Chapter 48

Aroura

It had been easier than expected to have Lena put a sedative in their drinks the night we left. I knew I shouldn’t have left them there vulnerable. But I couldn’t let them keep Kason and I from leaving again. I wasn’t leaving because I was scared, I left because I needed to fight these demons on my own.
I had already asked Dr. Gwen to find a therapist for me that I could talk to. I had her coming with us to continue my care. I was hoping the guys wouldn’t be too angry that we had left. They needed to focus on taking down their part of Gravin, and I needed to focus on my revenge for my family. Not against the guys obviously, they were my mates, and I know that leaving them the way I had was going to harm our bond, but for the good that would have to come from it, I had no choice.
I hadn’t told them what the monster had said. He hadn’t planned on me surviving. He had told as he forced me, who was in charge of everything, where the locations of where the other trafficked omegas were. I remember him laughing as he said that he planned to force every omega to become his before killing them slowly. He didn’t care that it was eating at his soul to kill the bonds. It was something he thrived off of. Something he had been doing for years. He had told me what they had planned for the guys.
I could save them; I could extract my revenge from the monsters who were taking and breaking omegas all over the country.
We had arrived at the new safe house early this morning. Lena was getting everything set up while Jaxon was looking into all the information I had been given. Would Nash have been better for this, maybe. But knowing what I know now I couldn’t risk them. Not when the person was already trying to kill them, to break them for not conforming into what they had wanted. Symbols of power and strength, that would make the entire country tremble. All because they found their omega and wanted to be better. What they didn’t know was that the boys was already taking their power away slowly, meeting me, falling for me, it had just accelerated the timeline.
I was struggling physically, the moves took a lot out of me, but I was prepared to become stronger. My bond was aching at being so far from my Alphas, but I forced myself to ignore it. I had to. Otherwise I would break and take us all back to them. I wanted to so badly that it physically hurt.
I was questioning myself, was this really the right decision? Should I have trusted my alpha’s to protect us. To take care of this?
I couldn’t turn back now.
Jaxon walked into the room and sat across from me, “A, I have found some information on Ashton Wolfe Sr.”
Yeah, their grandfather was still alive and running Gravin from the shadows. And I was going to take him down.
“Hit me,” I say leaning toward him.
He glanced up at me then back at his screen, “he hides behind multiple shell companies here in South Carolina. There is at least fifteen to thirty companies that I have found so far. He has three different known addresses and multiple possible addresses that was found within the companies. As we well know he is in human trafficking, drugs and selling weapons. He also has many legit companies to money launder including strip clubs, dry cleaners, and a tech company that made the app O&A, that is designed to bring Alpha’s and Omegas together based on their likes.”
“So this asshole creates an app that is for dating and what, drugs the omegas and traffics them!” I asked, shocked.
“Yeah, it seems that way. So far, he’s not been caught, only because it wasn’t found on any of the girls phones in the preliminary searches, but if you hacked into the phone, you would find it. I found hundreds missing omegas on the tech companies list of users, even some Alphas as well.”
I cover my mouth and try not to cry. Omegas are rare as they are, its why so many alpha/beta packs were born in the first place. Usually 3 to 8 alpha’s to one omega. I know we had already saved so many and had them hidden for now, but they never had a chance because of this guy. So many who hadn’t found their scent matches. The bond ached in my chest. I rubbed at it absently.
“What would be the best way to start taking him down. I don’t think we should just send this monster to prison; I think we need to kill him. I know that there could be many others like him, but if we take him down, find all the locations I was given while he…” I took a deep breath as a tear stole down my cheek, I coughed, “we can find more omegas and send them to the guys. They will keep them safe.”
“A, are you sure you want to do this alone?” he asks, touching my hand, “It’s okay to need help, to need them.”
I looked away, “it’s the best way to keep them safe. Pull the focus in two different directions. He wont see me coming, he will be blindsided. If we can cut the head off this end this way, then we have a chance on taking out the entire organization.”
He puts his laptop to the side and leans forward, “I get you want revenge for what happened to you. We have always supported you. We always will. However, is it worth your mental health to do this without your mates at your side, I know you are hurting, I know that you feel like this is the only way.”
“Jaxon, it is the only way. I am the only one who can find all these omegas, they think I am dead. They don’t know that I survived what happened to me. They don’t know that they didn’t win. They think the guys will be weak and dying because I died. They don’t realize that I am alive. And that even though I’m gone right now, the guys are still strong. My alpha’s can do what they do best, without worrying that I could get taken or hurt again. My being there isn’t helping them, its harming them its taking away their focus and putting it on me.”
“Aurora, that’s not.” He starts.
“But it is!” I lean forward, “every time that I get taken or attacked the guys stop everything and focus on me. It’s not enough anymore. Now lets take them down. So I can get back to my mates.”
