Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 462 A Secret Base
Sylvia’s POV:
I was shocked by her answer. “Felix is your brother?” Nodding, Alva said, “Yes, my real brother!”
It was only in that moment I realized how similar Alva and Felix actually looked. They had the same colored hair and eyes.
I honestly never considered it because I thought the werewolves inside and outside the wall were not connected in any way at all.
I did not expect that the wall could separate siblings from each other.
“How do you know my brother? Did he ask you to come to see me?” Alva tugged on my sleeve with her tiny hands and bounced excitedly. “Why didn’t he come to see me yesterday? When can he see me again?”
“Yes. I am a friend of your brother.” I patted Alva’s head as she inched closer to me.
Fidgeting with the buns on her head, Alva asked, “Why won’t he come see me himself?”
I had to lie. “I can’t really get in touch with Felix right now. I was going to ask you if you knew where he was.” Frowning, Alva sighed. “I don’t know too. All I know is that my brother is always busy. He has to stay outside and work so that he can pay for me to stay here.”
“Isn’t this charity? It’s not free here?” My eyes widened. “No.” Alva shook her head. “I don’t even want to stay here. I want to stay with my brother.”
I sighed. “We have to find your brother first. I have to tell him something as well, but I can’t find him.”
After a moment of hesitation, Alva waved me over to come closer. “Come here, young lady. I’ll tell you a little secret.”
“What is it?” I whispered and wrapped her in my arms. “First, you have to promise not to tell anyone.” Alva stretched out her pinky.
I interlocked mine with hers and replied, “I promise.”
Alva smiled and suddenly spoke in a mysterious manner. “All the other children here are only allowed to see their families once a month, but not me.”
Amused by the Alva’s smug expression, I prodded, “Really? Why is that?”
Alva squealed and snorted like a little pig. “My brother comes to see me every night. Except last night. He was probably busy, I think.”
“How do you see each other?” I asked curiously. It couldn’t be that simple to get in and out of the orphanage. Although Felix was definitely cunning, he couldn’t be that smart. He was still a boy, after all.
“We have a secret base.” Alva finally revealed her secret.
I was happy that Alva trusted me enough, but I couldn’t help but warn her as well. “Alva, do not tell anyone else about your secret base, okay?”
“Why not?” Alva blinked those big innocent eyes others. “Well, if too many people know about it, it won’t be a secret base anymore. Right?”
Alva nodded. “I see.”
“Good girl.” I patted her head again. Deep inside, my heart pitied her. She was just a child, but she had to live like this. Now, I understood why Felix acted so hostile toward us.
“What do you want to tell my brother? I can say it to him when we see each other again next time.” Alva was such an angel that she even offered to be my messenger.
I hesitated. Afraid that Barlow would come back soon, I decided to just convince Alva to take me to her secret base.
After thinking for a while, Alva eventually agreed.
