~Dominic~I’ve been on pins and needles, waiting for her to come back home to me. The day felt like it would never end, and I can’t speak to how many times I wanted to storm into the hospital and grab her. Surprisingly, Gideon is the one who spoke sense into me. He reminded me that this needs to go well, or I will have a big mess on my hands. I can’t run that risk because it would make me lose Khalid and Jamorea. That’s too much to leverage. I can’t be the reason why Jamorea is in jeopardy or that her brother is hurt. I can’t be the reason Skye goes missing. A lot is riding on everything, but I know that I’m up for the task. I see the car pull up to the packhouse door. I watch the door open and Jamorea step out. She looks smaller, drained. That woman steps out of the driver’s seat and stares at my mate. I don’t like how she looks, but I know I can’t do anything about it. I keep watch from the window and watch them walk inside. I need to make sure that I keep eyes on her. The moment

~Katarina~I close my eyes and feel the air around me change. I keep the needed image in my mind, remembering where the blind spots are. When I open my eyes, I look around to find myself in a semi-deserted hallway. Are we good, Hope?Your scent is blocked. Go for it. I’m tucked into a corner, and I’m grateful that’s where I ended up. I move forward and peer around the corner that I’m standing against to find two men guarding a door. I check the time, and it’s pretty late. They stand tall, telling me they are fresh on their feet. I’d imagine that they are on a shift specifically for late night. The men are visibly out of place, but not visibly armed. I’m not stupid enough to think that these men have no weapons on them. It should be easy to take them down from here, making sure that they are subdued and not killed. It’s funny that this man has security outside the

~Third Person~Katarina walks into the Alpha’s office, dressed in black. It’s late at night, not long before the change of nurse at the hospital. They have gone over the plan many times, but that doesn’t erase the unease everyone is feeling. Anything could go wrong, and that’s the issue. If something goes wrong, this isn’t just about the people involved in the swap getting caught. The kids could also go through unnecessary pain. The goal is to avoid all of that and get Khalid to his sister. “Are you ready, Dreamboat?” Aston looks up from his desk and leans back in the chair. “Topaz was here. She left something for us. It should help us disable everyone without having any issues.” Katarina walks over to the desk and sees a small ball on the desk. She looks at Aston with questions in her eyes, but he doesn’t say anything. “Do you know what to do with that?” Aston nods and stands from his desk. He’s also in all black. Even though this is a covert mission of sorts, that isn’t why they'

~Jamorea~“Jorie?” I move my body, but my eyes stay closed. “Jorie.” My eyes flutter open and white walls greet me. I don’t remember where I am, but that only lasts for a second. His warm hand touches my cheek, and it all rushes back. I turn my head and see Khalid next to me. My eyes fill with tears as it all comes back to me. My brother is here with me, and he’s safe. He got in late last night, and I didn’t leave his room. I fell asleep at some point, and I’m grateful that Dominic left me in here. “Morning, buddy. How did you sleep?” Khalid pulls his body up and leans back against the pillows. He looks out of breath, but I guess that’s to be expected. “Where am I, Jorie? This isn’t the same room, is it?” I turn my body to the side so I’m facing him. “Do you remember me telling you that I would make sure to get you away from him?” Khalid nods vigorously. “I promised you I would bring you to me. I kept that promise. You are safe…Brackston’s not here.” Khalid’s lips tremble, and he l

~Brackston~I let out a sigh and sit back in my chair. All in all, it went as well as it could. I’m not sure what she thought about my explanation, but she took it, and that’s all I was looking for. She wants to talk to Khalid, but I can easily deny it as long as I want to. My door pushes open, and footsteps sound on the hardwood floor. I look up to find the head of my security with a tablet in his hand. “What is it?” He sighs and looks down at the screen. “I’ve been all through the video footage, and there’s nothing. We have no clues and no leads. We have no idea who took him or how.” I slam my fist on the table again in frustration. How can this be? How can a child disappear from a hospital with security outside and inside the room? There’s no way someone walked out of the room with him because we would have seen something. The length of time without video wasn’t long enough for anyone to walk out of this building without being seen. Nothing in the room was off or out of place: n
