---- He stared as if waiting for her to continue.

But Alexia didnt knew what more to say.

She looks at anything but at him.

Your parents? Family.

My parents didnt want me...

I was left in an orphanage.

Aman adopted me from there and soon after I ran away from him.

Adrian blankly stares.

Not saying anything.

And Alexia squirms in her seat.

Your parent's names? Title? don't...

know.

Adrian sighs to nod.

Dropping on the seat opposite him , he questions or rather starts interrogating her.

What were you doing with Damien when Scout found him? J...

[have been accompanying him.

He saved me from a creature once so I have been following him ---- Chapter 481 since then.

The way Adrian looked at her? It was evident.

He didn't believe her.

Alexias grip on the little test tube bottle in her pocket tightens.

He was the werewolf King...

she should give it to him.

But she couldn't do that without Damien telling her to.

In the end Damien was the one who gave it to her to keep safe.

She will only return it to him.

Do you know what happened to him? Adrian asked, his voice low but sharp.

Alexia gulped, her throat tightening: The creatures attacked us and one managed to grab his leg.

Cutting his leg was the last resort.

Adrian's jaw clenched.

And where did this happened exactly? ---- Alexias hand turn clammy, her eyes drop.

Should she tell him? But what if Damien didn't wanted Adrian to know about it A glass of water is extended towards her on the table and Alexia looks between the glass and Adrian.

T understand you are wary.

And its not just you You need to understand that if you dont trust us, trusting you in return is going to be difficult.

Everyone here has proved their loyalty to me.

And so they all are my family and I will protect them with my life...

Hower trusting a new person is difficult.

You never know who all are secretly working with the dark forces.

hope you understand child.

In the times that we live in? Trust is the most difficult to buy.

Sweat dribbles down Alexias forehead.

He was not wrong.

Trust is a two way bridge.

She has to tell him...

something.

Ifnot everything.

So I will ask you again.

Where did it happen? ---- o Where did the creatures attacked you' The Royal Castle.

Adrian's eyes flood with confidence.

As if he knew , it must be there.

A hope shines in his eyes as he leans closer.

Did...

did Damien reach my office...

did he...

King Adrian was struggling to find the correct words.

Not knowing how to ask her this without revealing much and Alexia stared at him, taking in his every action.

Did he brought something from there? Did he gave you something to keep safe.

Alexia again tightly gripped the test tube in her palms.

Gulping.

Tt was this.

He was asking about this.

Should she tell him?noveldrama
