Chapter 69: Seeking Pack Redemption

He's going to kill her.

It killed Jaxon to see Bailey helpless in the monster's grasp. My fault. All my fault. I should have fought harder. Been stronger. Not caved in to the wickedness controlling my mind. A wickedness that haunted him still.

The nightmare of the past few days shamed him. He'd betrayed his pack, his brothers, but worse than all that, he had handed the woman he loved over to a killer and condemned her to torture. Harder to swallow, she'd forgiven him even though he deserved to die. And if I don't do something, she'll perish right in front of me as I watch.

Bunching his muscles, he strained to free himself, to move his frozen limbs, to no avail. He lacked the strength to fight the invisible chains that bound him, forcing him to stand as if a statue, a spectator to the unfolding events.
