“Well, you did a poor fucking job guarding her,” said Jade and I sighed. “Her mother is worried sick as well and at my house. She said she’d been at Lacy’s house and…”
“Let me talk to him,” said another female voice. Good, this was probably Lacy’s mother. She didnotsound happy. “Hello, guard, I’m Vanessa. Lacy’s mother.”
“I’m Ryder,” I said. “I don’t have much time. I need to find her.”
“Please tell me what happened,” said Vanessa, sounding like she was on the verge of tears. “I can’t lose another baby of mine. I couldn’t sleep for days. Why haven’t you been able to guard her?”
“She fired us,” I sighed. “Listen, we’re doing everything we can.”
“I always told her that her temper will be her downfall,” said Vanessa, sighing. “Olivia is also missing. We tried calling both of them. Our husbands are out searching the entire island as well.”
“I will do my best,” I reassured both mothers before hanging up. I could feel the pain in their voices and the urgency.
We had to find Lacy first and foremost.
“Damn,” said Cooper, who was listening to everything at the door.
I rubbed my face with frustration.
“Where the fuck did he take her?!” I shouted as I paced around the room. I was tempted to rush out and knock down every door on the island to find her. But if we ran around willy-nilly around the island, it would waste more time. She was probably scared to death. I remembered how she hugged me when we came to her rescue once. And the relief in her eyes upon seeing me.
Looking at her phone, I called Olivia’s number again. It was useless trying that.
“If Lacy and Olivia were taken to the same location, that would be crazy,” said Cooper.
“Wait…if they’re in the same location,” I said, my mind spinning. “Think you can trace Olivia’s phone?”
I couldn’t believe it when we found the location tracing the phone. The drive took two hours, leading us to a remote location.
The two glass buildings looked like it was in the middle of the fucking desert with no hint of civilization around. It was guarded by a formidable perimeter of coiled barbed wire and vigilant security detail in every corner. We stopped the truck on the side of the road.
“I’ll take just Ethan with me,” I told them.
“What the hell?” said Cooper.
I’ve heard of operations like this. These were different types of alphas. They were elitists who looked down on every other type of werewolf. I didn’t want to take the risk, but I didn’t want to tell him that either.
“It’ll draw less attention, and I’d like the oldest to accompany me,” I said, staring at the barrier and werewolves prowling. They hadn’t seen us since we parked farther away, but they’d see us immediately once we started walking. “I’ll give you a call once we get Lacy and Olivia out of there. We only came for Lacy, but I promised Olivia’s mom.”
“Don’t do anything reckless,” said Adrian. “I swear if you mess anything up…”
“I won’t,” I said. “Wait for my call or text.”
“Do you even have a plan, or are you just going to barge in there?” asked Lucas.
No. I didn’t have a plan, but my pack didn’t need to know that.
“Just standby. If we get trapped for longer than three days, send in reinforcements. Tell our boss what happened.”
“Three days?!” said Adrian. “We need to buy more snacks and food.”
“Alright, see you, Ryder,” said Lucas, clapping me on the back. “Be careful out there.”
Ethan and I walked around the armored van and along the walkway to the camp. There was only one entrance between the barbed wire. A tall gate guarded by four werewolves fully shifted into werewolf forms, and two alpha guards had their guns out upon seeing us.
“What’s your business here?” called one of them, aiming directly at me.
My pulse pounded as I raised my arms above my head. I had left all my weapons back in the van just in case. I didn’t want to seem like a threat. I was here to pick up my Lacy and go home.
