I looked over the mess that seemed to mirror the chaos of my life and felt tired. I’ve had enough of Axel forcing me to yield to Jena every time.
“So, you called me just to say that?” I asked, devoid of emotions.
“What else do you want me to say, Diana?” Axel became defensive. “I’ve told you like a hundred times. Nothing’s going on between me and Jena. I’m looking after her because she’s the Alpha’s daughter.”
That blatant lie was more painful than the molten lava that tortured me last night.
I didn’t get him. He should’ve rejected me outright if he felt strongly enough toward Jena to bond with her even if they weren’t mates. Why keep me around if he was only going to hurt me?
“Come by the hospital and apologize,” he said and hung up.
I sighed and scrolled through the call registry. Axel was accusing me of something pretty interesting and it had me curious. For once, he wasn’t lying. I did, call him fifty times and then rang up Jena.
I opened the voicemail I sent her and honestly, it was scary.
“Let the stars be my witness, the moon, my judge. I swear to the eternal night sky, you will suffer ten times as much the pain you caused me.”
