The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

Chapter 140

Dropping the ball.
(Patrick)
“You don’t have to do this.” Eliza tells me from her spot on the armchair in the corner of the bedroom. I glance over at her and shake my head, I return to packing my bag with everything I might need. “You don’t even know this information is good, what happens if you get into trouble out there?”
“Kitten.” I sigh, dropping some jeans into my bag. “Fraction is drinking himself into an early grave and wont let me within a mile of the Pack house. Anna is beside herself and won’t get out of bed. I need to find Aurora, if it wasn’t for me Zoe would never have gotten as far as she did.”
“It wasn’t just you.” I know Eliza shares my guilt but I won’t have her coming with me.
“The information Mac gave me is solid, if it turns out the van went to this town then maybe that’s where these people are settled. There is at strong chance Aurora and James are there.” Mac called last night, thanks to Jefferson they were able to track the license plate number to a small town about fifty miles from us.
“And if they catch you? What will I do then?” I zip my bag up and walk over to Eliza, crouching down I put my hand over her still flat stomach.
“Then you raise Lizzie and this pup to be as strong as me and you, they will be surrounded by family here.” It’s a miracle we never thought would happen but I can’t say I’m unhappy about it, “it’s our fault Eliza, if we weren’t with Doctor Lee getting the scan then we would have

been on that stretch of land. She would never have gotten away, I’ll forever carry the burden of Momma Beth’s death.”
“I’ll carry it too.” Eliza cups my face and I lean into her touch.
“No. You let me carry this one,” my poor mate has had enough heartache and pain for multiple life times. I won’t let her burden this. pain too.

“Promise me you will come home.” I smile at her before standing and placing a k*ss on top of her head.
“I’ll do everything I can to get back to you.” It’s the best I can do and she knows it, I won’t make a promise to her that I’ll end up breaking if things don’t go my way.
“Go to the Pack house. Fraction won’t turn you away if I’m not there. I don’t want you doing Patrols, if you have to, you tell Fraction and Anna about the pup. Your job is to protect our family, you understand?” Eliza nods at me as she wipes at her face.
“I understand, I love you.” I smile at her as I pick my bag up from the bed.
“I will always love you, kitten.” I leave the bedroom quickly knowing that if I stay any longer then I won’t leave.
Once I’m outside of our little cabin I jump into the SUV and drop my bag on the passenger seat. As I plug in the GPS coordinates that Mact gave me I try to contact Fraction one last time. Leaning back in the car sc at I close my eyes and try to find his link, it’s there but it’s fuzzy which tells me he’s hammered.
‘Alpha?’ He doesn’t answer me but I can feel him listening, I’m leaving. I have a possible lead on where the van went with James and I’ m hoping that’s where they took Aurora. I’m leaving Lizzie and Eliza

here, please protect her.’ I feel him close the link once I’m done, the fact that he doesn’t answer me is a true testament to how much I’ve messed up here. Putting the car in drive I look out of the window and see Eliza looking down at me from the bedroom. I leave as quickly as the car will let me.
Although I’ve been away from the Pack before leaving without knowing if I’m going to make it back is not something I have ever done. The thought of James and Aurora is enough to fuel me forward, I drive until the sun starts to set. It isn’t until I am on top of the GPS dot. that I realise something might be wrong. The town that’s meant to be here isn’t here, instead there is a massive eight foot wire fence filled with ‘No Trespas sing’ signs. Double checking the GPS I pull my phone from my jeans and call Mac.
“What?” Mac sounds annoyed, I guess I interrupted something.
“This GPS, it’s brought me to a da mn fenced area. I thought you said it was a town?” I can hear people in the background before the clicking of a door tells me Mac has stepped somewhere more private.
“It’s meant to be a town called, one sec let me look.” There is some rustling and then I can hear the creak of a chair. “Alright it’s meant to be a town called Moonrise, with a population of around 3000 people. Jefferson’s police contacts were pretty solid on this.
“Great, another dead end.” I say slamming my head back on the chair.
“Maybe not, might be worth a look around while you’re there, want some back up?” I almost laugh at him, what exactly does he think going to get me out here in the middle of nowhere.
“No, there’s nothing here. I’ll poke around a little before heading back. How’s everything on your end?” So far it seems only Swiftmane has been affected by the abductions but I’ve been keeping tabs on the other
