JUNIPER I couldn’t stop pacing back and forth in my room as I waited for Axel to arrive. After Ethan left, I knew I had to tell Axel about our kiss as soon as possible. I wasn’t sure if I had technically done anything wrong, but I learned from the mistake I made with Asher. I wasn’t about to make the same mistake with Axel. However, knowing I was about to tell Axel I had kissed his brother made me want to throw up. After how the conversation went with Asher, I was terrified that Axel would walk away and not want anything to do with me. The easy thing to do was to keep the kiss to myself. If Ethan failed to find a witch to help me in the week I allotted, then I’d be leaving Axel anyway. I didn’t want to lie to him, though. As terrifying as it was to tell him, I was more afraid of lying
