Page 9 of Untamed Omega

“The omega who he brought to us. I have questions. I…”

Brewer cleared his throat and I heard footsteps. He must’ve been walking into or out of a room. “Just ask me; I saw him as well. Reggie’s a busy alpha.”

“I know. I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important. I think this omega is someone I knew before. I need all the information I can get. Anything. The smallest detail might help more than you know. All I’m asking is for five minutes.”

“I just walked into his office. Give me two seconds.” There was a noise over the line, and two seconds turned into fifteen. “Five minutes. That’s it.”

“Thank you.”

More noises indicated the phone was being handed off. “This is Alpha Reggie. Markus?”

“This is Markus, yes. Thank you for speaking with me. I have some questions about the omega who’s in our care now.”

“Go on.”

“Where did you find him? Was he shifted? Was there any indication of where he came from?”

Reggie chuckled. I knew my questions were fired fast, but he had given me five minutes. “We found him on the south end of our lands. He was not shifted. And no, we have no indication of where he came from, but we’re assuming it was from the same mass breakout that Kellan did. Anything else?”

“Yes. Is there…can I have a copy of the security video from that night? I need as much info as possible to treat him.”

Reggie made a noise. “I supposed we could do that. Are you sure this is all in the name of healing? Sounds like you have skin in the game.”

I let out a sigh. There was no point in hiding it. “I think he could be someone from my past. I really just want to help him. No ill intentions. I promise.”

“Then I’ll get it sent over. Anything else? This was hardly five minutes, healer.”

“Any details you think would help?”

“Hmmm. If I think of anything, I’ll have Brewer relay the information. Take care, Markus. I hope you find what you seek.”

Reggie hung up, and not only was I relieved that the video would be sent over but doubly so that he didn’t tear me up for requesting his time in the first place.

I knew it would take time for the video to be pulled from their system and then sent to me, so I decided to go check on Sam in the meantime. The cottage was part clinic and part myhome, separated by a door. I walked through it, and my heart fell to my toes.

Sam’s bed was empty. The IV was removed. I sprinted to the bathroom but he wasn’t there either.

Shit! If he’d run while I wasn’t watching him, that would add a thousandth layer of why I would never forgive myself. Why some days I hated looking at my own reflection in the mirror.

I flung open the door that led outside, and my bear caught his scent. He’d gone outside but that could mean anything. It could mean he was with someone, or it could mean he was gone from my life forever.

“Sam!” I called out and received no answer.

Find him,I ordered my bear.If he is our mate, find him.

I only had to tell him once. He took over my senses, and we followed the omega’s scent until we reached the alpha house. The smell of roasted pork and potatoes and vegetables reached my nose. Dinnertime. A bunch of people were talking as usual. Our community seemed to be growing by the day. Kellan and Locke had given us all hope that everyone deserved and had a mate. Fate would always make a way, even for those who were broken.

I closed my eyes and focused on the voices. In a hushed tone, barely audible among the rest of them, was my mate. Sam. There was Sam. My bear was happy he was there, among our people. And if he was in there, he was eating. All good things, but it was strange not to be there with him.

The evidence pointed to the fact that maybe this was my mate but, of course, I would need more before I broke the news to him. After everything he’d been through, there was a chance he wouldn’t remember me. That he might never remember me. That he wouldn’t want me as his mate any longer.

Go to him and we will see. Let him be the judge. Let me help you.

I relented. My bear knew more than I on the matters of mates.
