So how the hell did he disappear?
The rabid urge to rip out his throat claws under my skin. But it’s weaker than the screaming need to see Lilah. To see Orion.
Have to neutralize the threat to our omegas.
Have to finish the goddamned mission my father assigned, so I can get back where I belong.
I keep half my attention on comms, waiting for better news from our teams sweeping the island.
The rest is for Finn, who cackles like a warlock while he chars Dom’s island coca field with a flamethrower. He looks like a fire demon, red hair merging with the blaze and smoke.
It’s the first time he’s not dead-eyed in days, staring me down like he’s deciding which organ to skewer. Arson will only keep him high so long, but I can’t bring myself to take away his gasoline backpack.
He’s losing his sanity.
I’m losing my control.
I’m a weapons-grade idiot.
But this has to be done. We have to burn the Redfangs out at the goddamned root.
Otherwise, how can I look Lilah in the eye and promise I can take care of her?
Broke that promise before it was made.
I failed her.
When I left Lilah with Craig, let her be dragged from our home, and instead of thanking her for saving Orion’s life, I sent her to suffer.
Now Dom’s making grabs for our omegas from all corners, and there’s chatter on a bounty to whoever brings them in alive.
The cartel almost grabbed Orion from the hospital, and I’m still not over the defeated look on his face when I grounded him for safety.
I’m fucking up.
All I am is this job—the leader my father groomed me to be from the moment I could crawl.
Don’t want to let Scorpio down.
Lilah.
Orion.
The pack.
Can’t let any of them down.
So as hard as my instincts ride me, screaming with the need to bite and claim and keep the meant-to-be omega who’s the perfect match to the soulmate I already have, I won’t run back to Lilah with shallow words.
I need to prove the danger’s gone.
Get down on my knees and gift her Dom’s goddamned head in a sack.
All Lilah has to do is point and I’ll destroy, dismember, fucking annihilate anyone who’s ever hurt her.
The pack feels the same.
Except, we’re the ones who hurt her hardest.
