Monroe after a week had broken in and with Vinny’s help managed to copy all the security codes and made it so he could easily hack into the computers at any time. While sitting in the office he watched the security cameras, Ryan was in the parking lot ready to go. He’d found all the blind spots which meant it would be easy for him to get out unseen. Unfortunately he saw several men approaching the side entrance that led to the back room. One of them was a very very familiar Gorilla man, Tyler was there and he was talking to the head of security who was leading him inside.

“I swear to fucking god he is a bad penny stuck to the bottom of my shoe.” He said as he pulled up Ryan’s employee record. He changed his photo so it looked like him but it wasn’t him and then he backed out and turned everything off that had been off he deodorize the room and then climbed up into the vent and pulled it closed just in time for the head of security and some sketchy looking guy as well as Tyler to walk into the room. He shuffled back and out of sight then didn’t move.

“I’m telling you, he looked like that guy you mentioned the other day, that Ryan guy you’re looking for.” The Head of security told him as he sat down and booted up the company computer.

“Why are you interested in seeing if it’s him or not in the middle of the night?” The other man asked.

“He is keeping something that is mine away from me, not to mention he’s a wanted criminal and I’m a detective.” Tyler told them. The two laughed.

“Yeah who works for the boss, you really should get over it.” The mafia guy said.

“No, I still have a job to do, and my work boss is on my ass about losing them again. If they are here that might not mean good news for your little company here. They think they’re robin hoods or some shit like that. Now hurry it up.” Tyler demanded. He sniffed the air as the security guy grumbled and continued to wait on the computer as it booted up. Monroe covered his mouth and nose with a mask he was trying not to have a panic attack and let his pheromones leak out. He couldn’t move as he saw the top of Tyler’s head and he could hear him sniffing. He needed to get out of there, he started ever so slowly to back out sliding backwards to minimise the noise. He strained to hear. “Yeah that looks like him but it’s not him, but you did say he had a rabbit for a mate right?”

“Yeah cute little thing I think he said their name was Marilyn, he was trying to get some extra cash to propose to him.”

“Did he call them by a nickname?”

“I heard him call him Roe once, said cause he wa-“

The vent buckled and popped under his palm and they all stopped talking and Monroe could see a light shine into the vent. He turned down the corner and scrambled not caring how much noise he made as he headed for the exit. There was shouting and the light swept back and forth looking for him but it was too late. He was up onto the roof and out of the vent in minutes Ryan had to be nearby in the car. He slid down the emergency escape ladder as the roof door flew open. He looked around and didn’t see him, he then bolted in the direction he knew he would be in but as he rounded a corner there was a sudden searing pain in his ears as someone had grabbed him by his ears and pulled him off his feet and into his massive arms.

“Hello my little bunny, I’ve missed you these past few months.” He told him as he caressed his face. He struggled to get free, regretting the mask as he couldn’t bite him but glad for it as it blocked out pheromones. “Don’t struggle darling. I’ve finally caught my fated mate.” He said groping his chest with one hand while he sniffed his neck. “Oh what’s this? My mate is a male? I’ve never done an Omega male before.” He said as he playfully bit his ear, his hand now going into his pants, Monroe felt ill as he touched him over his briefs.

“And you won’t get to again.” Ryan said as he hit him over the head from behind with a random piece of plywood he’d found. “He is not yours!” He yelled at him as he dropped, taking Monroe with him. “Ahh Roe are you Okay?” He said rolling him off of him and then pulling him securely into his arms.

“No, I’m scared Ryan.” He admitted as he clung to him shaking.

“I have you now, it’s Okay I’m taking you away from here.” He said pulling his mask off and kissing him letting his pheromones enter his mouth and calm him down. Tyler groaned and he kicked him then scooped him up and started to jog off as Monroe calmed down holding him tightly.

“We should leave, get away from here, go back home.” He said into his shoulder.

“Alright, we need to get our things.” He said as he opened the door and put him onto the passenger seat. He was thankful he let go so he could get back into the driver's seat.

They drove quickly back to the apartment, most of their things were still packed in the bags they brought with them, just a few things spread out in the apartment. Between the two of them they had everything packed and in the car and ready to go with in the hour. They pulled out Monroe curled up in the backseat holding onto his pillow still shaken, he saw Tyler sail past them as they pulled out of the side lot but he said nothing as he continued to drive off in the middle of the night. Vinny was notified and had already changed their address so he was going to the apartments behind them, he had also found a lot of good stuff on the computer including the supposedly deleted video files of most of the accidents. Monroe fell asleep in the back of the car and Ryan drove heading north. He was going to bring Monroe to a safe place, a place his mother wouldn’t bother him but would feel comfortable. I would mean that he’d have to tell him how he went to school with his brother, but that was fine they’d have a room to themselves and they would be safe.

Three days later he pulled into the long driveway, and up to the large house that belonged to his grandfathers, he’d called ahead to let them know he was coming and he wouldn’t be alone. He pulled to the front and the two aging alpha’s came out to greet him. One was a still tall man at 6’2” with heavily salted black hair with blue grey eyes white dog ears with brown spots and a white tail that was half brown. He still was broad chested but clearly showing his nearly eighty years of age. Next to him stood a shorter 5’6” but no doubt about it Alpha with large beige brown ears, solid silver hair and a short docket tail. He had deep brown eyes and that flawless Alpha skin that unlike his partner didn’t show his age, both were 82.

“There’s our only grandson.” Mickel said. He was the father of his father and a Jack Russell.

“You said you were bringing someone home where are they?” Theodore said. He was the mother of his father and a Corgi from what they could best guess.

“Yeah I did, he fell asleep in the back seat.” He told them after they shared a hug. Theodore peeked in the back window and saw Monroe asleep on the backseat. He raised an eyebrow at his grandson. “His name is Monroe and yes he’s that rabbit.” He told him.

“So you finally caught him huh?” Mickel said, rubbing his head.

“Sorta, yes. I was going to ask him officially once things calmed down.” He said opening the door and then he carefully picked him up and carried him inside. He put him down in his old room on his bed then tucked him in, he’d been up with him for the last 20 hours while they switched on and off driving. He walked out and into the kitchen where his grandfather’s were making coffee. “He’ll be out for a while.”

“How about you? You look tired.” Mickel said.

“I’ll take a nap in a bit, probably, but right now I wanted to say thanks for letting us crash here for a bit.” he said taking a seat at the table.

“You are welcome any time, especially if you bring such a cutie with you.” Theodore said happily.

“He’s a bit … shy? He might seem cute now but that’s because he’s tired or asleep, he’s usually quite a feisty bunny.” He told them.

“I’m sure it will work out for you both.” Mickel said.

“I hope so, I haven’t seen the mark fade in over a month now and he hasn’t bitten me since then…” He said turning a bit red.

“Oh! A true fate, you need to propose to him at least do that.” Theodore said happily. “My Kel is my fated mate. I knew it the first time I saw him, he was just so cute and small back in our first year of High school, we were the same size then.” He told his grandson a story he heard many times. “And then the bastard went and grew several inches on me.” He said, punching his husband playfully. They laughed and talked for a short while before Monroe came out of his room half asleep.

“Found you.” He said putting his arms around his neck and snuggling him. “I wanna nap with you.”

“I was just about to come join you.” He told him as he took advantage of his sleepiness and kissed his cheek. He still whined and pulled away, but that was fine, he wanted to snuggle in bed and take a nap too. He got up and nodded to his grandparents who waved him off understanding and then he scooped him up and carried him squirming all the way to his room. “Let’s take a nice long nap.” He told him as they settled down under the covers.

“Mmn goodnight my Alpha.” He said snuggling into his chest.
