Chapter 43

Thane POV

For hours I have waited at the strip club for Talon to return. He was pissing me off. He knew I waswaiting and was deliberately dawdling and wasting my damn time. Yet as Brianna walked on in, I knewhe wouldn’t be too far behind her. Brianna spots me instantly and runs. They had spent the last fewdays out of the country, but I rang as soon as I found out his plane had landed this morning and toldhim to come to see me. When he didn’t show up, I came looking for him.

The moment he steps into the seedy place, he sighs. “If you’re here about the money, can we do this inmy office? My patrons don’t need to witness this,” he groans. I wave him to go, and he trudges towardthe steps. I follow and climb the steps behind him to his office. He immediately walks to the safe andopens it.

“I’m not here about that,” I growl, and he seems taken aback and stands, kicking the safe door shut andspinning the handle

“You’re not here about the debt?” he asks warily as he makes his way to his desk. I fall onto the couch,watching him. Scrubbing a hand down my face, I rub my eyes. I needed sleep and hadn’t slept a wink.It was impossible; I was used to being curled up with one of my mates. The couch at work did not offerthat.

“No, I am here about Z or Zara, whatever you want to call her,” I tell him, and he swallows and leansback in his chair, folding his arms across his chest.

“What about her? You know if the girls request their identity to be kept secret, we abide by theirwishes,” he states. I raise my hand; he quiets immediately; I should beat him senseless, for giving methe runaround all damn day. He knows better than to push me.

“I know the rules you have set out for this place. I don’t care for them. Do you have any idea how badthis could damage my company’s reputation if they knew I hired a hooker?”

“Zara isn’t a hooker. She mainly cleaned dishes. The first time she took on clients was you lot whenyou demanded her,” Tal defends. I click my tongue, replaceing that hard to believe she had no intentions ofwhoring herself out. But then again, she is a virgin

“What do you know about her?” I ask him, turning my attention back to him. Tal gets up and movestoward his bar area. He pours us both a drink before handing me the glass. I sip mine, waiting for himto say something. But he only shrugs.

“Not much. She is quiet, and I am pretty sure her only friend is Bree.”

“She never mentioned family or anyone?” Tal shakes his head, and I groan. I was no closer to figuringout who she was.

“So you didn’t know she was homeless, I gather?” Tal shakes his head.

“No, I have been to her apartment; Bree lived next door to her. That’s how they met,” Tal quickly says. Ishake my head

“I spoke with the owner. She kicked her out a couple of weeks ago. The owner thought she was stayingwith a friend until one of her other tenants told her she was on the streets, sleeping behind the oldplaza.” I tell him.

“A homeless Omega?” Talon laughs, yeah, it wasn’t heard of much. We certainly didn’t get manyhomeless Omegas in the city. Most were cherished possessions of their alphas or made good moneydoing rotations, which was basically just being breeders, jumping from pack to pack, spitting out kidsbefore moving on to the next.

“Wait, you’re being serious?” Tal asked. I clicked my tongue, annoyed that he didn’t realize one of hisworkers was in such dire straights. Yet again, she pulled the wool over my eyes too. Yet a homelessOmega in this city was dangerous

“Fuck, I had no idea. Had I known, I would have organized something or told the council,” he exclaims.

“That’s another thing I wanted to see you about. Zara never registered, and her ID was fake,” I tell himand his brows furrowed.

“They’re forcing her into rotation?” he asks, and I glare at him with a growl.

“No, because I covered it up by telling the council my pack is claiming her,” I snap at him.

“Oh well, that’s great news. No harm done then,” he shrugs.

“You know I won’t have an Omega in my pack. That is why I am here. I need to replace out who she isbecause it is clear to me that Zara is running from someone,” I snap at him.

“She was Bree’s friend. I did her a favor. Honestly, Thane, if she is hiding something, I am not aware ofwhat it is. Besides giving her shifts, I didn’t have much to do with her outside this place.”

“So, what do you suggest I do with her? I can’t keep her,” I tell him.

“Why can’t you? Because of Harlow? Do you know why Leon comes here so often, not because hewants to feed on my workers but because he is hoping you fucking replace one you like? Your pack needsan Omega,’ Tal snaps.

“What use is an Omega to us? She would be useless to us.” I retort.

“She wouldn’t be useless. Sure she can’t take your knot, but does that matter? There is more toOmegas than being a piece of ass,” Talon says. I knew he was right, but it still irked me; we were so

close to having an Omega, a family. Yet Harlow blew that right out the window.
