His Dominant Omega Jarrett, J. (ebook reader with highlighter .txt) 📖

him. And excuse me for saying this, but this is a family matter, so butt the fuck out.” Josh’s voice rose in volume.

“Family?” Josef started to laugh. “You’re joking right? Where were you when your dad kept pressuring Cole to quit school? Where were you when he took everything from Cole and sent him packing? If that’s what you consider family then thank God I’m not a part of it.”

“Motherfucker!” Josh started toward Josef, and Josef stood to his full height.

Devon was just about to jump in to separate the two when Cole finally snapped back to life.

“Stop, please,” Cole begged. “Josh, we’re all family here, even you two. So please tell Devon what he needs to know. We’re going to need their help getting Father back. If our pack has turned on Father, then they’ve turned on us. If we go in there unprepared, we could be ambushed and killed.”

“Fine.” Josh finally relented and told Devon everything.

Cole’s father had been receiving threats for the past three weeks, and according to Josh, he’d been getting untraceable e-mails for months before that. Apparently this alpha Drake wanted the land on which Cole and his family lived, but that wasn’t all he desired. He wanted Cole as well. Omegas were rare, and Drake wanted to add Cole and his ability to the pack. When their father ignored the threats, they seemed to stop, like a quiet before the storm as Devon was seeing it now.

After hearing all the wolf had to say, Devon took a minute to think about it all. They needed to find this Drake and take him out. In this day and age it was unheard of to fight over land or over pack members. Times had changed, and there wasn’t any need for that anymore. Werewolves were allowed to have free will. They didn’t need to be a part of a pack to survive.

“He wanted me?” Cole’s eyes exposed his surprise.

Josh blew out a hard breath and scrubbed a hand down his face. “Yeah, he did. That’s why dad wanted you to leave school. And when you chose to leave he thought it might be for the best.”

“But he took away my access to all my money, my car, everything. Why would he do all that if he was just trying to protect me?”

“Less chance of Drake being able to track you. Father didn’t want to be so cruel but he thought it best to keep you safe,” Josh explained.

“Do you know where to find this Drake?” Devon asked. He could feel Josef’s stare on him, but he didn’t turn around to acknowledge his friend just yet.

“No.” Josh hung his head. The man looked tired, and Devon could relate. “The notes he left were handwritten with no return address, and all the e-mails were untraceable.”

Fuck! Devon smacked his hand down on the armrest.

“Wait a minute,” Jake spoke up. The other twin had been silent until now. “I got a license plate number off one of the cars.”

Devon smiled over at Jake. That’s all they needed.

Chapter Thirteen

Cole hated feeling weak and showing so much emotion in front of his friends, but his father had been kidnapped by a deranged wolf, and said wolf wanted him. It was a lot for one man to take. Thank God Devon agreed to do everything within his power to help him and his brothers.

“This better be good.” A young man came slamming through the door. “I was on a date with a really hot guy. And all these cryptic messages you guys kept sending were distracting as fuck.”

“Is everyone in this house gay?” Josh asked and Cole turned to look at his brother.

“Only the cute ones,” Skyler answered. He looked a little offended by Josh’s outburst.

Devon quickly explained the situation to the newcomer. His name was Dominic. He looked way too young to be driving let alone hacking into DMV records.

Dominic got straight to work typing away on his laptop. He said it would take a few minutes, so Cole took the time to speak in private with his mate.

“So what do you think?” Cole asked once they were alone.

“I’m worried,” Josef answered. “I don’t like the idea of you going after a man who wants you. The man clearly isn’t right in the head, and I don’t want you getting mixed up in all this.”

Cole nodded his head. He understood what his mate was saying and why he was concerned, but in the end his father had been abducted, and he couldn’t leave the man to an unknown fate. Plus from what Josh told him earlier, his dad had been trying to protect him. It didn’t take away all the years of growing up in a hate-filled house, but it showed that his father still cared about him.

“I understand, but it’s what I have to do. He’s my father.”

“I know, and that’s why I’ll be right by your side every step of the way.” Josef pulled Cole into the warm embrace of his thick arms. Cole soaked up the comfort his mate provided.

“Thanks, babe.” Cole moved forward and kissed his mate on the lips. Touching Josef kept him grounded and helped relieve some of the stress swirling around his body.

“I got it!” Dominic hollered, and Cole and Josef ran back toward the office Dominic took up station in. “His name is Drake Williamson, and he lives actually not too far from where you three used to live before your house burnt down.”

Cole grabbed up the map Dominic had printed out and scanned the location. “So what’s the plan?” He looked to Devon, the alpha of his new pack.

“I’ve been talking with Josh, and here’s what we’re going
