The Omega Mated To The Four

The Alpha Bond 121

As the appointed time approached, we were in place. Alex had set his device in the storage area, and we waited in the shadows, tension palpable.

A muffled explosion echoed through the corridors, followed by the blare of alarms. Through our earpieces, we heard the chatter of guards responding to the disturbance.

"All units, report to sector 7G. Possible breach," a voice crackled.

We watched as several guards hurried past our hiding spot, heading toward the source of the explosion.

"That's our cue," I whispered.

Isaiah's shadows crept along the far wall, whispering unnatural sounds that sent a chill through the room.

Alex followed with subtle bursts of flame along the edges, making the flickering lights falter just enough to raise alarm.

One of the four guards that remained guarding the area stiffened. "Did you feel that?"

Another hesitated. "Magic interference?"

Elijah made his move next-tossing a small, enchanted stone into the corner. The moment it landed, it erupted with a low pulse of energy, like an impending magical surge.

The effect was immediate.

"Check the perimeter!" one of the guards ordered, and two moved toward the disturbance, leaving a single soldier behind to monitor the main console.

Perfect.

As they got closer Isaiah's shadows swallowed them whole and just like that they disappeared. He transported them to another part of the building. The other remaining guy panicked seeing his friends disappear into thin air.

He never saw Elijah coming.

A quick tap to the back of his neck, and he slumped unconscious. And Elijah placed him gently onto the floor.

I worked fast, pressing his security rune to the console. The room opened, revealing a long hallway.

Elijah, Isaiah, and the twins moved to secure the perimeter, ensuring no one would interrupt my approach to the chamber.

I slipped through the now less-guarded hallway, my senses heightened looking out for any traps. Reaching the chamber door, I pressed myself against the wall, listening intently.

Hearing no movement inside, I cautiously entered, my eyes scanning for any sign of Lynne.
