“Yeah. He cut a deal as soon as his legal advisor arrived. He gave up the alphas who attacked the Alpha King and two other alphas in the council involved in selling drugs and trafficking omegas,” Makar said tiredly.
“You don’t look happy,” Hym said.
“Yeah. Maybe I’m getting too old for this shit. The victory doesn’t taste as good as it used to anymore,” he said. “How is your mate?”
“He’s going to be fine,” Hym said.
“You should go to him,” Makar said, slapping his back. “We got him. Go rest. I’ll clean up and send everyone away for a very long time.”
Hym laughed. “I don’t know about you, but this victory tastes nice.”
He got his fucking mate back.
“I know,” Makar said. “Go, before I change my mind.”
Hym turned and headed to the parking dome. He got into his pod and drifted home. He took the stairs two at a time and ran down the hallway to his room.
Hym stared down at his sleeping mate. His heart lurched in his chest.
“I almost lost you,” he said, touching his cheek softly. “I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you.”
He would have gone crazy, that’s what.
Laying down next to him, he wrapped his arms around him and held him tight.
“Let’s fall in love, baby,” he whispered.
Chapter 25
Jamue
“Luci?” a hushed voice called.
In a loud whisper, Luci answered, “What?”
Jamue didn’t know why they bothered because he could hear them. He groaned, opening one eye to stare at the omega brothers at the door. They stood there staring at the bed.
“I don’t think you should be in here. Hym said to let him rest.”
“He’s been resting for a whole day. Maybe something is wrong with him.” Luci stared at him worriedly. “I’ve seen what Repinuj can do. I want to check on him.”
Oh…Jamue never thought he’d see that look on the omega’s face after he slapped him across the face. He watched him get closer.
“Now you care after you slapped him like that?” Ludiin said, closing the door.
“I cared even then,” Luci said, coming to a stop next to the bed. Jamue closed his eyes. “Are you angry at me for slapping you?”
Jamue said nothing.
“I won’t leave until you open your eyes. I know you're not sleeping.”
“Luci, leave him alone.”
The bed dipped.
Jamue sighed, sitting up.
“What do you want?”
