The helicopter lifts off the ground, tilting sharply as it cuts through the sky toward the southern border.I stare out the window, watching the sprawling cityscape fall away beneath us.The concrete towers and busy highways eventually give way to miles of empty, sun-baked desert.I rest the suppressed rifle across my knees, running my thumb over the safety switch.My mind wanders back to the clinic last night, remembering the sheer, breathtaking shock of discovering the pregnancy.Beau is carrying my child.He is trusting me to protect him, and he is trusting me to keep our future safe.Mateo Rossi crossed a line that can never be uncrossed, and his blood is going to soak the desert sand today."Approaching the drop zone," the pilot warns over the radio, pulling the helicopter into a steep descent."We are landing two miles out to avoid their noise sensors."The chopper touches down in a dry riverbed, kicking up a massive cloud of yellow dust.I unbuckle my harness and slide the side

"Dean!"Seth’s raw, terrified shout tears through the quiet silence of the estate.I drop my tablet onto the desk and sprint out of my office without a second thought.My boots hit the hardwood floor, echoing loudly as I take the sharp corner toward the master suite.Seth never yells like that unless someone is bleeding, and we have not seen a drop of blood inside these walls for seven months.I shove the door open and freeze just inside the bedroom.The bedside lamps cast a warm, amber glow over the tangled silk sheets.Seth is kneeling on the edge of the mattress, his hands hovering uselessly over Beau.Rhett is already out of bed, pulling a pair of dark sweatpants on with frantic, jerky movements."His water broke," Seth chokes out, looking at me with wild, panicked eyes. "It is three weeks early, Dean."Beau lets out a sharp, breathless groan and curls tightly onto his side.He grips his rounded stomach, his knuckles turning white as a sudden contraction rips through his body.Pur

"What do you mean the scar tissue is restricting the canal?" Seth demands, his voice cracking as he grips the metal rail of the examination table."The street-level suppressants caused deep chemical burns along the lower lining," Dr. Evans explains, typing frantically on the console to adjust the ultrasound view. "The damaged tissue healed into a rigid, unyielding wall over the last ten years, and it is acting like a barricade.""Then cut him open," Dean shouts, losing his flawless logic as he drops my hand to grab the doctor's shoulder. "Prep the surgical tools and do a C-section right now.""We do not have time for surgery because her heart rate is falling too fast," the doctor fires back, shaking Dean's hand off so he can grab a pair of sterile scissors. "He has to push her past the blockage right this second, or the lack of oxygen will kill her before I can make an incision."The terrifying reality of those words crashes over me, stealing the breath right out of my lungs.A massiv

"Just give me one second to swaddle him, Boss," Dr. Evans replies, turning back to the metal warming tray.The doctor wraps the screaming newborn in a dark, soft blanket, tucking the tiny arms securely against the baby's chest.The tight wrapping immediately soothes the infant.The loud cries taper off into soft, tired whimpers, echoing quietly through the peaceful room.I watch the doctor lift the swaddled bundle from the tray, expecting him to walk directly over to the examination bed.Seth is still trembling on the stool, way too unsteady to safely hold a fragile newborn.Rhett is currently acting as a structural support column for Beau, keeping our exhausted King upright and grounded so he does not pass out.Dr. Evans turns around and looks directly at me.He steps toward my side of the room, holding the dark blanket out."Support the head and the neck, Dean," the doctor instructs softly.I freeze in my tracks.I calculate massive risks for a living, and I manage billions of dolla

We instituted a strict medical lockdown for the entire inner circle, refusing to let anyone near the newborn until Dr. Evans cleared them of all potential illnesses.Daniel spent the last week running the cybersecurity division from a guest room on the opposite side of the estate.The heavy door swings open, and the hacker steps tentatively into the master suite.Daniel is wearing clean jeans and a plain black t-shirt, looking exactly like he usually does, but his posture is incredibly stiff.He stops just inside the doorway, his dark eyes sweeping over the massive bed, the medical equipment tucked in the corner, and the armed Alphas guarding the room."Hey," Daniel says quietly, keeping his hands stuffed deep into his pockets."Come in, Daniel," Beau smiles, his face lighting up at the sight of his best friend. "You do not have to stand all the way over there."Daniel takes a few slow steps forward, his gaze drifting from Beau to the small bundle resting in my arms.The brilliant hac
