Chapter 48

ACHILLES. "Alpha! Alpha Achilles!" I feel the scream before I can even turn around and see Carlos yelling at the top of his lungs. I'm in my study organizing all the things I need to meet with my men and Claudia, so I was used to the complete peace. The vibrations from his scream alone are enough to make me flinch. Carlos is rushing into the study with a manic look in his eyes. He looks like a cornered animal waiting for something to pounce on. “Alpha,” he says again, panting hard. “Alpha Achilles…” ‘Speak!’ I bark at him, setting down the papers and rushing to him. ‘What the hell is wrong?’ When he doesn’t say anything, I square up to him. ‘If you don’t tell me right now, I swear to god I will—” “Alpha, it’s Hyperion… he’s awake!” At first I'm not sure if I read his lips right, but then it slowly sinks in. He’s still staring at me as though waiting for me to react, and the words he just said finally make a touchdown. Hyperion is awake now. I have never moved so fast in my life
