2026-08-18 06:18:48Just past 6:30. The air after the rain carried the damp scent of earth and pine needles, drifting in through the slight gap in the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Darcy stood at the main control panel, the blue glow from the terminal casting a cold sheen across her face. Out of habit, she ran a routine inspection on the territorial internal network before leaving. Her fingers moving lightly across the virtual keyboard, like playing a silent tune.
A faint data disturbance flickered une

Three Billionaire Alphas on Their Knees Chapter 229 Cold Iron and Campfires
The sun had barely brushed the western ridge of bare rock when the sky went dark all at once, and the wind in the valley turned to knives, cutting straight through to the skin.With the bulldozer's last rumbling pass, the seepage pit that had been oozing mud slurry was now a solid, hard-packed platform of dry coal waste and thick pine stakes."Done!" The engineering captain wiped the black mud and sweat off his face and stomped twice on the crushed stone platform. "Solid as rock! Even a fully loaded thirty-ton dump truck won't cave this in!"Silas stood with half a cigarette between his lips, hands in his sheepskin jacket pockets, and kicked the edge of the newly packed platform. He tilted his head toward the convoy and let out a sharp whistle. "Truck three. Reverse. Put a load on it."A heavy truck loaded with coal waste rumbled backward, black smoke pouring out, its thick chains biting hard into the crushed stone. It came to a steady stop at the hopper
Three Billionaire Alphas on Their Knees Chapter 228 Groundwork at the Gulch
After Rowan went into the inner room and the door flap fell shut, only Asher and Darcy were left in the dispatch office.The dark blue ink blot on the corner of the desk hadn't dried yet. The signature on the official paper was crooked, but it stood out sharp against the page.Asher stayed where he was. His long arm reached out, picked up the short-barreled hunting rifle, and set it aside. He didn't bring up what Rowan had said. He just caught Darcy's wrist and pulled her to stand in front of him."You pressed down so hard on that paper. Did you open it up again?"His palm was warm and rough around hers. He felt along her knuckles through the gauze, careful where he pressed."No. Lynch wrapped it tight." Darcy let him hold her hand. Her other hand pulled the folded mine sketch from her waist and dropped it onto his knee. "The new loading yard at West Hollow. We break ground this afternoon."Asher looked down at the creased sketch, his big ha
Three Billionaire Alphas on Their Knees Chapter 227 Put My Name on It
Less than two hours after the gray jeep pulled away, a black sedan with capital authority plates parked outside the mine's sealed iron gate.A clerk in a dark gray wool coat stepped out, a briefcase under his arm. Kingston sentries searched him head to toe, then led him into the dispatch room.The stove was roaring. Asher sat at the head of the long table, coat hanging open, a heavy short-barreled hunting rifle laid across the table beside his hand. His boot heel was hooked on the table leg, and he was running a cloth down the barrel.The clerk came in with his chin up. Then he saw the rifle. He set his briefcase down carefully and waited for Asher to look at him."Alpha Kingston. The man in the suit at the bridge is a new field agent with the capital's Special Investigations Division. He doesn't know the north's rules. He crossed the defense zone and conducted inquiries without authorization. He overstepped into your territory."Asher didn't even

"The gray jeep's parked diagonal from the infirmary side door. Clear view of everyone going up and down the steps."The Blackstone truck driver wiped the frozen sweat off his face, standing at the dispatch room door, still catching his breath."Two men inside, coat collars pulled way up. They're not going in for treatment, not picking up any wounded. Just sitting there burning time. I know the face in the passenger seat. This morning I was eating flatbread at the noodle stand, and the bastard sidled up asking directions, then worked his way around to what time Darcy usually goes in to get her dressings changed."Darcy glanced down at the old wristwatch on her arm.Nine forty in the morning.Any normal day, this was when she'd finish checking the morning shift's weigh tickets and walk through the snow to the infirmary to have the nurse peel off the old gauze and clean the wounds.They had her routine down to the minute.Asher sat on th
Three Billionaire Alphas on Their Knees Chapter 225 Before the Collapse
The guard carried the bagged document back into the dispatch room in two strides. He set it on the desk and stepped back.Asher turned and bolted the door behind him. The killing intent still hadn't drained off him.Darcy pulled a sheet of thick, yellowed drafting paper across the desk and reached for the red pencil in the corner. Before her fingers could close on it, Asher's arm hooked around her from behind and pulled her into his chest.His military coat hung open, his hot, solid chest pressed against the thin line of her back. His other big hand came forward and laid the evidence bag flat on the desk. He pressed his thumb over the crease in the paper through the plastic, holding it still."Hands wrecked like that. What are you writing?" Asher's words came low against the base of her ear, his chest rumbling."Rowan needs to see the document format and the reference number. The original stays sealed." Darcy reached for the pencil with her thickly
Three Billionaire Alphas on Their Knees Chapter 224 The Stamp
A layer of cold sweat seeped down Darcy's back.The other side had timed it too precisely. They knew Northstar's heavy trucks had been sent away. They knew the noon delivery deadline at the smelter was the hard limit. They'd even guessed she'd use the old cliff road, and planted a man at the turnout just before the Kingston checkpoint.They'd been certain she'd be so desperate to save the mine's lifeline that she'd ride with the convoy herself.Asher was leaning over the receiver. He'd heard every word Silas said. His face went dark all at once, and his big hand pressed Darcy into the chair. He turned and shouted toward the door. "Get the signals squad in here!"The squad leader pushed through the door. "Alpha!""West River bridge." Asher grabbed the gun belt off the table and buckled it on, the clasp snapping shut."Black sedan, no front plate. Silas has the rear number. Lock down every side road on both ends of the bridge.
