“Don’t bother,” I cut him off. “Meet me at the training ground cafeteria at lunch.” I hung up immediately.
They love making scenes, I would make them a scene.
Dawn wanted to join me as backup when she found out, but I told her I would be fine. I went to the cafeteria early then grabbed the centermost table and waited for them to come.
Jena always made sure I wasn’t alone with Axel, so I knew she’d tag along. A few minutes later, I was
right. Axel walked up to my table with her hiding behind him.
“Jena said she wanted to talk to—”
“Diana, I don’t think this is a good place for a conversation.” Jena butted in. “How about…”
“Here is fine.” I cut her off, not hiding my contempt. The cafeteria was packed. Almost everyone in Crimson Wolf was here. Why would I change such a perfect stage?
Axel cleared his throat. “Let’s grab a bite first.”
“Hmm.” I shrugged, disinterested.
Axel ordered enough food to fill the table, and I almost gagged watching them eat while flirting like newlyweds in their own world.
I scoffed. “Cut to the chase, Axel. I don’t have all day.”
Axel looked at me as if he just remembered I was there.
