LOGINI step back from the stone railing and walk toward the mansion because I know we do not have a single second to waste if we want to save our loyal workers from this brutal mutiny.Rhett, Seth, and Dean follow me with their weapons held low, and the four of us move with a silent focus that would make any sane man run for his life.We reach the subterranean armory located underneath the estate, and I pull the heavy sliding door open to reveal rows of dark metal lockers filled with advanced combat gear.I walk over to my assigned station and grab a matte black magazine from the shelf, and I carefully load each specialized armor-piercing round into the steel clip with a rhythmic, satisfying click."D-do you really think we can retake the docks without losing more of our men tonight, Boss?" Daniel asks from the doorway, and the young hacker watches me arm myself with a nervous look in his eyes."We are going to take those docks back, Daniel, and I do not care how many of those traitors hav
"We need to call them on the radio and demand their surrender, because I will not let them tear this family apart for petty politics," I declare with a furious growl, and I hand my heavy radio to my mate so he can address the traitors.Beau presses the transmit button and speaks into the microphone with the same terrifying authority he used inside the dining room just a few minutes ago."This is your King speaking, and I am ordering the Southside lieutenants at the western docks to stand down and drop your weapons immediately," Beau commands over the open frequency.We stand in the quiet garden and wait for a response, but the radio only crackles with a long and agonizing stretch of empty static.Beau presses the button again and repeats his strict orders, but the rebel soldiers simply refuse to answer his direct calls and reject his authority.The heavy glass doors swing open again, and Seth and Dean come rushing out onto the stone patio with their weapons drawn and ready for a bruta
I stand near the heavy wooden doors of the formal dining room to oversee the cleanup crew, and I watch the nervous guards scrub the dark stains out of the expensive Persian rug.The metallic smell of spilled blood still hangs thick in the stale air, and the copper scent serves as a brutal reminder of the absolute power my beautiful mate holds over this unified empire.I never expected my sweet submissive to grab a steel steak knife and pin a dangerous lieutenant to a mahogany table, but his ruthless actions tonight proved he is a true mafia King.He refused to let anyone view him as a fragile victim, and he secured his lethal reputation without asking his Alphas to fight his battles for him.I feel a massive swell of dark pride expanding in my chest, and I know the rest of the syndicate will never dare to question the Triad bond again after witnessing such a violent display of dominance.My inner wolf hums with deep satisfaction, but my peaceful mood shatters into a million pieces whe
I walk out of the bloody dining room and head down the quiet hallway toward the back of the massive mansion, and I enjoy the deep silence of the house after such a chaotic and violent evening.The polished hardwood floors gleam under the warm light of the crystal sconces on the walls, and I finally feel like I belong in this luxurious estate instead of just surviving inside it.I reach the end of the corridor and push the heavy glass doors open to step out onto the dark stone patio, and the beautiful garden stretches out before me under a canopy of bright stars.The cool night air washes over my flushed face and instantly soothes my frayed nerves, and I take a deep breath of the crisp wind to replace the awful smell of violence trapped in my lungs.I walk down the stone steps and spot a familiar figure leaning against the tall brick railing near the edge of the manicured lawn, and the faint orange glow of a lit cigarette illuminates the young man's pale face.Daniel exhales a thick cl
Dean twists the sharp steel blade just enough to make the metal scrape against the fractured bones inside the traitor's hand, and the sudden movement forces another blinding scream to rip from Thomas's raw throat.The terrible sound echoes off the high walls of the formal dining room, and the remaining lieutenants flinch in unison because they know they are watching their new King establish absolute dominance over the unified syndicate.I look around the quiet room and make deliberate eye contact with every single man standing near the long mahogany table, and I want them to remember this bloody lesson for the rest of their miserable lives."This formal dinner is officially over, so you will all return to your barracks and prepare your men for a massive cartel attack," I command the frightened crowd with a cold and steady voice that leaves zero room for debate."We will defend this territory together as a united family, and anyone who questions the Triad bond again will end up screami
Seth's feral roar shakes the crystal chandeliers above the long mahogany table, and the deafening sound forces the treacherous loyalists to freeze in their tracks.The scarred enforcer slowly pulls his empty hand away from his tailored jacket, and he raises both of his palms into the air to show he is surrendering to my brother's lethal command.His two friends immediately copy his fearful gesture and step back from their chairs, because they know Seth will gladly put a massive bullet in their skulls if they try to draw their guns.Raw violence is an excellent tool for pausing a sudden mutiny, but my logical mind knows that undeniable facts will destroy this stupid rebellion forever.I need to resolve the political fallout right now before these terrified men start shooting out of pure panic, so I lower the barrel of my black assault rifle to point at the hardwood floor."Keep your weapons drawn and watch the doors, because I am going to show these idiots exactly who they are trying t
I carefully rest the bottom of the cold glass against my thigh so I do not accidentally spill the water onto the plush beige carpet, and I lean my weight further into the solid, comforting heat of Seth's broad chest. Seth maintains his firm grip around my shoulders, and he slowly rubs his thumb aga
The heavy weight of Seth's muscular body presses firmly against my chest, and I blindly attempt to push him away, but my wrists are securely trapped beneath his large hands. Dean leans forward and places his palms heavily on my bare shoulders to keep me completely flat against the mattress, and his
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
The heavy wood of the oak door vibrates against my back as Rhett hits his fist against the solid frame, and the loud noise echoes terribly inside my ears. I am trapped on the carpeted floor with agonizing cramps developing severely in my abdomen, and the distinct scent of my own slick is rapidly fi
