"Are you sure, Alpha Azimir?" Gregory queried again as he and Erik led the young man towards the cell where Dariel had been locked. His request surprised them and for a moment, they wondered what he wanted of Dariel and why he seemed so desperate to meet the man when they had already found everything from him.

But they did not dare question him as they had an inkling that the man would not reveal anything to them. All of a sudden, he was emitting a strange aura that scared them. Azimir was an intimidating man and they had sensed his domineering stance every time they were in his presence.

But this time, there was something peculiar about him, one that instilled dread in them. It was as though the man was about to unleash his beastly side and Gregory and Erik wisely chose to stay silent and not provoke the man than he already was.

"Yes, I am. I have some questions I need answers to." Azimir explained despite it not being necessary. He did not put more stress on them than they already were and spared them from getting worried about him and his request.

"Will you have to take permission from the Alpha King?" Azimir asked with a frown and Gregory shook his head immediately.

"That would not be necessary, Alpha. But we have already intimated him about your request and King Myron has agreed to let you enter the dungeon. But he has a condition." Erik held the torch in front of him as he walked towards the special cell where Dariel had been kept captive.

He took the young man's silence as his cue to continue and he started speaking again. "We are to stay with you when you enter the cell."

"I am fine with it." Azimir's reply was instant. He did not mind having the two men accompany him for he did not have any intention of being secretive with them.

'As expected of the old fool. He is wary of me.' He scoffed in his mind but did not show any emotion on his face.

Other than the three people, there was no one inside the dungeon without being bound to the chains. But not once did Azimir avert his gaze from his path even when he heard the rattling of chains and cries of pain from some of the cells. He was not interested in them. He was here to speak to Dariel and none of them could distract him from getting what he wanted.

Instead of walking straight ahead, Gregory took a turn at a division and Azimir widened his eyes for an instant as he studied the place. Unlike the dungeon in Ideni, where all the cells lied adjacent to each other, the cells here were far away and some of them did not even have an ounce of light entering them. 

A strong pungent smell of blood and feces filled his nose. But he remained unfazed by it, accustomed to the disgusting stench. Compared to the two humans with him, his senses were stronger and heightened. Yet, Azimir did not scowl or show any form of discomfort, his mind focusing on all that he had found out instead of the unpleasant odor.

Gregory marched towards an arch that looked like the opening to a cave and Azimir tilted his head as he kept his eyes and ears alert. As soon as they entered the cave, the temperature dropped and the two humans shivered due to the cold. 

Erik pulled the torch closer to him so as to get more of its heat and Gregory moved closer to him seeking the warmth greedily. They did not care what the Alpha of Ideni thought about their actions nor did they care how hilarious their expressions were. They were shivering and they had to save themselves from the cold lest they should freeze to death.

Azimir observed that the cave walls were adorned with torture equipment and he nodded to himself in appreciation. The warriors of Aranill were truly as commendable as the world praises them to be. He praised.

The men then left from the other end of the cave. Here, it was not that cold but it was completely dark. If not for the torch in Erik's hand, they could not have even seen where they were walking.

"Alpha," Gregory stood in front of a cell and while Erik held the torch to help their vision. 

Dariel was curled up in the corner as he tried to protect himself from the cold. Compare to the last time they had seen him, he had turned skinny and frail. But none of the men pitied him. He brought it upon himself. He had chosen this path and he was now facing his retribution.

Azimir nodded at Gregory and the man opened the gate, the metallic gate creaking loudly as it rubbed against the stony dungeon floor. 

Dariel jolted at the sound and he scrambled away instinctively in terror. He looked haggard and he had lost all the aura of being beta. All they could see was a gaunt man who was here to serve his punishment for his crimes.

It took some time for Dariel to get accustomed to the light. It had been two days since she saw daylight and for a moment, he wondered if he was dreaming. His life had been plunged into darkness the moment the Beta of Ideni had caught him. He squinted slightly to ease the pain before he focused his gaze on the men who were visiting him.

"Alpha Azimir," His voice was hoarse and shallow.

"I have a few questions to ask you. I hope you will answer me honestly." Azimir gave him a menacing look and Dariel nodded at him immediately. He did not have any other option either. His life was in their hands and he was at their mercy. Either he could choose to die early or be smart and delay his death by a few days. 

Even after ending up in such a dire situation, Dariel did not lose his hope and wished to leave the dungeon one day. So, he chose to answer him honestly and save his life.

"Please describe the man who approached you with the plan to kill Commander Aylin."

Gregory and Erik looked along, wondering where this was going. They could not apprehend what was running in the young Alpha's mind and why he was asking Dariel this question when they already knew the answer. Yet, they did not stop him and waited to see what was happening.

"Alpha Azimir, I could not see his face clearly. He had covered himself with a mask."

Azimir had already expected this reply from him. What he wanted was something different, something notable that was unique to the man.

"What about his eyes color? What do you know about it?"

Dariel blinked at him for a moment before his eyes widened and he stared at the young Alpha as though he was looking at a demon.

"How did you...."

"Answer me." Azimir raised his voice and Dariel flinched at his harsh tone.

Gregory and Erik were now intrigued and they took a step closer. Dariel's reaction was definitely not normal and from Alpha Azimir's reaction, they could not help but have the same thought as Dariel. 

"The man's eye...eyes were pitch black. It was completely soulless and devoid of an..any emotion."

As soon as Dariel answered, the expressions on the three men's faces changed. While Gregory and Erik were stunned beyond belief, Azimir stood still expressionless, his sterling grey eyes cold yet fierce.

'As I had thought. It is the same man. He was the one who planned the attack on Aylin in Ideni and killed her family members at Aranill.'

Azimir clenched his jaw and without another word walked out of the cell, leaving Gregory and Erik perplexed and Dariel in trepidation.
