Fuck. Don’t prove Wolf right and have something happen to us. All I wanted was a day out without constant guarding.We will be okay if I can get out of the parking lot.

Spotting a large group of teenagers heading toward the exit into the parking structure, I decided to follow. Unfortunately, they parked way too close to the doors and I was left walking alone before reaching the safety of my car.

Fuck.

My dragon could fight off an attacker but if I was faced with multiple, I might be a bit in trouble. We still hadn’t even figured out who that omega was who tried to start trouble between Wolf and me. Goddess, I was dumb for leaving this morning without a guard.

I hurried my steps, pushing the stroller faster when the trunk of our car appeared. I was thankful that the baby carriers could easily be lifted out of the stroller and the diaper bag was already over my shoulder. I could leave the stroller and shopping bags here as long as my babies got to safety. Sadly, I never made it. Right when I went to open the car, the twins let out a warning cry, but they were too late. A second later, my world went black.

Chapter Seventeen

Wolf

Someone had my mate and children. If one hair on their heads was harmed, someone would die.

I knew GSC should handle it. But I would kill if my family was hurt. The pack, coven, and clan had my back, too.

“We’ll get them back, brother.” Zander put his hand on my shoulder but would comfort me until I got my mate and twins back.

“I’m terrified, Zander,” I confessed.

“I understand that.” Zander sent a glance to his mate. The sharp, acid scent of fear radiated off him.

“I’m also pissed at Ollie.”

“Because he didn’t listen?”

“Exactly.” I pinched the bridge of my nose and huffed out an aggravated breath. “Then the guilt hits me. He’s missing. I’m worried but also wanting to pull him across my lap and paddle his damn ass.”

Fuck.

Zander nodded. “Yep, that sounds about right.”

“How do I get over that anger?”

“For now, concentrate that rage on the fuckers who took your mate and children.” Zander looked across the room to where his mate was talking to other team members. “Then, once your family is safe and sound, Rayne and I will babysit your twins.”

“Okay?” Where was he going with this?

“Make sure your omega understands why he needs to listen to his alpha sometimes.”

Of course. Demanding your mate to listen to you unconditionally was stupid. We wanted independent mates who had backbones and could defend themselves. We avoided pushover omegas who followed their alphas’ rules unthinkingly. But they should recognize that sometimes we have solid reasons for requesting what we did for them.

“Right now, I just need them back with me.”

“Are you fools done talking about spanking?” Rayne approached us. “I think I have the location of these fuckers. But I don’t want to hear about Wolf’s sex life.”

“I understand,” I replied.

“So, stop talking about it and find these fuckers.” Rayne gestured for us to follow him to our cousin Simon who had been taking the lead on tracking my family down.

“Simon, tell these two what you told me.” Rayne sat next to him while Zander and I stood behind them.

“Trying to find these fuckers wasn’t as difficult as I thought. Thankfully you had those small trackers placed inside the babies’ carriers. We could follow them to this location once we saw that they were still active.” Simon pointed to the spot on his screen showing the carriers’ location.

Rayne, Zander, and I strategized for the next few hours while we sent our cousins out to scope the area. Going in blind would only lead to possible casualties, even though my beast wanted me to charge in to take back our family. We still weren’t sure who was behind it or how many people were involved, so we had to be extra diligent in watching each other’s backs.

“Do we know who could be behind all of this?” our cousin Jared asked as we approached the compound that the tracker led us to.
