Page 181 of Drown My Sorrow

I’ve had enough.

Totally and completely.

Gael was right, it’s time to fight back.

Sonnyisinthecar parked out back, getting his lying dick sucked by the ever talented Mitch. He’s valiantly decided to take one for the team.

I take the key that I stole and creep into the tiny police station. Inside, I sneak down the hallway and pause when I find another door. I open it.

Gael is lying asleep on a small cot. I limp forward and reach down, laying my trembling hand on his chest. He’s so beautiful.

I almost burst into tears, I’m shaking so bad. The sick feeling ebbs, and I curl my fingers in his shirt and tug slightly.

Three weeks.

I haven’t seen my pack in three weeks.

A great well of yearning and relief spills open in me.

Gael snaps his eyes open. In seconds, he’s up, enfolding me in a hug before he can even draw a breath.

“Aspyn, what are you doing here?”

“Breaking you out. Come on, we have to go.”

He doesn’t hesitate, his hand clasped in mine. I close everything up, put the key on his desk, and walk out.

I don’t give a fuck about cameras or anything. If he wants to play this game, I’ve got him on camera refusing to help me and being sucked off by his fuck buddy at work.

I have enough to destroy his career, and if he comes after my pack again, I will.

This omega is done playing around.

Gael stays right with me. I lead him to the beach, walking towards the other end where a little jetty extends out into the ocean, and a boat is waiting for us.

“Where are we going?”

“We are getting out of here,” I mutter.

“But where?”

“The other side of the island, there’s a place the Daane go. It should be safe for the three of us until they get here.”

Gael tugs me to a stop and kisses me. I lose myself in the kiss, breaking into a thousand pieces and being remade.

He pulls back. “Every moment in there, I thought of you.”

“Every moment you were in there, I tried to come up with an idea of how to get you out.”

His white smile is blinding, and I feel giddy with relief. I tug him towards the jetty but stop when I see people standing on the beach. The moonlit ocean hides them until it’s too late to get away from them.

I look for the boat but can’t see it.

“Where is Nat?”

Gael makes a deep sound in his chest and shakes his head. “Nat’s gone. The boat is on the beach. Was the boat on the beach before?”

I turn and look around, wondering where the fuck she went.
