Time flew by eventually and dusk settled on Aranill, forcing the warmth of the sun to diminish. Though it was early spring, the night was still cold and chilly winds started to pick up pace as moments passed.
Gregory and Erik stood outside the graveyard as they waited for Aylin. Every time the freezing winds blew over them, the men shivered, their teeth clattering in cold. But neither was willing to leave the place nor leave Aylin all alone in the eerily quiet graveyard.
Not once had she moved away from her position and the men were now beyond worried for her. She had neither eaten anything nor did she have even a droplet of water. She was already sick and considering the time she had spent in the cold and scary place without any food or water, she was bound to fall ill again.
"Should we take a look at her?" Gregory queried as he peeped through the gates. From where he was, he could see the faint silhouette of Aylin's back. She was slouching as she kneeled on the ground in front of her family members' graves.
"Let us give her more time. She needs to let out everything she has in her mind." Erik stated, a glint of concern passing through his eyes.
"I am worried about her."
"I am too." Erik ran a hand through his brown hair in frustration.
The two men had been keeping an eye on her since afternoon after every deceased had been buried, not once budging from their place. Just like her, they too had not eaten anything since the previous night. They were beyond exhausted and stressed. But for Aylin, they were willing to sacrifice their sleep and hunger, hoping to bring her out of her misery somehow.
"The child has had it tough. She lost her parents when she was young and had to shoulder all the responsibilities alone. If not for her, her siblings would not have made it till now." Gregory sighed and looked at the night sky.
"I agree. At least, she had her aunt for support then. The woman gave her the warmth and love she needed. But now, she is all alone." Erik glanced behind him and kicked the pebble near his feet in annoyance.
"She has us, Erik. We will be there with her."
"We will but family is family and seeing their deaths would have traumatized her for sure, Gregory. I just hope she has the strength in her to come out of it."
Gregory had no words to say this time for it was the truth. Though they considered Aylin close to them, they were not her family. She was the daughter of their friend who was with them in the army and had died a tragic death while trying to protect Aranill from enemies.
Everyone she had loved in her life had left her and each one of them had died in the most vicious ways. She had barely managed to keep herself sane when her parents had passed away. But now, with all her loved ones gone, Gregory and Erik could not help but fear for her.
Aylin had already turned reticent and cold after her parents' death. How bad would her other family members' demise affect her?
Another cold wind blew by them and the men could not bear it anymore. They had just taken a few steps inside the graveyard when they heard the sound of hooves from behind and they turned around immediately, stunned to find someone coming their way at this time of the day.
Gregory looked at Erik questioningly, only for the man to shake his head in reply. Unable to see who it was, they waited in their places and were astounded when they finally noticed the man's face.
Azimir was riding his horse, not at all caring about the cold winds that brushed past him as they slapped his face mercilessly. All he wanted was to reach Aylin as quickly as possible. He did not even ask around for everyone in Aranill was speaking about the disaster her family had faced. And without even asking around, he found her whereabouts.
Without wasting time anymore, he had rushed towards the graveyard after finding the direction from one of the inn owners. His face resembled nothing less the devil in the cold night as he approached the men who stood still in their places.
Azimir's brows relaxed when he saw the two men he had seen with Aylin in Ideni. Though he was not as familiar with them as he was with Aylin, he still recognized them instantly and he let out a breath of relief. At least, Aylin had someone to take care of her in her most vulnerable time.
Erik snapped out of his shock when the man alighted from his horse and ran to them in worry. "Alpha Azimir."
"Sir, where is Aylin?"
In his hurry, Azimir did not even care about the way he had addressed Aylin. All he wanted was to see her and hold her in his arms and give her the warmth she needed.
"Alpha Azimir, what are you doing here?" Gregory was still stupefied and in his momentary state of confusion, he forgot to greet him, sounding extremely disrespectful.
If it was any other time, Azimir and his wolf would have minded it. It was rude of the man to treat him this way. But this time, all Azimir was concerned about was Aylin and he ignored everything else. Even his wolf remained silent as he kept prancing in apprehension.
"I am here to see Aylin. Please tell me where she is. I would like to meet her." Azimir did not control himself and his words came out more like an order.
Instinctively, the two men turned back and Azimir followed their line of sight to find a silhouette kneeling on the ground. Without speaking another word, he walked past them and headed toward Aylin in a hurry.
His heart hurt to see her in this state. The Commander of Aranill who had always been confident and courageous was now kneeling on the ground as she sobbed lightly, not even caring about the cold or the dark.
He stopped walking when he heard her mumbling as though she was communicating with her family members and his eyes softened even more.
"Aylin," Even before he knew it, he had called her, his voice gentle and tense but filled with love and concern.
In the freezing night, his voice sounded extremely caring and Aylin could not help but turn around. The moment she saw who it was, her face froze in shock. But the next moment, her tears started to gush out. To her, his presence was just akin to a warm blanket. All of a sudden, she felt relieved as though she had found her salvation finally.
"Azimir," Aylin stood up. But the moment she did so, her legs gave away and intense pain shot through them.
Seeing Aylin stumble, Azimir rushed to her in panic and kneeled beside her before he hugged her, not caring about her disheveled appearance.
"I am here, Aylin. I am here. Everything will be fine. I am here." He rubbed her back as he whispered and comforted her. "I am here. I will always be with you." He kept murmuring for quite some time.
But when he did not get any response from Aylin, Azimir pulled away only to find her to have fainted in her arms.
