Hearing the exact same words from her mouth had me trembling, scared, and confused. I stumbled back, unable to breathe. I told my friends about these dreams I’d been having, and they said it was just the wedding nerves. I kind of felt relieved to think it might just be a silly dream, but what’s this happening in front of me?
I squeezed onto Axel’s arm to steady myself. The world was suddenly spinning in a haze and I couldn’t tell which was real or fake. Nothing made any sense.
Then, I heard Axel cursing under his breath, which never happened in the dream. My head snapped, looking at him, and I saw the embarrassment, annoyance, and concern he was hiding behind his poker face, but his tender gaze at Jena betrayed him. Seeing that cleared my head like waking up from a wicked spell but to another nightmare.
“You just told me you love me last night. Don’t do this to me, Axel. Please,” Jena begged, bawling.
“Enough, Jena. We’ve already been through this. Diana is my mate, and we are swearing our bond to the moon goddess tonight,” Axel said, making me feel a little guilty. I assumed he was looking out for Jena as usual, but was he actually doing it for me?
