AXEL Seconds drag by painfully slow as I brace myself for a reaction. A hundred different scenarios race through my mind as Ivy holds my gaze, like she's pondering whether or not I'm being honest. Then she looks away and takes another draw from her vape. “Well, say something,” I grind out as nervousness threatens to swallow me whole. “There's nothing to say, Axel Grey.” What the…? Has she heard a single word of my confession to being a paranormal creature? She can't be this nonchalant to news like that, can she? It's impossible. For f**k’s sake she saw me shift, didn't she? I rake my fingers through my hair, grabbing a fistful in anxiety. “There’s nothing to say?” I repeat cynically. “Ivy, you just saw me shift into a huge, feral beast and… and you don't have anything to say?”
