"What happened?" Alaric asked Wayne with a puzzled look. He wanted to comfort Ariana but wanting to know why she reacted in such a way first.
"I told her the truth. A little too much I guess" Wayne sighed and gestured for Alaric to have a drink with him.
Alaric nodded and followed behind. After what happened today, he too needed a drink. A strong one, "Which version of the truth you told her?"
"The whole truth. That Arabella was my girlfriend. The one I cheated with, behind my late wife's back. I told her I needed to keep her safe from my enemies. I have enemies everywhere. Her existence being half Human, needed to be kept a secret.. until of course, when I killed my enemy" Wayne sighed and sat on his chair facing Alaric.
