Shannon Stone was still speaking as she walked toward the door.
She thought someone had stayed behind and was about to tell them to leave, but she froze in her tracks when she reached the main entrance.
It wasn't any of her colleagues standing before her, but a trio of two Alphas and one Omega.
Strangers who absolutely shouldn't—and couldn't possibly—be here.
She instinctively tried to press her Intelligent Brain to call for help, but before she could even move, Aaron Xavier twisted her arm behind her back, incapacitating her.
The very Intelligent Brain she'd tried to use was now in the other Alpha's hand.
Within five seconds of their encounter, Shannon Stone was completely subdued.
This was to be expected. A Beta who had spent her life as a doctor was no match for highly trained Alphas.
Zoe Pierce and the others had chosen to reveal themselves because, fundamentally, Shannon Stone posed no threat to them.
