Chapter 85: Rescue Mission
ARIA POV
The alarm blared as I smashed the glass case and grabbed the keycard. Red lights flashed all around me, but I didn’t have time to be afraid.
"They know we’re here," Emma whispered, checking her watch. "We have three minutes before security arrives."
I nodded, trying to ignore the pain in my chest. After learning that my sister planned to offer my babies at the blood moon ritual, I had rushed back to the cabin to find chaos. Jaxon was lost again. The doctor had drugged him and taken him while we were busy.
"This way," Emma said, pointing down a long white hallway. "Level 3 is where they keep their test subjects."
Test subjects. The words made my blood run cold. Jaxon wasn’t just a prisoner—he was a lab experiment.
We raced through the gleaming building, hiding whenever guards rushed past. My babies kicked frantically inside me, feeling my fear and determination. I pressed a hand to my belly, quietly promising them that Uncle Jaxon would be safe soon.
"How did you get access to this place?" I asked Emma as she swiped the stolen keycard at another door.
"I used to work here before I realized what they were really doing," she admitted. "Testing on werewolves, trying to create super-soldiers."
The door slid open, showing a stairwell. As we started down, Emma stopped suddenly.
"Wait," she said. "Do you feel that?"
