{ Daniel } This is my fault, is the first thing I think as I watch Gerard in the cell where Rodrick should be. I can't move for several seconds and then I bend down to make sure Gerard is okay. "He took my uniform and my shoes," he groans as I check that he's not hurt in any way. Apparently, he's just sedated, "Sorry, boss. Louis stayed outside, he didn't come in to back me up. The alpha attacked me when I was going to sedate him and managed to inject me. It was my mistake. I got overconfident, I wasn't careful enough." "Are you okay?" I ask and when he nods, still looking down in shame, I stand up, "This is bad, Gerard. Very bad. But we’ll talk about it later." I don't wait for him to answer, I just walk out of the cell to the one on the side. The beta is sitting on his bed and looks at me with interest when he sees me through the window. I hit the button to disable the soundproof system. "Where is your brother? Where did he go?" "I don't know," he answers, looking honest, "
We go back to the monitors to keep trying to identify the moment when Rodrick comes out of somewhere but once again we don't see him anywhere. It’s like he’s a ghost. I leave Frank analyzing the monitors and return to the first floor closet, again there is nothing for an alpha his size to hide in, except maybe the air duct. The opening is really tightly shut, I need to grab a slim tool to get right in the tiny crack and breaking it open, just to make sure he’s not here. Once I manage to open it, it becomes obvious that Rodrick can't be here because it was sealed, it had never been opened before. I grunt because I can’t believe Im losing time doing this dumb shït. I close the duct again and head for the stairs. I go up to the second floor, where there’s an open window, but if he had jumped out, we would have seen him on the cameras. I go up to the third floor and there's absolutely nothing here, up to the fourth floor and here's another duct, except this one is open. As soon as
As soon as the door closes behind him, I grab my pillow and I scream into it. Stupid fücking alpha, I hate him. I am not a kid, I'm a woman... a woman hurt and traumatized because of him. How dare he say those things to me and then just walk away? I stay there for a while drowning in my misery but then decide I don't want to be miserable anymore. I get up to wash my face and go back downstairs, expecting to see Daniel sitting in the living room or out on the backyard, but he's nowhere to be found. Robbie and my mother are cooking dinner while Lucinda sits at the table, massaging her temples as if she's extremely stressed. Meanwhile, Robbie is moving around the kitchen like a housewife on steroids. Does he love being a walking stereotype? "Have you seen Daniel?" I ask, trying to sound like I don't care that much. Robbie turns to look at me and glances down at my bare neck, his eyes lingering on the mark. I can smell a tiny hint of envy on his scent and my eyebrows rise in surprise
{ Olivia } Daniel looks dirty on his knees, especially when I manage to pull down my panties and he lifts my shirt to make me take it off, too.Daniel smiles when that happens and moves back a little so he can look at my naked body for a few seconds before he carefully lifts one of my legs to give himself room in between them.As soon as I feel his breath in my already wet pussy, my eyes roll back and I have to grit my teeth. Daniel licks and kisses me gently, like he thinks I'm made of porcelain, but once I grab his hair and force him to go harder, he goes full on eating out mode. Daniel doesn't stop or look uncomfortable even when I pull on his head, he just keeps eating me out… until I say I'm going to come and he pulls away completely. I fücking hate when he does this. "No! Why?" I complain, dropping my head to the wall. Daniel laughs at me and when he stands up, he strips off too and pulls me towards the shower. "Because I want to fuck you," he replies shamelessly, and turn
Frank is not coping well with this, not one bit. He destroyed my office and my computer, nearly broke my window and I even thought I had to sedate him at one point, but my father-in-law got all his aggression out and then calmed down. The guys guarding the borders reported a car like the one Rodrick was driving leaving the clan at five thirty, two hours ago. And after a little investigation, we found out that the car belongs to Hellen Briar, a worker of ours. As soon as I was told her name I remembered who she is and suddenly I started to understand things better.Hellen is the beta who I forced into the air duct. In desperation, I left before I made sure she got out of the ducts, but now I think I know what happened. I don't think Rodrick ever got out of the ducts, he just made me think he got out to confuse me. And he took Hellen prisoner with the gun he took from Gerard. Somehow he used her to escape and I can't believe one man played us all like that.While Frank is putting tog
When I finish talking to the beta and come out of the cell, Lucinda decides to finally remind me that we’re not living in the last century and that she’s married to someone who could end all our problems in a second. Lucinda talks to her husband for a little bit to explain what we need from him, then rolls her eyes and hands me the phone. "Are you stupid, Daniel? Why didn't you tell me before that Clara had her phone with her?" he demands as soon as I have the cell phone on my ear. "Because I have a lot on my mind." I excuse myself, earning an annoyed huff from him and then I remain silent for a couple of seconds while Robbie does his thing. This fills me with new hope. Could it really be that easy? "Her phone is disconnected," he mumbles a couple of seconds later, "Her last connection was three hours ago. Since then, her phone has been off. Give me a couple of seconds and I'll send you the location of her last connection." Well, it’s not perfect, but it's something. I end the
"This is Rodrick," he says and I stand completely still. "Stop asking if I've hurt my mate, I would never do that. I'm only running away because I'm a prisoner, according to you, but having her with me is not a crime. She is mine by right." "Your mate is terrified, Rodrick," I spit, clenching my hands into fists. Lucinda reaches over and tries to take the phone from me to talk to Rodrick but I push her aside, "She doesn't want to be with you, that makes it a kidnapping. You don't know your own omega. If you did you would know how much she’s hating what you’re putting her through." "Shut up!" he shouts, "I'm doing all this for her. I'm giving her a clan and making her my Luna." "Stop, Rodrick, just stop. No clan in America would accept that nonsense, no one abides by those rules anymore. You could travel to Europe and maybe there you could find a traditional clan who would accept you as their alpha by force, but you can’t travel overseas with a kidnapped woman, can you? Seriously,
Daniel comes up to me and tries to hug me like it's nothing, but I can't help but pull back in apprehension and disgust. The smell is going to make me puke at any moment. "What happened to you, are you okay?" I ask, taking another step back when Daniel keeps insisting on coming over to give me a hug or maybe even kiss me, "Daniel, wait! Whose blood is this?" "Mine, mostly... Rodrick's, Lucinda's and a little bit of Harry's. Don't worry, I'm starting to heal," he says and as I'm thinking about what he just said, Daniel takes advantage of me and hugs me. The smell of blood is so intense it makes me dizzy for a second, even if it’s mostly dry, “I missed you so much, baby." "I need you to..." before I can finish telling him to get away from me and go take a shower, I hear my mom, Carolina, Robbie and Rosie leave the house, while from the truck the family alphas slowly emerge. I take advantage of this to nudge Daniel away, pretending to be extremely interested in the descent of the oth
