they had gotten here. Christian figured that it might have something to do with the life-changing sex and the mating that had happened last night. But what did he know? He was walking around smiling like an idiot.
Constantine picked up one of the bags and headed outside. Christian figured he should help, grabbed the other one, and followed him out to the car. His injuries felt much better after some rest, food, and amazing sex.
“I say we hit the vending machine,” Christian said, nodding in that direction. “Get a couple of pops and some chips to tide us over until we get some more distance before we stop for real food.”
“Great idea.”
Constantine leaned down to give him a quick kiss. Constantine closed the trunk after both bags were in, and they headed over to the vending machines. Once there, they both pulled out their wallets and started getting junk-food supplies.
Just as they were finishing up, they heard a loud crash coming from the direction of their room followed by a short shout that was suddenly silenced. Dropping everything in his hands, Christian sprinted toward their room.
Owen!
Shit, he hadn’t even been thinking about not leaving Owen alone. Constantine , being a much faster and bigger guy than Christian, flew by him. Plus, even though he was mostly healed now, Christian was still pretty sore from his beating.
Reaching the room, Christian’s heart fell when he saw the door open and the room in disarray. Well, at least Owen had put up a fight. He just prayed that Owen hadn’t gotten hurt in the process. How could they have been so stupid to leave him alone?
“Christian, in here,” Constantine said from the bathroom.
He quickly went over to join his mate and froze in fear when he saw what Constantine wanted to show him. There was a note with an address written in marker on the mirror.
We’ve got your boy toy, Christian. You’re life for his. One hour, come alone.
“This is all my fault,” Christian cried as he started to collapse. Constantine was there in a flash to catch him before he hit the floor. “I have to go get Owen. I need your car.”
“You’re not going anywhere alone,” Constantine said firmly. “We go together.”
“They said come alone. I don’t want them to hurt Owen.” Tears started gathering in his eyes. He would die if anything happened to Owen. They’d just mated. Christian couldn’t lose the man.
“Baby, listen to me,” Constantine said, lifting Christian into his arms. “You really think they’re going to let Owen go? They took a human who knows about werewolves. They won’t let him go.”
“I’ve killed our mate,” Christian cried out, clinging onto Constantine like his life depended on it. “It should have been me!”
“No! No one’s dying today except the people who took Owen.” Constantine growled. “This is not your fault, Christian. Your asshole pack is to blame for this, no one else. You didn’t do anything but love Owen. He knows that.”
“How do we get him back, Constantine ? We just found him. We need him to hold us together. He’s our center. We can’t lose him.”
“We’re not going to. I’ve got a plan, baby.” Constantine kissed Christian’s cheeks then he wiped away his tears. “We’ll get him back, Christian. Come on, we have to get to the address they listed.”
“I don’t want you getting hurt, too,” Christian said. “I couldn’t stand if I were the reason you got hurt, too!”
“Please! I’m a Delta.” Constantine snickered and ran his hands over his firm chest and abs. “Look at this body, completely solid and made for kicking ass. Besides, they won’t even see or smell me, Christian. I can mask my scent. Don’t forget that.”
“You know when I look at your body, I’m not thinking of you fighting.” Christian chuckled and he wiped his eyes again. He knew Constantine was being silly to help him, and Christian fell a little more in love with him right there for it. “It more involves
