“Three-way calls? What are we, fucking cheerleaders now?” Justin quips.

“He has my son.”

Silence.

Instant.

Absolute.

Then a wave of pure Alpha male dominance hits me as Wreck’s voice comes through the speaker, and his Bear is right fucking there with him.

“What? Who? When?”

“Ethan. The Bearded Vulture male who thinks he owns my mate has stolen our son.”

Beside me, Gabby sucks in a breath. My hand immediately finds her thigh.

I squeeze. She grabs hold of me.

“I’m going to get him back,” I continue. “He’s waiting for her to walk into a fucking ambush at the end of the Western Trail. Meet me there.”

“What do you need?” Wreck asks.

There’s no hesitation. No bullshit.

This is what it means to be a True Alpha.

Pack.

Family.

We protect each other. I’ve never understood that like I do right now.

“Come in from the north side. Stay downwind if you can.”

“Done.”

“I'll take the ridge,” Justin says.

“Stay out of sight.”

The Dragon actually fucking growls.

“I know how to hunt, Wolf.”

Normally, I’d tell him to fuck himself. Tonight? I grin, but there is zero humor in it.

“Good.”

A beat of silence.

Then Wreck says, “Havoc.”

“What?”

“We get the kid first.”

My jaw clenches.
