Chapter Twelve

Emmett was sitting on the steps when Ryker found him. Ryker sat behind him and pulled Emmett onto his lap. Emmett turned into him without saying a word. They just sat for a minute and watched the kids. Ryker knew he’d talked to Darriel. Emmett didn’t need to spell it out, but he needed to tell him and haltingly repeated what Darriel had said.

“He’s safe now, and I will pass on what he said.” Ryker glanced at the kids. “Why are you sitting here?”

Emmett waved to where the kids were pretending to be lion shifters and roaring at each other. “Sarah seemed to think one of them should be the king of the jungle and boss the others about, so to save an argument, I said I was the king.” He sighed. “Of course, that meant I had to sit on a throne, and these steps are hard.”

Ryker slid his hand underneath Emmett and rubbed gently. Emmett groaned. “You can’t do that.”

“Why?” Ryker said innocently but had to stop when he was spotted by Calvin, who ran up the steps to greet him. Emmett smiled. It wasn’t just him who couldn’t get enough of the alpha. Calvin was equally besotted.

“It’s normal,” Ryker said when Calvin had been persuaded to go back and play. His face flushed a little. “When pups haven’t had a lot of security, I mean. They latch onto either the alpha or someone similar.”

Emmett nodded. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that no matter how busy Ryker was, he always found time for Calvin. He usually woke up to them either outside playing or Calvin eating an early breakfast while Ryker tackled the paperwork that seemed to be piling up.

“Any news?” Emmett asked quietly. He knew the scouts had returned with reports on the missing omegas. His dad had come back with them but had disappeared inside. Emmett loved that he was visiting more and more, and he was planning on asking him to stay and eat supper with them. Zeke had also taken an interest in how Darriel was doing and often asked Emmett if he could help with anything.

Ryker shook his head. “We doubt at this point they’ll ever be found. There’s a chance the shifted wolves have either gone feral—”

“What?” Emmett whispered.

“If they’ve remained shifted for a long time. They can remain wild so long, it’s easy to forget their human side.” He shrugged. “Although we’re not really talking long enough for that to happen. It’s just a good way of hiding out from everyone at the moment.”

“And the non-shifters?” He knew they were most worried because Riggs hadn’t been found and there might be another cave full of omegas similar to the one they had found Calvin in.

“Not so far. The problem is, we’re talking hundreds of miles, thousands if he has access to a vehicle. And because of the pack problems with population, everyone is so mistrustful. I wouldn’t even be allowed on pack property in a lot of cases.
