“Yes, boss.” I gave him a mock salute and dodged around him to go to the kitchen.
Ryan was in there, fighting back a laugh, a full glass of water in front of him. I held up a finger, asking if that was his first. He shook his head, holding up three fingers.
“Yeah, I doubt you’re going to be dehydrated.”
He snickered. “I know better than that with Victor on the offense.”
We shared a look and then the laughs we had been fighting burst out, then there was a shout from upstairs and a roar. Tears poured down my cheeks as I cackled at Victor’s anger at being tricked into taking a cold shower.
“DECLAN!” he yelled.
Through my chuckles, I said, “Thought a cold shower would do you good!”
His response was just a bellow of anger. He stomped back into the bathroom, and I heard the water start again. It shocked me to the point that my laughter stopped dead. Ryan looked at me, wide-eyed.
“He’s fine. Being a big ole baby about a little cold water.”
“Dude. That water is like ice cubes once it gets cold.”
“Ha. Yeah, it is. And there is no warning when the heat is over. I’m going to buy the Druman’s a water heater as a thank you for giving us their house this week.”
Ryan shook his head, smiling. Before he could say anything else, the sound of tires outside was heard and we both perked up. Our girls were back. With pizza. Playfully shoving each other, we raced to the door, each intent on being the first one there. The door slammed open before either of us got there, however.
Storm’s eyes were wild, her hair flying around her face in her panic. The cut above her eye leaked blood that smeared on her forehead.
“He’s got her! He took her!”
“Whoa, little bit. Slow down. Who’s ‘her’? Who’s got her?”
“Riley! Alpha Brown took Riley!”
“Thefuckhe did!”
Chapter42
Riley
Storm and I raced down the road, windows down and the radio blasting. Her left hand was on the wheel and her right rested on my thigh. Our hair was whipping around our faces, and I had never felt so free.
I had already called the pizza place and ordered ten pizza pies; hopefully, that was enough. I tucked Ryan’s phone into my pocket and turned the radio up louder, singing at the top of my lungs. My girl beside me, on the way for food, and three hot as fuck men waiting for us back home? Yeah, life was pretty good.
Storm came to a stop sign and slammed the brakes on. Laughing, we shared a “whoopsies” look, and she pressed down on the gas to go through the intersection. One moment, the SUV was on the road, and the next it was spinning wildly out of control.
I screamed and threw my hands up to the dashboard, the colors outside swirling around and around the windshield as we spun in circles. Glass rained down on us when the Hummer came to a stop against the side of a tree. My eyes fluttered and I blinked, trying to remain conscious.
“Storm?” I asked, my head flopping to the side to look for her.
My heart plummeted to my feet. Blood was running down her face. I couldn’t tell where it was coming from, but it looked terrible. I floundered with my seat belt, trying to undo it so I could check on her. My own bumps and bruises covered me, but I ignored them. I needed to get to Storm. The belt unclicked at the same time as someone yanked my door open. Arms wrapped around my middle and started pulling me from the vehicle.
“No, stop! Let me go. I have to check on Storm. Let me go!”
“Stop fighting, omega. You’re coming with me. Let’s go.”
My breath halted in my chest. I knew that voice. A shiver rippled down my spine, fear causing me to break out in a cold sweat.
“No . . .”
“Yes, omega. You’re mine. Those alphas don’t deserve two omegas. I’ll just help them pick. Besides, you were always meant to be mine. I saw the longing looks you threw my way. You want me as much as I want you.”
