“Yes, Alpha. You need to come in. Alpha Osiris is on his way with Alpha Thomas.”
“Excuse me? Tell them to wait; they are not to enter before Marco gets there. They trampled evidence last time!”
“Derrick is also headed in.”
“How does he know about it?”
“Thomas told him, Alpha, he was at the station when the call came in.”
“It’s fine, Axton, just go do whatever it is,” I tell him.
“How bad is it?” Axton asks.
“You need to come in.” Axton curses and shakes his head.
As we come toward the turnoff onto his territory, he turns the opposite way and mutters under his breath.
“I’ll be there in a minute!” he hangs up the call and I look at him for answers.
Coming around the next bend, I see the police cars all lined up out the front of one of Tieriny’s restaurants. Leaning forward in my seat, Axton’s entire demeanor has changed. Gone is the playfulness, and the Alpha has returned.
“I just need to go take a look at something,”
“Is it a robbery?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but wait in the car. Whatever it is, isn't good!” Axton tells me, pulling over between two cop cars. He climbs out, and I glance at the boys in the back of the car, wondering if Tieriny is ok. However, watching from the car, I grow increasingly nervous when I see one of the older officers talking to Axton, who keeps glancing at the doors to the restaurant.
He glances back at me in the car before quickly averting his gaze back to the officer when another comes staggering out the doors. Axton looks at him, but he rushes to the curb, throwing up in the gutter. Axton looks at him again and drops his head before disappearing inside the restaurant.
Waiting in the car, the boys start to grow antsy, and Axton has been inside for ten minutes when I see Alpha Osiris pull up. One of the officers tries to stop him from entering. He barges past, walking into the building followed by Alpha Thomas. Curiosity is killing me, and I notice ambulances pull up, but none enter and no one comes out.
“Axton said to wait here, Elena.” Lexa worries and I look at the boys.
“I just want to know what is going on, or if it will take too long, I will tell him I’ll head home,” I tell Lexa, opening the car door. However, the moment I do, one of the officers spots me and waves his hands at me.
“Back in the car, Luna!”
“What’s going on?” I ask, ignoring his Luna comment. The officer looks back at the doors to the restaurant and sighs.
“Just wait for Alpha to return,” he says, and I shake my head, suddenly feeling sick, and I close the door.
“Luna! Wait in the car.”
“Alpha, now wait with my boys!” I growl, and the officer looks at one of the senior officers, who nods to him. He walks over to me and I open the door.
“Sit with them for a second,” I tell him, and he nods.
“Yes, Luna.” Once again, I ignore his comment and head for the doors to search for Axton. Pushing the doors open, I step inside and am instantly smashed by the scent of blood and decaying flesh.
I gag, covering my mouth and nose, and look around the foyer before spotting officers through the glass double doors to my left. Walking over to them, I yank one open when Axton is suddenly in front of me, pushing me back out of them.
Chapter Twenty
“I said wait in the car!” he growls, grabbing me and spinning around. I growl, turning back when he grabs the back of my head, pulling me to him and blocking my view.
“Please go wait in the car,” Axton whispers, and I can feel his heart racing beneath my hands, smell his fear of whatever is going on emanating from his pores. His fingers tangle in my hair.
“What’s going on, Axton? Is Tieriny alright?” He makes a weird noise in his chest.
