The invasions were horrible but they couldn’t have come at a better time. With this, I could avoid seeing Axel, but it came with a downside. He was bombing my phone with clingy texts, asking me how I was doing, or if I already ate, and it was a pain to look at.
Was he high on mushrooms? Why was he doing things he had never done?
Gosh! I felt sorry for myself when I sent him the same messages that never got answered.
I put my phone away and kept ignoring Axel. My phone buzzed again a second later, but this time it was a voice chat from my best friends.
“Hey, D! Training’s done at the Royal field. We feel so bad missing your wedding, so free your weekend. We’re gonna have a blast!”
I felt a pinch in my heart. They were training closed doors so they probably hadn’t heard the news. Cris and Dawn would go berserk once they found out.
The weekend wasn’t a long wait, and I got a slice of peace for once since I stayed in the packhouse, away from Axel. The warrior’s barracks were separated from the mansion, so the odds of me running into those two were none. However, Axel still sent me texts after my shifts asking me out on a date, which I always turned down.
Gosh, he just wouldn’t stop!
This time, his patience must have worn thin and gone back to being a prick.
[Axel: Wait up front. I’m picking you up.]
I quickly muted his number and put my phone on silent.
A black jeep pulled up the back gate and honked at me.
“Hop on, D!” Cris yelled and grinned. Seeing them after a while was like a breath of fresh air.
Dawn immediately captured me in a bear hug the second I sat with her at the back.
“I heard the news,” she said, rubbing my back. I didn’t realize how badly I wanted to be comforted until that moment and cried.
Cris drove away from the pack mansion and they took me to a club. Dawn ordered four rounds of drinks as soon as we got in and got wasted, talking shit about Axel and Jena and hitting the dance floor. At some point, I remember checking my phone for time and seeing hundreds of miscalls, but had no clue what I did after blacking out.
