“What’s this?” he asks.
Noah shakes his head. “It’s bad.”
Everett lets go of my hand to open the folded A4 sheet.
We both read the note at the same time.
“Oh, Goddess.”
Noah was right. This is bad.
Chapter Seventy-Nine
Cheryl
Oscar’salreadybeensoldto a buyer. He was sold before they even came out here to capture him. Georgia doesn’t know who the buyer is. Her story was true, and she desperately wanted to get Leo out of town to give him a chance at a normal life. She knew her Alpha wouldn’t let her go. That he’d rather see her dead like Alyssa than let her escape. She signs off asking us to please take care of her boy.
I’m in too much shock for any of it to really sink in. I take the note when Everett lets it go, and I read it again. “They killed Alyssa. This note confirms that, doesn’t it?”
“It sounds like it,” Noah says. “But it’s also vague.”
“The witch needs to know about this,” Everett says. “They came out here with intent to capture Oscar, and they’re going to sell him to fuck knows who. He isn’t safe. They can’t allow this.”
“She’s going to think we’re making this up,” I say, knowing it.
If we can even get the Council of Witches to allow us to speak to Mabel, she’s already seen how determined we were not to let that pack take Oscar. She’s not going to take a hastily scrawled note as evidence when we miraculously come across it right after she left.
“We don’t know how they did this,” I add, shaking my head. “If they killed Alyssa, why did it look like Oscar did?”
“Maybe we shouldn’t trust the witch,” Noah says, as if he’s reluctant to say it. “She could be in on it.”
“She’s trusted by The Fates. She’s beyond reproach,” I tell him. “Rachel checked into her.”
At least we know that. It’s not much, but it’s something.
“Where is Rachel, anyway?”
“She went with Ivy to find Vi.”
I blink at him. “Find Vi? What do you mean? Is she missing?”
“She was supposed to be taking Georgia to a room for Leo to sleep in, but she wasn’t upstairs.”
I suck in a breath. Panic spills through me. How could we lose track of Vi?
Oh, Goddess. She’s an Omega, just like Oscar. If that pack are selling Omegas, why would they walk away from the chance to grab another one? When she’s sitting here, right under their noses the whole damn time.
“Where’s Ivy?” I ask Noah, when I’m too upset to concentrate to pick up her scent trail.
“I’ll find her.” Noah takes a breath before he moves toward the kitchen.
My gaze latches onto the open back door and my breath catches.
I sprint past Noah, rushing out into the yard.
Those wolves just left. They can’t have gotten far.
My wolf rises to the surface, ready to locate Vi and bring her back home. Mabel’s rules can go to hell. That note told me everything I needed to know. The fact that they decided to go after our remaining Omega only punctuates how underhanded they’ve been.
