(Song: "Rise" by Skillet)
Mel's POV
I sit in what I assume you would call a lobby as I wait for Jaxon to re-emerge from the room. As more time goes by, I begin to grow anxious. What if Alpha Kellan is holding him hostage in there? What if he somehow figured out why we're really here? Maybe inviting Alpha Philip was a mistake. What if he betrayed us and sided with Kellan?
I've tried mind-linking him a few times, but I get nothing back. Anything can happen down here, and there's no way to contact our pack for help.
At this point, there's a chance we're utterly f****d.
All of a sudden, Jaxon storms out of the room, his face filled with an indiscernible expression, but I can sense his panic.
Something's wrong, but at least he's alive and leaving at his own will.
"Come on, let's go,"
