Red and blue lights lit up the street outside the warehouse. Liam had a firm hand on Ruth’s shoulder, as she’d tried to run off at least twice now. The news about Elaine had hit them hard.

Lucas was off by himself, pacing the street and on the phone with Kyle. Liam had already texted Nancy.

Walter was led away and shoved into the back of one of the cars, another officer came for Ruth. She tried to struggle but Liam’s grip tightened until his nails bit into her skin. She hissed out a breath and glared at hin

Liam only let go once he was certain the officers had her. Then kept a close eye as she was led off.

Lucas hung up the phone and came back over. “We still don’t know which way she was taken. It could be any transport truck that’s left the territory in the last twelve hours.”

“Then we search every single one,” Liam growled out, crossing his arms. “You have enough manpower to do it.”

“It wastes time.”

“We have a destination, though. A rogue omega, Walter said. There can only be so many of those,” Liam reasoned, pacing back and forth.

“Rogues are undocumented. If there is a house in the land between pack territories, it won’t be listed anywhere in our own archives. We’ll have no idea where to head, and there are hundreds of miles out there of unclaimed territory.”

Liam growled again in frustration. “There has to be something we can do!”

“I’m working on it.” Lucas only looked away. There was only so much he could do without knowing a location. It bothered him more than he cared to admit. Elaine was out there, somewhere. Probably scared, huddled up in the back of a truck. Going to meet an uncertain fate.

Lucas gritted his teeth. He hated even thinking about it.

“Liam!” a female voice, he looked up. Nancy was getting out of her car. A few officers stepped forward to keep her back, but Liam was already moving to meet her. “I got your text.”

“She’s gone,” Liam said, his voice cracking. “Walter sold her off like property.‘

Lucas‘ gaze shifted back to Walter, ignoring the rest of the conversation between mother and son. Walter sat still in the seat, staring off at nothing. Hands cuffed behind his back in a way that made any position uncomfortable.

Lucas strode over to the car, waving away the officer that was unsuccessfully questioning him.

“Which way?” Lucas asked.

Walter lifted his gaze. “What?”

“Which way did the truck go? Tell me. Now.”

“NOW! Walter. Or I’ll make sure you end up like your son. In the deepest, darkest cell this pack has to offer. Rotting away until you forget what the moon even feels like,” Lucas snapped.

“NO!” Lucas snarled, surging forward and grabbing the collar of Walter’s shirt. He dragged the man out of the cop car. “You lost the right to bargain the moment you sold Elaine out. Keep quiet now, and it won’t matter if there are a dozen witnesses standing here and watching. I will make you regret it.”
