Matts

Something wasn’t right…

Matts watched as Alice paced up and down the living room with a nervous energy that had come out of nowhere and taken both by surprise.

After another failed call, he looked up from his phone, concerned.

“Calls aren’t getting through,” he said.

“Mine either.” She had her phone in her hand, and continued calling Gabriel.

Their dinner was still on the table, waiting for them with swirls of hot smoke rising from the dishes. A fish stew he had persuaded Alice into helping him make. They had spent a fun evening in the kitchen, closer together than perhaps she had realized. It was the first time he had cooked with someone instead of just for someone, and he’d enjoyed the experience. She knew her way around the kitchen.

But now neither of them could eat. Something had happened, but Alice didn’t know how to explain what she was feeling. She told Matts it reminded her of the last morning Bruno went to work.

“That morning, I suddenly woke up from a violent nightmare, and just started crying without knowing why,” she had told him when they’d talked about Bruno.

Now, the similarity between the situations made him think for a moment that Gabriel had already won without knowing—that he and Alice already had a bond. But Alice assured Matts that this time was different. Her heart was racing, but she didn’t have the same deep despair she had felt before. The powers at work always wondered if omegas also made a bond with their close friends and family, a lighter version of the link they had with their mates. This might be the answer.

“Henryk is with him. He should be all right,” Matts told her gently. “I’ll send someone to check on them.”

“That’s very kind of you.”

He watched as Alice went into the bathroom, seeming as if she was trying to hold back tears. As soon as she closed the door, he called another of his men and ordered a yellow alert. Two of his men were to go to the hotel and check up on Henryk and Gabriel. If anything had happened, help would deploy immediately. Last time he had checked with Henryk, they were in the hotel’s hall, having dinner. The situation was tense, but not dangerous. However, each failed call was piling on Matts’s suspicion. It was not normal for Henryk to be out of reach.

A soft chime on the security tablet changed his mood from suspicion to high alert. He picked up the tablet from its stand on the living-room console and checked the live feed. There were cameras all around the house and ground, a perfect network against intruders, without any blind spots.

The chime had been caused by a temporary loss of power. A failure of the network? He had backup power from a battery and solar panels so the system wouldn’t go down, and the lights were still on. But this was too many things at the same time to be a coincidence. He tapped the alert button
