Again, I deferred to Ronan, who nodded once.
“We’ll give you the information you need,” he said.
She rattled off an email. It was definitely a burner. I wrote it down regardless, and the moment I confirmed I had it, she hung up.
I glanced over at Ronan, swallowing hard.
“It has to just be us three. They’re not going to let our whole contingency of guards go.”
“I’ll assign the guards to take the other omegas home,” he said with a shrug, not the least bit torn. “This is the lead we need, and if there’s any chance that Aries is there, we have to try.”
As if I didn’t already understand what was riding on this. It was my omega on the line as much as theirs.
We were a pack.
Packs didn’t simply have other omegas. She was it for us.
We just had to find her first.
Nerves twisted in my stomach as I typed out the three names. I knew we had reputations. This could easily blow up in our faces.
This one single lead that my entire being was holding onto could be another dead end.
But something in me told me this was it. This was the information we needed.
Once I typed everything out including a quick description of what we’d done to get them out, I sent the email. I gave nothing else about us away, but I had a feeling she’d be looking us up before saying a word in response.
I wasn’t sure what I expected to happen once I hit send, but nothing came back right away. That meant more waiting was in our future.
“Sleep until she calls,” Ronan insisted, not even bothering to wait for an answer before grabbing me by the shirt and pushing me out of the room toward my bed.
My eyes were already closed before he’d even shoved me onto the mattress, and I sank into the soft bedding.
The next thing I knew, my phone was ringing next to me.
It barely rang before I was fumbling for it, but Ronan snatched it first.
“Ronan Crow speaking,” he answered.
“Funny. I believe I called Luca Crow’s phone instead.”
“Technically, Luca isn’t a Crow by last name yet,” he countered. She huffed out a laugh.
“Touché, little Crow,” she said. “I see how it’s going to be. You’ve been approved for admittance, for the three of you, butonly under scrutiny. They don’t trust you, but they want those omegas safe, so it seems we’re at an impasse.”
“We’ll be on our best behavior,” Ronan promised. “It is just the three of us and the omegas. They’re trusting us to keep them safe now, and it will be no different when we get there.”
“Fine. I’m sending you the coordinates. You are to wait at this location for your escort. The sheriff will be coming for you himself.”
“We’ll be waiting,” I said, not giving Ronan a chance to answer.
She chuckled again. “Hello, Luca.”
I probably should’ve been unsettled by how much she seemed to know about us, but I couldn’t find it in me to care.
This was it.
We’d found them.
