Axton POV

A typical night was what I expected. Which was usually spent working until I was far too exhausted or staring at the photos Elena had sent me. Other than that, not much happened in the city lately. We had nighttime curfews and extra patrols. All borders were opened up, mostly due to the recent vampire attacks.

We have had more missing people in the past two weeks than we have in the city’s history. Which was the reason the city is shut down with curfews of a night now. Until we figured out who and how they were getting in, it wasn’t worth the risk.

“I wanna go for a run.” Khan tells me and I roll my eyes. Sure, he’ll talk to me now when he wants something. We hardly spoke and unless I needed him for work or pack issues, he remained pretty much dormant.

“Axton!”

“Are we talking now, I thought the silent treatment was what we were sticking to,” I tell him when one of the security alarms at the border went off. My computer screen starts flashing. I hit the notification and the camera shows me my border patrols standing around a car. I watch as Eli comes onto the screen. He appears to be arguing with the person when I see Malik motion toward someone off-camera when the mindlink opens.

“Alpha it’s Elena,” the moment he said the words I watch as the car plows through the barriers and into the city. The pack link goes berserk, everyone talking at once before I shove them out. My mind refusing to believe Malik’s words.

Searching for Eli, he was trying to get through to me at the same time. “Elena is in the city,”

“Don’t f**k with me Eli, that isn’t funny,” I warn him, feeling Khan press beneath my skin.

“It’s her, authorities are chasing her,” I tap some buttons on the keyboard bringing up the street cameras watching as the police chase her when she jumps an island and goes around some. My heart lodges in my throat when I see her driving becoming riskier and riskier.

I open the mind link “Stand down! You run her into a f*****g ditch, I’ll kill you.” I warned them, watching as the police cars slow: “Follow, do not engage,” l order them just as she passes into her father’s territory “Want us to go in after her?” One of the oficers ask me.

“Stand down, and watch his borders in case she comes out. She is not to leave this city.” I tell them ofl, cutting that link and searching for another .

“Eli, where are you?”

“Nearly at the pack house.” I grab my jacket, racing downstairs. And pulling the cameras up on my phone. By the time I have done that, Eli was pulling up, and I jump into the passenger seat.

“My sons?”

“Not in the car.” Eli tells me while accelerating and taking a few shortcuts. Within ten minutes, we had passed officers at the edge of her father’s territory. Elena is probably thinking we don’t have access to the packs, but she is wrong, a lot has changed in the past month due to the vamp attacks and me taking full control of the council.

“Head to the pack house, it’s the only thing that makes sense,” I tell him, and he turns up the street which sat pretty much dead center of the pack territory. However, pulling into the street. I replace her father shifted, attacking her wolf while two of his men were down on the ground. Another two helping her father rip into her, her wolf was limping and torn to pieces, yet she was refusing to back down, still fighting.

I was out of the car before it had a chance to stop, Khan shoving forward violently, and I don’t stop him, giving him the reigns as he shifts and barrels straight toward them, Khan starts ripping a malt-colored wolf off her as she tore into the other one’s neck. Her father rips into her neck when I hear a shrill scream coming from the house. Khan, unable to check who or what made the sound, kills the warrior before growling menacingly. His aura shoves out and everyone jumps, including Lexa.

Derrick’s wolf spins, baring his teeth, and the other wolf runs off. Lexa staggers on her feet for a second while Khan prowls toward Derrick’s wolf, snapping his teeth. Derrick growls back, and I lose sight of Elena as Khan charges at the Alpha, and they start tearing into each other.

In the distance, I hear her shift back, and a whimper escapes her and I hear her brother scream out which distracts Derrick momentarily and Khan sizes the opportunity, ripping into his neck when I hear a door open and shut. Claws slash under our stomach, but Khan starts shaking his head, r!pping into the back of his neck and spraying b***d all over us.

However, when Khan goes to break his neck, he suddenly submits and drops to the ground. I curse, ripping back on the control, knowing if Khan kills him, I would have some answering to do now he had submitted and half the street was now outside to witness.

Khan reluctantly lets him go, stepping back when I hear a car start behind us. I look down at Derrick’s bloody body, and he growls, trying to get up when I turn to see Elena throw the car in reverse, she smacks into Eli’s car as he tries to block her.

Khan is furious, and so was I too, she was going to just leave, and that seems to infuriate Khan more than Derrick attacking his daughter. Before I can even wrangle control, Khan starts chasing her car. There was no way she was leaving this city.
