Silence

“Ok. Where?”

“Who the fuck cares? Help me pick her up. We’ll dump her somewhere remote, and we’ll hope to fuck she’s good and dead before anyone finds her. The last thing we need is for her to point fingers at us.”

“We could?—”

“You want to kill her? Go right ahead.”

Silence.

“Okay, fine. Let’s get her out of here. You grab her legs.”

Everything goes black.

I open my eyes, but they don’t want to work.

Wherever I am is vibrating.

The vibration stops, a metallic creak splits the air, and I’m moving.

I fall on my face too quickly to protect myself.

I can’t breathe lying on my face like this.

Footsteps move away fast.

Car doors slam.

One, two, three.

An engine purrs, tires squeal, and then… nothing.

Just me swimming in an ocean of pain and blackness.

Chapter 16

Levi

“She was tryingto blow up the school,” Xavier says.

All eyes turn to him as he sinks into a seat at the table piled high with papers.

It’s not a large room. With five big alphas, one beta, a glaring pregnant omega, and the large round table dominating the space, it feels cramped.

I take the chair beside him. “She was on a mission to convince omegas they were in a cage they needed to break out of.”

Our round of introductions was brief.

Delilah Farrow, AKA Della Jackson, is in trouble. Potentially the life-ending kind.

I had heard of Lucas Security, the private security company that rarely took cases from the wealthy alpha families. I hadn’t known why until all the shit about those same families being involved in Asylum, a secret club buying and selling omegas, hit the news.

Garrison, the CEO, and the face of the security firm, closes the office door and walks to the front of the room, leaning against the whiteboard and crossing his arms. His expression is a mix of amused and bewildered. “The perfume.”

Vince’s phone vibrates, and he pulls it from his pocket as he speaks. “She stopped an omega from being grabbed outside the gate. That was late yesterday afternoon, but you can find her faster than the cops.”

Garrison tilts his head. “How would you know what was going on at Haven Academy?”
