Chapter 226: Why are you alive?
It was tough. To act normal when all she was thinking about was how to tell the truth to Dexter.
The truth about what she was doing with the wolves so late at night, why she needed him to sneak and go to the forest, what were the royal vampires doing there, and why she needed to hide her identity.
Elliana looked around as she walked inside the University, feeling jittery.
She knew Dexter would believe and support her in whatever madness it was, yet the scared part of her, the child inside her who had lost all her friends one by one since childhood felt scared.
Elliana turned around and noticed that unlike always, the car that dropped her there was still standing, as if waiting for her to get inside the University.
Her suspicion was right. Mr. Marino has become highly suspicious of her. Elliana sighed.
"Hey," Someone said to her from her left, and she nearly jumped in her place.
"Woah, that was some strong reaction. What were you thinking about?" Daniel asked Elliana, and she chuckled awkwardly.
"It’s nothing," She smiled.
"I am sure it’s not nothing. Are you okay? Did you rest well at home?" Daniel asked, not probing her more, fidgeting in his place as he didn’t know how to approach her.
He wishes he had the same confidence as Dexter, who approaches her without a care in the world and acts however he wants with her.
