He was right. I was not as fearless as I made people believe was.

He took another swig of his liquor. That was good; I needed him as drunk as he could be for the question I was about to ask.

“Do you want to know, little mate?”

“Yes, I do.”

“And you will, only if you tell me how you got those scars.

A frown formed on my face; I had my back to him so he wouldn’t notice it. I had told nobody about my scars, no other person but Aric. Not even my father knew the full story.

Alexander was curious about my scars, just as much as I was curious to know what happened to his own parents, and while I would have never told him the truth of how I got these scars, there was no harm in telling him now; he was drunk, and he would probably forget it all, but I would get the truth out of him.

Aric would tell me it wasn’t wise to share your fears with your enemy. I wondered if that’s who Alexander was. My

enemy.

He prompted.
