Chapter 135 All Hope Lost

• Axel’s POV
• I sat in the cold, dark cell, my eyes staring at the rusted bars. The sound of dripping water echoed from somewhere far in the distance. It has become a constant in the background of my life now. A sound I could never escape, as if time itself was slowly draining away.
• Asher and Aiden were sitting on the other side of the room, their backs against the stone wall, their faces unreadable. But I knew the truth, I could feel it. Their hope had been drained, just like mine. We’d been broken, shattered, and it seemed like there was nothing left to hold onto. Everything had fallen apart.
