“Shit, is he in a mood?” I ask glancing behind me, down the corridor that leads to the back of the club and the comms room and King’s office.
“With everything that has been going on, what do you expect? He doesn’t like his pack in trouble.” I grunt and then glance at Onix again, I see the way she sits there just listening to Dakota and Sam talking, not participating but not leaving either which is a good thing.
I make my way towards her, she glances my way and the lively, hell bent on putting me in my placewomanthat I know is gone, in her place is the sad, quiet, and hurt woman that I will do anything to see that spark flare up again. I squat down next to her chair, my eyes in line with hers “I need to go and speak to King, I will be back soon.” She nods, lifting her hands she strokes my face which has me turning my head and kissing her palm.
“Will you be here when my mom arrives?” I can hear the hesitation in her voice and know that her asking for any type of support is new to Onix, but I am pleased that she wants me by her side when she has to go through the ordeal of telling her mom.
“Yes, I won’t be long.” She nods again and drops her hand; I lean forward kissing her gently on the lips before standing and making my way towards Goliath. “Okay, hope this doesn’t take long.” I mutter.
“I’ll stay here and keep an eye on thewomen,” he says,which has me tapping him on the shoulder in thanks as I pass him making my way towards King’s office. Approaching I see him leaning against his desk, a folder in his hand he looks up as I enter his office.
“You wanted to see me?” I ask.
“Close the door,” oh fuck, it is never good when his door is closed. I turn from closing the door to find King placing the file down on the desk. “Come here.” I frown as I approach, when I am but a step away, I am surprised when King throws his arm around my shoulder and pulls me close. King doesn’t go into shows of emotion often, as the alpha of the pack it is harder to keep men like us on track if not with a firm hand.
“Are you okay?”Heasks as he steps back, “I heard you lost your shit.” I nod as I pull my fingers through my hair.
“King, I can’t explain it but seeing her like that when I couldn’t do anything,” I shake my head, “It was heart wrenching to see her like that.” King nods making his way around the desk he takes a seat.
“I wanted to talk to you about what is happening, you have been locked up with your woman for two days so you might not know.” I frown, with everything that has been going on with Onix, I haven’t even thought about everything else.
“The cops have been up on the hill, so far they have found twelve women.” Twelve? More than we thought, “but they are still looking, so far the oldest corpse has been dead at least six years.”
“Fuck King are you saying that there has been a sick motherfucker killing women right under our nose for over six years?”
“Looks like it,” King grunts, “but that isn’t the problem, you are still a suspect in thatwoman'sdeath. I don’t want them to try and link all of this to it.”
“Shit, we need to prove that she was still alive when we left there.” I mutter.
“I have Fang and Blue talking to the neighbours to see if they can find anyone that might haveseenher after you left.”
“This guy is intelligent King; it isn’t easy to kill that many women and never get caught. If it wasn’t for my woman’s sister, we still wouldn’t have known there was someone here killing women.”
“The only problem is that whoever the killer is will either lie low for a while or disappear which means that we won’t catch him.” King says as he rubs his face with the palms of his hands.
“I want to find him, I promised Onix that we would find her sister’s killer.” King looks at me for a minute then he nods.
“You can carry on investigating this, but you know this might take a long time to figure out who this killer is.”
“I know, but sooner or later he will make a mistake and I want to be there when he does.” King nods.
“Was there any kind of evidence up in the hill?” King asks with a frown.
“Nothing,it was like a ghost. Linda was buried up there over a week ago, and since then it has rained but nothing at all King. I think that the only way to catch this asshole is by trying to find what he takes from these women. He must keep it somewhere, and if we are close enough then we can smell it.” Just then my phone beeps which tells me that the men are close withOnix’smother.
“I have to go,Onix’smother is about to arrive.” King motions with his hand for me to leave but I see a frown on his face as he continues considering what I said to him. Making my way towards the front I prepare myself for the upcoming meeting with Onix’s mother.
“She’s nearly here.” I murmur as I walk past Goliath, the women look up as I approach. “She’s here?” Onix pales as I stretch out my hand towards her, her fingers are shaking slightly when she places her hand in mine. Standing she looks at me, “I’m ready.” she murmurs, but I know that she’s not. Squeezing her hand gently I guide her outside, we are just stepping outside when the car pulls up.
“How can I destroy her world?”Onix’svoice breaks and I can feel the tremor in her hand.
“Sweetheart.”Hermother calls as she steps out of the car. Onix lets go of my hand and hurries towards her mother.
“Mom.” Onix murmurs just before her arms go around her mom and she is hugging her close.
“I thought you weren’t feeling well?”Hermom murmurs against her ear.
“I’ve been better.” She whispers as she leans back.
