Azimir rode back on his horse as quickly as he could, relieved to be out of the palace and away from Josephine and her evil father. Visiting the royal family had been a bad idea for he was left all annoyed and impatient. But he could not ignore his duties and disrespect them either. Now that he had dealt with them, he could focus on Aylin and the problem that was troubling her.
Though Aylin had not been vocal about it, he had sensed her longing for him the moment she had apologized to him after he left her room. She was aggrieved and sorrowful and was desperate for his warm embrace.
But something was stopping her. She was forcing herself to stay away from him and he had to know the reason behind it. He had to find out what was troubling her and why she was giving a cold shoulder to all the people who loved her, including him.
'I know where exactly to find you." Azimir had overheard Aylin's conversation with Lady Elena and knowing her personality, Azimir was sure that no one would be able to convince her to stay in Lady Elena's manor. She was impossibly stubborn.
In that case, the only place she would go to was her manor and Azimir rode in the direction where her house of located. On his way, again, he was met with prying looks from the people of Aranill. However, this time their gazes held admiration and awe for the man who was riding like a majestic devil on the streets. They stared in wonder at the charming man, the young girls blushing furiously as he passed by them while the men held respect in their eyes.
Azimir was not a stranger to them. Despite not seeing him before, they had heard about him and his abilities and to find him here, at Aranill, people were only thrilled beyond belief.
Azimir did not care about anyone. They were free to do what they wanted and he was not the one to stop them from admiring him. All he had in mind was Aylin and he wished to reach her as quickly as possible.
Compared to the streets he had passed by before, the lane where Aylin's manor was situated was less crowded and Azimir maneuvered his horse with ease before he entered the manor premises. Just as he had expected, there was no one in sight. The entire manor was eerily quiet and empty.
Yet, Azimir did not complain. This only made it easier for him to meet Aylin and speak to her in private. He entered the manor carefully, making sure to keep an eye around himself. He was surprised to find the front door open and Azimir wondered why Aylin was. This was the same place where the lady had lost her family and he did not wish to trigger her miserable memories by being reckless.
Azimir stopped suddenly when he saw Aylin on the couch, her face now streamed with tears. She was shaking her head as she kept mumbling in her sleep and even without listening to her closely, Azimir could hear her begging her family members to stay with her.
He rushed to her at once and kneeled beside her, panicked to see her in this state. "Aylin, I am here. I am here. Do not worry. Everything is fine. I am here." He tried to comfort her gently before his gaze fell on the portrait in her arms. Not giving a second look at it, he retrieved it out of her arms and placed it aside before he pushed himself closer to her.
"I am here, Aylin. I am here. Stop crying, dear. I will always be with you." He assured her as he wiped her tears off her face but Aylin refused to wake up from her sleep. She frantically moved her arms in the air as she tried to hold onto her family members. She only stopped when she caught an arm and she hugged it to her chest.
"Please do not leave me. Please." She cried and Azimir's heart broke seeing her in this condition.
"I will not leave you, Aylin. I promise. Wake up, darling. I am here. It is all a nightmare. Wake up, please." Azimir begged for her to wake up when suddenly Aylin stopped crying.
Thinking Aylin to have woken up from her dream, Azimir smiled in relief. The next instant, however, he heard her mumble again and this time she started to apologize. At first, he could not make out who she was apologizing to. She was choking on her tears as she kept apologizing.
"Please forgive me, Azimir. Please. I hurt you. I hurt you so much. I am a bad person." She muttered. Though she did not cry this time, her tears drenched face still hurt Azimir's heart. But what hurt him more was the way she was apologizing to him. She seemed desperate to get his apology.
"I am helpless." She continued. "I am helpless. I cannot put your life in danger too. Please forgive me."
Azimir was taken aback by her revelation and he stayed frozen in his spot for a few moments. 'Is Aylin pushing me away because she wants to protect me? Protect me from who? Who wants to harm me and why will my life be in danger? How does Aylin know about this?'
A myriad of questions entered his mind and Azimir was finding it difficult to comprehend what he had just heard. A groan from Aylin brought him out of his confusing thoughts and he focused his attention on her, giving her his priority and pushing away all his thoughts at the back of his mind for the time being.
"Aylin, wake up, please. Please," He begged again and with great difficulty, he managed to bring her back to her consciousness.
Aylin stared at him in a daze, surprised to see him in front of her the moment she opened her eyes. She completely forgot about her dream as she stayed transfixed on Azimir's charming face. All of a sudden, her wounded heart felt soothed and comforted.
"Azimir," She lifted her hand in a daze and smiled lightly at him.
"Yes, Aylin. I am here." Azimir assured her and the moment she heard his voice, she got out of the couch in fright, forcing Azimir to get up and take a few steps away from her.
"Why are you here, Alpha Azimir? Did I not ask you to return to Ideni?" Her red eyes turned cold and expressionless and Azimir frowned on seeing her switch in behavior this quickly.
"Aylin."
"Listen to me, Alpha. It is better that you return home, to Ideni where your subjects are waiting for you."
Azimir's gaze turned stern after getting rejected by her the moment she got back her consciousness. He was determined to not allow her to push him away and he took a step back intimidatingly.
"Why do you want me to leave, Aylin? Is it because you are worried that danger might befall me, that someone might kill me?"
As soon as Aylin heard him, her jaw dropped in shock.
"How..how....did you learn about it?" She stuttered.
"You told me yourself, Aylin, just now, when you were talking in your sleep."
