章 20: Chapter 20

The only reason Cam didn't die the minute Axel woke was because Laura sobbed over him. They'd saved her. Not that he got to enjoy that fact. The injury gave him some trouble, meaning he spent part of his time in a feverish delirium. Even got a bit irrational at one point, wondering if his brothers and sisters made it away safe.

Gunner made a detour to the forest, allowing him a chance to commune with The Wild. To reassure himself that the wolgar at least made it out without losses. They'd all escaped with only a few injuries to show for it. A miracle in many respects.

But he couldn't be happy about it, not when the Earl remained a threat. Axel had no doubt the man would try and take Laura away from him again.

I should have killed him when I had the chance.
