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.
