Chapter 32
Kaeleen’s POV
Rage, raw and untamed, clawed at my insides as I watched Leon’s car disappear down the road, taking Astrid with it. I balled my fists, the urge to shift and tear after them overwhelming. Every instinct screamed at me to chase them down, to rip Leon apart limb from limb, to bring Astrid back to safety.
I took a step forward, ready to give chase, when Alex grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks.
"Where do you think you’re going?" he asked, his voice firm.
"I’m going after her," I growled, my eyes burning with fury. "I’m not going to let him get away with this."
Alex shook his head, his expression grim. "You can’t, Kaeleen. Not now."
"What are you talking about?" I snapped, pulling my arm away from his grasp. "He has Astrid! I have to save her!"
"Save her?" He asked me incredulously. "You and I both know she walked into that shit herself."
"But it’s a trap."
"And she knows that. She knew it was a trap and she walked into it for you and us. Think about the consequences, dude. This isn’t our territory. We’re outnumbered. We don’t even know where he’s taking her," Alex said.
