I look at Eli, turning toward the stairs leading to the ward where she is supposed to be when I stop.
“Wait, why was she having an ultrasound done?” I ask Eli, and he shrugs, looking unsure. Shaking my head, I race up the steps when I see the doctors in a discussion in the middle of the ward, looking as if they are about to go through a shift change. One of our pack doctors stands in the center, and the moment he sees me, he drops his head. Doctors are the only people within a pack that have the power to override an Alpha.
The council has laws to protect pack doctors; they are to serve and protect pack members, and being ordered by Alphas could damage patient care. Normally, I would agree wholly, but then I see him pale and about to run.
“Doc!” I growl.
He sighs, turning slowly to face me as Eli finally catches up with me before putting himself between the doctor and me, making me look at him. I tilt my head to the side, looking at my Beta.
“Eli?”
“Not here,” Eli says when murmurs break out amongst the nursing staff. People move toward their doors in the ward to look at me standing in the main foyer. I glance around, wondering what is going on when my eyes dart to the waiting area and the TV high up on the wall.
Pushing past Eli, I move toward the small sitting area and peer at the TV. The heading reads: “Luna on the run, and she stole Alpha Axton’s twins.”
I blink at the screen, praying for this to be another Alpha with the same name. However, I have yet to meet one who shares the same name. My stomach sinks, and I turn to face the doctor, who cowers behind Eli.
“Axton?”
“Is it true?” I ask him.
“Yes, we can’t find her anywhere.”
“What about—” I can’t say it, instead staring at the screen over my shoulder. “Is Elena pregnant?” I ask him.
The doctor pales before nodding. “She said she wanted to tell you. Had I known she was going to run—”
I growl, my entire body shaking with the urge to shift. “Fucking lock it down,” I snap at Eli.
I have no fucking rank right now, and he has to do it.
“We have already locked down the hospital, Alpha,” the doctor blubbers.
“Not the hospital. Lock down the fucking city!” I growl, looking at Eli, who nods before rushing off.
“You’ll be dealt with later. Report to the fucking packhouse after shift,” I tell him before stalking out after Eli.

Elena
A shiver rushes up my spine from the lack of warmth before someone’s hands move underneath me. It makes me jolt awake as Jake picks me up from the couch. The motion of feeling like I am falling has my arms moving quickly to wrap around his neck. Jake tucks me closer into his chest.
“I got you. I won’t drop you,” Jake chuckles as my eyes fly open in alarm.
“Where is Alisha?” I groan as he starts wandering down the hall toward his room.
“She is in the spare room,” he says, nudging his bedroom door open with his hip.
“I was fine on the couch.”
“You’re not sleeping on the couch,” he says before kissing my temple.
My brows furrow, and I glance at him as he sets me down on his bed.
“What’s up with him?” Lexa groans, waking up sluggishly and peering out of my eyes as he moves around his room.
