Her ash eyes wandered around the living room before they fell on me. I swished the contents around in my glass while she held hers. Deciding that she was never going to talk, I went first.

"You said you came to talk about the Tribrid?" I questioned and she nodded dropping her glass on the stool we provided for her.

"Yes but I'm here to talk to you only." She said in a tiny voice and I stared at her shocked. She wanted the guards to leave?

"My guards need to be around me," I answered haughtily and sipped a little out of my glass. "But they'll leave for a quick moment so hasten your words."

I signaled to the guards to leave and they all briskly walked out of the living room leaving the girl and me behind. She looked at me with a straight face and I gave her a stern look.

What? I have trust issues.

"I-I was going for an early morning run when I saw him." My heart skipped a beat as she spoke of him.

"He was cleaning his face off the blood at the lake. The beautiful lake near the borders of my pack, my father sort of owns it. He laid back on the sand then suddenly got up and left. B-but before he did, I took a picture but it turned out blurry. When I looked at the picture, it looked like he was staring at me. His red eyes were haunting." She rushed out stammering a little.

So, she was the one Alpha Adrien didn't want to speak of.

"How did you give the picture to Alpha Adrien?" I asked wanting to know her status in her pack.

"He is my father. I know you might be shocked but he doesn't like anyone knowing of my existence. He is overprotective." Her head lowered sadly as she spoke and I smiled sadly too.

Sounds familiar.

"So you sneaked out?" I asked and she nodded giving me a mischievous smile which I liked. "Cool." I completed and she nodded giggling a little.

"Thanks. Your husband and my father are good friends. I heard you don't show yourself outside so I was scared that you were hideous but you are really beautiful. Breathtaking in fact." Her words made me laugh and turn red at the same time.

"Thank you, Avery. So, what did this Tribrid look like?" I asked with curiosity at its peak.

"He looked so damned and beautiful. Like an angelic demon. I couldn't believe my eyes. The scenery of him and the lake was mesmerizing. I guess the legends are true." She said with so much courage and thoughtfulness that the shyness she had displayed earlier flew out of the window.

My heart lurched at her explanation. Damn, he's a model now.

What was with me and this monster? "Why did you come to tell me?" I asked sincerely. Normally, this was a case the Alpha would handle.
