"Alpha," Zavid rushed towards the courtroom, his face filled with panic while sweat dripped down his forehead. He panted heavily as he tried to calm his breath, not noticing the fury in his Alpha's eyes for his impudence. 

After a long time, Zavid lifted his head and was stunned to see an incensed Alpha and he looked around before the realization hit. 'What did I do? How could I forget the time and behave recklessly?' He thought silently as he made a pitiful face.

'Will Alpha now punish me? But...but..' He gulped softly as he observed the changes in his Alpha. Though the man on the throne remained expressionless, the change in his eye color was evident; he was just short of losing his composure.

"Please forgive me for my insolent behavior, Alpha." Zavid kneeled immediately and lowered his head in shame. "If not for the urgency of the matter, I would not have barged inside the courtroom this way." 

He glanced at the human court officials in the room who were shaking their heads at his actions before he lowered his eyes again. 

Silence filled the room and Zavid's heart was about to burst out of his chest in fear. He waited for his Alpha to speak up and release the tension. But his silent pleas remained unanswered as his Alpha showed no signs of offering him mercy.

Zavid closed his eyes as he thought of ways to save his life and the first person that came to his mind was the lady Commander who his Alpha seemed to respect. 'Was the information I have not related to Commander Aylin? Alpha will definitely let me go if I were to speak to him before it is too late.'

With that thought in mind, Zavid raised his head and met the man in the eye, his heart skipping a beat as he noticed his Alpha's wolf threatening to come out.

"Alpha, please forgive me for my disrespect. The matter is important and it is related to Commander Aylin."

As soon he finished speaking, Zavid observed the changes in his King and just as he had expected, the man's expression altered drastically. His fury diminished significantly and there were traces of gentleness on his face.

The entire courtroom was stunned into silence on seeing the changes in him. The men were baffled beyond belief as they gaped at their King, their Alpha who was hard to please and appease once irked.

'As expected, Commander Aylin.' He thanked the woman who had saved him even though she was far away from them. But when he recalled the solemnity of the issue, his face turned serious and he waited for his Alpha to permit him to talk.

"Speak," Azimir commanded, wondering what information did Zavid have about Aylin.

It had been just a day and he was already missing her dearly. He wanted to see her badly and hold her in his embrace. Just the effect she had on him was enough to surprise him for it surpassed what he had assumed it to be.

"Alpha, Commander Aylin's family has met with a mishap and..." Zaid stopped when his Alpha stood up suddenly, startling everyone in the courtroom. 

"What happened to them? Are they safe?"

Zavid shook his head as he eyed the man who was slowly losing control. "No, Alpha. Commander Aylin's family members were found dead in their manor last night. Even the guards who were protecting them were killed viciously. Nobody survived."

The air in the courtroom changed suddenly and everyone sensed the rage radiating off their Alpha. They took a step back instinctively while Zavid did not dare move as he kept kneeling on the ground.

"What about Aylin? How is she? Is she fine?" Azimir did not care much about her family members for he was more concerned about her.

"Alpha, it was Commander Aylin who found them first and she is broken and in grief." 

While Zavid ignored the way his Alpha had addressed the Commander, the other men did not miss it and their surprise turned into shock. Bizzare thoughts entered their mind and they kept gawking at their Alpha, waiting for pieces of gossip to fill their hungry minds.

"Everyone leave," Azimir ordered as he kept his eyes fixed on Zavid who remained kneeling in his place. He did not dare move for he understood that the order was not given for him.

The men wanted to find out more. But orders had been issued and if they were to disobey, the outcome was nothing but punishment. Not waiting another moment, they departed from the hall reluctantly.

Azimir waited until everyone left him and Zavid alone before he almost glowered at Zavid who trembled visibly.

It was only when he saw the man shivering in his presence that he came out of his stupor and controlled himself. "You may rise now and tell me everything you know."

Zavid did as he was told and relayed all that he had found out, not leaving anything in the meanwhile. Though his Alpha's face turned dark as time passed, Zavid did not dare stop speaking.

"Alpha, it is truly sorrowful that Commander Aylin had to meet such disaster the day she returned home. I just hope she has the strength in her to bear with the loss." Zavid added after some time.

Something snapped in Azimir's mind and his heart ached in misery for the woman. He could not even imagine how much pain she was in.

"Alpha King Myron has ordered for the last rites to take place in a few hours and all the dead people will be buried in the upper graveyard." Zavid continued, not noticing the sadness in his Alpha's eyes. 

"I just hope for the culprit to be caught as quickly as possible."

"Zavid, how is Vasili?" Azimir interrupted him, the sudden change in conversation confusing the young Gamma. Nevertheless, he still replied to him immediately.

"Alpha, Beta Vasili is fine and he seemed to be in better condition. The physician will be arriving in a few hours to check on him."

"That is good to hear." Azimir nodded as he thought about his decision. "Zavid, listen to me. Please take care of Vasili and Ideni in my absence. You can seek Beta Luther's guidance. With him around, you will have no problems to face."

"What about you, Alpha?" Zavid was taken aback by the sudden responsibility forced onto him and nervousness settled in him slowly.

"I will depart for Aranill right away. Aylin must be waiting for me.. She needs me more than anyone else."
