The longing in Jax's eyes tore at my resolve, and his words shredded everything I thought I knew. Simply loving Trent, promising to be with him until I died wasn't enough. If I didn't let him claim me, in the vampire world, that meant I wasn't fully committed to him.
Why hadn't he told me that?
Now, more than ever, I needed to make a prison break. Jax refused to change me, though, and I couldn't stand to be in this room another day, so what was I supposed to do? Ask the witches to bring Trent here so he could change me? That would destroy Jax's heart. I blew out a breath.
"I meant what I said. I won't tell Trent anything," Jax said.
I frowned. "We have to tell him. I can't live with this hanging over my head."
Jax crossed his arms over his chest. "Are you prepared for his reaction?"
I shrugged.
