CHAPTER TWELVE

Victor

Bringing Simon into the main offices of Victory Holdings was a terrible idea. I believed that for purely selfish reasons, though. I hadn’t counted on Eddie, my former best friend and co-conspirator in all the rotten things I’d done with omegas over the years, being right there. I definitely wasn't ready to have the alphahole I’d once been thrown back in my face, or in Simon’s.

But when my uncle’s personal security guards showed up, trapping us in his office, I knew things were about to go from bad to worse.

“Let me pass,” I told them, summoning every bit of alpha I had in an attempt to intimidate them.

The security guards were also alphas, though, so my ploy didn’t have much effect.

“We’ve been told to apprehend you if you trespassed on Victory Holdings property,” the largest of the guards said, taking a step toward me.

Instinctively, I extended an arm to block him from Simon, nudging Simon farther behind me as I did.

“He isn’t trespassing,” Artemis defended me. “Victor Woodbury is part owner of Victory Holdings.”

“Not if Mr. Woodbury has anything to say about it,” one of the smaller guards blurted.

The one who seemed to be in charge glanced at him with a scowl, then turned back to me. “You’re trespassing on Mr. Woodbury’s property,” he said.

It was possible he was telling the truth. I had a vague idea that my uncle owned the office building that housed Victory Holdings, and several other businesses, even if he didn’t own Victory Holdings itself. I’d done the same thing, buying real estate with my own money, like the building in Norwalk. I didn’t know for certain, one way or another, so I held my ground.

“Where is my uncle?” I demanded. “I want to talk to him to get to the bottom of this misunderstanding.”

Misunderstanding my ass. Uncle Vincent was trying to get rid of me, not just as a company officer, but as part owner of Victory Holdings. The security guard who had blurted must have overheard something.

“I’m not at liberty to disclose Mr. Woodbury’s whereabouts,” the entirely too loyal guard said, squaring his shoulders like he was about to get physical. “I’ve been charged with apprehending you if you attempted to enter these premises.”

“Apprehend?” Artemis scoffed. “You’re not the police.”

“I have Mr. Woodbury’s full authority,” the guard said.

We weren’t going to get anywhere arguing. I needed to take action.

I grabbed Simon’s hand, trusting that he would follow whatever I did.

“Get out of my way,” I said, moving forward, like I would bowl the guards over.

The two minor guards stepped aside to let me pass. The loyal guard tried to stand his ground, but shifted at the last second when I bumped him with my shoulder.

He only faltered for a moment, though.

“I have orders to apprehend you,” he said, a little louder than before.

He reached out, but instead of grabbing me, he clamped a hand around Simon’s arm.

That was it. I felt a spike in Simon’s fear as our bond suddenly widened, and I saw red.
