My heart fluttered thinking he had finally put me before Jena, but she always had a knack for raining on my parade, and I shouldn’t have had my hopes up.
“No! I’d rather just die than see you marry her!” Jena screamed, slipping away from the warriors and pulling a silver dagger to her neck.
Everyone gasped. The Alpha tried to save his daughter from her stupidity but Axel was faster. In a split second, he left my side and took the dagger from Jena before it dug too deep.
She leaned weakly in his arms, cupping his face while looking as if she was about to die from a mere scrape. Then, after whispering how much she loved him, she fainted.
The temple shook with chaos, and I didn’t know what to do. Axel quickly rushed down the aisle, carrying Jena. I called out to him in panic, but what he did rooted me, frozen in tears at the Altar.
“Not now, Diana. I have to get Jena to the hospital,” he coldly said without looking back.
Axel ran out of the temple with everyone following him, and I was left all alone in that cold temple with nowhere else to go but the empty house he and I had been living in for the past four years.
