“I also didn’t know that I’d be unable to walk away.” Antonio looks uncomfortable. “I’ll have to hand in my bad guy card.”

All of a sudden, a siren blares out, loudly enough to make me startle.

“Fuck,” I gasp.

What the hell is that?

A warning?

Have the cops found us?

Lark leaps up, looking around for danger.

Antonio springs up as well but he appears more excited than panicked. “It’s the security alarm that’s triggered by the arrival of our Second Alpha. He’s finally home. I’m going to give him the kissing of his life. I’ve fucking missed him. Lucifer is here.”

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Balcony, Devil Estate

Lucifer!

Isn’t that the leader of the Devil pack who Fletcher’s hunting?

The Omega resistance who’ve been attacking the Institute?

Shouldn’t that make them my enemies?

Yet they’re protecting me.

It must be putting them in huge danger. But Kai hasn’t even blinked.

That takes courage.

The Devils are infamous.

When Thomas spoke about them, however, I could tell that he admired them.

I fucking do as well.

To my surprise, I find myself eagerly awaiting the arrival of this Lucifer.

Finally, I’ll get some answers about this mysterious pack.

Perhaps, this new Alpha is the devil but what if he’s actually my fallen angel?

I push closer against Kai’s side with a grin because after my own failed mission, I’m practically a secret resistance member myself.

I’m no longer a good Omega.

I’m a proud rebel.

An outlaw.

I’m ready for my villain era.

I try to subtly gesture across the table at Lark to explain why I’m grinning, but his gaze is fixed intently on the open doorway through to the kitchen.

Excitement thrums through me now in anticipation of seeing the final Alpha and leader of this resistance pack.
