Chapter 83

Della’s POV

How long was Albert awake and standing there? Did he hear everything about the fated mate thing?

I looked at him, frozen on my feet, trying to comprehend what just had happened. Good thing that Fae reacted faster than I was or we would have fallen in a long awkward silence.

Albert looked so shocked, but aside from that, what really took my attention was his eyes. It was filled with so much sadness and various emotions that flashed one after another in his eyes.

We were looking at each other for a long time.

“Are you alright?” I asked, but he didn't speak.

His reaction made me a little flustered. Albert always smiled gently and had never looked so serious. What's up with him?

“Albert, did you hear something?”

Fae tried to get his attention out from being in daze.

Albert blinked a couple of times before getting out of his daze. He took a deep breath, shifted his stance, and heaved a sigh.
