I turn the doorknob and enter the bedroom before I can stop myself.
Omega washes over me, almost knocking me on my ass.
Which is ridiculous.
Her scent isn’t even fresh, but it affects me the same as if she was right in front of me.
I understand why Landon and River are enamored with her.
The fierce determination in her eyes. The independence.
The loyalty to her friend and her job.
And that fucking scent.
My inner Alpha all but roars, finally freed from his cage.
I only spent a few minutes in her presence, and she’s affected me.
I can’t even imagine how River and Landon feel.
And the fact that she could even bring them together says something about who she is, too.
It’s all starting to make sense.
I recognize the specialty Omega bed she has and almost smile.
She deserves nice things, a quiet voice inside me says, as I observe the silk pillowcases and abundance of fluffy pillows.
My eyes scan her dresser, tidy and dust-free. A small stack of papers sits on the dark wood surface, and I carefully look through them.
Recipes.
My lip quirks.
I haven’t done this in so long. I haven’t tried to learn about someone through their possessions or whatever they leave behind.
Yet I feel like I’m understanding Skylar more and more every second I stay in her house.
And the more I’m determined to find out what happened to her, and where the fuck she is.
Mine, a possessive voice snarls inside. Someone took her from me.
But before I can focus on my reaction, Ben enters the room, looking at his phone with his brow furrowed.
“Hey,” he says urgently. “I’m not supposed to show you this, but um…” he hands me his phone, his expression weary. “Forensics just got back to us from another county. Look at the results of this. A new batch of O.”
I read the report and my stomach churns.
“Fuck,” I whisper.
We have to find Skylar.
Now.
