Chapter 105: Aftermath (2)
Even without Spade telling who the aunt was that he was talking about, it was none other than Princess Norreen. Instantly, his grip on the alpha’s clothes tightened.
Fortunately, as it was only a name, the effect of his fear on her wasn’t enough to make him tremble. However, as his expression changed and somewhat became pale, he knew Spade had noticed something was wrong with him.
The alpha immediately became worried and furrowed his brows, Spade touched his cheeks and spoke in a concerned tone, "What’s wrong?"
Arren swallowed in difficulty, trying to calm himself, but his grip on the alpha’s clothes did not loosen. He opened his mouth, his eyes heating up, and he was hesitant to tell Spade the truth.
This was different from the things he was revealing to Spade about what he knew about the organization or the plot. In that situation, even if he was suspicious, he could still trust Arren’s words, or at least ponder them in a rational way so as not to hurt his feelings.
However, if he were to say the fear that he unreasonably had for Princess Noreen, he was afraid of the alpha’s reactions to his words. He knew how good his relationship was with his aunt, but even if he loved him, Arren wasn’t certain of his reactions, and this might change something in their relationship.
And even he didn’t know the reason why he was afraid of Princess Noreen, and he needed to make sure first before finally telling him about it. One reason he wasn’t ready to tell Spade was that he didn’t want the alpha to be conflicted between him and his aunt. Especially in their situation when the alpha had a lot of things to do, preparing on how to deal with the aftermath of the incident last night.
Arren didn’t want to add himself to his concerns.
"Can I just eat here in the room, please?" Arren spoke in a low, controlled tone, while he pursed his lips and gripped his clothes tightly as though wanting support.
