porcelain vase hit the wall. It didn't just break. It disintegrated. White shards peppered the Persian rug like hail. Richard didn't even look at the mess. He stood in the center of the study, his chest expanding so far his shirt buttons strained. The air in the room was thick. Heavy. It tasted like ozone and unspent lightning."Don't tell me he's gone." Richard turned on Silas. His eyes weren't gold anymore. They were the color of a dying sun. A deep, bruised amber that promised a slow death. "I can't hear him. The bond. It’s... it’s silent.""The humans have jamming tech, Alpha. We knew this." Silas stepped back. He was a Beta, but even he was sweating. His pulse was a frantic drumming in his neck. "They took him to Sector 4. It’s a dead zone. No signals in, no signals out.""I am not a signal!" Richard roared. The mahogany desk under his palms groaned. A hairline fracture spidered across the wood. "I am his mate! My blood is in his veins! He is carrying ou
