Reborn Omega: Avenge Hersell Like an Alpha

Third Person POV
“But Leon is still in their hands,” Alpha Matco said, frowning.
“He’ll be fine.”

Charles told Alpha Mateo Aubrey’s plan. “Leon was taken by my father… Hudson. He’s been brought to see Ms. Mary.”
Mateo’s expression shifted. “He’s not here? But what if Hudson hurts Leon?”
Charles shook his head, certain. “He won’t. Ms. Mary won’t let Leon be harmed.” He didn’t know why he trusted Aubrey so completely–despite her being an omega–but he did. If Aubrey told him she’d become an alpha, he would have believed that too without hesitation.
He inhaled deeply. “Ms. Mary says we’re going to trap those southern bastards here and finish them.”
Alpha Mateo fell silent. In that quiet he thought of Aubrey’s rare rapid healing–though she hid it well, he had noticed a clue back in Sineville. His brother should really be okay.
“All right.”
Alpha Mateo chose to trust Aubrey.
Moments later dozens of cars rolled up and surrounded the area. Over a hundred werewolf warriors disembarked and, after linking up with Charles, all shifted into wolf form within seconds, encircling the warehouse.
Dave panicked and tried to call Hudson, but the line was busy–Hudson was on the phone with Aubrey.
Hearing the unsettling chorus of wolf howls, Hudson shouted into his phone. “Aubrey, what do you mean by this?”
Aubrey smiled lightly. “Why worry about a bunch of southern fools? Just bring Leon here and I’ll go with you willingly. And my protectors are over there–wouldn’t it be safer for you to come meet me?”
She cut the call.
Hudson swore under his breath but knew she was right. Even if he turned back now, it wouldn’t change anything. It would be better to go straight to the drying ground and exchange hostages.

Aubrey was only an omega. Once she and Henry were separated, she would be easy to seize. He could pretend to exchange Leon for her, then seize Aubrey and take Leon back–holding both hostages, he’d have leverage and a chance to survive.
Half a minute later his phone rang. It was Dave.
Hudson glanced, hesitated, then answered. “Dave, hang on–after I exchange the hostages I’ll be right back to get you out!”
After delivering that line with all the acting skill he could muster, Hudson cut the call and switched his phone off so Dave couldn’t reach him.
“Shit!” Dave heard the dead line signal and realized Hudson had abandoned him.
As the cars drew closer to the drying ground, Hudson’s unease swelled. The chain of events made him feel like a puppet. He regretted trusting Aubrey–she must be setting him up–but she was only a twenty–year–old girl; she couldn’t have thought of everything, could she? Besides, as long as Leon remained in his hands, he wasn’t afraid.
At the same time, Killa learned Hudson had betrayed him. His face darkened. The northern scum had no loyalty. He looked at the encircled Alpha Henry and the others and noted the ring of enclosure slowly being torn apart–the plan to capture Aubrey was faltering.
He almost ordered a retreat, but thinking of the promised reward made him grit his teeth. He signaled to an informant he’d planted inside Shadowmoon Pack.
“Capture Aubrey–do not let her escape.”
“Yes, sir.”
In a stone house on the outskirts of Shadowmoon Pack, a hulking werewolf stepped out. His muscles bulged, and a beastly light flashed in his eyes. He licked his lips and, in the southern tongue, growled, “I will tear apart anyone who stands in my way.”
