I cringed and my balls drew up just thinking about it. But he deserved every ounce of pain and more.
My Omega was as badass as she was beautiful. I was immensely proud of her for protecting herself and finally taking a stand against her abusers. That I helped play even a small part in her taking her power back lit me up inside.
“Your sins against my family are only a fraction of what you’re about to atone for.” Emilio nodded toward our pack, specifically Demi, who leaned more heavily into my chest.
“Speaking of sins,” Demi’s gaze found Lawson amidst our small gathered crowd, “The other Omegas are here somewhere. Pack Silver arranged sales for them and planned to hand them off after tonight’s function. They’ve got to be inside somewhere.”
Lawson was already moving. “Don’t worry. We’ll get them out and make sure they’re safely reunited with their families or packs.” He motioned for the rest of his pack to follow, and they moved swiftly back inside to rescue the others.
Emilio nodded his approval, then swung his eyes on Jamison. “Never let this one go. She’s a treasure.”
“I don’t plan to, sir.”
“Go,” he waved us off. “Take care of your precious Omega and cherish her all your days. There’s nothing more sacred than the bond between an Alpha and his mate.”
“We will,” Jamison vowed, turning his back on Pack Silver for the last time. Knox jogged after him, our pack surrounding Demi as shit got real.
Anton pleaded for his life as he realized the depth of trouble he had found himself in.
“Seems your transgressions have caught up with you,” Dimitri grinned wickedly as Tommas wrenched Anton’s arms behind his back and secured them with zip ties.
One of the black, hooded bags descended over Anton’s head before the pair of brothers dragged the man to his feet and hauled him toward the black town car that pulled to a stop at the end of the alleyway.
Jamison and Knox moved in front of me, blocking Demi’s view of the proceedings.
“Don’t watch, Sweetness,” Jamison ordered, and I turned around with her in my arms so she wouldn’t be tempted to look as Huck and Reed were similarly dragged off.
I nuzzled my cheek against the top of her head, murmuring, “Whatever happens now, it’s out of our hands.”
“I thought I killed him.” Her shoulders shuddered.
“No one would have blamed you if you had,” I promised, squeezing her tighter against me. “But none of us are leaving this alley with blood on our hands.”
“We asked for the favor,” she countered, not looking fully convinced.
“Iasked for the favor,” Jamison stated firmly, taking any and all blame onto himself. “Your soul remains as bright and unblemished as always, Sweetness.”
Demi’s lips parted as if she was about to argue.
“Let us shoulder this, Sunshine,” Knox said gruffly. “We’d dance with the devil himself if it meant keeping you safe.”
“We’re free now,” Thane breathed, wincing from the effort and gripping his ribs.
A tear tracked down Demi’s cheek as she gazed at Thane, worry shining in her mossy green eyes. “We need to get you to a hospital.”
“I could… say the same… about you,” he gasped.
“Let’s get you both out of here,” Eli compromised.
“Agreed,” I said, setting a course for the car so we could get both Demi and Thane the medical attention they desperately needed. “The sooner we can get you taken care of, the sooner we can go home.”
“Home,” Demi sighed. “You have no idea how good that sounds.”
“Yeah, Baby. I do.” I promised.
Home.Where I had every intention of claiming my Omega and making sure she was happy and cared for every single day for the rest of her life.
