My Omega Queen Chapter 39: Unexpected Help

POV: Edward

This is a terrible blunder. The mysterious figure got what they wanted, but maybe it’s not too late. Arthur can surely reach them, they must be nearby. Running at our top speed, we arrive at the scene of the campfire in four minutes. There are six rogues, who have just finished killing Andrew. I notice his empty gaze towards me, going limp just as I come into the clearing. They were collateral damage, but were going to die anyway. I guess I’m thankful Emily didn’t have to go through with it, I just hope she got the information she needed.

In just under two minutes, Arthur deals with the rogues, one by one, as they attempt to block off their leader’s escape route. We get a smell and start our pursuit anew, while also mind-linking Michael:

has been kidnapped by an unknown assailant. I am currently in pursuit, but rogues keep attempting to slow me down. Andrew and Lance are dead. Assemble a troop of warriors and get to the campfire. FAST, Michael.”

His dissapointment is palpable, but this is not the time to give up. We have not become King with a weak resolve. The next few hours will be crucial in finding who took Emily and why.

Still, I make an effort and use a nearby chair as a makeshift support, getting to the door. It’s locked. The last thing I remember is a conversation with my mate, but I can’t recall what it was about.

Nathan

w days have been quite hectic around here. While Kyle had been acting strange before, now it’s on a whole other level. He seems weirdly rude and antsy and he’s rarely seen around the pack anymore. He’s left me in charge for a week straight. He briefly returned for half a day, then left again on a “business trip”.

. I try to open the door, but it’s locked. After a few attempts, I hear a voice from inside, asking if I’m Kyle. I instantly recognize Emily’s voice. Why is she here and why isn’t she screaming her lungs out of this place? Why does she say Kyle’s name in such a friendly voice? I have no time to answer these questions, as my body just sprints to the exit, with only one thought in my mind: I need to get to the Alpha King, fast.
