Aylin smiled to herself as she recalled the kiss she had shared with Azimir in the morning. Her cheeks resembled the evening sky, crimson red and blushing as she rode towards Aranill while her warriors followed her closely.

It had taken a lot of her will to leave Ideni, not when Azimir was reluctant to let her go. It was only when one of the warriors had interrupted her that she gave up and climbed her horse before she smiled at Azimir, bidding him a farewell for the time being. She then nodded at Louis and Travis who were staying back for the time being under her orders.

Since their carriage had been destroyed during her ambush, Aylin and the others could only settle for the horses they had bought at Ideni. Dariel had been tied securely to one of the horses, making it impossible for him to escape from them.

"Commander, do you want to take a rest?" One of the warriors interrupted her thoughts and Aylin looked ahead to see how far away they were from Aranill.

"Does anyone wants to take a rest? We can stop for some time if anybody wants to." She stated her opinion discreetly and the men shook their heads at once.

"If everyone can hold on, we are just a few miles away from the border of Aranill. If we keep up with our current pace, we might reach our homes by tonight."

Profound energy gushed through everyone as they thought about their homes and the ones who wanted rest for a while, gave up their thoughts immediately. They rode their horses with full vigor as they looked forward to reaching home before midnight.

The moment they noticed the entrance gates of Aranill, Aylin smiled in delight and she increased her speed, whipping her horse lightly while the other followed suit.

The gates were wide open and Aylin smile at the watch guards, startling them by her sudden appearance. They were too in a trance on seeing her this suddenly that they even forgot to give her their respects. It was only when she and the other warriors had passed them that they came out of their reverie and bowed their heads immediately, despite them knowing that their Commander would not be able to see it.

Aylin rode on the kingdom roads, making sure to not hurt anyone on her way. Though night had fallen on Aranill, it was still bustling with life and people were walking on the roads as they chatted merrily with each other.

As soon as they heard the horses' gallops and neighs, they made way as they stopped in their places. The moment they saw Aylin, all the young men's eyes gleamed in admiration and they stared at her infatuation. Her brilliant, dazzling face was alluring enough to attract everyone and the men smiled in awe on seeing her riding her horse valiantly.

Aylin did not even glance at anyone on her way. To her, all their affection was superficial. It was all a physical attraction they had for her and was never genuine. So, there was no reason for her to care about them.

She did not stop until she reached the palace and instead of taking the route that led her to the palace entrance, she took a detour towards the dungeon. Nobody questioned her and the warriors behind her followed her silently. They were exhausted by the long journey. But they were also gladdened for they were now home.

"Sir Erik and Sir Gregory, please take Dariel to the special dungeon," Aylin ordered the two men who were in charge of Dariel during the journey and the men got to work at once.

Aylin alighted from her horse and approached the guards near the dungeon who were bewildered to see her here without notice, especially with a prisoner accompanying her. Nevertheless, they still bowed at her in respect.

"Please take special care of Dariel. I will come to meet him sometime tomorrow."

"Yes, Commander." The men replied in unison. They did not have to guess who Dariel was. But they could not help but wonder why he was here and what sin he had committed.

Aylin then waited until two warriors returned before she faced the other warriors again.

"You may all retire for the night. Take good rest and you may return to your work the day after tomorrow. I will report to the Alpha King myself tomorrow."

The men cheered on hearing her. After a long, tiring journey, all they needed was a fulfilling dinner and the comfort of their beds. Now that they had a day off, the men were ecstatic. They bowed at her and one by one, they took their leave.

Aylin waited for all the men to leave until she too departed towards her home with a big smile. "I am sure Zeev and Sienna will be delighted to see me home."

Her smile widened when she recalled her siblings who were eagerly waiting for her return along with her aunt. With a look of anticipation and happiness, Aylin rode towards her, nodding at the people who greeted her along the way.

Although she missed Azimir, she missed her family more and she was more than excited to meet them after a few days.

Aylin rode towards her manor as she savored the feel of home. The delicious smell of food wafted through the air as she passed by the inn. But she did not stop whatsoever. She was famished. But she preferred her aunt's food over any other delicacy.

"Aunt, I hope you will not scold me for not informing you about my return." She mumbled and thought about the woman who had taken good care of her, treating her and her siblings as her own since the time Aylin had lost her parents.

Aylin tied her horse in the stable before she made her way towards the door. She knocked at the door lightly. But there was no response from within whatsoever. This time, she tapped loudly only to meet the same result.

'Why is no one opening the door? Are they not at home?'

Aylin looked around with a frown and held the handle, forcing her strength on it. And to her surprise, the door opened instantly due to the sheer exert of force.

Aylin's frown deepened when she saw darkness inside. It was only the light from the lanterns on the street that illuminated her path and Aylin took slow, careful steps.

"Zeev, Siena." She called out. But there was no response. An ominous feeling settled in her heart and she pulled out her sword immediately.

"Zeev, Siena." She shouted again but stopped speaking when the smell she was all too familiar with entered her senses, making her freeze in her spot.. It was the smell of fresh blood and the entire air in the manor was filled with it.
