I nod and he continues, “Each of the Omega’s has distinctive features. Each is raped, bound and gagged before they are strangled to death.”
I sigh, shaking my head. Of course this is some kind of vengeful fucking Alpha. Surely this dickhead was turned down at some point and now he feels as though it's his right to take what he wants.
Fuck, when is it not like that. We see the same thing time and time again. Each case only seems to make me angrier and angrier.
“Send Conall through everything we need to know and we will look into it.”
Jaiden nods and shakes my hand before he says his goodbyes.
Once the final fight is finished, I send Ledger off with this group to the gym before I head to the offices in search of Vic.
Even if I didn’t know the warehouse like the back of my hand, Vic’s office would be easy to find. The deep grumble of his voice as he growls out orders into his phone is a dead giveaway.
He is just sitting down with a sigh as I walk into the room. He removes his glasses and swipes a hand over his face before replacing them.
“Seen what that pesky little shit sent us?” I ask as I take a seat in front of the desk.
Vic finally looks up at me. Dark circles rim his eyes as he shakes his head and picks up his phone again.
“No, I only just … that motherfucker!” Vic shouts, shooting up from his chair.
Slamming his hands on the table, he pins me with a look.
“I’m fucking sick of waiting around while our brother gets to spend all the time with our girl. Are you coming?”
I am already out of my chair and walking back towards the door before he is even finished.
“My car or yours?”
We pull up in front of Val’s apartment ten minutes later. There will be numerous speeding fines that Conall will have to erase from the system but that is that last thing on either of our minds. Makes sense that something petty like that would be the punishment that Vic dolls out for stealing our girl away for the last few nights.
It's hard to not hate every single facet of the rundown building. I despise the idea of this being all that Valentina was able to afford. Thatshe had to lower herself to rent this place just so she can put a roof over her daughter's head.
The moment she is mine, she will be taking up residence in our home. I already have bedrooms for both her and Amity picked out and ready for them to move into.
The thought of her being just down the hall from us settles something inside of me, almost more so than being able to actually see her.
I just want her safe.
Safe and away for creeps like this Alpha that is going around and killing Omegas. I guess that is at least one small thing that I don’t have to worry about. Our girl is a Beta.
It doesn't surprise me that Vic knows just which apartment is our girls. His stalker tendencies are elite.
Knocking on the door, we only have to wait a few moments before a bleary eyed Valley is opening the door. She rubs a hand over her face but pauses when she sees us. Her eyes blow wide as she just stares at us in shock.
“Going to let us in,dolce ciliegra?” Vic questions and all but pushes Valley out of the road as he steps into the apartment without waiting for said invitation.
Unlike my pack brother, I wait until my girl looks back at me.
“You can come in,” she mutters, her tone mixed with shock and sleep.
I smile at her as I step inside but come to a quick stop as I lean in, pressing a kiss to her forehead, “Good morning, sweetheart.”
Her breath hitches as I continue inside and take in my surroundings.
Valley’s apartment is just as small and barren as I thought it was going to be. It seems that she only picked the necessities versus styling her house as her own. It's simple and it works but it still makes a part of my chest ache.
The sound of pattering feet coming down the hallway has me turning. The spitting image of Valley turns the corner but stops as she sees both Vic and I in the hallway.
