Chapter 138: What Happened to Axel

(Leo Bloodstone POV)

So what happened to my little brother?

Well, this is what my father was able to piece together.

While I tossed a football around with another alpha pup, Axel had been playing on the swings. He kept getting off of the swings and asking Beth for permission to play with the bunnies that he saw running wild in the forest behind us, but Beth would not let him.

We could only guess that when Beth got distracted, he decided to chase after them anyway. Bunnies being bunnies, they likely led him on quite the chase. Axel was a pretty fast four-year-old, but he was also pretty clumsy. Tiny parts of his shirt were found deep into the forest, as though his shirt had snagged on them as he was running.

Of course, as a four-year-old, Axel did not understand or appreciate pack boundaries. As a result, we suspect that he had no idea that he crossed through multiple packs on his little journey until it was much too late.

Eventually, Axel ran into a small group of rogues.
