The silence was crushing, and every dark corner reminded me of our few good memories—each one nicking a piece of my heart.
Axel used to make me believe I meant the world to him, but before we were mates, I was nothing to him, and apparently, I still am.
I was fourteen when I first met Axel. Back then, he and Jena had always been glued together. I was only a background character in their little world, which I destroyed when I became Axel’s mate four years later.
It was unexpected and the pull was overwhelming, but the spark between us died out sooner because there were three of us in this relationship. All this time, I thought Jenna kept stealing Alex’s attention from me, but after what happened earlier, it was obvious that I had always been the third wheel. I came in between the two who were clearly into each other because of our damn fate.
