The other omega glared at Gage while Lavender stood gaping at us. “You lot need to talk, but don’t take too long, the guards will be coming around soon. If you’re mean to her I’ll find someone to chop your cock off, okay? All of your cocks.”
The icy steel of her gaze made even my balls shrivel up as she turned and glided out of the room, with her head held high.
“H-how are you here?” Lavender asked, staggering forward and sinking into the armchair in front of us.
“We just got approval to start courting omegas, we had to see you—the right way.” Gage grinned at her as he spoke, pure happiness on his face at seeing Lavender again.
“We couldn’t leave you Lavender, we are fucking in love with you, and we want to court you, properly,” Archer said.
“How are you even allowed in here?” Confusion was plastered across her face.
“We signed up and paid the fees—it turns out we had been falsely accused for many years by a member of the police department, so once that was cleared up we decided it was time to make our family whole.” Gage couldn’t take his eyes off her as he spoke.
“But you guys found Juniper?” Lavender whispered in a small voice. “That’s why you left me here, wasn’t it?”
Juniper?
“What on earth makes you think we found Juniper?” I asked, my voice more terse than I intended.
“Why the fuck did you bring me back here?” Lavender asked, sitting up ramrod straight.
“You were sick,” Gage whispered. “We didn’t want to.”
“And you didn’t find Juniper?”
“No, Lavender, are you okay? Rouche was an ass, but he wasn’t a trafficker.”
Lavender shot up and started pacing, mumbling to herself. Her head whipped to us, looking between us with wide eyes. “After Alec kidnapped me I woke up in a basement, Juniper was there with me—she’s been there for years!”
My heart stuttered in my chest. Surely not? A cold sensation radiated through my body, turning my bones to ice as my vision blurred.
“How?” I asked, my voice strangled. My chest felt impossibly tight.Is this what a heart attack feels like?
“Alec kidnapped her, it was never traffickers—oh god. You idiots! She escaped the same time as me, ran out into those woods alone.Fuck.You need to go find her, now!” Lavender pointed at the door as she spoke.
That sweet smell that had clung to Lavender when we found her had been so familiar. How had I not recognised my sister's scent? What kind of brother was I? My stomach turned and I sank into one of the seats.
Juniper was alive.
“Holy fuck,” Gage cursed, looking between me and Lavender. “Are you sure it was Juniper?”
“Of course I am!”
Archer pulled his phone out and started typing away. “I’m searching for any reports in that area on the night we found Lavender.”
“Was Juniper okay?” I asked quietly. My sister was out there, she had been for two weeks and I had no clue.
“All things considered. She’s malnourished, definitely traumatised, but she’s not as bad as I’d have expected for someone in captivity that long. Didn’t you guys check out the basement of Alec’s house?”
“We heard him yell and got distracted from the house. Our focus was getting you home—we didn’t realise.”
I stood up, taking a few measured steps to look at Lavender who was glancing between us all, her hand clutched to her chest.
She wasn’t eating properly. Her face was somehow even more gaunt than when we had dropped her off. Her upper arms looked frail and the T-shirt she was wearing was far too large. We need to get our omega home and safe. Then we could hunt for my sister.
“We will be finding my sister soon, but that wasn’t why we came, Lavender.”
“Why did you come then?” she snapped.
