With all the alphas distracted by my exposed ass, I decided this was my chance.
I slowly dipped my hand into my cleavage, pretending to undress further.
Instead, I clutched the knife handle, preparing myself for what I needed to do for myself and the baby. In one swift motion, I spun around, aimed to stab directly at Henry’s heart.
But he was faster than I anticipated.
His grip on my wrist was quick, like a vice. Panic surged through me as I futilely tried to pull free.
“Feisty little thing, aren’t you?” he taunted, his eyes wild with excitement. “I knew you’d try this.”
“How?” I gasped, trying to buy some time.
“You think I didn’t see you stash away your little knife? Ah, omega, when you put up a fight like this—it only makes me want you more.”
The other alphas chuckled darkly, their erections on display as they watched me struggle to pull away from Henry's grip. He finally released me, but now he held the knife in his hand.
He pressed the knife to my throat with a grim smile. With the cold steel against my skin, I could hardly breathe from fear.
Henry's grip was unyielding as he slid the blade down my neck and traced it along my cleavage.
"Did you really think I'd be that dumb, sweetheart?" he sneered. "You must have quite an imagination to believe you could kill the leader of all alphas."
“Please,” I begged, the quiver in my voice betraying my fear. "You don’t need me. Find another omega.”
He chuckled darkly.
“The moment I stepped into your little apartment and smelled your scent, I knew I had to have you. No other omega will satisfy me. Believe me, I tried.”
“I’m not going to satisfy you,” I cried out. “I’m not the one for you.”
“Tell me, Carmen,” Henry whispered, his breath hot against my ear, “do you want to live?”
I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest.
“Then relax and enjoy every minute of me,” he purred, setting the knife aside. “Any other omega would die to be here rutted by me.”
Suddenly, the door burst open, and a loud alpha bark reverberated through the room.
My heart soared when I saw Tyler, his muscular wolf formdominating the space, rushing straight for Henry. I recognized him immediately by his scent, which was stronger in wolf form, and the dark color of his fur.
“What the fuck?” shouted Henry as Tyler dragged him off the bed by his teeth.
Before Henry’s men could come to his aid, Logan, Axel, and Griffin lunged at the other alphas.
I watched in shock as Henry kicked and screamed, struggling in vain to free himself from Tyler's grasp. Overwhelmed by the chaos, I clutched my pregnant belly protectively, my heart racing.
As Henry shifted into his wolf form, he and Tyler snarled and snapped at each other, their anger palpable in the air.
The room erupted into a cacophony of snarls, growls, and the shattering of glass as the two wolf packs clashed in a brutal free-for-all.
I watched with a mix of awe and terror as massive wolves lunged, bit, and tore at each other, their powerful bodies crashing through the ornate furniture that had once adorned Henry's luxurious mansion. The scent of blood hung heavy in the air, mingling with the primal musk of anger and rage.
“Shit, Carmen, we need to get you out of here!” Jaxon’s voice cut through the chaos as he shifted back into his alpha form and rushed to my side. His hazel eyes were filled with concern, his protective instincts taking over.
“We can’t leave them,” I protested, my heart aching for Logan, who risked everything to save me. But Jaxon was already lifting me into his arms, my frame feeling even more delicate against his muscular chest. “Jaxon, please…”
“We’ll regroup, but right now, your safety is our priority,” he said, firmly carrying me in his arms away from the chaos unfolding in the room.
