“Is that why you don’t like me, Axel?” Caleb asked, crossing his arms over his chest. “Because you think I lie?”
“I don’t think you lie. I know you lie,” Axel replied. “So does my dad, and so do the other Alphas.”
“You’re an Alpha now, too,” Caleb chuckled.
“Wasn’t my choice,” Axel said.
“Wasn’t mine either,” Caleb replied coldly.
They locked eyes. Axel felt the hostility coming off Caleb.
“That anger you feel right now towards my family. Are you surprised I don’t think you and Ashleigh should be together?”
“You don’t know me, Axel.”
“No, I don’t, and I don’t need to,” he replied.
“I love Ashleigh, and she loves me. That is a fact. Whatever else there is between our families. That fact won’t change,” Caleb stated firmly.
Axel took a deep breath and moved back to the table where Caleb sat. He set his bag down in the chair and looked at Caleb.
“You lie to each other,” Axel said.
Caleb shook his head.
