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.
