A rogue

It's the first day back to school and everyone is quiet in the hallway. As it's only pack members accepted here, no one dares to make a sound after the events of the last week. We all walk past each other, keeping our heads down.

Even Caroline and her minions are in a corner, with empty expressions on their faces.

I looked around for Axel, but he was nowhere to be seen. I am still a bit upset about everything so I didn't message him and he didn't reach out either. I started to grow more and more anxious over the weekend and I shoot him an 'How are you?' message, in the morning, but he didn't reply yet. A few members of neighborhood packs will come this week to discuss aid requests, so he may be busy, but still... it's been a bit long to forget about your mate.
