Chapter 327

I’m dreaming, on some level I know that.

But it doesn’t stop my body shaking with fear.

I’m running through the dark halls of the mansion.

Except it doesn’t look like home, it’s all sinister and wrong.

It’s not a simple battle of wills.

It’s life or death.

And I know when he catches me, he’ll show no mercy.

He’ll kill me, and I won’t be able to stop him.

I don’t want Axel to kill me.

I want him to accept who and what I am.

I want him to love me.

He’s my mate, he’s supposed to be mine.

He’s supposed to be my happy ending.
