“Jax!” She says, her voice panicked. “There are people at the school, I think they’re part of CPS or the police or something, but they’re saying I have to come with them!”

“What?” I ask, shooting up in bed.

“Livvy! I don’t know what’s going on,” She says, her voice shaking. “Please come quick. I don’t want them to take me away.”

“We’re coming right now, Summer, just hold tight for me, okay?”

“Okay,” She says. “I have to go now, please, please hurry.”

CHAPTER 14

JAX

Ijump up and out of bed. What the fuck are people doing at the school looking for Summer?

Olivia jumps up just as quickly, cursing when she can’t find her panties.

“Screw them,” she hisses, pulling on her yoga pants. “Let’s go.”

“That shouldn’t have been as hot as it was,” I tell her as we run down the stairs together. I catch the heat of her glare and wince. “Not the time? Not the time. Got it.”

We hop into my car and I gun it, speeding through the hilly streets of the city. I see Olivia biting her thumbnail as we get closer and closer to the school.

“Why do you think people are there?” She asks me.

“I don’t know, but whatever’s going on, I have your back. I promise.”

We pull into the school’s parking lot and Olivia jumps out of the car before I even have a chance to turn the engine off. I manage to catch up to her as she makes a beeline for the office.

When we make our way there, I see Summer’s face light up when she sees us. I also get to see every single muscle in Olivia’s body lock up when she sees who’s in the waiting room of her office.

Sitting there with a police officer and what looks to be a CPS officer, is their mother.

Oh man, do I hate that woman. She’s sitting there, her hands clasped in her lap, her nose tilted towards the air as if she thinks she’s better than everyone else in the fucking room.

“Livvy!” Summer says, jumping up from her chair and running over to throw her hands around her sister’s neck.

Summer is practically seething as she glares at her mother.

“What is the meaning of this?” she asks, her voice low. She doesn’t let go of Summer though, holding on to her like her life depends on it.

“Sorry to bring you in like this,” the principal says, pushing up her glasses up her nose. “But we seem to have a complaint from your mother saying that she has custody over your sister and wanted to take her out of school. I’ve urged everyone to remain patient and wait until you get here because you’re the listed contact for Summer, here.”

“I just want my daughter back,” Janice says, wiping at her eyes even though there are no goddamn tears there. “And she’s being kept from me.”

She turns to the alpha police officer and reaches out her hand. “You understand, right officer? I just want my daughter back.”

Oh god, the nerve of this woman.

“Olivia, was it?” the CPS officer says, stepping in. “It looks like in our records, Janice is still the one who holds primary custody over Summer and she’s requested for us to ensure that her rights to custody are still maintained.”

Olivia’s scent twists into something acrid with her anger. Everyone in the room but Summer seem to lean back away from her.

“Excuse me, Ma’am. Has Janice,” She says to the CPS officer, spitting her mother’s name. “Explained to you that I’ve been the one to take care of Summer ever since we were kicked out when I was sixteen because the alpha she was dating at the time raped me when I first presented as an omega?”

I see Summer’s hands tighten in the back of Olivia’s shirt at her words.

I take a step closer to both of them, stopping myself short of wrapping my own arms around them and carrying them away to safety.
