Oliver wrapped his arms around his mate's neck and kissed Ro again, holding him tight—he didn’t want to let go.
“I’ll be home soon,” Ronin whispered after breaking their kiss. “I’ll call you when I’m done,” he said.
Oliver nodded and walked with Ro to the front door. They opened the door and Ronin kissed him again before leaving.
Oliver watched him as he went to the car. He didn’t know where Ronin was even headed, and there was a deep pit in his stomach. It was the most scared he’d been since he'd come to Wildwood.
As Ronin backed out of the driveway, Oliver felt a gust of wind and a chill fell over him. He wrapped his arms around his body and shivered. He couldn’t help looking around. Despite scouring the outside, he couldn’t see anyone about, but still, he had a sense that he wasn’t alone. Ollie shut the door behind him and locked it tight. He just hoped that Ronin would hurry back. He was definitely calling up Devon. Maybe he could go over there since Dev had been having a little back pain.
There was a voice in Ollie’s head wishing that Ronin and the rest of the guys would stop looking into everything, but he immediately felt bad for thinking it because there could be omegas in another room like he’d been in, hoping someone would come and save them… But it didn’t stop him from wanting his mate to be back home with him.
Chapter Nineteen
Ronin
Ronin didn’t want to alarm Oliver by telling him that he had to drive four hours away to reach this Dr. Katz that Ryder told him about. He looked at his GPS periodically, just to check how much further he had to go. Ro was anxious to get there.
“You don’t even know what you’re walking into,” he muttered to himself out loud.
Ryder said that he’d heard about this doctor—apparently he was the go-to for all kinds of narcotics—and he was widely known to sell scripts for whatever drugs were wanted for the right price.
Ro turned down a road when his GPS directed. If it wasn’t the Dr. he was looking for, then he would continue to search. It was as simple as that.
“Your destination is on your right,” his GPS announced.
Ronin turned into a parking lot. The lot was abandoned, and the building looked nothing like any doctor’s clinic he’d ever been to. There were no signs of activity anywhere on the property, and there were boards over the windows.
“This can’t be right,” he muttered.
Ro grabbed his phone from his pocket and dialed up Ryder’s number.
“Yo, man… what’s up?” Ryder asked, answering the call.
“This can’t be right.” He looked around again. “There’s, like, no one around. The parking lot is empty and there are boards on all the windows as if it’s been closed up for years. Are you sure you gave me the correct address?”
Ronin rattled off the address that he’d put into the GPS.
“Yeah, that’s it,” Ry said.
“Alright, well hold up while I go take a look around. Stay on the phone, okay.”
“Don’t tell me you went on your own, Ro.” He didn’t have to see his brother to know he was shaking his head.
“It’s just a doctor. Gosh, you and Ollie are being worrywarts. I can take care of myself.” Even as he spoke, he took his t-shirt off and put on his bulletproof vest, then checked his two weapons before holstering them. Ro wasn’t trying to be reckless. He had an omega and a child he planned on going home to.
He got out of the car and grabbed a coat to hide his weapons before walking up to the building. He peeked through the only window that wasn’t boarded up, and it looked pitch black inside.
“What’s going on?” Ryder asked. He switched to his Bluetooth, needing both hands.
“Looks empty inside,” Ronin said, even as he squinted to make sure. “Give me a second.”
He walked around the clinic and saw another building behind it. There was a car in the space separating them, but it was the only one. He peeked in that window but still saw nothing.
“May I help you?”
Ro spun around when he heard a voice behind him, his hands going to the gun at his back.
A man stood there, arms crossed and an eyebrow arched.
