UNCHARTED PATH
Alex was still staring at his screen, Lucas’s unanswered chat burning into his eyes, when his phone buzzed with an unknown number.
For a split second, his chest tightened painfully.
Please, don’t let it be Mac Hunter. He thought within himself.
Swallowing hard, he answered, forcing his voice to stay steady.
“Hello?”
A low chuckle came through the line, slow, amused, unsettling.
“Hey, honey.”
Alex’s grip on the phone tightened instantly.
“I have someone you might be interested in saving his life here with me.”
