CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
MAX
I'm awoken at 6am by a pounding on the front door. I get up, careful not to wake Victoria, and go out to see what's happening.
James, our beta, is standing on the doorstep.
"You have to come quick," he says. "There's a fire."
I look out into the woods and see a faint orange glow in the distance. The fire is miles away, but it's still terrifying to see. Something must have happened. I can't imagine what it is.
This fire is serious. If it's not under control, it could spread all over the camp. It's going to tear through the forest fast, and if it reaches us, the pack could be in serious danger. Lives could be lost.
I can't let that happen.
