Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 188 – Unexpected Strength

I gasp as I hear someone scream and can’t help but spin to look – to see what the hell is going on –

There, on the floor – Brent, his leg twisted unnaturally behind him, still raising his gun and working to aim when a Beta –

I scramble backwards on the couch, pushing my boys behind me, doing everything I can to block them as I watch the Beta move forward and knock the gun from Brent’s hand, kneeling down on his shoulder to incapacitate him and waving to people at the door behind him –

Suddenly, two more men enter the room, guns held at the ready, sweeping the room to ascertain the threats against them. One man stands taller than the other – his helmet gone, I can see the dark sheen of his hair as he steps forward –

“Stop,” my father commands, and my head spins to look at him –

To look directly down the barrel of a gun that I realize, suddenly, is pointed right at me.

I gasp, freezing, terror gripping my limbs as I understand what my father is doing. He’s using the same trick that won him any power just hours ago on the battlefield –

Threatening me, my life, as a way to control Victor’s actions.

But this time, my father has my two children under his command as well.

My eyes fly to Victor, who stands steadily at the front of the room, his gun pointed at the floor. His first Beta is busy ensuring that Brent is incapacitated still, but his second Beta has his gun aimed at my father. Directly at his head.

Still, it’s a standstill.

“Let her go, John,” Victor says, the sound of his voice running chills through my body. “You’ve lost this battle. There’s no need to add any more violence to the game, not when it won’t do you any good.”

“I don’t plan to kill her,” my father says, his voice dangerous. “Or the children. Instead, I’m going to take them with me. They are my only ticket out of this house, after all. If I kill them, you’ll kill me. But with them alive…”

My father smirks at Victor, who glowers.

“With them alive,” my father says again, slowly, gloating at his prize. “I have options.”
