The thirty-minute drivetook less than ten. Thankfully, this side of town was devoid of cops—Maximo’s doing, most likely.
“Stop here. We go in on foot.” Sutton followed Maximo’s order without hesitation, pulling off under the overpass to give us a bit of cover.
“They’ll already know we’re coming,” Alessandro said. “I’ve got my sniper rifle, so I’m going up.”
He was out of the car with his rifle in hand, heading for the top of the old abandoned overpass. The location, along with all the other damning evidence, confirmed that the Humble Creed was doing some illegal shit. There was no other reason to choose a building out in the forgotten portion of the city.
If Maximo had known what they were doing with the ecstasy he had been selling them, I was sure he would have put an end to it a long time ago.
Rage boiled in me so intensely that I needed an outlet sooner rather than later. Lucky for me, we were already stalking forward. Every step fucking hurt, but I wasn’t going to hold myself back. We could take some time to heal and relax after these assholes were blown off the fucking map.
“We’ll handle the distraction,” Loki promised, veering off through the field with his men in tow, ready to hit the opposite side of the complex.
Once we were over the top of the hill, a copse of trees came into view. Just beyond that, I could make out a tall chain-link fence with barbed wire on top.
“Must be scared of losing their sex slaves,” Sutton said bitterly. “Don’t harm a single omega, but everyone else in this building can fucking burn.”
“I’ve got Valentina and our doctors waiting at the safe house. We can call Clark to come in with the cargo vans if we need it,” Maximo said as he clapped him on the shoulder. Seeing my alphas working side by side, like fallen vengeful angels, would have been hot as fuck if I wasn’t so damn worried about Hazel.
Once we reached the trees, the battle started. Gunshots and revving engines could be heard in the distance, telling us that the MC was seeing some kind of action.
“Fortified?” Maximo deadpanned as he shot the measly padlock and chains they thought would keep us out. It fell to the ground with a clink, and the alphas opened the gate, letting Emiliano and I rush ahead.
“I’m going for the biggest building. Come on, Zaven,” Sutton said, gesturing to the middle structure. Maximo and Emiliano went off to the right, heading for the first of the smaller ones.
The moment we stepped inside, the smell of smoke and chemicals was overpowering.
“Is this a fucking church?” Sutton asked.
“No,” I said. “Look, it’s a stage with a podium and nothing else. That’s probably where they talk about how they’re suffering out in our world and all that other cultish bullshit.”
“Hazel? Eliza?” Sutton yelled out. We both had our guns ready in case anyone came out to challenge us, but it seemed we were alone.
“Search the place,” I said as I started yanking open doors. The kitchens were empty, and so were the storage and restrooms. Before I could go on stage and check the door behind it, the front door burst open. Sutton and I jumped behind cover and got ready to shoot, only to see Loki and his men stomping inside.
“Fire?” Loki asked.
We stood up, and I let Sutton answer while I went for the last door.
“We’re searching now. No THC members here,” he answered.
“Alessandro took out their main guards, and we have about ten rounded up. It wasn’t a heavily guarded location,” Loki responded as they rushed to catch up to me.
“Basement,” I announced as I took the stairs two at a time. “Hazel? Eliza?”
“Zaven!” Eliza’s voice was muffled and far away. The hall was quickly filling with smoke, so we ducked down and kept moving forward. Loki and Sutton started kicking in doors, releasing terrified omegas from each room and ushering them upstairs. It figured that the alphas had abandoned the place when it went up in flames, leaving their omegas behind.Pieces of shit.Finally, at the end of the hall, we reached a barred door, seeing Eliza’s face on the other side.
“Where’s Hazel?” I yelled through the door when I realized she was alone.
“I just got her out a back entrance. Go! We’ll meet you outside!” she yelled before disappearing into the smoke.
The compound was in chaos.Through the scope of my gun, I could see women running out of the building, and the fire was speeding up, consuming everything in its path. It took every ounce of self-control and discipline to stay on the hill, gun at the ready, watching everyone’s backs.
I didn’t see a sign of Hazel anywhere, but then again, I wouldn’t be surprised if the alphas had taken her with them. The snap of a stick behind me drew my attention, and I had a smirk on my face before the guy even spoke.
“You must be one of the fools who thinks you can have our Sarah,” the man spat. When I turned around, his face was full of rage. “A fucking beta. Pathetic! What use are you all, anyway?”
“She’s found plenty of use for me,” I replied smugly. “Especially when she came on my cock during her heat. Over and over again. She’s fucking amazing, but you’ll never find that out.”
