I’ll ask

No hostiles

HocusPocus

Thanks.

OttisWoof

What happened, Uriel? I thought everything was going okay??

HocusPocus

I think he’s mad at me. Or hates me. Or both. IDEK.

Dad2Pups

But you were okay with him hating you before

HocusPocus

That was over trivial stuff

Then things changed and I fucked up. Everything is a mess

You’ve helped us a ton, Uriel. Let us help you

We don’t mind listening if you need to vent

HocusPocus

I can’t. Gtg

Uriel tucked his phone away safely and recast his invisibility spell. With a last check to make sure Cassie was secure in the baby harness, Uriel flew over the forest toward the compound.

He didn’t see any sign of Bruiser. Maybe he’d left? Uriel didn’t want to stick around to find out.

He flew over to the truck and released the freezing spell with a wave of his hand; people began to speak within the truck.

So he did a quick unlocking spell for the truck door, and pulled it open.

The sooner he got them free, the sooner he could leave.

“Who’s there?”

Damn it. He had been a victim once; he should know better than this. Uriel grimaced and released his invisibility and soundproofing spells, glancing around to make sure there were no alphas lurking nearby.

“Me. I was the one who set up the freezing spell in case there were hostiles in the cargo area with you,” Uriel said, reaching out to help the omegas out of the truck. “But I was away and it took me a while to get back. What do you all need?”

Then he took a closer look at the omegas, and his heart clenched.

This batch of omegas had been captive for a while. They were gaunt and exhausted, covered in scars.

Uriel couldn’t just leave them here. Fuck.
