Page 407 of Omega for the Pack

“She sounded scared,” I said.

“Understandably so,” said Cooper, whose hands were impatiently gripping the steering wheel. “Someone tried to break into her home.”

I could tell he was itching to search her house and rip apart any degenerate lurking about. When we finally parked in frontof her home, Lacy was standing outside, wringing her hands together. There was a sharp intake of breath from the men as we all gazed at her.

Adrian whistled under his breath.

She was a petite omega, shorter than average. Her short, ruffled skirt stopped above her thighs. My heart started pumping faster at the sight of her thighs exposed like that.Fuck, I needed to get a handle on myself. I couldn’t have this type of reaction my first time meeting her. I pushed my erection down before exiting the vehicle.

I sobered up when I saw the fear and uncertainty in her eyes as we approached her.

LACY

My heart raced when I watched the guards approaching me from the driveway. I could tell instantly who the two deltas were. They towered over the rest of the men at eight feet tall. The three others were alphas, but one looked younger than the rest.

I didn’t care, though. I just needed them for protection, and that was it.

The alpha leading them shook my hand first.

The long scar on his forehead and tattoos on his upper arms looked intimidating, but I shook his hand firmly. I was a successful omega who survived for years without an alpha. I had to repeat that over and over in my head not to show any weakness.

“Thank you for coming,” I said, smiling politely. He didn’t smile back at all, and I wondered what the hell was wrong with him.Where were his basic manners?Maybe they raised them tough at the bodyguard service.

“You’re welcome,” he said. “Name’s Ryder. And you’re Lacy, correct?”

“Yes,” I said. I shook hands with each of the bodyguards as they introduced themselves. Ethan had a short red beard andlooked like he was the oldest from the pack. His mannerism was gentlemanly, kissing my hand during our introduction.

“I’m Adrian,” said the youngest one of the group, his black hair messy around his shoulders. “I may be the youngest, but I’m not lacking. You can trust me with your life.”

I laughed at his frankness.

“I’m trusting you,” I said.

Adrian winked, and their alpha leader, Ryder, rolled his eyes. I already liked Adrian. He had that type of personality I got along with. He was easygoing and didn’t take himself too seriously.

“Enough flirting,” said Ryder gruffly. “Take us through what happened. What did you see or hear?”

I took a deep breath, remembering all the crazy events that happened in the past two days. I told him everything I could remember, even the creepy voicemail.

“So now I’m scared to sleep in my house because he could be in any of the rooms,” I said.

Saying it out loud sounded so ridiculous I was embarrassed.

“The pack will do a check of your home,” said Ryder without blinking an eye. “Guys, check every room and cranny. We need to make sure the vagrant isn’t still lurking about.”

I led them inside the house and watched them all go in different directions. The delta named Cooper checked the outside, and Lucas went upstairs. Adrian and Ethan headed downstairs to check out the basement and theater.

“I feel much safer already,” I said to Ryder, who stood with me in the kitchen as he stared at the note on the counter without touching it.

“Do you know who could have written this note?” he asked, taking several pictures of it and placing it in a bag while wearing gloves.

“Not really,” I said. “This never happened before.”

“With the string of omega cases on the news- anything is possible,” he said, pocketing the note. “First thing is we need to install cameras in your home. I’m surprised you didn’t install any. A high-profile singer such as yourself needs it.”

“Umm, yeah,” I said. “I didn’t have time to look into that. But yes, you’re right.”
