Page 58 of Knot All Is Lost: Part 2

I didn’t bother listening to the end of that sentence, having the name of the person I needed to call. “Hey, it’s Bodhi.” Was the answer I got after three rings. “We’re at the shelter, Cambrie’s fucking dad showed up and found her.”

“Is the bastard still alive?” I questioned.

“Unfortunately,” Bodhi grumbled. “I hope I broke a few of his ribs though with one of the kicks I landed, and I’m pretty sure Oscar broke his nose. Rafael said he had to stay alive long enough for us to prosecute.”

“I suppose I see his reasoning. Is she alright?” I asked as I whipped the truck around, tires screeching as I slammed on the gas. “I’m on my way to the shelter, I know you have security there that better have fucking called the cops, but I want to speak to that sonofabitch.”

“We’ll see what we can do, but I’m not sure they’ll listen to me,” Bodhi pointed out.

I let out a growl of frustration, slamming my fist against the wheel. “I’m going to hang up and call you right back once I’m done talking to the police, got it?”

“I won’t put the phone down,” he said.

Hanging up, I called the main switchboard. “Oscad Capital City police, how may I direct your call.”

“This is Savo Bakal, I need to speak with Lieutenant Provenza,” I ordered.

“One moment while I transfer your call.”

The line rang twice before Provenza answered. “Savo, what can I do for you and the CoF today?”

“Official Stone’s Omega was attacked today at the Open Arms shelter, their main location. I believe uniforms should already be there, or on their way. I need to speak with that man before they take him away and charge him with kidnapping, assault, and child endangerment, as well as concealing an Omega from the government.”

Provenza didn’t speak right away. “Official Stone has an Omega?”

“Yes, he does, they just bonded with her this weekend, and went to the shelter with some of her other Alphas, Rafael, and Oscar, when she was assaulted. Do you have more questions or are you going to call your men and hold the man there for me to question?” I snarled.

No one but the pack and Rick knew what I truly was and for right now I wanted to keep it that way, until the announcement. Things needed to be handled with Yoram first, then, we could give the public a dose of happy sharing that the beloved Official now had an Omega.

“Let me put you on hold, and then once the message has been relayed, I’ll let you know,” Provenza offered.

“No need, I’m almost there myself. I just didn’t want to cause more chaos when I demanded to speak to the man,” I explained.

“Very well, I’ll make sure they understand the situation,” Provenza promised, then hung up.

I called Bodhi back, and he let me speak to Cambrie, who sounded completely shell shocked. If I could have driven any faster to get to her, I would have, but getting myself killed wouldn't do anyone any good. Finally, I arrived at the shelter and saw the cop car out front with the lights flashing and two men standing outside chatting as I roared into the parking lot.

Tossing the truck into park, I got out and stormed up to the vehicle that held the one man I wanted to kill with my own two hands. Yoram was a piece of shit, but this man had nearly broken myKeksík,and for that he would suffer. “Open the door,” I barked.

“Are you Savo?” one of the men asked, unable to meet my gaze, letting me know I wasn’t controlling my Alpha energy.

“Yes, I am, now open the goddamn door and walk away until I tell you it’s time to take him to booking,” I ordered.

There was a click of the locks and the two cops went to stand a few paces away, but still close enough if I needed them. Yanking the door open, I slid into the car next to the bastard who dared to use the name Father for myKeksík.

“Who the hell are you?” he demanded.

I gave him a toothy grin that I’m sure came across more as baring my teeth. “Why, I’m one of Cambrie’s Alphas, Savo Bakal. I also happen to be the son of General Rasvan, who taught me all sorts of ways to torture a man.”

Reaching out, I grabbed one of his hands and broke his pointer finger, making him howl in pain. “You fucking lunatic, you can’t treat me like this.”

“Oh, so it’s fine to beat and abuse a little girl but I can’t break a grown man’s finger? Tell me, how does that math work out in your head? That beautiful angel did nothing but look after you and take her lumps, never once selling you out, when she could have with one simple word to the authorities. No, I think you’re a lunatic and I’m going to break every finger in your hand. Maybe the other, just so you’ll never forget what hurting a woman feels like every time you try to do something with your hands,” I informed the bastard.

His eyes grew wide and panicked as he fully understood that he was at my mercy and nothing was going to stop me from exacting my revenge. His screams grew louder and more frantic as I got done with one hand. I felt like now might be a good time to find out a few answers.

“Tell me, why did you keep her after her mother died? You didn’t have to, hell, why would you even want to?” I asked.

The man sobbed like a baby, snot dripped from his nose as tears trailed down his cheeks. “On her deathbed that bitch told me whose child she was. Mentioned if she turned out to be an Omega, I had to make sure he never found her. What I heard was she’d be worth a lot of fucking money to the man. I had to wait until she was sixteen to know if she was gonna be an Omega or not. When her designation came in she tried to run, I would have sold her to him sooner but I couldn’t get close to him. It wasn’t until I started putting her up on auction sites on the black market he reached out. Apparently, it’s known that he’s the biggest buyer when it comes to Omegas, uses them for some fucked up type of experiments.”
