Page 51 of Denied By the Alphas

Tyler started running toward me, and I screamed one last time before being shoved into the van. The door slammed shut, cutting me off from the outside world.

“Let her go!” Tyler’s anguished shouts echoed in my ears as the van drove away from my alphas.

My pulse racedas the van sped through the night, tires screeching in their haste to carry me further away from my pack. I could feel the cold floor beneath my feet, the unforgiving metal pressing against my bare skin. My heart sank deeper with every passing second like there was a crushing weight over me.

“Please,” I whispered, choking back a sob. “Let me go. You don’t have to do this.”

A laugh echoed through the van, one of the masked alphas turning his attention to me.

“You think we have a choice, omega?” His voice was cruel and mocking. “We follow orders. You belong to Henry now.”

“Like hell I do,” I said, breathing hard. My hands balled into fists at my sides, though I knew it would be pointless to fight them all. But I refused to give up so easily. “I will never belong to him.”

“Keep telling yourself that, sweetheart,” another alpha sneered, his eyes raking over me hungrily. “Once he knots you, you’ll forget all about your precious Tyler.”

“Shut up!” I shouted, my voice breaking as tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. Desperation clawed at my chest, my mind racing with thoughts of escape, but the van was speeding down the highway.

“Leave her alone,” one of the other alphas snapped, his tone surprisingly gentle compared to the others. “She’s scared enough as it is.”

“Aw, does someone have a soft spot for the omega?” The first alpha taunted, but the van fell silent after that, leaving me to stew in my fear and grief.

I banged on the tinted window, my fingers aching from the effort. The glass felt cold and unyielding beneath my palms, mocking my desperate attempts to escape. With a frustrated growl, I tugged at the door handle, but it remained steadfastly locked.

“Please,” I whispered once more, my voice barely audible even to myself. “I’m begging you. Let me go. My alphas will pay you whatever you want.”

Silence met my plea, the alphas seemingly unaffected by my pain. The only sounds were the hum of the engineand the occasional muffled curse as one of the alphas shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

I leaned back against my chair, trying to catch my breath. My heart continued its frantic pace, each beat a reminder of how dire my situation had become. The baby inside me stirred, and I placed a protective hand on my belly, vowing silently that I would do everything in my power to keep us both safe.

For now, all I could do was wait and pray that rescue would come before it was too late.

Logan

The scent of blood, sweat, and adrenaline filled the air as I grappled with one of Henry’s men. Our wolf bodies collided, and my teeth bared in full rage.

They were threateningmyomega. They weren’t going to touch her.

My pack fought around me, their snarls mingling with the sounds of fists connecting with flesh.

In the midst of the chaos, the three wolves seemed to be listening to their pack leader telepathically. The wolf slipped from my grasp and bolted for the door, his pack members following suit. Their paws skidded on the hardwood floor, leaving trails of blood behind them.

I quickly shifted back.

“Come back here, you fucking cowards!” I shouted after them, but they were already gone. As I surveyed the living room, torn apart by the battle, a sickening realization washed over me.

Carmen was missing.

She had been there just moments ago with Tyler, but now, she was gone, and he was gone as well.

“Shit,” I muttered under my breath, my heart sinking. We hadn’t won the fight; they had captured Carmen and escaped.How could I let this happen?My chest tightened with guilt, anger, and a primal need to find her and bring her back to safety.

“Logan,” Griffin called out, his voice strained from the fight, bloody claw marks visible on his chest. “What’s going on?”

“Those bastards took her,” I growled, breathing hard as my chest nearly exploded with rage.
