"Chloe, oh my god. You are literally front page news here in Gotham. Dad is having a major freak out. I would totally avoid his calls if I were you. Love you."
Blinking groggily I vaguely registered the sound of my phone. Twisting I blindly reached for it landing on the chest of the male beta in bed next to me. I blinked once, twice before my attention was drawn back to my phone, I grabbed it fumbling to answer. "Hello," I muttered lowly, moving to get off the other side of the bed. "Oh my god Chloe. I have been trying to call you for hours." "Volume, Mary, please." I said crawling over the alpha woman on the other side of me.
"You are totally hungover," She sang.
"Yes thank you for stating the obvious."
"Just a warning Dad is on a warpath."
"I'll call him when I'm not so hungover, and after I get rid of my new friends."
"Chloe Kane, what were you thinking. Never mind you obviously weren't." I yawned as dad rambled on, "You are going to get on a plane back to Gotham by the end of the week."
"No, I'm not."
I walked into the little antique shop I had tracked the necklace to. Walking around I looked at everything finding the necklace in the jewelry case dull and tarnished as if it were an ordinary piece. I could feel the power flowing off it, could see the illusion settled over it. Waving the manager over, I pointed it out, he pulled it from the case, "thirty euros," he said. I nodded pulling out the money while he wrapped it up. He obviously doesn't realize what he has but I'm not going to inform him of the value of this necklace.
Slinky black dress on, I strolled into the party eyeing my target from across the room, Aleksy Drakos, stereotypical alpha, I could scent his pheromones from across the room. Passing him our eyes met before I continued on settling into a stool at the bar I ordered a drink. I didn't have to wait long before he leaned in behind me placing a hand on the bar and the other on my hip. He ordered a drink before addressing me, "Aleksy. Who is the delicious omega before me?" I smiled up at him from behind my drink, "Chloe."
Aleksy showed me around his home pointing at all the old and expensive things he owned trying to impress me. Finally spotting what I was there for I leaned into him giggling, "Aleksy," I sighed. Backing me into the wall closest to my prize he wedged one of his legs between mine and leaned down to kiss me. As he trailed kisses down my neck I whispered a spell freezing him in place. I reached around him pushing at the integrity of the case around the arm brace I was there for I reached in with my hand. I pushed the brace into the pocket dimension I used to store things before conjuring an identical brace to take its place. I quickly pulled my hand back turning to Aleksy just as the spell over him broke and his lips met mine. I slid into the car he called for me the next morning, a smug smile on my face as it drove away from his chalet.
I laid back on the towel in the sand allowing the sun to caress my skin. I turned to the alpha woman laying besides me trailing my fingers up her arm. She shivered and turned into me, I placed my lips on hers with slow, drugging kisses. We laid on the private beach for hours taking pleasure in each other.
I wore my armored suit for this job. I carefully moved over to the roof of the building I was breaking into. I slipped into the ventilation system that I had mapped in advance, I moved quickly reaching the room where my prize was. Carefully unscrewing the vent cover I dropped to the ground landing quietly. I moved to the wall panel that covered the security box. I quickly disabled the primary and secondary systems, knowing I had only a few minutes until the guards would do one last sweep before the shift change happened. I moved forwards grabbing my prize, I placed a conjured fake in its place to make sure its absence wouldn't be noticed until I was far away. I re-enabled the security system replacing the wall panel, it was almost as if I hadn't been here. I slid back into the vents and leisurely made my way back to the roof. I looked out over the skyline about to make my escape before I heard a gun cock behind me, "hands up, trespasser," a guard said. I cursed under my breath almost. I raised my hands before turning towards the guards three easy to handle. The guards moved closer, one of them grabbed one of my arms to restrain me. I quickly twisted out of his grip and punched him in the throat he started choking, I knew he would be unconscious soon. I moved quickly towards the second guard I kicked his knee out and when he fell to the other I kneed him in the head. The last guard fired his gun at me, I cocked my head at him after it bounced off my suit, anger boiling up within me. I was on him in a flash, a high kick sent him to the ground before I launched at him landing on his chest I saw red as I started punching him furiously.
I walked slowly off the elevator into the penthouse. It was strange to be back in Gotham after two years. The pain from the memories of Jason was still there but somewhat muted. I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay long but I had missed it, had missed my family. Leaving Gotham had allowed me to escape the memory of Jason but had set the omega in me adrift, I desperately needed a pack to ground me. I moved to stand in front of the floor to ceiling windows looking out over the skyline. Behind me I heard the elevator opening, I turned as most of my family stepped off. "Hi Dad."
