Ma let out a small gasp and her hand flew to cover her mouth. Dad drew her close against his body, a deep purr setting her at ease.
“I knew you’d figured it out when Xavier went digging. I have a few failsafe measures in place to alert me when someone tries to figure out who is behind Dreamscape.” He arched a brow at Xavier. “You’re fucking good by the way, my tech expert had a hell of a time keeping you out.”
Xavier grinned. “I’d love to talk with them sometime, they’re brilliant. Could use someone like that on my team.”
“You aren’t poaching my team, so just let that thought fall right out of your head.” Jonathan pointed a finger at Xavier, knowing that was what was already rolling through his head.
“How many omegas like me have you helped?” Alena asked softly.
My cousin’s face softened as he looked at my mate. “A little over two dozen. It takes a considerable amount of time and resources to get someone out of Society and placed far enough away from them they won’t be found.” His expression fell and sorrow played out in his eyes. “Sometimes it isn’t far enough. I’m just thankful that your mates were around to protect you when I could not.”
“Thank you.”
It was a simple statement, but a powerful one as we stood in silence for a moment. Simon handed us each our drink of choice, and we sipped while waiting for more information.
Clearing his throat, Jonathan crossed the room to refill his tumbler. “We’ve been onto Abbott because he’s been involved in omega trafficking. Kidnaps young omegas just before their first heat hits and sells them off to filthy alphas.”
Snarls and growls echoed in the room, every male here letting out their frustration. That slimeball was dead. I’d find a way to get to him. I’d slice off his pathetic pecker then shove it down his throat.
The need for blood and vengeance rode me hard as I fought for control. I was beginning to feel a bit like Xavier.
Alena laid a hand on my chest, directly over my heart. Grounding and calming my wayward rage.
“You said something about Bridget?” Simon asked, his knuckles white from the grip around his glass. How had it not broken yet?
“Her cover was blown, and she was almost found.”
CHAPTER32
Simon
Iforced myself not to spiral into a rage at John’s words. Bridget was under my protection. If she was found out, it’s because I’d fucked up somewhere.
If John didn’t start speaking in the next two seconds, I was going to lose my normally cool and controlled persona.
“I was able to get her out of there. It’s what I wanted to talk with you guys about. Your friends over at Second Chance Ranch offered to take her in, but said I had to clear it with you first.”
Noah agreed to take in an omega on the run? It didn’t surprise me per se, but I knew he was having financial troubles and supporting another mouth would make things that much more difficult.
My mind already started calculating how I could send them help in the form of some government grant. Anything to save the ranch and their livelihood since the bastards were too stubborn to take money from us.
It wasn’t their fault that a woman had wormed her way into their lives and made off with everything they had saved in the five years running the ranch.
“That’s Noah’s decision,” I replied finally. “I’d be grateful that he would take Bridget in and protect her.”
Alena moved to my side and wrapped an arm around my waist. “It’s a great place, maybe she’ll even grow close to Noah and the guys.” A note of anticipation rang in his words.
She was right. Maybe Bridget and the Second Chance guys would hit it off. They were a tough pack to relax after being burned by Lara. Their walls were thick and made of steel. But they had a huge soft spot for omegas.
Bridget would love the quiet peace of Montana. It would be good for her.
And she’d be safe. That was the most important thing.
“Is she there now?” Alena asked as her fingers wiggled their way under the fabric of my shirt. I loved the feel of her soft skin against mine.
“I have her somewhere safe until we can make arrangements.” John drained his second drink.
Elias cleared his throat and arched one brow at his cousin. “You know, now that we know about Dreamscape, we’ll want to be involved, right?”
