*Xander*
“Xander!”
I swung wildly into the dark, my clenched fist meeting with the side of someone’s jaw. My knuckles cracked against bone, my skin splitting with the impact. I roared with fury, fear, and pain.
I couldn’t see anything. Why couldn’t I see anything? Someone was holding me down, voices erupting nearby, all around.
“Sedate him–”
“Stick him with that needle, and it’ll be the last thing you ever do!”
Adrian’s voice rang through my ears, and I gasped, bucking against whoever or whatever was holding me down.
“I can’t see,” I rasped, whipping my head from side to side, “Adrian!”
“I’m here, Alpha.” I felt Adrian’s grip on my forearm and momentarily relaxed before reality rushed back to me, taking my breath away.
I thrashed against what felt like several people holding me down, the voices surrounding me now shouting in desperation to be heard.
“Xander, listen to me–”
“Where is Lena? Where–where am I?” I cut Adrian off, unable to hide the panic in my voice.
