The Hybrid

"Arrgh... Why is no one believing me? I am telling the truth." Asher whined like an offended child. He frowned and leaned further into the chair.

"What do you know about the black venom, Marcel?" Axel asked, ignoring the whiny baby beside him. 

Marcel narrowed his eyes. "Why are you asking about the venom?" That was one question he was not expecting today, but somehow he was grateful it came up. Still, he wanted to know why Axel was asking about it.

"Because I think I found her." Axel replied. Even though he wasn't a hundred percent sure that Alita was the venom, he had a strong feeling that she was. He would have found out by now if the stupid dogs had not gone ahead to attack her and kill her friend.

Ever since the incident, he had been berating himself for not seeing it coming. He should have known better, that the king will not send five men alone when dealing with anything that concerns him.
