Luna On The Run - I Stole The Alphas Son

Chapter 75

Axton POV

I jerk awake, my heart pounding in my chest and drenched in sweat. Peering up at the ceiling, I try to figure out what woke me. Was it just a nightmare? I can’t remember the dream if it was. Something feels wrong. My body is on alert, my senses heightened, and I’m overcome with a sense of fear and dread. I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins.

The room is dark and silent, broken only by my panting breaths.

“Elena…” I mumble, feeling her side of the bed. As I feel around for her body sleeping next to me, I find her side cold as if she hadn’t been there at all.

Fear creeps through my veins, and I sit up, looking toward the bathroom, but no lights are on either. I slowly sit up in bed, taking care not to make any sudden movements. I strain my ears, listening for any sound that might indicate the cause of my unease. I can hear my own heart beating in my chest and my breathing rhythm, but nothing else. I reach for my lamp and switch it on. My eyes dart around the room. I jump out of bed, looking frantically around the room for any sign of her while feeling for her through the bond. As I tug on the bond, Khan awakens.

“What is it?” Khan asks me. It takes a second for him to realize we can’t feel Elena. It’s almost like she is asleep, but we can usually feel her, sense her dreams, something. But we got nothing.

“Why can’t I feel her or Lexa?” Khan panics.

“Maybe she is asleep in the boys’ room?” I offer.

Stumbling blindly towards the boys’ bedroom door, I poke my head

in to find them both sleeping soundly. When I turn around, my eyes are drawn to the bedroom door. Seeing it open, I knew it was closed when we headed to bed. Fear courses through every fiber of my being, and I grab whatever clothes are closest and rush out of the room, heading toward Luke’s room. Shoving his door open, he jerks awake and rubs his eyes.

“What?” he grumbles while my eyes scan his room for any sign of her. My heart sinks when I realize that she’s not there, and I look back at him in despair.

As I step around the side of the house, the heavy air with dense fog made it difficult to see more than a few feet ahead. The fog dampened the sound of my breathing. Even the moon shone weakly through the haze, casting an eerie glow on the front yard. I stand still, listening carefully for any sound that may indicate where Elena is when I notice her
