The sound of Dean reading the medical label completely freezes the heavy air inside the spacious bathroom, and the continuous rush of the freezing shower water is the only noise breaking the sudden silence. I stand directly beside the open glass door of the enclosure, and I stare at the small amber bottle resting securely in Dean's pale hand while my mind rapidly processes the impossible information. Beau is the deeply feared and ruthless boss of the Southside Syndicate, and he possesses the br

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   143 - SETH'S POV

    I stop jogging and crouch down low to the ground, sweeping the barrel of my rifle over the faded yellow lines in the center of the road.Small, dark droplets are splattered across the gray pavement, forming a distinct, dotted line leading straight down the highway.I pull my tactical glove off and press my bare index finger directly against one of the dark spots.The liquid is still warm and incredibly sticky to the touch.It is fresh blood.My mind flashes back to the terrible moment Daniel collapsed on the floor of the estate, clutching his ruined shoulder to shield Beau from harm.The brutal mercenaries must have ripped his fragile stitches open when they dragged him out of the crashed transport vehicle.He is actively bleeding out inside the back of that freezing truck, and every drop on this road means his time is running dangerously short.I wipe the warm blood onto the dark fabric of my pants and stand back up, my jaw locking so tight my teeth actually ache.I start moving fast

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   142 - SETH'S POV

    Dean's calm, calculating voice delivers the horrifying truth, and the words hit me like a solid punch to the jaw.I stare at the deep grooves pressed into the wet mud, and a massive surge of violent, protective rage erupts straight from the core of my chest.Daniel took a bullet for our pack yesterday.He threw himself directly into the line of fire to save our sweet King from a cartel sniper, taking a brutal hit that was meant for Beau.His reward for that ultimate loyalty is a shattered collarbone, a chest full of fragile stitches, and a massive dose of heavy painkillers.Now Vincent Rossi has shoved our wounded hacker into the back of a freezing cargo truck, trapping him in a confined space with a deadly chemical weapon.My inner wolf claws desperately against my ribs, demanding blood for this terrible insult to our family.I do not waste time discussing the political implications of this discovery with my brothers.I reach down and grab my heavy assault rifle off the shoulder of t

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   141 - DEAN'S POV

    I move past the main wreckage, leaving the noise of the popping metal behind me as I head toward the dark shoulder of the mountain pass.The asphalt slowly gives way to soft, wet mud and tall winter grass.If the cartel took Daniel alive, they had to transfer him into a secondary transport vehicle waiting just outside the immediate line of fire.They would not drag him all the way down the highway on foot, because they needed to clear the area before our reinforcements arrived.I walk slowly along the edge of the road, looking for the exact spot where they pulled our hacker out of the crossfire.The wet gravel shifts under my boots as I search for any sign of a struggle.I spot a distinct set of scuff marks cutting through the dirt, leading directly away from the shattered passenger door of the flipped SUV.Daniel did not walk away from this crash on his own.The toes of his shoes dragged through the mud, leaving twin parallel lines in the soft earth.He was either unconscious from th

    Seth does not say a single word in response to our Boss.He just shifts his heavy boot off the gas and slams it down hard on the brake pedal.The massive anti-lock brakes stutter against the wet asphalt, sending a harsh shudder straight through the heavy frame of the SUV.Seth throws the steering wheel sharply to the left, using the sudden loss of momentum to spin us right back around on the narrow mountain pass.He hits the gas again, and we speed back toward the towering column of black smoke rising above the tree line.I sit quietly in the passenger seat and tune out the soft crying coming from the back row.Beau is falling apart in Rhett's arms, but I cannot afford to let my own emotions cloud my judgment right now.Panic and grief are useless variables in this equation, so I need to focus on hard facts if we are going to figure out where the cartel took our hacker.I reach into the deep utility pockets of my combat vest and pull out my high-powered tactical flashlight.I tap the

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   139 - RHETT'S POV

    Beau's fingers twist viciously into his own dark hair, pulling so hard I can see his pale knuckles turning stark white in the dim lighting of the truck.I refuse to sit back and watch my mate drown in this feral panic while his guilt eats him alive.I shift my heavy weight across the wide leather seat, moving fast to close the distance between us before he can rip his own hair out by the roots.I grab his shaking wrists with my large hands, wrapping my thick fingers securely around his delicate bones.I pry his hands away from his head, and I forcefully pull his trembling body flush against my chest.His face smashes against the thick nylon straps and hard ceramic plates of my Kevlar vest, but I do not loosen my grip for a single second."Let me go, Rhett, I need to call the lawyers to draft the transfer!" Beau screams, thrashing wildly against my firm hold.He kicks his bare, bleeding feet against the floorboard of the SUV, driven by pure, unfiltered terror for his best friend.I wra

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   138 - BEAU'S POV

    Rhett shifts his weight on the gravel and looks down at me, his dark eyes flashing with a sudden, protective Alpha intensity."We cannot just hand over the most valuable smuggling route in the city without a fight, Beau," Rhett says gently, trying to introduce cold logic into my feral panic."If we surrender the docks to the cartel, we give Rossi a direct supply line to bring in heavy weapons and endless reinforcements.""I do not care about the smuggling routes or the syndicate borders!" I scream right in his face, furious that he would even consider debating the ransom."Daniel is the only real family I had before I met you three, and he has saved our lives more times than I can count.""We know how much he means to you, sweetheart, but we have to think this through," Seth interrupts, stopping his angry pacing to kneel beside Rhett."If we give Rossi the territory, he might just execute Daniel anyway to prove a point to the other gangs," Seth points out the grim reality of dealing w

    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

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   CHAPTER 5 ~ BEAU'S POV

    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

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   CHAPTER 4 ~ BEAU'S POV

    I force myself to nod once in silent agreement before walking toward the double doors. Seth immediately moves to walk directly behind me, and Dean steps to my right side while Rhett leads the way out of the conference room. We walk down the quiet, carpeted hallway in complete silence, and the absen

  • AN ALPHA IN HEAT: KNOTTED BY THREE POSSESSIVE ALPHAS   CHAPTER 3 ~ BEAU'S POV

    The words echo in the large room, and the sheer audacity of Rhett's demand creates a heavy silence across the mahogany table. I rapidly calculate the absolute danger of his ultimatum, yet my body is far more concerned with the sharp, agonizing cramp that suddenly twists through my lower abdomen. I
