Chapter 26 #2
“No, no, it’s okay." I tell him. Ricky is a good looking man. Tall, well built, and only a few years older than me. He’s a good man, he’s always treated me well during my heats, but now that I look at him, it doesn’t sit right with me that I’ve had sex with this man.
“I’m going to be doing my heat alone this time. ”
“Oh. Okay. Are you sure?”
“Yup.” I laugh. “I’ve been seeing someone, it’s getting serious and while they’re not helping me with my heat, I don’t feel right sharing it with other people.”
“Understandable.” he nods. “Well, I wish you all the best. Have a safe heat and we’ll see you in a week.”
“Thank you.”
As I get back into my car and head towards the compound, I know two things. I need to find out why Chris’s past records have been sealed to find out what he’s hiding, and I need to tell my pack what Chris said.
I’m just hoping whatever he is hiding will be bad enough to take away the guilt of knowing that I’m going to be the reason Chris dies.
I’m not sure how to feel about it. It should make me sick that my Alpha is a killer, but it doesn’t. He’s my Alpha. As long as he’s not hurting innocent people, I know a fucked up part of me will look past it.
When Ian used his Alpha bark, telling me everything, I felt gross and a little violated, but none of what he said changed my mind about how I felt about them.
I just think it’s ironic that I’m a cop and I’m mated to a man who is not just a criminal, but a killer.
When I pull up to the compound gates, I park the car and get out.
I’m a little nervous because I don't know what to expect. I’ve seen motorcycle clubs on TV, and I’ve seen the Steel Devils driving around town. It’s nothing I can’t handle. I’ve dealt with my fair share of dangerous men but my heart still races when I step up to the gate.
“What the fuck do you want?” A man with black hair and a leather jacket asks me.
“I’m here to see Nick.”
“Who are you?”
“My name is Tucker.”
“Do you have a last name?” He cocks a brow.
“Davis?”
“Wait. You mean as in Detective Davis?” he growls. “The fuck does a cop think he’s doing sniffing around here? Get lost.”
“I need to see Nick.” I can’t just say he’s my Alpha. I don’t know what Nick has told people and I don’t want to cause any issues.
“And I want a girlfriend who lets me fuck her in the ass. We don’t always get what we want.”
My brows raise as I cross my arms. “I can see why.”
“Fuck off.” he growls.
Seeing I’m not getting anywhere with this guy, I pull my phone out and call Nova.
“Hey you. What's up?”
“I’m outside the gate.”
“Wait, you’re here? Why? Not that I care. Just, you sure you wanna be here?”
“I’ll be fine. I just need to get in and the guy who’s guarding it, who apparently can’t get his girlfriend to let him fuck her in the ass, won’t let me in to see Nick.”
Nova laughs. “Put me on speaker phone.”
I press the button. “You're on.”
“Hey, numb nuts. Let my Omega in before I come down to the gate and chop your tiny dick off.”
The guy’s cheeks heat. “Who the fuck are you?”
“It’s Nova. God, are you stupid? I know you’re new here, but you should know who I am by now.”
The guy lets out an annoyed breath but opens the gate. “Try anything funny and it’s the last thing you'll do.” The guy says.
“Oh, big man on campus here. How about you chill the fuck out and stop threatening my pack member if you want to keep your patch.”
“Fuck.” His eyes widen, looking from me, to the phone and back to me.
I smile and give him a wink before I head down the dirt road. I’m not sure what to expect, but I know I’m doing what needs to be done.
When I get to the clubhouse, Nova is waiting for me. I can’t help but smile as she runs over and jumps into my arms. “Hey you. Missed you.” She kisses me and I groan, my cock hardening.
“Missed you too.”
“So, why are you here? It’s gotta be important if you’ve got the balls to come down here.”
“Do you know anyone who could hack into the St. Mary’s precinct system and unseal someone’s file?”
She grins. “I just so happen to know a guy.”
***
“Holy fucking shit.” Nova gasps. “This man is a sadistic little fuck. And you work with him?” Nova looks from the screen to me. “How the fuck is this man even allowed to be a police officer?”
“I have no fucking clue.” I growl. “But he shouldn’t be. He should be locked up for the rest of his fucking life.”
“Or dead.” The man who hacked into the files says. His name is Rafe, Nova said he’s the guys cousin.
At first he wasn’t going to help out because he knows who I am, but I told him that when I dropped the case, this guy, Chris, wanted to keep it going, he obliged.
I sure as fuck wasn’t expecting to see what I’m seeing.
“This monster was able to rape and beat three little girls for years, from the ages of thirteen to sixteen. But because he was a minor, all he had to do was some time in juvie, and some ‘treatment’ and he was good to go.” Rafe growls, shaking his head. “That’s fucking disgusting.”
Disgusting doesn’t even describe it.
“What’s going on?” Nick’s voice has my heart racing as my head snaps up. Fuck, he looks good today. His blond hair is messy and he’s letting his beard grow out a little bit.
Nova grins at me over her shoulder and I blush, because I know she can feel my growing erection under her ass right now. I can’t help it. She’s seen this man. I know if she had a dick she would be hard around him all the time too.
“We have a problem." Nova tells him.
Nick crosses his arms, narrowing his eyes at me. “Why the fuck are you here?”
“Hey. He’s pack, he can be here.”
“He’s a fucking cop.”
“A cop who brought us information that's going to save your pack.” Rafe says. “I don’t know what's going on between all of you, but if what Nova says is true, you should have some respect for the Omega. Don’t treat him like the enemy unless he’s given you a reason to.”
“You’re joking, right? I had you look into him; you followed him. You know what he was doing.”
“Was. He stopped the moment he found out you were his Alpha.” Rafe looks to Nova and she nods.
Nick shoots her a glare but she just smiles and flips him off.
“So you’re on his side?” Nick growls.
“No, I’m on the side of respecting your Omegas.
” Rafe stands. I like this guy. He’s cute, too.
“I understand the circumstances of how everything happened, but if he was a bad guy, he wouldn’t still be breathing.
So, man the fuck up, have a converstion with your Omegas, and I’ll get some men together to pay Officer Chris Druggin a visit.
” Rafe grunts before leaving the office.
Nick watches him go before looking back to me and Nova. She leans into me and I wrap my arms around her, kissing her neck.
His jaw ticks before he nods towards the computer. “What are you looking at and why are we paying your cop buddy a visit?”
“He isn’t my buddy.” I narrow my eyes at him. “And what's on the computer is me proving to you that I’m not your enemy. But this fucker,” I turn the laptop around, “is.”
Brows furrowed, he leans over and reads what's on the screen. “What the fuck?” His furious eyes flick up to ours. “And he’s a fucking cop?”
“Not for much longer.” Nova says.
“Why are you here, why are you showing us this?”
“Because he came to me today letting me know he was going to do whatever it takes to keep your case open and be the one to solve it. Even if it means putting Nova at risk. I won’t allow that to happen, so I wanted to look into him more before I told you.”
“And what, if he was a good guy you would let it go?” Nick growls.
“No, but I would have tried harder to get him to drop it before getting him killed. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to be okay with murder just because I’m mated to someone who is a killer.
It’s not how this works. However, I am willing to look the other way if needed, like now.
This is my pack. You are my Alpha. Nova is my Omega.
I meant what I said, I'd never let you guys go to jail and I’d never let anything happen to this pack.
I don’t know what else I can do to prove that to you, but this is something.
Chris is the last string keeping this case alive, and as long as he’s alive, he won’t stop until it’s solved.
I don’t know why, and I don’t care why, but I won’t sit back and let him fuck with my pack. Do you hear me?”
Nick’s nostrils flare and I try to ignore Nova’s perfume but my girl seems to get aroused by pretty much anything we do.
“Nick.” Nova says in a warning tone.
“Thank you.” Nick says, surprising the fuck out of me. “For bringing this to our attention. For not letting this fucker mess with our pack.”
“So you believe me? That I’m not the enemy? That I’m not a threat to you or this pack?”
His jaw grinds but he nods. “Yes.”
“Thank fuck. Now, can we work on our relationships?” Nova says. “Most importantly, yours.”
“Fine.” Nick grunts.
“I’d like that.” I kiss her on the cheek. Getting to my feet, I go to Nick. “This pack is my life now, and if it means going against my job to keep my pack safe, I will. Whatever you choose to do with Chris, I don’t want to know, but I won’t ask questions.”
Nick nods.
“Let’s let the big bad bikers handle this.” Nova takes my hand. “Let me show you around.” Nova pauses at the door. “Oh, and if anyone fucks with Tucker, I will be telling them you are his Alpha. Is that okay?”
Nick takes a deep breath and nods. “Yes. If they fuck with Tucker, tell them to come see me.”
Nova grins, and I can’t help it when my heart feels like it’s fucking exploding.
Maybe things between me and Nick will work out, after all. I hope so because I’ve already fallen hard for Nova, and I know I’m going to fall hard for the asshole Alpha president. I can already feel it in my soul.
