Xavier helps Aethel climb in first before squeezing himself in. “Good thinking on your part.” He compliments Rowan gruffly from the backseat. His brother is still fumbling around with the tablet while Xavier pulls out his phone to update Grant. “How are you planning to catch up with them?” It was at least two hours to get to the border between New Mexico and Texas from the estate.

Was talking to someone who worked in closed captioning who is now getting a new degree because so many companies are turning to AI to close caption now… Which AI is pretty shite at it still.

Not that I smoke it often, but only cheap weed smells like Satan’s anus.

Xavier helps Aethel climb in first before squeezing himself in. “Good thinking on your part.” He compliments Rowan gruffly from the backseat. His brother is still fumbling around with the tablet while Xavier pulls out his phone to update Grant. “How are you planning to catch up with them?” It was at least two hours to get to the border between New Mexico and Texas from the estate.
“Yeah, but we don’t have an address for their ‘headquarters’.” Xavier says with frustration. “All I know is it’s somewhere in New Mexico.” He pulls out his own phone and calls Grant while Aethel keeps going through his data. Grant answers quickly, probably already aware of the situation. He doesn’t know where exactly the Conans are but he assures Xavier that he’ll find it.
Xavier clenches his jaw, feeling like he needs to punch something. “Those fucking bastards, I… I should have…” Aethel leans on the desk, looking positively sick, the bags under his eyes showing more.
“…We should have just defied dad… We caused this - we practically led the Conans back to Killian.”
Xavier nods gravely, finding it hard to focus. “Aethel, do you have their contact info? Something that could help us find where they might have taken them?” His brother’s face lights up with an idea before he bolts out of the office and comes back shortly with one of the tablets they use for contracts. He shuts the door behind him and pulls up his network of contacts. They both curse under their breath when there’s only a phone number listed under the Conan name.
“That’s a great idea!” Nic says, maneuvering so he can sit down and hold Cassi in his lap, his arms securely around her. His dad shakes his head as he pulls the different boxes out of the bag. “Maybe you can feed me?” He teases with a grin.
“What’s mine is yours.” Nero says simply as they try to eat the cake slowly to avoid devouring it too quickly. The second bite is just as good as the first and Nero hums in delight with a little dance in their seat. “Though, those maps are probably still at my place…” Or in Hell. They add in their head.
Kiki breaks, giggling at Avery’s reaction. “Calling you dumb or an idiot twice in one night seemed mean.” She says sheepishly. She squirms a little as he keeps laughing, feeling weird for just sitting there straddling him still, but she grabs her half-eaten strawberry and finishes it. She goes to grab another when he pushes the robe off her shoulders.
“Oh, uh,” She glances at him as she feels her blush return. “Whatever your pinecone heart desires.” She tells him softly, having to concentrate on not biting her lip. She rests her hands on his chest as she leans in and kisses his head before pulling away.
Xavier nods, his face serious. “I’m sure you’ve already figured out my view on all of it. I meant it when I said I’m letting the Omegas go. With my father…” He glances at Aethel gives him a guilty expression. “Aethel, I plan on changing everything here- I want our name attached to our good deeds, not be known for Omega trafficking.”
Aethel takes a moment to digest all of this information before he nods, his jaw clenched. “Our father was the only one wanting to keep up that tradition and forced us all to comply. I don’t care about the auctions.” He rubs his chin, his eyes downcast. “They must be so scared…” He mumbles.
“You can count on us.” Xavier tells Rowan.
Nic and his dad laugh - a sound that’s been missing for a while in the Wu household. “We figured we could eat lunch with you and then go shopping, but Cassi’s legs seem to have stopped working properly. She might need medical attention.” The younger Wu teases, his chuckling giving away that Cassi is just fine.
Ren laughs some more, standing up to pat Cassi’s cheek in an endearing manner before taking the food and heading to the table with it. Nic scratches Wayland for a moment before following his dad, Cassi still over his shoulder.
Nero’s eyes open only a little at Caden’s words, looking at him through their lashes at the tone he used. Unfortunately, that’s when the desserts arrive and the imp is immediately distracted by the sweet scent of oranges wafting off their cake. “Hmm, I could help you make an itinerary, but my maps of Europe might be a bit dated.” They tease Caden before trying a bite of the dessert. They sit up, eyes going wide and wiggling happily in their seat. “Mmm.”
Kiki’s eyes widen and she looks at Avery as he easily maneuvers underneath her. Her lips squirm as she tries not to wiggle from him running his hands up her side, feeling both ticklish but also aroused. She can’t maintain eye contact with Avery and looks away before answering, blushing still. “You don’t need to pay me back, you pinecone.” She says, refusing to look at him.
“I’m spoiling you.”
There’s still a lot on Xavier’s mind, but he nods in agreement with Rowan. As they leave the dressing room and enter the amphitheater again, Aethel is there waiting. He stands up, a little wobbly on his feet. “Mother is handling… the situation, right now.” Xavier puts a reassuring hand on his brother’s shoulder before he brings him up to speed.
“All of the Omegas were taken and both of us think the Conans are behind this.” He turns to look at Rowan in case he had anything to add. Xavier left out the part about Killian’s attacker, feeling as though his brother might not handle the news well. “We can use my office to come up with a plan. Aethel, will you join us?” His brother nods, determined to fix this mess.
Xavier raises a brow, confused as to what Rowan is saying before the realization of what he’s saying hits. His nostrils flare, his brow no longer furrowed in worry but in rage. “They-” His jaw clenches as he stops himself from yelling. He takes a few deep breaths before looking at the cats.
“Go to your families. We’ll discuss the next steps of your release soon… let them know about it and… let them know my father is dead.” A couple of gasps are heard from the remaining Omegas before they all nod and quickly gather their things as they leave the room.
The cats look at Xavier in panic first and he nods. “What he says is true. You’re free to do as you wish from now on.” He assures them.
“We never saw Willow,” One of the cats answer to Rowan. “Everyone else came back but her and then suddenly there were a bunch of Alphas with guns.”
Another cat nods to corroborate the story. “They said they’d kill us if we made any noise… They took the foxes and Aurora and left with them…”
They said that if any of us followed they would…” One of the cats who had first spoken up to Xavier says, shaking their head as if it’s too much to say out loud.
“Rowan, I might have an idea who might’ve taken them…” He steps closer to the other Alpha so he can whisper. “It sounds like they went out of their way for Jewe- Willow and Killian. I think this might have been the Conan’s… They kidnapped her before, when you found her before giving her back. And maybe they felt offended about Aethel and I kicking them out over Killian, so they set their sights on him too? It’d be the common thing linking them together…”
Aethel is still standing there in the office, wide eyes frozen on his father’s corpse. He hears Xavier entering to ask what the hell is going on when Rowan sprints past him, but everything sounds like it’s an echo. “Aethel!” Xavier puts a hand on his shoulder but his brother remains stock still. That’s when the sickening thought occurs - Killian must have been taken too.
He leaves the office, running after the other Alpha and following him to the stage. “Killian’s gone, Rowan…” He says, dropping all pretenses by using his first name as he tries to calm down himself. “He’s not answering my calls.” He runs a hand through his hair as everything starts to set in - his father is dead and his potential mate is missing.
“Follow me,” Xavier hops on the stage and leads Rowan through the back door the Omegas would have taken. He throws open the doors to the dressing room they usually had the Omegas in and finds it empty except for a few cats that had been helping their high values with makeup and costumes. “What happened…?” He struggles to keep his tone gentle; he knows these Omegas didn’t have anything to do with what is happening, but it’s hard not to think of what could be happening to Killian right now.
“They’ll kill us!” One of the cats cries out, shaking their head at Xavier in complete fear and holding another cat that’s shaking. Xavier furrows his brow - he knows he comes off as rough and intimidating. He looks to Rowan for help, feeling like he can guess who’s behind all of this.
