The weekend wasn’t a long wait, and I got a slice of peace for once since I stayed in the packhouse, away from Axel. The warrior’s barracks were separated from the mansion, so the odds of me running into those two were none. However, Axel still sent me texts after my shifts asking me out on a date, which I always turned down.
Gosh, he just wouldn’t stop!
This time, his patience must have worn thin and gone back to being a prick.
[Axel: Wait up front. I’m picking you up.]
I quickly muted his number and put my phone on silent.
A black jeep pulled up the back gate and honked at me.
“Hop on, D!” Cris yelled and grinned. Seeing them after a while was like a breath of fresh air.
Dawn immediately captured me in a bear hug the second I sat with her at the back.
“I heard the news,” she said, rubbing my back. I didn’t realize how badly I wanted to be comforted until that moment and cried.
