I close my eyes, feeling such a rush of emotion. “I love you, Missy.”

“I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. Darion said I was an idiot, and he’s right. I just didn’t think anyone was going to be good enough for either of you. I was wrong. Go save her. Bring her over to meet the family.”

I sniffle and nod my head.

Sven snatches the phone out of my hand. “Kandi can’t talk now. Get your asses moving!”

Missy makes a sound of annoyance, but it’s too late. Sven hangs up on her.

“Ready for this?” Sven asks.

“Yes,” I growl.

We drive in silence, while I pull out my weapons and slide them onto my person. Thank god for the hidden compartment. I’m going to kiss Lukas next time I see him.

“Do you think he’ll hurt her?” I ask.

Sven looks at me, and his face softens. “No, babe, he needs to keep her pretty to trade for whatever it is he’s after. He can’t hurt her too badly. Are you thinking about your hospital stay?”

I shrug. “I don’t want to see her hurt like I was.”

“We won’t let that happen. And I won’t let that happen to you again, either.”

I reach across and put my hand on his thigh. “Hey, Alpha, did I tell you I loved you today?”

He grins, but it fades. “You’re my best friend, Kandi, the one I can rely on. You get me. I should have told you.”

“So, you love me, too?” I ask softly.

“More than I can express in words.”

I swallow the lump in my throat and clear it hard twice. “Let’s get our girl.”

We pull up, and a moment later, another car screeches to a halt. Adrian gets out, all long limbs and more pissed off than I've ever seen him. I’m actually impressed. The doctor is freaky.

“How did you get here so fast?” Sven snaps.

“I don’t have a license anymore, I think I ran every red light from our place to here,” Adrian says and shoulders past us to the door. “This prick is dead. You hear me, dead. Comes into my home, takes my omega.”

I finally notice Adrian’s doctor bag in his hand. My smile is pure evil when I hug the huge alpha.

“You two try to cut off access from the windows. I’ll go up the stairs.” Sven barks out and his tone, though it used to drive me mad, now leaves me relieved. Sven is in his working mode.

“It will be faster and safer if Sven is the distraction and we sneak in.” I say to Adrian.

“Darion, take care of those cameras of Adrian flying across the city,” Sven barks into his phone.

Sven disappears into the building. I point and start climbing the stairs. There are questionable wobbles in places, but otherwise, they are in better shape than they look.

I peer in on each level, but it’s on the ninth that I see them. Jade’s got a beam of sunlight shining on her. She looks like a fairy again. My beautiful omega fairy.

“How are we doing this?” I ask Adrian.

“You take him down and get me access to his arm. I’ll make him gone.”

I grin at the man beside me. “You got it. Sneaking in. We need surprise. Follow me, Alpha.”

Adrian follows my lead.
