Rise Of The Betrayed Omega Chapter 236. Porsche 911.
**Shawn's POV** “My brother died four years ago,” Abigail says solemnly. “In a car accident on a road he knew well… because he had too much to drink and decided he was fine to drive himself anyway.” She holds my gaze the entire time she says this. “He was twenty-six,” she continues. “He caused the accident. Didn’t hurt anyone else. Just himself…” Tears well in her eyes before she pauses, steadying herself. “I got the call at two fifteen in the morning telling me he was gone.” The bar is deafening around us—music pounding, glasses clinking, laughter spilling from every corner. Yet somehow, in the middle of all that noise, her words land with a quiet weight. I say nothing because now I understand her insistence to drive me home. “I saw you from across the room tonight,” she adds. “I don’t know you. I don’t know what kind of day you’ve had, or what you’re sitting here drinking about.” Her eyes stay fixed on mine. “But I know what a man looks like when he’s drinking
Rise Of The Betrayed Omega Chapter 235. A bossy stranger.
**Shawn's POV** I look at Abigail. She looks right back at me, chin lifted, keys already in her hand. There’s a calm certainty in her expression—the look of someone who has already made a decision and is simply waiting for me to catch up. Who the hell is this woman… and why does she smell familiar? I inhale at her scent again, subtle enough that no human wouldn’t notice me. Still nothing. Her scent sits at the edge of my mind, irritatingly out of reach. Not a memory exactly… more like the feeling of one. Like a word on the tip of my tongue that refuses to be spoken. I frown. “Listen, lady,” I say finally. “I appreciate the gesture. But I don’t need a babysitter.” “Good,” she replies immediately. “Because I’m not offering to babysit you.” She jingles the keys once. “I’m offering to drive you home so you don’t wrap yourself around a lamppost on the way out of the parking lot.” I scoff, shaking my head at her stubbornness. “If that’s your concern,” I say dryly, “I’ll take a
Rise Of The Betrayed Omega Chapter 234. May the best man find Maya.
**Shawn's POV** “Are you alright?” Ezekiel says into the phone. A pause follows, making me wonder what Stella just told him. He listens quietly, his fingers idly tapping the rim of his glass. “Of course. Tell me.” Another pause—longer this time—and the faint amusement on his face slowly drains away. Something sharper replaces it. Whatever she’s saying… it has his full attention. My grip tightens around my glass. What is she telling him??? “How long?” he asks and then silence again. “Five years old,” His voice remains level, but something beneath it has shifted. “Near the Black River territories.” He reaches into his jacket, pulls out a pen, and scribbles something down on a napkin. “Send me a picture—the best one you have—to this number. I’ll run it through my system tonight.” Another pause. “Yes,” he says after a moment. “I will find her, Stella. You have my word.” His tone softens just slightly. “Don’t thank me yet. Send the picture. And get some rest.
Rise Of The Betrayed Omega Chapter 233. Cooperative.
**Shawn's POV** (Meanwhile on the other side of the city...) The human bar is packed and deafening with music and drunken laughter blending into a constant roar that makes it nearly impossible to think. That’s exactly why I chose it after the mess of a day Dmitri caused, I needed noise—something loud enough to drown out my thoughts while I sit at the counter, staring down at the glass in front of me. The bartender has already refilled it eleven times, yet the amber liquid still looks untouched as it reflects the dim lights above the bar. I swirl it slowly, pretending I’m focused on the drink. In truth, I’m trying very hard to think about nothing. But it’s useless. Every time I blink, the same image flashes behind my eyes—the explosion, the flames, Stella’s fragile body lying far too still, I thought she died and that clawed at something inside my chest. Something I believed died along with the last member of my family. 'Well,' my wolf’s voice rumbles inside my he
Rise Of The Betrayed Omega Chapter 232. Complicated.
**Stella's POV** I don't waste another second to pick up the house phone and dial Cole's number from memory. It rings twice before he answers. "Stella." His voice comes through the line immediately, like a man who has been sitting next to his phone all day and has made peace with nothing else getting done. "Finally." "I know—" "Do you?" The quiet precision in his voice is already sharpened to a point. "Because I have been calling your cell since this morning. Since this morning, Stella. Every single time — voicemail. Just voicemail. Like you ceased to exist somewhere between breakfast and now." "My phone—" "I don't want to hear about your phone," he says. "I want to understand how a grown woman can be completely unreachable for an entire day while her five year old daughter is missing." A pause. "While we are actively searching for Maya and you are just — gone." "Cole, I can explain—" "Then explain." I open my mouth and then I close it because the explanation is s
Rise Of The Betrayed Omega Chapter 231. A pawn.
** Stella's POV** Ezekiel looks at Shawn once. Something brief and unreadable passes between them. Then he nods and gestures toward the car at the far end of the yard. "It would be my pleasure. Come on," he says. I follow him without looking back at Shawn... I'm done with being used as his pawn. I need to concentrate on me and my pups. --- Minutes later, the city moves past the window in streaks of amber and white. Ezekiel drives and talks. His voice fills the car — telling me how his screen lit up when the building exploded, how his stomach dropped when the heat signatures shifted, how he pushed the drones harder than he ever has. He tells me he was scared. He tells me that is not a feeling he is particularly accustomed to and that I am responsible for introducing it into his life, which he says with a tone that is trying to be light but isn't quite making it all the way there. I admit that I hear all of it but I am not listening to any of it. I am thinking about Shaw
