Caged Between the beta and alpha novel Chapter 82

We walked away from the commotion of the party , the music fading a little , yet it was still loud enough to hear .

He slowed down , falling into step beside me as I quickly ate my dessert .

” So , we get the packhouse .

” He said quietly , sliding his hand out of his pocket and holding out the piece of paper which contained a list of door numbers .

” The ones marked off are those members fully i n the clear .

” I nodded , taking the paper from him .

We had a lot of rooms to search … ” Shall we split when we get there ? There’s a lot of rooms to cover .

Maybe one of us can start from the bottom and the other from the top , although I doubt it would be an Omega .

” I said .

Liam shook his head .

” No one gets a pass .

Everyone is capable .

I n fact , Omega’s have access to a lot of places with ease .

” He said quietly as we entered the packhouse and he slid out a bunch of keys .

” The extra keys .

” Keys that I knew were not meant to be used .

” Where are those usually kept ? ” I asked quietly , although we were alone in the very silent packhouse .

” Dad’s house , in a safe .

” ” So , no one could have accessed them .

” I said , closing the front door behind us as w e headed up the stairs .

” Let’s do a room at a time , it’ll be faster .

” Liam said .

” As for the keys , imprints can b e made with ease .

” I was telling Damon about the picture you got … ” I said , I knew he didn’t know about the rejection and I wasn’t planning on telling him He frowned , I saw the flash of guilt on his face as he took out two anti – scent sprays , handing me one .

Quickly , we sprayed them over ourselves before Liam tried to find the correct key .

” Well , I got pictures of him and Robyn and he got pictures of us two .

” I said quietly as he unlocked the first door and w e stepped inside .

He looked at me sharply .

” What ? When ? ” ” I got mine when I moved to the packhouse , I think I ordered some stuff for my room and there was a thin flat package …

” ” And you never thought to fucking mention that ? ” ” It was of Damon , I didn’t want to make matters worse … ” He sighed .

” I get it .

” He said as we both walked to opposite sides of the rooms and began searching .

I know , I messed up .

Not speaking up was the issue from the start .

2 ” Someone who can walk around with ease … Mine was posted under the door when I stepped out of the bathroom that day .

” He said quietly .

” Strange … ”

” Yeah , so it’s possible it’s someone with ease of access to the packhouse .

” ” Yeah , like someone who lives here … ” He said .

” Mind link the others and tell them t o come help out here .

I don’t know , I feel the killers at this packhouse …

” I frowned , quickly linking the others to come as I removed the bottom drawer , checking behind it , whilst Liam rolled the rug back , checking the floorboards .

With wolfsbane in his system , he was far weaker than normal .

” How’s … the darkness ? ” I asked quietly .

He tensed , before glancing at me .

” It’s there … growing stronger … but I’m trying not to let it get to me .

” He said quietly .

” Great .

” I said , softly .

Fifteen minutes later , we moved to the next room , but I don’t think a three – hour party was going to give us enough time .

W e wouldn’t even cover one floor at this rate .

The other three had come ; Damon was checking the Omega’s rooms on the bottom floor at the back of the packhouse , Zack and Taylor had taken the top floor .

We moved on to the next room ,not talking much as we worked fast .

” There’s less time , isn’t there .

” Liam muttered unlocking the door to Owen’s room , I wrinkled my nose hit with the sweaty smell of male musk and unwashed gym wear .

” Yeah , let’s do what we can , I guess .
