Chapter 57 

My heart didn’t stop racing until I reached the city limits, then a new fear rolled over me. Axton! I was risking so much coming back here, and I wasn’t naive enough to believe would skip over the border unnoticed. That assumption was correct the moment I am met with border patrol, and I am forced to stop. Bright lights shone down on me as I approached the barricade.

Lexa growls in my head. “I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.” She panics. If we reverse out, they will chase us. We don’t roll down the damn window. They will attack us.

“I’m visiting family,” I tell him. 

“Until we verify that, I need you to step out of the car,” he tells me when I see more patrols come over as back up. I grit my teeth and grip the gear stick, about to throw the car in reverse when I spot none other than Eli. Axton’s Beta walking over.
