“Please,” I whisper. “Please.”
This door leads up to our families, packs, and freedom.
To our new futures.
Suddenly, with a creak, the door that leads to the Above swings open.
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Feral Nest, Haven, The Above
One month later…
“I never imaginedthat the sky could be so big. I’m still not used to it.” Moonlight kisses across my upturned face. “The moon is so bright.”
I stare out of the window that runs the entire length of the Omega Chamber up at the evening sky.
So, this is what it’s like to live Above, rather than in the shadows.
To be free.
Our new home looks out over Bond Street, which runs through the center of Haven, which is a small town.
Haven lies in the shadow of mountains. It is surrounded by lush forests.
It is large enough to hide in but small enough to be safe from the harassment of government officials.
It also has one main advantage: The coffee shop run by Harbinger’s Omega siblings is over the road.
The secret is that the coffee shop is actually the center of the Bonds Protective Unit, the BPU, which is a branch of the Omega resistance.
The Wolf pack investigate cases (like Laurent’s), where people are being forced into bonds against their will, then arrange rescue missions.
Bliss and Piper, Harbinger’s Omega siblings who run the BPU, are as awesome as Harbinger is and just as brave.
Also, just as much of a handful.
I already love them both like they’re my own brother and sister.
Some of their missions are legendary.
Inspiring.
Dangerous.
I admire Harbinger that he encourages these Omegas to follow in his parent’s footsteps, despite all of them knowing that his parents paid with their lives.
In the Underworld, I felt alone.
The outcast.
The only example that I had of Omega behavior was my simpering sister. But now, I’m surrounded by smart and courageous Omegas.
Finally, I feel like I fit in.
Tonight, I’m already dressed for bed in kitten pajamas. Harbinger has bought me half a dozen variations but these are my favorite because they include a cartoon wolf chasing the cute kitten.
I have a sneaking feeling that they’re Harbinger’s favorite as well.
