Even after he had revealed the truth behind Aylin's family member's death, Vasili noticed Azimir's worried expression and he discerned at once that there was more to this matter. And just as he had expected, Azimir ran a hand through his disheveled hair and walked away from the window.
Instead of probing more into the matter, Vasili waited for his friend to calm down. Since the incident had shaken not only Aylin and Aranill but the entire world, there had to be more to matter than Azimir had told him. And from his friend's reaction and apprehension, Vasili understood that whatever he would be hearing next would definitely not be pleasant.
Already he was mortified to learn that the person who killed her family was not a human or a werewolf. They did not what entity he was. He wondered what more surprising matters would unveil themselves. Considering how anxious Azimir was, Vasili had already prepared himself for the worst.
"That man is not normal, Vasili." Azimir was too in distress every time he thought about this matter. "He does not dare meet Aylin in the open and he only sees her when she is asleep."
Vasili had already heard this before. So, he did not react much and waited for his friend to continue.
"And every time he meets Aylin, she will be unconscious and she cannot wake up until he leaves."
This time, Vasili's brows shot up to the sky and a chill ran down his spine. It surely was terrifying to have a stranger in the same room when asleep, especially when that someone was the person who killed the entire family.
Cold sweat trickled down his spine and even if he was not the one to experience such a petrifying incident, Vasili still felt his heart drumming madly in fear. His face paled instantly and Azimir did not miss the change in Vasili's expression. Yet, he did not stop at that.
"I wanted to find out what the man wanted of Aylin and how he usually interacted with her. So, I kept my ears trained on her manor the night he visited her. Not only did he enter the manor which was completely locked, but even the windows were also locked from inside and there were no hints of any breakage, he was even able to speak to a sleeping Aylin."
"And?" Vasili urged Azimir to continue when he did not get any reply for a long time.
"Every word he speaks to her, everything he does to her when she is asleep gets conveyed to her like a dream."
Vasili now finally understood the true meaning of fear. Previously, he had only been scared but it was not to the extent to make him lose his mind. But now, he was unsure what he was feeling but he was certain he did not wish to experience the same feeling ever again. His mind was a mess and more or less he wanted Azimir to stop speaking. Already he had broken out into a cold sweat and if this were to continue, he had an inkling that he would start having nightmares just by listening to the dreadful incident.
"She is able to hear him and even sense his emotions in her dreams. The man can convey his thoughts brilliantly to her even without having the meet her." Azimir still continued much to Vasili's anguish.
"I am worried, Vasili. I am really worried for Aylin and the people around her." Azimir finally stated his concerns and Vasili's expressions immediately mirrored Azimir's. Although he was mortified, he too was now scared. The man was unknown yet powerful. He had abilities that they could not even comprehend and if he was handled immediately, people would only die and considering how he had only attacked the people who Aylin was close to, it would soon be the turn of the people who she usually interacted with.
Vasili looked at his Alpha in fright. Was the man not the closest to Aylin right now? Did the demon approach him due to this reason? He wondered, his eyes dilating for a moment while his lips parted.
"Alpha..." He mumbled, his eyes conveying his thoughts clearly and Azimir shook his head immediately.
"No, Vasili. I will not give up on Aylin, ever. She will be my Queen and I will not let her go just like that. She is my life and letting her go will be no less me killing myself." Azimir stated with such resolve that Vasili had nothing to refute with. He discerned that if were to face such a situation, then he too would not give up on the woman he so dearly loved. Would it not make him a coward and unworthy of the woman's love if he were to leave her once he faced a problem?
Vasili stayed mum and lowered his head, reprimanding himself for his momentary loss of control. His duty towards his kingdom and his concern got the best of him and he completely disregarded all his other emotions. He now understood how foolish he had been to think about his Alpha's safety alone when a lot of people were in danger due to the despicable man who they did not know.
"I may be in danger. But Aylin is my love. So, I will do everything in my capacity to keep her safe and happy. She is mine to love and take care of and mine to protect. Without her, there is not Azimir." He expressed and this time, Vasili did not doubt him. He even appreciated the love his Alpha and friend had for the Commander of Aranill.
Although it had been just a few days since they met, the feelings Azimir had for the lady and Vasili perceived the innate possessiveness the wolves had for their mates to be the reason behind it. Though scared, he was also happy for his friend and he forced a smile out to show his support to him.
"What are you going to do now, Azimir?" Vasili queried after some time. By then, he had calmed his heart and was in control of his emotions. "Would Commander not be in a precarious situation since you are here and there is no one around her to protect her?"
"Not only I, some of the people Aylin is close to in the royal army know about this matter. So, they are protecting her in secret." Azimir sighed in helplessness and all of a sudden, he looked exhausted and Vasili felt bad for him. He had only fallen for someone recently, he had to deal with a lot of issues, ones that were potentially harmful to him as well as the others around him.
"Even though I want to stay by her side and protect her myself, I am bound, Vasili. I have responsibilities and I cannot ignore my kingdom and my people for my love."
Vasili nodded at his Alpha, impressed by his concern for his people. Even if his lady was in danger, Azimir had still chosen to return to his kingdom for his people and this was enough for him to deduce how good an Alpha King he would be once he gained the throne. He surely was worthy of the throne and the position.
"And considering how smart Aylin is, I am sure she has plans of her own and she will protect herself. Anyway, he will never harm her." Azimir sighed and looked up.
Silence ensued in the room and nobody spoke a word for a long time. Seeing the fire in the hearth was about to die, Vasili walked towards the hearth and squatted down. Carefully, he added two logs of wood and waited until they caught fire before he stood up again. His heart was heavy and it went out to the people Aylin had lost due to some monster obsession with her. The poor souls lost their lives and a strong sense of justice emerged in his heart. And even though he was in no way related to the matter, he wished to find the man and rip him apart for putting the Commander and his Queen through such agony.
A frown marred his forehead when he recalled Azimir's expression before he had revealed the truth. Something was bothering him, that was definite. But he could not comprehend what.
Vasili glanced at Azimir who was pacing back and forth in the room in agitation. He did not have to heart to stop him when he saw the distress he was in. But he had to ask him what was bothering him so much. After careful consideration, he made up his mind and stood in Azimir's path, stopping him eventually.
"Azimir, you said that there was something bothering you and you were unable to find the answer to your worries."
Azimir nodded at him lightly and recalled the matter that he had pushed aside for the time being.
"What is it? What is bothering you?"
Vasili's tone turned soft. Yet, he could not conceal his terror and apprehension and Azimir pursed his lips as he watched his Beta in front of him for a few moments.
Vasili raised his brows at him questioningly. Although he did not wish to delve more into this matter, he could stand still and watch his friend suffer alone. It broke him to see him losing his mind slowly. So, even though it was against his character to force anyone, he still went ahead and stood in front of Azimir in determination, not giving him a chance to escape from his question.
"Vasili, how do I say this to you?" Azimir started. "Do you know who planned the attack on Aylin and her warriors when she was returning to Aranill?"
"Was it not the Beta of Renada?"
Azimir shook his head and Vasili watched him carefully before his eyes widened in realization.
