Page 455 of Omega for the Pack

I shook my head as we headed to our armored truck. I grinned as I followed behind them. I wanted to apologize and do everything else necessary to see her beautiful face again. Or at least end as friends. This non-communication was hurting me and my pack.But was I ready for her ultimate rejection of me?I knew I didn’t look like the typical alpha she’d date, but I had to try at least.

When we pulledup to Lacy’s house- confusion set in when we saw the open gate.

“She wouldn’t leave the gate open just like that,” said Lucas. We all sat up in alarm, and I immediately dialed her number on my phone. I tried calling her once on our way to her house, but she didn’t answer. I assumed she was still angry at me.

I hopped out when Adrian parked the truck, as adrenaline flowed through my body. I jogged to her front door and knocked.

No answer.

I rang the doorbell, standing there for a few seconds. Nothing.

“Call her band or something if anyone has the number,” I told my pack. If she had simply forgotten to close the gate, it wouldn’t be a problem. But in my gut, I knew something was off. I looked around the door for anything that could be off, but as I twisted the doorknob, I realized it was open.

Shit.

She would never leave the door unlocked. Guns out, we carefully walked inside.

“We need to split up and see if she’s anywhere. Try not to be loud in case he’s here holding her in one of the rooms,” I said. We all split in different directions, and I immediately bounded up the stairs to her room. The door was wide open, and my heart sank when I saw her messy bed and broken lamp. She would never leave her things in disarray like this.

Something terrible happened when I left her. Every second I spent here meant she was suffering somewhere else. I saw her phone on the bed and carefully walked inside, not wanting to destroy any evidence. Picking up the phone, I saw a bunch of missed calls over the last several days.

After watching her put in the password several times, I logged into it and quickly went through her call log. Her mother, who looked exactly like her, had called the most, and someone named Aunt Jade had called her also.

I called her cousin Olivia first since she knew about us working for Lacy. No answer. Now I was really getting worried about this omega. Next, I called Jade before calling Lacy’s mother. I had to gather as much information as possible before reaching out to her.

“Hello,” said Jade. Her voice was frantic and sounded like she’d been crying.

“Hello, Jade?” I said.

“Who’s this?” she asked, sounding panicked. “Are you the kidnapper? I can’t reach my daughter Olivia or Lacy. What did you do to our girls?!”

“I’m not the kidnapper,” I said amidst her yelling. It took her a minute before she decided to start listening. “I’m Lacy’s bodyguard, and I can’t find her anywhere. Do you have a clue of where she might be?”

“Well, you did a poor fucking job guarding her,” said Jade and I sighed. “Her mother is worried sick as well and at my house. She said she’d been at Lacy’s house and…”

“Let me talk to him,” said another female voice. Good, this was probably Lacy’s mother. She didnotsound happy. “Hello, guard, I’m Vanessa. Lacy’s mother.”

“I’m Ryder,” I said. “I don’t have much time. I need to find her.”

“Please tell me what happened,” said Vanessa, sounding like she was on the verge of tears. “I can’t lose another baby of mine. I couldn’t sleep for days. Why haven’t you been able to guard her?”

“She fired us,” I sighed. “Listen, we’re doing everything we can.”

“I always told her that her temper will be her downfall,” said Vanessa, sighing. “Olivia is also missing. We tried calling both of them. Our husbands are out searching the entire island as well.”

“I will do my best,” I reassured both mothers before hanging up. I could feel the pain in their voices and the urgency.

We had to find Lacy first and foremost.

“Damn,” said Cooper, who was listening to everything at the door.

I rubbed my face with frustration.

“Where the fuck did he take her?!” I shouted as I paced around the room. I was tempted to rush out and knock down every door on the island to find her. But if we ran around willy-nilly around the island, it would waste more time. She was probably scared to death. I remembered how she hugged me when we came to her rescue once. And the relief in her eyes upon seeing me.

Looking at her phone, I called Olivia’s number again. It was useless trying that.

“If Lacy and Olivia were taken to the same location, that would be crazy,” said Cooper.
