I woke up from my nap on Jace's lap, my sense of smell stirring. I sniffed the air, and my heart raced, catching the scent of Jaxon and blood.
Zena panicked, moving.
I heard Jace grunt as I fell off him, running towards the smell. Towards the east of town.
"Melody!" He screamed after me. I whined in pain, unsure why Jaxon was bleeding.
My paws pounded against the ground as I ran towards the source of the smell.
Jace's voice echoed in my mind, Melody, wait! What's wrong?
Blood! Jaxon! I panted, running off the path and into a small line of trees.
He tried to say something but Zena snarled over him when I burst through the trees, my eyes scanned the clearing beside town until I saw them.
Lyra was beside Jaxon, her hands on a large gash on his arm.
Zena snarled at the sight. J
