"Left?" Lady Hailee gasped, covering her mouth. "What do you mean he left? He has three bullet wounds! He just woke up from the spirit world!"
"Where did he go?" I pressed, stepping closer to the guard. "Who is with him?"

"To where?" I yelled, panic completely taking over. "Why would Knox let him leave in that condition?"
"We just got an urgent intel report," the guard answered, straightening his posture. "A tracking unit spotted Alex's scent profile moving near the border coordinates. He hasn't crossed into China yet. He's trying to slip through the mountains. Alpha Oliver received the report and demanded his armor immediately."
