Vasili was at a loss of words for a long time and all he did was gape at the man in front of him. It was unbelievable to even think about the incident let alone see it to be the truth. He did not know what to say or even how to react, considering how twisted the situation was.
Azimir too stayed silent when he saw the look of realization on his Beta's face. He nodded at him lightly in affirmation and Vasili's heart almost burst out of his chest in horror. Why would the man try to harm Aylin if all he wanted was her? What was he trying to do by attacking Aylin?
Vasili's state of total confusion was not hidden from Azimir who at the moment was in a similar condition. He too could not comprehend what the man wanted to do by attacking Aylin when he was so obsessed with her. His actions completely contradicted his intentions and Azimir let out a frustrated sigh.
Not only was this man deadly, but he was also unpredictable and he did not know how to handle the situation. Although Aylin was his prey, Azimir could not stay still and watch her from the side. Aylin was his family now and he had to come up with a plan before the man harmed other innocent people around Aylin.
She had already lost her family. If any more people around her were to die, she would break down for sure. It had taken a lot of persuasion and effort to get her return to her old self. If the tragedy repeated, then Aylin would be destroyed for sure and that was not what he wanted. She was now in a vulnerable state and he had to do something to protect her from the demon who was out to get her.
It took Vasili a long time to process the matter and calm himself. Yet, his heart was thumping wildly in fear and apprehension. He could not calm himself down whatsoever. The matter had blown his mind away and his entire body was trembling. He, who was just a normal man who was in no way related to the tragedy Aylin had gone through was feeling this horrible and traumatized. He wondered how the Commander of Aranill was doing. Unknowingly, he was filled with respect for the woman and this time, it was for a different reason altogether.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to suppress his anxiety and patted his chest gently. It was only when he was in control of his emotions that he looked up and observed his Alpha who was thinking about the matter deeply.
"What are we going to do now, Alpha? How are we going to solve this matter?"
"That person is reckless and detrimental. Considering how he had provoked the people of Renada to harm Aylin, I presume that he will not hesitate to do it again if he loses his sanity."
Vasili waited silently for he knew that the next part was the most important. It was the plan Azimir must have thought of to protect Aylin from the monster.
"So, I am thinking of asking Nathalie was help. With her protecting Aylin, at least I will not have to worry about Aylin's safety."
Azimir looked at his Beta who stared back at him solemnly. He could not decipher what Vasili was thinking for his face was expressionless. But his reply did not matter to him. Even if Vasili was against this decision, he could do nothing. Azimir had already made up his mind to proceed with the plan he had in mind.
Seeing Vasili silent, Azimir pursed his lips and folded his hands. "What do you think, Vasili? Do you have any objections?"
"Alpha, although seeking Nathalie's help to protect the Commander of Aylin is not a bad idea, do you think she will be able to stay put against the demon? Will her powers work against him?" Vasili was skeptical to go ahead with the plan especially when they did not know what kind of a person they were dealing with. He was capable and powerful and so was Nathalie.
But they knew the extent of Nathalie's powers, unlike the man who they had no idea about. Sending Nathalie to protect Aylin against him had more risks than they had thought and his words made Azimir rethink his decision again.
However, it was only for a fleeting moment and Azimir's eyes flashed with resolve immediately. He was now determined to go ahead with the plan and no one could stop, not even Vasili. He understood his Beta's concerns and too shared the same feelings. But Aylin's safety and the love he had for her overshadowed all his other thoughts. Also, he trusted Nathalie and her powers and he trusted her to keep Aylin safe.
"I understand your concerns, Vasili. But I trust her and other than her, no one can protect her well. I cannot hand over this matter to anyone else. She is the only one who can help us now." Azimir sighed and stare at the fire crackling in the hearth. "And I have no other choice either. I am bound and desperate and the only way I can make sure that Aylin is safe is by placing someone I trust beside her."
Though still skeptical, Vasili slowly nodded his head, agreeing with the man. It was true that Nathalie was formidable and even he had been defeated by her before. Now werewolf or human could deflect her powers and if not for Nathalie's vow to never use her powers against Azimir, he had an inkling that even his Alpha would be nothing in front of her.
"How are we going to find Nathalie, Azimir? She has gone into hiding long ago and nobody has seen her ever since." Vasili stated his worries and Azimir crouched in front of the hearth as he started to play with fire, rolling the logs in the hearth using the poker stick. An unusual spark flashed in his eyes as he stared at the bright flames in front of him.
"Nobody has even heard about her, Alpha. How are we going to contact her? And who will help us contact her?" Vasili continued as he leaned the window sill.
"You have nothing to worry about, Vasili I have my ways to contact her. I know someone who might help us in this matter." Azimir thought about the man and his lips arched up suddenly while amusement danced in his eyes. All of a sudden, his body relaxed and he felt relieved for reasons even he could not comprehend.
"Who, Alpha? Do I know him?"
Azimir's lips stretched into a smile as he turned on his heels to meet the man who was staring at him in confusion.
"Oh, you do. You know him very well."
Vasili's confusion only increased with Azimir's affirmative answer and he tilted his head as he thought about all the people he could. But he could not point to anyone in particular who could possibly know Nathalie's whereabouts.
Azimir's let out a chuckle on seeing his Beta's amusing expressions. Previously, it had been Vasili who had teased him and now, it was his turn to get back at the man for what he had done. Azimir could decipher what the man's state was. He was impatient and wished to know the person right away and Azimir took this chance to drag the matter and play with him for some time. He was a very vengeful person and this was his revenge for teasing him before.
Meanwhile, Vasili had no idea what Azimir was thinking and he stood silently, trying to find out who other than Azimir had a connection with Nathalie. However, he could not think of anyone and he eventually gave him, focusing his gaze on the man, his eyes inquisitive and hopeful.
"Take a guess." Azimir just smirked at him and turned back to the fire, poking the stick in his hand while he tried to arrange his messed up thoughts. Even though he was being mischievous and carefree here, he was still worried about the woman who was in peril all alone. Every time he thought about her, his heart ached and he felt immense anguish, one that was as painful as the time he had felt the day he had lost his parents.
"I do not know, Alpha. You tell me." Vasili gave up and sat on the bed.
"That man was here just now. How did you forget him this soon?" Azimir's eyes twinkled as he pushed back his sorrowful memories to the back of his head and turned around to face Vasili. Placing the stick beside the hearth, he patted his plans before he stood up and approached the man who was looking at him with a dumbfounded expression.
Vasili blinked a few times in shock as he tried to digest the information he had just received.
"Zavid?" He mumbled and when he saw his Alpha's affirmative smile, his eyes widened in disbelief. "How?" That was all he could manage in his shock. 'When did Zavid and Nathalie get familiar with each other? What is happening here? Please someone tell me what I missed.' He thought in wonder.
"That...." Azimir dragged and folded his hands. "You will have to ask Zavid himself. I am in no place to speak about somebody else's private matters. If you are fortunate enough, you might find out the truth behind their relationship."
"Woah," Vasili exclaimed in surprise, his mind still in disbelief as he tried to accept the truth. But his expression changed when another thought entered his mind. "But will Nathalie help us?"
"She will." Azimir deadpanned. "She has to.. She owes me a favor from before and now, it is time for her to pay it back."
