Chapter 96
Julie's point of view
I entered my room with a body trembling from the adrenaline and locked the door behind me as if closing a fortress gate.
Axel was still sitting in his place, staring at the TV screen with a suspicious silence.
I threw myself onto the bed without taking off my shoes, feeling a massive weight pressing on my eyelids while my racing breaths gradually slowed, until I lost consciousness in a deep sleep.
I didn't wake up until I felt the touch of a rough, wet tongue licking my face; I opened my eyes in terror and pushed my head back, screaming in a muffled voice:
"Axel! You scared me!"
My body hadn't yet adjusted to the presence of this massive creature in my private space.
I muttered confusedly while rubbing my eyes:
"How long have I been asleep?"
My gaze turned to the hanging clock; it was seven in the evening. I jumped from my spot and shouted in shock:
"Oh my God! Did I sleep all this time?"
