My fight.

My fear.

I submit.

But before I can untangle all the words and things I need to say, someone’s phone buzzes.

Hunter curses. “911.”

The room’s tension shifts, and Atlas clutches me tighter. “Answer it.”

Love the way his deep voice rumbles when we’re skin to skin. More vibrations pulse when Hunter spits a string of juicy curses. “Redfangs kidnapped Noelle Patrick.”

My head rockets off Atlas’s chest.

But…

That’s not 911.

That’s a reason to pop champagne.

Hunter gives a few clipped “yes, sirs” before shoving the phone back in his pocket. “Dads need us there. Now Senator Charlie and the mates are fucking frothing. Threatening to cancel our military contracts if we don’t ride in and rescue their mate.”

“So you’re going?” My pitch rises dangerously close to a whine.

Hunter glances around. “A. Fuck Noelle. She can suffer. Also, B. Fuck the contracts. But C… It’s a lead on Dom. Following might finally give us his location.”

A panicked tremble rocks me.

I get it.

They have to go.

Have to hunt him down so he’ll stop hunting me and Orion.

But my heat’s so fucking close.

I can’t be alone.

“Not going.” Atlas snatches the tub of ice cream and a spoon, and gently shifts so he can feed me another bite. “ Staying right here, sweet girl.”

I can’t stop myself from smiling around the spoon.

Atlas smiles back with a special glint in his golden brown eyes. “Hunter will handle it.”

“At. Bro. You’re the leader, right?” Hunter clasps his hands in prayer. “You can—”

“I’m just a gummy bear.” He pats Hunter’s shoulder. “Have fun at the office.”

“Guys…” Hunter glances around while Atlas carries me and the ice cream to the sofa.

“I’m omega.” Orion grabs a blanket and snuggles down next to me. “Omegas don’t go to the office. Too chaotic.”

“Finn. Jett. We—”

“I need to lie low.” Jett cuts him off. “You should be getting another call.”

“What do you—” Hunter’s phone rings like dark magic. Square jaw tightening, he answers. “Yeah? He what? No. No. I don’t know. Call the fucking PR team. Fine. On my merry fucking way.” He pushes out a shaking breath. “What the shit is this? Mutiny?”
