Hunter curses. “A nun would jump on that shit.”
“And Dom?”
Jett shakes his head. “Guy didn’t see him leave.”
Fuck.
There has to be a bunker.
But there’s not enough time to dig, and now we have the double worry of needing to keep the omegas safe from every underworld alpha on the continent.
We need to get back.
I need to talk to her before she can sign herself away.
That’s as far as I can think.
Get to Lilah. Make sure she’s safe. Make sure she’s eating and sleeping and well. Put her and Orion in the safest, coziest nest and lock them in together.
“We’re out.” I bark orders like the commander I can still be when I’m not so fucking focused on all the ways I’m failing. “Finn, get Hunter to the runway. Hunter, need you to get our wheels up. Jett, transfer mission control to Nathan. Let him clean up the rest of this shit. I’ll have the teams keep sweeping.”
They jump.
Not to obey, because they’re all seething at me for their own special fucked up reasons.
They jump because the faster they move, the faster we see Lilah.

LILAH
The morning of my discharge drags through final checkups with nurses who lick their lips while they rattle off my care instructions.
If my scent hits betas this hard, I’m dreading alphas.
Or not?
I shouldn’t dread.
I should want to attract as many alphas as possible and give myself as many options as I can.
But just because I need alphas doesn’t mean I have to like them, love them, or want them around after my heats.
I’m bracing for impact when my escort finally arrives. Trainer Evgenia marches ahead of a file of armed guards, strutting into my suite like the majorette in a holiday parade. She wears a brunette ballerina bun and a silk brocade robe that’s way too extra for the clinic, let alone my plans to stealthily crawl back to the last place I ever wanted to return.
But better her than any of the other trainers.
They’re going to be insufferable.
“My god, your pheromones.” She presses a handkerchief to her nose.
“That bad?” I mean, I can smell myself, but it’s freaking me out how strongly everyone keeps reacting.
“You’re going to make a sensation.”
Just what I never wanted.
“Come dance for me before you let a new pack sweep you away.”
