131 - BEAU'S POV

He watches Rhett, Seth, and Dean load the last of the heavy explosives into the second assault vehicle."We are going to handle Vincent Rossi, and this nightmare will be over by tomorrow morning," I swear to him.I step forward and wrap my arms very carefully around his waist, making sure I avoid putting any pressure on his injured right side.I pull him into a gentle hug, resting my chin against his uninjured shoulder.He rests his chin on the top of my head and squeezes my back with his good hand."Keep yourself safe, Beau, because I am not fixing your computer if you get shot today," he murmurs into my messy hair."I will be fine, so just get in the damn car before Seth comes over here and throws you into the backseat," I laugh weakly, stepping away from the embrace.I turn my attention away from Daniel for a moment and look at the lead guard standing by the driver's side."Vance, I need you to listen to me very carefully," I say, calling the older Southside lieutenant by his name.

132 - RHETT'S POV

The thick morning fog clings to the rusted chain-link fences surrounding the old Miller Pharmaceutical plant.The massive brick buildings hide in a hazy gray shadow, looking more like ancient ruins than a functioning chemical laboratory.I check the seal on my heavy respirator one last time and pull the thick rubber straps tight against my jawline."Are the Southside teams in position around the back exits?" I ask into the radio microphone clipped to my shoulder."Vance's second-in-command has the loading docks locked down, Boss," a crackling voice replies over the secure channel."Nobody leaves this building alive," I order, and I chamber a round into my heavy rifle with a sharp, metallic clack.Seth hops out of the truck before it even comes to a full stop.He carries a thick canvas bag full of C4 explosives slung over his broad shoulder, and his dark eyes scan the perimeter for any signs of movement.I follow right behind him, keeping my weapon raised as I sweep the dark, broken wi

133 - DEAN'S POV

The bright red numbers on the laptop screen flash with a blinding intensity, illuminating the empty white tiles of the massive chemical vault.00:45."Fall back right now!" Rhett roars, his deep voice echoing off the concrete walls as he realizes we just walked directly into a massive trap.Seth immediately grabs the back of my heavy combat vest and tries to haul me out of the room.I dig the rubber heels of my boots into the floor and rip my shoulder out of his firm grasp.I do not turn around and run toward the safety of the hallway, because my analytical mind is already working a dozen steps ahead of the immediate danger."Dean, get the hell away from that table!" Seth shouts, his voice cracking with genuine panic."If we run out of this room, we lose our only connection to Rossi's network," I snap back, sprinting straight toward the folding table instead of the exit.I reach the laptop just as the digital timer drops down to thirty seconds.I drop my heavy rifle onto the floor and

134 - BEAU'S POV

I sit in the back of our heavy assault vehicle with the heater running on full blast, but I simply cannot stop shivering.The thick silk robe wrapped tightly around my waist offers no real defense against the biting morning chill seeping through the tinted bulletproof windows.I stare at the glowing tablet resting in my lap, watching the thermal camera feeds pointing directly toward the abandoned pharmaceutical plant.My three Alphas breached those rusted steel doors exactly six minutes ago, and the agonizing wait is tearing my nerves apart.The desolate industrial park remains painfully quiet, and the lack of gunfire makes the fresh bite marks on my neck throb with a dull, heavy heat.A sudden and violent spike of terror rips through the very center of my chest, and I know instantly the raw emotion does not belong to me.The newly forged pack bond floods my open veins with pure panic radiating directly from Rhett, Seth, and Dean.I drop the tablet onto the floorboard and grab the hea

135 - SETH'S POV

Beau’s desperate scream tears through the cramped cabin of the truck and hits my ears like a physical blow.I do not need to hear another word before I slam my heavy work boot down on the gas pedal with every ounce of strength I possess.The massive V8 engine roars to life like a caged beast, and the heavy tires spin wildly against the broken asphalt before they finally catch traction.We launch out of the abandoned industrial park so fast that the violent acceleration actually throws Dean hard against the dashboard.My brother curses under his breath and braces his hands against the plastic console to keep himself steady while I whip the steering wheel toward the main access road.I ignore the red stoplights and the blaring horns of the morning commuters, weaving our massive assault vehicle through the busy downtown intersections with absolute disregard for anyone in my path.The heavy pack bond burning inside my chest acts like a direct conduit for my sweet mate’s raw terror.I can

136 - BEAU'S POV

I shove the passenger door wide open and throw myself out into the freezing morning mist."Beau, wait for us!" Rhett roars from the backseat, his deep voice thick with sudden alarm.I ignore the direct command of my Boss and hit the ground running.My bare feet slap hard against the rough gravel on the shoulder of the highway, and sharp rocks slice instantly into my soft skin.I do not care about the stinging pain radiating up my legs, because the roaring fire ahead of me commands my absolute focus.I sprint toward the flipped SUV, and the intense heat of the blazing gasoline hits my face in a suffocating, heavy wave.Thick plumes of black smoke billow from the crushed engine block, rolling across the dark asphalt to blind my vision.I cough violently as the toxic fumes burn the back of my throat, but I force myself to keep moving forward.The scattered bodies of the Southside security detail lie motionless around the twisted metal wreckage.I drop to my knees on the cold pavement rig

137 - BEAU'S POV

The cold, heavily accented voice of Vincent Rossi echoes through the small speaker of my phone, hanging in the freezing mountain air like a death sentence.My entire world violently stops spinning, and the edges of my vision instantly blur into a dark, suffocating tunnel.The crackling roar of the burning transport vehicle just a few feet away fades into a dull, distant hum as my brain struggles to process the horrific ultimatum.I grip the heavy encrypted satellite phone so tightly that the thick plastic casing audibly cracks under the sudden, frantic pressure of my fingers.A massive wave of paralyzing, feral panic washes over me, stealing the oxygen straight from my lungs until my breathing becomes incredibly ragged."Take them!" I scream into the receiver, my voice tearing through the quiet morning fog with raw, unhinged desperation."You can have the shipping docks right now, Vincent, so please just tell me where you are and I will sign the transfer papers!"I press the splintere

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

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

140 - DEAN'S POV

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
