“This is an all-out war,” said Axel, puffing out his chest.

“I’m fucking ready,” said Talon. “Every minute counts.”

“Nice catch, Tyler,”one of the guards sneered as Tyler led me into the mansion, handcuffs biting into my wrists. I burned with rage but kept my expression carefully neutral, playing the part of a defeated captive.

“Thanks,” Tyler replied without missing a beat, his tone casual, betraying no hint of our plan to kill Henry. Beside me, Griffin and Talon were being escorted by Jaxon and Axel.

Disbelief washed over me as we entered the mansion despite the circumstances. We were finally in, and now we could move forward with our plan to save Carmen.

Tyler led us to his office, and once the door closed behind us, he swiftly removed my handcuffs. I rubbed my wrists, glancing around the room. “This is your spot?”

“Yep,” he confirmed, already scanning the security monitors. He checked every camera, not finding Henry anywhere. “This room. This is where he is.”

I looked at the screen, and all I saw was a closed door.

“Are you sure she’s in there?”

“That’s where he takes all his new omegas. They’re definitely in there,” confirmed Tyler, his jaw tense. I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest as we prepared to decimate some alphas.

chapter 24

. . .

Carmen

My heart raced as Henry took my hand, leading me toward the bed.

His beady eyes flicked to the other alphas in the room, smirking as if he had just won a prize. I swallowed hard, knowing that my life would be completely destroyed in minutes.

“Get on the bed,” he ordered.

“And if I don’t?” I asked, keeping my voice steady.

“Depends if you like being manhandled,” he replied, his gaze darkening as he leaned in closer. I immediately noticed the bulge in his pants growing more prominent.

My stomach churned with fear; he was unpredictable.

When I realized I had no other options, I cautiously climbed onto the bed, mindful of my pregnant belly. The scents of the alphas around me were intoxicating, causing my body to react, even against my will.

“She smells so fucking good,” growled one of the alphas.

“Get on your knees,” Henry demanded, and I complied, feeling the white dress fan out over the white blankets beneath me.

The sound of his belt hitting the floor and the clink of the metal buckle made my heart pound in my chest. My breasts felt heavy from pregnancy, swinging slightly as I moved into position.

“I’m pregnant, and I love my pack,” I pleaded with him. “You’re going to ruin my life forever.”

Henry just chuckled darkly, clearly enjoying the sense of power he held over me.

I shut my eyes tight, my heart racing.

Fear consumed me as I tried to focus on the small steak knife tucked into my bra from dinner earlier.How on earth was I going to stab Henry with it?

Henry climbed onto the bed and positioned himself behind me, his hands beginning to lift my dress slowly, exposing my skin inch by inch. My breathing grew heavy and erratic. Each inhale was a desperate attempt to calm myself.

I needed to find the right moment.

My cheeks burned with embarrassment as my ass became exposed under the predatory gazes of the alphas around us. Their ragged breaths deepened, and I could sense their desire. I glanced back to see Henry’s cock swinging behind me, his arousal clear.
