All Chapters of Three Billionaire Alphas on Their Knees: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

When Darcy woke, the other side of the bed was already empty.The sheets still held Asher's familiar fir scent and the lingering warmth of his body.Sunlight cut through the gap in the thick linen curtains and laid a bright gold stripe across the rug. The clock on the nightstand read five past eleven.She hadn't woken at this hour in a long time.Her right shoulder didn't ache. The bite mark on her neck sat quiet under the skin, warm and settled.She rolled over. A delayed soreness spread through her waist and hips. Asher had kept her up far too long last night. The inside of her thighs and her lower back still carried a tight

The wind on the terrace had turned cool.Asher kept one arm around Darcy's waist and reached for his radio with the other, pressing the talk button. "Hyde, check the third bend on the south slope."Static crackled. Hyde answered. "Copy."Darcy stayed in the lounge chair, half a slice of apple pie still in her hand.Less than five minutes later, Hyde's voice came back over the radio.

The room was too loud.Darcy lay flat on her back in the master bedroom, staring at the beam across the ceiling.The windows were shut tight, but the noise still pushed its way into her ears.Hyde's heavy boots in the first-floor corridor as the patrols changed shifts. Water rushing down the pipes inside the outer wall. Even through two walls at the back of the house, the harsh panting of the patrol dogs in their pen was as clear as if they were breathing right beside her.Today at the quarry, her wolf had broken through her skin on its own for the first time.The claws and silver fur had retracted now.

Rowan tapped the paper. "By the rules, after a first failed shift, there had to be a second examination six months later, witnessed by three senior physicians. But Garrick signed it alone. No one ever examined you again."Darcy's fingertip pressed the page. "What does that mean?""Once I file this, the Council can no longer treat that ruling as final." Rowan watched her eyes, his voice softening. "But I need to be clear with you first. If you want to overturn it, those old men won't admit fault quietly. They'll drag you back and do what they did before. Lay you on a cold steel table, draw blood, check your

The master bedroom door locked.The wall lamp cast a dim yellow glow. The only other sound was the low hum of warm air from the central heating.Asher locked the door behind him and crossed to the bed in long strides.He didn't turn on the overhead light. He kept only the faint yellow of the wall lamp, knelt on one knee at the edge of the bed, and caught Darcy's hand where it hung at her side."Try to pull it back."
