"Three days?" Ivan asked, stunned.
"Come on, Axel, three days are a lot, aren't you going to talk to me in those three days? It's not like I'm planning to be with her any time soon. I get that my dad wanted me to go be with her, but he didn't say he would bring her here, he didn't ask me, so he cannot force my interaction with her. You said it yourself, that your mate is not here, and since I don't have mine, we can just mess around until we leave this place."
The certainty in Ivan's voice drained the strength out of Axel.
Just mess around?
Only when they are in there?!
So Ivan was actually planning to be with the girl when everything ended? He was planning to forget whatever they had once they stepped outside this academy?
The realization hit Axel deeper than anything that had happened earlier. If their connection held so little weight to Ivan... if it was something he could walk away from without even hesitating, then what would happen once Axel told him the truth?
