Chapter 42 Chapter 42
Chris left the room and declared it cleared! The soldiers saluted and moved to the next floors, Chris also followed them but before the elevator could close he glanced one more time at that door at the extreme end, hoping the occupants will follow the plan just as he had instructed.
Mica bit her fingernail anxiously.
"I don't trust him," she said as she looked directly at each of the men in the room "this could be one of his schemes to take Jeremy away again"
"I still think he called the authorities here to trap us" Drey added making Jeremy sigh and Oliver looked over at him.
"What do you think Jeremy?"
Jeremy hesitated as he tightened his hold on Jaden while every other person in the room looked at him
"Can we trust him just this once?"
"Are you insane?" Mica shoots out of the seat to face him, a dumbfounded look on her face. "We're talking about the same man who has been obsessed about you for years and wouldn't let you go."
"I know, it's just..."
"It doesn't matter what you think Jeremy," Drey deadpanned. "Chris got to your head and now you think you can trust him again, but after the incident where you disappeared from me the first time, I don't trust your instincts anymore."
Jeremy pressed his lips together and stayed quiet
"Thanks to the skin patches we can now leave the hotel safely, so we should all get our stuff and meet at the lobby in thirty minutes"
Oliver and Mica agreed and left to get ready while Drey began packing what he could. Jeremy staring at him as he did.
"You're angry" Jeremy said after a while of silence making Drey scoff as he kept dumping things into his bag.
"Why? Jeremy asked again and watched as the alpha hit his fist over the closed bag, his scent getting more sour
"Why? Did you just ask me why Jeremy?" He stood in front of the omega fuming "how else am I supposed to feel when my mate is suffering from Stockholm's syndrome"
"I beg your pardon?" Jeremy stood up glaring at him "Chris has never hurt me and he is my brother"
"Adopted. You heard him yourself. Any normal person would flip out if they saw their captors again but you looked at him like he was the sun in your sky and you think we should trust him? What the fuck Jeremy "
"I was only thinking of a way out..."
"And you think I wouldn't have come up with something?"
"Well you did say you had lost me for two years"
Drey gasped taking a step back, his eyes fixed on the glaring omega
"That also happened because you didn't trust me to protect you... no you never even gave me a chance"
"I don't really care about a past I can't even remember" Jeremy rolled his eyes and folded his arms over his chest "and let's say I really do have Stockholm's whatever, I still made a conscious decision to leave Chris and be with my mate only for you to spew bullshit"
"Jeremy..."
"You're a fucking kid alpha and I think you need time to grow up" with that Jeremy turned and was about to pick Jaden up when Drey caught his arm, turned him around and pulled him into a hug, tightening his hold when the omega struggled.
"Let go of me you bastard."
"I'm sorry Jeremy. Please don't go away, don't leave me again."
Jeremy relaxed a bit into the hug, but didn't hug back just yet.
"You're the one who's pushing me away."
"I'm sorry," Drey breathed against his neck. "I just got too jealous and overwhelmed by the thought that he might have wormed his way into your heart."
Jeremy sighed as he hugged Drey back, letting his slender arms wrap around the alpha's strong back.
"I'm not leaving."
Drey stayed that way, nosing at his mate's neck sensually.
"When all this is over, will you let me mark you then, so we can seal our bond once and for all?"
Jeremy pulled out of the hug slightly so they were still holding each other at arm's length.
"I got deja vu, this is not your first time asking is it?"
Drey smiled as he moved closer so they could feel their breath on each other's faces.
"No, but I'd like to know what your answer would be this time."
Jeremy smiled as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe"
"Maybe's not an answer, come on baby" Drey tried, his wolf whining desperately shameless.
"When all this is over, let's seal it, let's seal our bond."
Drey beamed at that.
"Is that a yes?" he asked, making Jeremy nod with a shy smile. Drey let out a happy smile as he easily picked the other by the waist and spun him around.
"He finally said yes" Drey whisper yelled, not wanting to wake their sleeping angel and Jeremy laughs, enjoying the moment. "I promise you Jeremy, I'll do everything within my power to make you happy forever" he said and was about to dive in for a kiss when the door bust open and Oliver popped in again.
"It's past thirty minutes guys... oh" Oliver paused, and narrowed his eyes at the two. "Guys we're supposed to be leaving."
"Right" Jeremy smiled, carried Jaden and rushed out past Oliver who turned to see Drey glaring at him. The black haired alpha grabbed his bag and without breaking eye contact he walked over and past Oliver and just as he went past him he muttered "cock block".
Oliver chuckled as he walked slightly behind him
"I understand that you're a depraved man but right now is not the time to be going after his pussy."
Drey stopped in his track until Oliver was standing by his side, he turned to him.
"How did you know he has a pussy?"
"How else?" Oliver teased as he moved closer so his lips were close to Drey's ear. "I've seen everything kid and it took at that time all the will power I had not to pounce on him"
Drey eyes widened
"Why you?..."
He threw a punch which Oliver expertly dodged as he laughed and ran away with Drey quick on his tail.
'Why the hell are they all after my mate?' Drey thought distastefully
"Can you dorks stop being stupid for once and get your shit together so we can leave?" Mica quarrelled the moment they arrived at the lobby.
She was cradling Jaden now cause people might suspect something if they saw Jeremy holding him instead. Yes, she was just as paranoid as everyone checking out of the hotel at that point as they do not want to be involved in whatever drama was happening in that hotel tonight.
Soon they checked out and were on their way
"I feel like I forgot something" Drey said as he drove through the city, his eyes squinted in thought making Oliver look back dramatically at the others there
"Mica, did we forget Jeremy?" He asked to which the female alpha looked at him like he had grown an extra set of head
"He's sitting right next to me Oliver" she deadpanned, making Oliver smile at her
"Just trying to assure this idiot he has nothing to worry about"
"Shit!" Drey hit the brake so abruptly that everyone leaned forward sharply and the back
"Drey what the fuck?" Mica quarrelled
"Sorry guys, I just remembered what or rather whom I forgot"
"Who?" the other three asked making him sigh.
"Hey Tracy... Yeah... Listen, something came up and I had to leave...impromtu... What? You had already left?"
"Yes, I left in the early hours of the morning. Something urgent happened back at Delrago that need my urgent attention"
"Oh that's okay, see you in Delago then" Drey said and brought down the phone from his ear, a relieved sigh escaping him.
"Yeah see you in Delago where everything would be back to normal" Tracy said as she watched the big black car begin moving again.
She starts her own borrowed car and followed after them while briefly glancing at the black edge of the shot gun in her bag. She let out a sigh, her mind was made up.
The five continued the journey in cool silence and Jeremy was already dozing off to the cool song coming from the radio when the car suddenly jerked to a stop once more making everyone lunge forward once again
"What the hell Drey, did you not take driving lessons?" Jeremy asked annoyed as his sleep had been disturbed, but he got no reply and when he looked up he saw the alpha glaring at something ahead and when he turned to look at it he saw a car parked horizontally on the street blocking the path they were on and sitting on the hood of the car was Chris who looked over at them with hooded eyes as he exhaled the smoke from the cigarette he was taking.
Shit not again
