135. Adrian

I stepped out from behind Jude's back, revealing myself.

"Gun down!" I yelled against the storm.

Jude tried to grab me, in an attempt to shield me again, but I swatted his hands away and stepped before him.

The man in front of me had long blond hair, bound in a ponytail. He was clearly middle-aged but especially beautiful. A long scar was on the side of his face, from his temple down to his jaw.

His blue eyes shook with shock when they fell on me; his lips forming a desperate whisper.

'Lilly.'

Who would have thought that Liliana's twin was a man? The idea hadn't even come to my mind. So Thomas' white moonlight had indeed been Liliana and not her twin?

Yet now, it didn't matter either way.

"GUN DOWN!" I repeated, scared that he shot Jude or me either purposefully or accidentally.

The man obliged, regaining his composure again.

He lowered his gun and smiled at me in a childish and heartbreaking manner.
