"…Everything?" Nero asked softly.
Alex subconsciously swallowed as the Vampire Lord's question hung in the air.
He didn't dare to move.
He didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
Because right now… he was absolutely certain that if he muttered even a slightly displeasing answer, those would be the last words he would speak in this lifetime.
"Father," Evangeline said, tightening her hold on Alex's arm. "You're scaring him."
"I am merely asking a question." Nero shrugged. "A very simple one."
Simple?
Alex almost wanted to laugh.
There was nothing simple about a question that could determine whether he would live to see the next sunrise.
"So, what my daughter said earlier… Is it all true?" Nero asked, his tone calm. However, his gaze was anything but calm. "You already did everything with my daughter?"
In that brief moment, Alex wished he could drink Chuck's conqueror potion.
