Ashleigh and Caleb sat together on the couch. They waited patiently for the response after having delivered their report on the events of Moonguard.
Though she had been warned about the betrayal by Moonguard and the elimination of the pack, Corrine was unprepared for the rest of the story. She found herself at a loss for words.
Axel sighed and rubbed his temples in frustration while Alice looked at Ashleigh with a curious smile.
“A year ago… this story would have had me sending you for evaluation at the hospital,” Axel groaned. “It still should. How the hell is this real?”
“I swear, Axel… it is,” Ashleigh said softly, pleading with her brother to believe her.
“Oh, I know it is,” Axel sighed again. “That’s the most irritating part. At this point, I don’t know if you could say anything that I wouldn’t believe… that is the world we have been living in.”
