Chapter 15

Evan

Things were going so smoothly for us. Too smoothly, in fact. Damn it. I should have been more prepared for this. I should have questioned it when Tomas agreed to our terms, but I’d been so damn sure we had this in the bag. I’d wanted to believe it could be that simple. Now we were paying the price.

I pulled Mariah into my arms as her eyes flooded with tears. What if I’d trusted Jax sooner? What if I’d done more to ensure his safety?

“Mariah, I'm so sorry,” I whispered. “If I’d listened to my instincts and trusted Jax from the start, I could've protected him better.”

“No, Evan.” She shook her head as she lifted her gaze to mine, her light brown eyes glistening with tears. “None of this is your fault. Every bit of this is on Tomas. We'll find Jax. We can make this right.” The look of hope in her eyes—the belief that I could make this right—nearly broke me. Could I save him from Tomas’s wrath? What if we were already too late?

“Mariah's right,” Sebastian said from where he leaned against the wall, arms crossed over his chest. He looked worried, but there was also that determined glint in his eye. “We won’t let Tomas win. We will find Jax, and we'll get Porter back, too. This isn’t over.”

Sebastian pulled out his phone and began making calls, the few silver streaks in his hair catching the light as he paced the room. He’d gone firmly into alpha mode now.

A few minutes later, his security team sent over the footage they’d gathered. We followed Sebastian to his office to see what it might reveal, and watched as he clicked through the files. Most of the footage was of Porter, as we needed him to be safe if we wanted Rosalind’s cooperation. I tried not dwell on how all of our hard work might be in jeopardy.

“It looks like he was picked up in an unregistered vehicle.” Sebastian paused the video and pointed at a car with no tags. He backed up the video, then zoomed in as the footage showed a man being shoved into the car before it pulled away.

I ground my teeth. “Any idea where they took him?”

Sebastian shook his head but pulled his phone out and began making calls once more. Mariah clung to me, utterly distraught as he worked.

“Okay,” he said, glancing at us as he ended one call and immediately dialed someone else. “I think we’ve got a lead. One of my guys managed to follow the car. They took him to a warehouse in Atlantic City.”

“You’ve got the address?” Sebastian demanded into his phone. He listened for a moment, then nodded. “Can you put your drones on the property now? I want a live feed.”

Within minutes, drones were launched and were flying over the property Porter had been taken to. The live footage streamed on Sebastian's monitor, and we watched, hoping to see something, anything that’d let us know what we were facing.
