Axel held Bell tightly as she let it all out.
He reassured her and patted her back, whispering that she had an entire pack that would keep her safe from anyone who would dare to threaten her.
It was almost an hour that she cried. She was exhausted by the time she had finally calmed down.
“Are you ok?” Axel asked softly as he pulled away from her.
“Yes,” Bell said, laying back down in the bed, hugging her pillow to her chest. “I just had a lot of pent-up feelings.”
“I’m sorry,” Axel sighed. “I shouldn’t have said anything….”
“It’s alright,” Bell said. “I needed to know.”
“I should let you rest,” he said, seeing how tired she was.
“Wait,” Bell called before he stood from the bed.
“Yea?”
Bell swallowed and took a breath.
“He is Tomas’ son,” she said.
“What?!” Axel shouted in surprise.
“Ssshh!”
“Sorry, that was just not what I expected.”
