Chapter 981: The hard truth (3)

"Is Axel treating you well?" Valerian asked Talia while hoping she would talk about Sophia and Isaac so he could stir the topic to how they treated her and the whole Red Moon pack business.

"Axel treated me well before confirming we were related. He is my proxy and acts as the Alpha in my absence."

Seeing that Talia didn't want to talk about the bad things, Valerian decided on a different strategy. "Tell me about the pack."

"Before I took over as the Alpha, Sophia and Isaac were leading the Midnight Guardians pack. They believed that safety was in secrecy, so the pack members stayed mostly inside. I decided to change that policy, and now we have many new mated couples and a large number of pups on the way. Damon is helping me make it happen while keeping our people safe…"

Valerian was disappointed that Talia didn't confide in him and tell him the bad things she went through, but he also knew he was absent from her life. Was he worthy of her trust?
