I'm dead steps, she read my mind.

"Mom" I tried to speak.

"Shut up Alexa, I'll talk to you later. You really are a fool to keep this dangerous thing away from me. Don't you think of us as your parents anymore?!" She was clearly furious now.

"Actually I only know Alexa was attacked by the vampire clan in Paris, Mrs. Catherine. When she met me she didn't even know who attacked him. She was injured by the knife that pierced his chest and arm, although it was not badly. I arm her with a protective spell necklace. The spell necklace automatically protects the heart. And immediately reacts as a protective shield immediately if there is any danger being noticed by the wearer. I just talked to Alexa again now".

Luckily he didn't mention Alexander's women, if he mentioned them in front of Mother, there would be an end here. I breathed a little relieved.

"You wanted to be killed in Paris, and you didn't even want to tell your parents. What do you think Alexa?" Mother's voice rose.

"Why are you being attacked?" Now Mother turns to me.

"Mom, I was only hurt a little. I don't want to spoil the cooperation between clans. I take my responsibility. The world of vampires is not the same as ours, the competition between their families is much tougher and enemies sometimes take advantage of the opportunities that exist. I am a force for the Ostrander clan politically. I was attacked because they considered me a weak mortal. I'm protected now, I never go out without my bodyguard again. Even yesterday when in London I actually brought a bodyguard from Alexander. At first Lord Valerie and Madam Joanne wanted to formally apologize, but I felt that it was unnecessary. We are facing a big war, many bigger things ahead of us. I'm sorry I hid this from you Mom." I explained as best I could and looked down hoping that Mother would not continue this matter.

"Who was with you when you were attacked?"

"I was having lunch in Saint Martin with Louise Van de Gaff, we were attacked in the parking lot at night after we were leaving."

"I didn't think I would hand you over to a family full of contention. This can't be tolerated, if your own safety is compromised, I will break this bond. Do they already know your attacker?"

I'm scared, no I don't want this engagement to end.

"Mom, Alexander has done everything to protect me. Our engagement is fine. He's already investigating it, and he will take action once this war is over. After the deployment of force for war was completed. Right now we don't want to create an internal commotion that will ruin the atmosphere between the clans. I've also been told who my assailant is. And I'm safe now, no need to worry about me mom"

My mother looked at me for a long time and thought, while I dared not challenge her eyes. Meanwhile, Ourinko didn't dare to speak beside me.

"You are clumsy and often act alone Alexa! You always thought you could handle everything on your own, even though your calculations weren't mature since long ago!"

I was silent, Alexander also got angry because I always act alone.

"I also know about Syria's problem, you forced your brother to open up the authority for second-level military operations. And after that you got hurt and Alexander had to take you to Syria. If your father finds out you can imagine what happened!"

Mother sighed. If it's like this, this problem will become big, I won't be able to dodge it anymore. I was silent, my brain was looking for a way out of this tight condition.

I was surprised at Mum's question. Mum stared straight at me.

"Mom" I froze. That question I never expected.

"Alexa answered my question honestly." Mother's voice is low. She wanted my confession.

"Yes." I answered that question eventually. We love each other. I didn't want us to split up because of this trivial matter. We had to fight to deal with this problem.

Mom looked at me for a long time, before she finally pulled out her cell phone. I don't know who he called. I was silent waiting.

"Alexander, it's me Catherine, Alexa's Mother. I want you and Alexa to talk to me and Alexa's dad tonight at eight o'clock. Alexa will open the vortex for you. I already knew about Alexa's assault in Paris. I want to talk to both of you, especially with you."

Mom paused for a second Alex must have been surprised. I need to talk to him before he faces Mom.

"Fine, I wait."

Mom disconnected the phone. If you're going to get this problem involved. It won't be easy!

"Go back to London tonight. I'll talk to your father. Alexander is coming tonight."

"Mom, can't we just talk to you?" I'm still bidding.

"Alexa, I don't keep secrets with your father, let alone concern our children. You'll learn that too in the future. The husbands spoke openly with each other. It can't be compromised. I'll shut up about Syria, because it's passed. But about your assault it's a big deal, I'm not putting my son's life down to people I can't trust."

Mom's words can't disprove. Importantly this problem does not worsen and reach the ears of the grandfather. Mom stood up. I sighed a long sigh.

"Fine, I'll be back in London after this." I think, maybe it's good that we all talk. I believe Alexander will be able to convince my parents.

"And I'm looking for you, because your dad and a meeting of advisers decided you were going to be the coordinator of the healing backup team. He wants you to set up the witches healers. Next week an inter-clan meeting will be held, we will go into a war strategy soon." Mom left me with Ourinko.

"Sorry Alexa" Ourinko looked at me.

"It's okay, it's not your fault at all." I sighed. Coincided with my phone going off. Message from Alexander.

'We can talk?'

'Yes, call me. ' My phone immediately rang.

"I'm sorry I didn't know that I listened to my talk and Ourinko." I feel guilty about bringing Alexander to this issue.

"It's okay, it's all happened. I'll be forthright about the whole thing. You have nothing to fear. I'll assure them, you and I we'll explain this. ' Alexander's voice was calm, it seemed he was sure enough to confront my parents.

"Alex, don't mention that it's those women who are jealous of me!" I thought of the amount he mentioned to me. Mum would call him a "woman killer" and it could be that our engagement would be decided.

"Alexa, I have to be honest. But I won't mention the list. Indeed, it was pretty scary, at first I couldn't believe you could even take it. But seeing you accept me anyway, I finally know you love me so much".

I fell silent to hear the words.

"Calm down, all will be fine, we'll be fine." That grown-up voice said steadily to calm me down.

"Okay I'll open the vortex to my room at eight at night." I was hoping everything would be OK. Perhaps as his punishment would be temporarily in London and could not be in Paris with Alexander.

"All right. See you later tonight." Alexander hung up on him.

All right Alexa. You'll be fine. Pray Dad was not a big upset listening to this and Mom delivered this well.
