“No offense, Grandma, but I don’t think a pep talk will end the war and bring peace to the territories,” Axel sighed.
Lily smiled.
“No,” she said. “But that’s not why I’m here.”
“Then what?”
Lily stepped closer, and between them, a small bench appeared.
“Let’s sit,” she said, taking a seat.
Axel saw no reason not to. He joined her on the bench.
“I’m here,” Lily began. “Because you are now aware of the miracle growing inside your mate.”
Axel’s eyes widened, and he turned to face Lily, clenching his jaw as his fingers curled into tight fists.
“How do you know about that?” he demanded.
“Calm down,” Lily smiled. “Even if I were a threat, this is a dream, remember?”
Axel took a deep breath, relaxing his body.
“You have every reason to be concerned,” Lily said.
Axel closed his eyes, clenching his jaw again.
“The Dark Queen’s manipulation of your blood has left a ticking time bomb inside of Alice.”
