Chapter 69
SIXTY-NINE
KAOS
I awoke to find something was missing. Something precious.
In fact, I was certain it was the most precious thing ever, and it wasn’t here with me.
How on earth could I lose something like that?
I sat up, pushing through the fear and the panic.
I was in the dark, which was…nice. And somewhere soft and warm that smelled like heaven.
My alpha brain was panicking because—?
I tried to pull together the fractured pieces of my mind to focus, gathering them up and ordering them to behave.
This was important.
There was an empty space beside me, and as I studied it, the memories came back.
Her.
Omega.
She’d been here, curled up in my arms while she’d entrusted me with her pain.
While I’d made it better.
But now she was gone, and I scrambled for my backpack, switching on my laptop.
She was out there with the bastards who had hurt her last night.
Completely unacceptable.
My laptop took an infuriatingly long time to boot up, no doubt expressing its displeasure that I’d let her slip through my fingers.
I’m sorry, I told it. I need to find her, though, please help me.
It relented, finally letting me in, and I pulled up the software that tracked the bug I’d put on her phone.
