Prologue Cyrus The wall in front of me held a web of names and locations. Large marks ran through the faces of the nearly twenty men I’d already eliminated. “I’ve got them,” my son Hayes said as he came in, tacking up five more pictures. “We’ve got it narrowed down to Senator Henry Burke’s inner circle. I’ve had my eyes on him and Antonio Alvarez for months.” “There’s an opening at the senator’s campaign office. One of our contacts let me know they need a security team,” Sterling added. He was my oldest, an alpha like me, and he was just as hellbent as I was on finding every single fucker involved in this trafficking ring. We’d watched his mother wither away after what they’d done to her, so death would be a mercy as far as I was concerned. “Keep tailing them. It sounds like we have a job, boys. We’re getting closer to digging up this whole fucking operation. I want to watch it burn to the ground,” I told them, tapping a finger on the senator’s face. “Saving these omegas won’t bring her back,” Weston said bluntly, my beta son telling the truth in the only way he knew how. “I know it won’t, but I promised her I’d take them down, and I won’t rest until we have.

He was rarely seen without some form of technology in hand. He was amazing at his job, and a beta who knew how to keep his head, but it affected his ability to connect with people outside of us. “I’ll make up dossiers on the staff at his office.” I stalked from the data room Hayes generally occupied to search out my brother, the acting head of our Family. Dorian looked up and sighed with exasperation when I slammed open the door. “I hear you’ve got a lead. Should I assume I won’t be seeing you or the boys for a bit?” “Obviously,” I answered, knowing that was the path I’d take no matter what he thought about it. My brother only sat in that chair because I’d declined the role. Stepping down to focus on the trafficking ring that had broken my wife was something I’d never regretted. The only thing I hated was that it had taken this long to make the progress we had. She’d been gone for over ten years, and I felt like I was still scurrying in the dark for real leads. “You have to give up on this at some point. I’m telling you, us putting our foot into the ring would get us ahead faster,” he said. “You can eventually take it down from the inside, and in
