Omega Bound Chapter 235

Thane

"Did Cyrus give you his list of supplies he needs?" I ask Damon as we get Derk and Trevor shackled to the chairs. The power wash company is highly disturbed by our behavior, but surprisingly, gave me a punch card.

Odd.

"I did, but it might also be a shopping list for their new home. It has a cheese grater on it." Damon answers, pulling the list out and handing it to me.

We step back and admire the shackled idiots. By being too prideful and greedy, they disobeyed their father, creating a weakness within their pack and giving Cyrus and Raven just what they had been waiting for.

Truthfully, I assumed taking down Stevens and his sons would happen at the same time but spreading it out may work in our favor.

"I am going to assume torture list since it has meat hooks on it, but anything is possible. Get the stuff, bring it down here, let Cyrus decide.” I passed the list back to Damon. The two wayward sons remain unconscious from their beatings they sustained on the way home.

*"Thane, I need help."* Little Wolf mind-links me. The statement should alarm me, but the bond seems fine, so it could have something to do with pickles at this point.

*"Rhonda showed up at the house unannounced, and now she is with us because she wants to see Raven."*

*"Raven is going into surgery. I will meet you in the dungeon parking lot."*

"I have to go up and rescue our mates from Rhonda, you better stay here." I need to have a discussion with Ayla about sticking up for herself more.

"You do not have to tell me twice. The last time Rhonda saw me, she licked me." Damon shudders.

I climb the stairs and head through the doors. I cannot describe the relief I feel as I watch Ayla climb out of the car toward me. I knew logically that she would be fine, but in the back of my head, I was praying that this was not a distraction to obtain Little Wolf instead.

I think the fear of losing my family will always be simmering just underneath the surface. I cup her face and kiss her deeply.

The feeling of having my mate in my arms and inhaling her lavender scent is like coming home. "I was so scared, Thane," Aylan whispers against my lips.

"I'm sorry, Little Wolf, I will apologize later." I scent her arousal in the air as I do any time she hears the word 'sorry.'

"Let me handle Rhonda, you take Amani and head down the stairs, only if you think you can; if not, head to the clinic. Cyrus is there waiting for Raven."

"I think I will take Amani to Damon first, and then maybe we can all head to the clinic. Cyrus needs support." Her fear for Cyrus causes me to snort.

"If you think he is down there, torn up about whether Raven will be okay, you are wrong. He is more than likely going to bitch her out for holding up their murder time." I kiss Ayla on the cheek as she gestures for Amani to follow her, as Amani is slowly side-stepping away from Rhonda.

"Rhonda, showing up at my house unannounced is a poor idea." I feel like I am scolding my grandmother. A feral grandmother.

"I needed to meet with Amani, I would have gone where she was, she just happened to be at your house, Alpha."

"I will have somebody take you to Larry's. Please do not come to my house unannounced again. I have a pregnant mate, and it is too dangerous."

"My apologies. I am just very excited about Cooter's."

"Nope, not going there. I am going to check on my mate. I will let Raven know that you stopped by."

I turn and leave Rhonda standing silently behind me, sighing as I will my brain to stop trying to figure out what she was talking about.

I do not need to know.

Nothing good will come from it.

I'm sure it is disgusting.

I head down the dungeon stairs to see Damon holding his mate and mine glaring at the two prisoners, one of which is staring at my mate.

I do not like it.

“He just woke up I gave him some drugs.” Damon informs me as I walk up next to Ayla, hoping this isn’t another Sonne situation. I will kill everybody I meet just to prevent her from enduring another face from her nightmares again.

“What is going on?” I look around Ayla whose eyes are flicker neon teal. “Do you know them?”

“I have no idea, but my wolf wants them dead.” Ayla wrestles with her wolf for control and it is apparently Ayla’s wolf fighting to make her place known.

“Get in line bitch.” Derek pants as he attempts to fight off the drugs Damon gave to him. Before I can punch him, Ayla’s partial shifts her fingers to claws and he launches forward, digging them into Derek’s head.

He screams in pain as I grab her around her hips. Ayla is snarling as she tries to rip the face off this scum. I pull her away as she growls wildly, fully enraged and demanding bloodshed.

I do not know if I have ever been so turned on and terrified at the same time.

“Ayla, baby look at me….” I haul her up the stairs and it her down outside as she tries to bolt around me. “Calm down. You have to save them for Cyrus and Raven. I need to speak with them too. Please, breathe. Think of the pup.” I put her face to my neck as I bent down, hoping she will scent me and calm herself instead of tearing out my throat.

I push as much calm as I can down the bond. After several seconds, she breathes slower and no longer has claws. “Are you good?” I ask as she nods while holding her belly.

“Aramana has a special bond to Raven. She is extremely upset right now and honestly, so am I. At least we are functioning more cohesively.” Ayla sighs.

“I think you and Amani should meet up with Cyrus. I will stay here.” I grab her hand and bring her down the stairs with me. “Damon, can you take the ladies to Cyrus and maybe on your shopping trip.” I mind-link him to keep them both away from the dungeons as long as possible.

“Oh, maybe we can get something for our house?” Amani sounds excited and Damon passes her the list. She reads it in confusion. “That is a lot of mousetraps.”

“Don’t ask.” Damon answers.

“I will mind-link when I am done here.” I tell him, but a streak of white darts in front of me, feral for the shifters chained to chairs. I grab Ayla before she can claw out their eyeballs, picking her growling form up and heading toward the stairs.

“Do not let your Luna out of your sight.” I order him and he nods in agreement. *“Do not let her buy anything if she mentions cutting a dick off with it either.”* I mind-link Damon as I carry a snarling, vengeful she-wolf to Amani’s car.
