“It’s fine,” he tells her, forcing calm into his tone. “Go back to sleep, cupcake.”

“Fuck off. Who is it?” She might be less happy to be woken up than anybody.

“Seth. He’s fine. You’re fine, right?” he asks me.

“No.”

More teeth grinding. He’s going to break one off someday. “What happened?” It sounds less like a question than it does a reprimand.

“I think I found my pack, and my omega,” I pause to let his snarl clear the air. Then continue. “Flores took them. Took all three of them. He threw Michael in the trunk and drove him off somewhere, I couldn’t keep up. They have her. I don’t know where.” With every word, Devon’s growl increases in volume. Jasper is fully awake now and both he and Talia are rapid-firing questions at Devon, which doesn’t help anything.

“Just hang on a goddamned minute, fuck,” he whisper-hisses at them, then asks me. “You don’t know where? Are you sure about them? Have you mentioned this to Kaleb? Is Minos in on it?”

I shake my head even though he can’t see it. “No, I didn’t tell Kaleb anything, I don’t know why. I’m sure. I’m so fucking sure, Devon. I feel like I can’t breathe right now.”

“Did you mark her?” He interrupts.

Then I hear a loud gasp, then what sounds like a little bit of a struggle, then Talia’s on the line, her voice sharp with worry. "What's wrong?"

"I need help."
