His phone rang again. Then came more buzzes, like angry hornets.

Uriel desperately wanted to hurl the phone at a tree so it smashed, but if he was going off-grid, he couldn’t afford to destroy his things.

Heart hammering, he carefully pulled out his phone and scrunched his eyes shut, peeking through a crack in his eyelids.

Uriel, you there?

Bruiser said he couldn’t get through to you, there’s some new arrivals at the trafficking place and they’re stuck in your spell

“Oh fuck,” Uriel hissed, his stomach plummeting.

In his hurry to leave, he had completely forgotten about the active spells at the facility—he was too far away for the trip wires to ping him.

Could this be a trap? Bruiser trying to reel him in so he could get at Uriel or Cassie?

But if it wasn’t a trap, then Uriel had left a number of captured omegas frozen—omegas whose babies might need them right now, and none of them could move.

“Fuck.” Uriel’s heart thumped nervously. If nothing else, he had to go back and undo the spell, so no one else could be trapped in it. “Damn it!”

Uriel could’ve cried; he didn’t want to go back.

“We’ll stay invisible,” he told Cassie. “And soundless. We’ll just be in and out.”

She patted his face, and he launched his broom back into the sky.

Even from a distance, he saw the new truck at the trafficking facility. The one yesterday had been a muddy gray; this one was faded green.

Bruiser had been telling the truth. Which meant that he was somewhere around, hovering. Waiting for Uriel to show up.

Uriel’s heart thumped nervously. Without knowing if there were hostiles in the cargo space, he couldn’t release the freezing spell. He didn’t have x-ray vision; he had to ask the kidnapped omegas, or ask if Bruiser knew whether it was safe to release the spell.

Uriel scrubbed his face, feeling like crying again. He dropped into the forest and undid the invisibility spell so he could see his phone. Then he opened his omega friends chat.
