ELIORA'S POV
Today is the day I'm going to tell Alex about his real parents. He's already 12 years old and mature.
"Are you sure? You want to do this alone?" Azriel asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
I leaned back and took a deep breath. "Yes. I want to do this alone." I said, not sure about I'm telling him or myself.
I've to do this one day, because if Alex got to know this from someone else, it'll be not good.
"Today is my brother's and sister-in -law's 12th death anniversary....and I'll take him to their cemetery." I turned back and hugged Azriel. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.
"You don't need to do this, we can still live like we did till now." He says, and I can sense hurt in his voice.
"Azriel....I know it will...hurt you.... but we need to do this." I said, pressing my face in his chest. I heard him take a sharp breath.
"Call me if you need me." He says, kissing my forehead. "Okay, I will." I replied and fixed his tie.
