Page 155 of His Stolen Omega

Kian scoffed. “I don’t think you have a right to mention firsts here. This isn’t the first of my siblings you’ve screwed, or screwed over.”

Levi stiffened, the pieces coming together.

“He knows the truth now, that you couldn’t get your hands on the bargaining chip you actually wanted, so you settled for what you could,” Kian finished.

That’s what he’d told Elm?

And Elm had believed him?

He—No. Of course he’d had a momentary lapse in judgement. Since this was coming directly from Kian, the one person Elm had basically revered his entire life, of course he’d question things.

“The reason I didn’t tell him about the breeding den,” Levi began, “is because it didn’t matter.”

“Sure, that’s why you sent men to attack Shiloh.”

“I never did that.” This again? Perhaps he should have been clear when Kian had brought it up before, but he hadn’t considered the repercussions then. Hadn’t realized he’d fall so thoroughly for the guy’s brother and need to actually defend himself.

It didn’t matter what the Dominus of the Eumia believed because they were enemies.

But Kian Erskine? The older brother of Levi’s omega?

He fucking hated it, but that mattered.

“I don’t know where you got your intel, but it’s false,” he insisted. “I haven’t sent anyone after Shiloh, and I never intended to. As far as I’m concerned, that event never happened. We were two strangers forced into a horrible circumstance.”

Levi thought about the breeding den once in a while and got pissed off about it.

But Shiloh Sobu was never on his mind, in any capacity.

“I’m supposed to believe that?” Despite his words, Kian didn’t seem as certain as he had a moment ago.

Levi’s multi-slate beeped, the small red dot showing Elm was on the move again. Baal and the others most likely hadn’t reached him yet.

“This is a waste of time.” He took a step toward the door, but Kian bent down and picked up one of the discarded weapons, aiming it his way.

With a growl, Levi stormed forward, until the end of the gun was pressed directly over his heart.

“My mate is out there on his own right now, Erskine. I don’t have time for this pissing contest, and if anything happens to him, not only will it be war between us, I swear to Light that I will personally cut your head from your body. If you insist on shooting me, do it now, or back the hell off so I can go find the man we both claim to love.”

Kian stared at him, openly searching his expression, something seemingly occurring to him. “You’re…different.”

Before he could respond to that idiotic statement, his device beeped again.

The dot representing Elm sped up, moving faster than it would be possible for Elm to run.

“If your people found him, where would they take him?” Levi demanded to know, a dreadful feeling sweeping over him. “Damn it, Kian! Hurry up!”

“They’d bring him back here,” he replied with a slight frown. “They’d know after searching for him for so long, I wouldn’t trust them bringing him anywhere I wasn’t at.”

Levi cursed and twisted on his heels, practically racing across the restaurant, the blaster and the alpha holding it all but forgotten in his panic.

“What’s wrong?” Kian caught up with him outside.

“Move.” Levi shoved Wook out of the way and opened the car door, sliding into the driver’s seat himself. When Kian immediately climbed into the empty spot next to him, he didn’t argue, starting the vehicle and peeling out of the parking lot instead.

“Leviathan.” Kian still held the gun, but it was no longer aimed his way.

“He’s in a car,” Levi explained.
