"Where? Who?" Trix barks each question.
I rub my head with the heel of my hand. “No idea of his name, but it was three stops ago? No, six stops ago. It was months past. We were in the midwest, Idaho."
Could it be this simple?
"Is this him?" Detective Johnson shows me a photo on my phone.
I hadn’t even noticed the cop following us.
My eyes widen as I recognize those cold eyes. “Yes."
"Good work. We'll get his picture out in town, and see if anyone's seen him."
I slump at the realization that just because we have an idea of who it is, doesn't mean we know where Rose is. Though I don't want the cops to find him. I want to find him myself. And make sure he understands that omegas are not goddam toys for him to use how he pleases.
And we're not weak either.
"We're not waiting around for the cops to handle this." Trix hisses in my ear.
I meet her determined gaze with one of my own. “No. We're not.”
Chapter Fifty-Two
Aurora

IT'S LATE, AND WE'RE all exhausted by the time we make it back to the pack's house. Trix doesn't come with us, choosing to keep searching and talking to people, especially at the omega housing building. I can't even enjoy the fact that my mother has been arrested or even consider tracking down my father and helping him. All I can focus on is Rose.
I cannot lose her. I will burn this fucking world down if I do.
Refusing to be comforted, I don't sleep in the nest with the others, instead I return to the guest room Rose and Trix have been sharing, curling up miserably in the middle of the bed, the nest Rose had built herself, surrounding myself in their scents.
But I can't sleep. It feels wrong, resting, while who knows what is happening to Rose.
My phone buzzes with a message from Trix, asking me to come to the omega housing. I leap from the bed with relief, making sure to grab my pepper spray, my knife, and the sort of nightstick thing Trix gave me after the shit at the rally.
