It was only a matter of ti before Augustus was called along with his mate, Patricia. The fruits have arrived right before them and now they were all here so it was obviously ti for revelations.
"Before we start talking," Javier addressed, "there is soone who is going to listen into this conversation. Everyone, I would like for you to et Alexandier."
Alexandier? Adeline frowned at the man who just entered the room. She narrowed his eyes at him slightly as she took him in. He appeared to be darker in skin colour and he had tattoos that were being out of his clothes. There was sothing about his face that made it seem natural and it was definitely not botox.
This man was not a shifter.
It was not just her that was paranoid when it ca to this man because Xavier moved closer to her too.
"He is a warlock." Xavier answered for her before he passed a curt nod into the direction of the male witch.
"A witch?" Adeline repeated looking at Xavier in question when she heard the n cough slightly.
"I am what you can call a wizard or a Warlock. Witches is a term used for females." He corrected her before moving close. "Luna Adeline Rivera."
Adeline blinked repeatedly before she straightened up in her chair and shook her head, "I am no—"
"Not yet, you are not," he agreed, "but I am rely using the title now that is going to be used in the future."
Adeline eye's hello word to the fruits for a few seconds before she looked up at him. "Um.. Warlock Alexandier?"
The man narrowed his eyes on her before he shook his head, "you have a lot to learn. Clearly." He comnted before he stepped back and took this seat directly in front of her, at the very end of the table.
Adelene felt herself grow warm at what he said. That was insulting and not to ntion embarrassing. Her cheeks were red which is why she lowered her head and concentrated on the piece of fruit that she played with.
"So," Alexandier spoke up in the silent room. "Don't we start from you?" While he said that his eyes were trained on Adeline, aning that she was the one who was able to start.
With a gulp, she began, "I.." she looked at Xavier, "I was in my room and as usual Xavier woke up." He passed her a small smile before adjoining their hands together and entangling their fingers giving Adeline so strength in the touch.
She continued, better than before, "he was the one who would wake us up and I found nothing out of the ordinary that day. He asked to go into the Jungle and play a ga of tag."
"Tag?" Korr questioned, his face twisted into a disgusted expression.
Adeline nodded when Tessa answered, "it is a human ga called chase in your language."
Adeline continued, "that out of the ordinary and when I questioned him he was rather inpatient which Xavier never really is. In the end I agreed to what he said and ended up running into the Jungle and I heard Sothing, Sothing heavy like, heavy footsteps co behind and the next thing I know is this-there is this, is so kind of," she sighed harshly before looking at her uncle, "soone kind of demon chasing !"
"Demon?!" The entire room went into an uproar and Xavier squeezed her hand knowing well that she would have an anxiety attack with how much attention she was receiving.
"Wait," it was Alexandier who spoke up and everyone stopped talking. Until he had spoken of the entire room had been a Chaos and no one understood anything.
"So that it was a demon?'
"Why do you ask her that?" Korr was the one who counter questioned. "Do you not believe the words she says? Listen to her heart beat and sll the scent, you know she is not lying."
Sll her scent? Adeline's face twisted in disgust. Did her uncle really say that?
"There is sothing that you do not understand here, Lycan," the warlock swirled to her uncle in the chair. "We as shifters and different creatures understand what can be a demon and what cannot be. For that girl, everything that looks hideous is going to be a demon."
"Now," he turned back in his chair and turned to Adeline, "the question is whether she saw the demon or not. Did anyone else see him? Cause I need verification from soone who can tell if he was a demon or not."
Why did it have to be anything more than it needed to be? Adaline did not understand that.
She knew what she had seen and there was no need for anyone else to co verify it but by the words of the warlock, it seed like everyone in the room was starting to doubt her words.
"How so?" Her aunt whispered. "What else could it be then?"
Alexandier clicked his tongue. "Do I need to say the dreaded question amongst all of you?" His words were rely above a whisper but in the quiet room They sounded clear and loud.
"We are not just dealing with demons here." He revealed and his eyes went to the young king. "We are dealing with the dead and how to bring people back from death. Imagine if you bring demons into the mix which is why I need to know this for sure."
Wait, what?
It did not take long for Adeline to figure out where and in which direction they were going. But it was not just that and she realised that is well.
There was sothing more to it, sothing that she was not aware of at the mont but was right there in front of her.
"What's going on?" She asked the dreaded question.
"What is it that you know and we don't," completed Xavier from behind her.
