Nobody spoke a word as Gregory followed Erik and the young Alpha after locking the cell gate. A lot of questions were appearing in their minds and they were desperate to find the answers to them, especially after listening to Dariel describe the man's eye color.
Gregory handed the keys to the guard at the entrance of the dungeon before he mounted on his horse. His mind was a mess and he stared at the young Alpha in the front, baffled by the turn of events.
'How did Alpha Azimir know about the eye color? How was able to point this out exactly?' Gregory pondered, his eyes not leaving the man's back. Even when the young Alpha turned to him, he did not react and kept gaping at him. A flood of questions was now flowing in his mind and he needed to find out how Alpha Azimir had found out such an important clue when they could not.
Erik was in the same situation as Gregory and he too could not keep his eyes off Azimir. A small seed of suspicion started to grow in his mind and he narrowed his eyes. But he brushed off his notion the next instant when he realized how ludicrous it sounded.
'If Alpha Azimir were to be involved in this incident, he would not have gone to speak to Dariel in the dungeon and brought us with him.' Erik reasoned with himself. 'I presume he would not even have come to Aranill if this was the case.'
Erik stopped doubting him and the three men returned to his house to discuss this matter.
Gregory and Erik were turning impatient as moments passed and the instant they reached Erik's house, they jumped off their horses and hurriedly follow Alpha Azimir.
"Please ask." Azimir had sensed their impatience in their gaze and he folded his hands when they entered the house, waiting for them to bombard him with questions.
On meeting his sterling grey eyes, the two were rendered tongue tied for a few moments and they could not speak a word. They just gazed at him, bewildered by him.
Azimir did not mind their silence and he waited for them to come of their shock. It was natural that they felt this way for he had stunned them completely by indirectly disclosing the partial truth about the assailant.
Azimir took the couch while the two men remained standing in front of him. It was only when Azimir could not tolerate their probing eyes that he coughed loudly, bringing them out of their stupor.
"I assumed that you would have something to ask me, Sir Erik, Sir Gregory." He looked back and forth between the two men. "I think I am wrong. If there is nothing else...."
"Alpha Azimir, how did you find out about the assailant?" Erik stopped him from leaving and started with the question that was haunting their minds since the time they had left the dungeon.
Azimir smiled at him and folded his hands, his eyes blazing in flames. "Do you remember, Sir Erik, I asked about a masked man in the morning? Sir Gregory?"
The two men nodded at him and their eyes widened in realization and disbelief.
"Did you see the masked man, Alpha, or perhaps even meet him?" Erik questioned carefully and when he did not get any reply from him, his mind blanked out completely.
"How?" That was all he could manage before he stopped speaking. Unlike him, Gregory was completely speechless and he stared at Azimir as though he was staring at a demon. His face had turned pale and cold sweat trickled down his cheek.
"I saw him in the jungle when I had gone on a run in the jungle in my wolf form. Since then, I have been unable to get him out of my mind. From Dariel, it is now evident he was the one who planned the attack on you when you were in Ideni and also killed Aylin's family in her absence."
This was too much information for them to grasp and the two men plopped on the couch. They were still taken aback by the turn of events, especially when it involved the man who had created a blood bath in their Commander's manor.
Azimir waited for the two men to accept all that they had heard from him. Albeit being scared just like the two men, he did not reveal the expressions on his face and stayed calm, unlike them who seemed too lost and frightful.
"What do we do now, Alpha?" Gregory was the first one to break the silence. "Since the man is already here would he try to harm Aylin. Now that she is all alone in her manor, she is an easy victim."
Unlike Gregory and Erik who were fearful and scared for their Commander as they worried for her safety, Azimir was having different thoughts altogether. He was strangely inclined to believe that the man had no intention to harm Aylin. He had witnessed the way he had vanished in a blink and given his powers, he could have easily killed Aylin when she was at Lady Elena's manor. He did not have to wait all this while. He could have killed her and no one would have known about it.
But instead, he had chosen to reveal himself in front of him and Azimir's sterling grey narrowed when a notion entered his mind.
'That man does not intend to harm Aylin but he had provoked me. What did he try to prove by doing this?' He folded his hands and placed his fingers under his chin, losing himself to his thoughts.
Azimir bit his lip and wondered about it for a long time. 'Why does he want to target me when I have not done any harm to me. Unless....'
Azimir understood everything at once and a chill went down his spine the next instant. 'He wants to annihilate me because Aylin likes me. But why did he kill her family members then? How did they harm him?'
The puzzle was slowly falling in place and all Azimir needed was some time to find out everything. But time was not what he had. He had to return home and prepare for the contest. He could not neglect his responsibilities for his love but he could not leave Aylin to deal with the man alone either.
Azimir glimpsed at the two warriors in front of him before making a decision. Even though Aylin was safe for now, he still had to confirm his suspicions and the only way to do so was to keep an eye on Aylin.
"Sir Erik, please arrange for men to protect Aylin as quickly as possible. It would be better if her protectors are werewolves."
Azimir hinted and Erik agreed with him immediately. The image of the dead human guards piled upon one another was etched in their minds. Compared to humans, werewolves were better fighters and they could tackle the monster if he were to ever visit Aylin. With their heightened skills, they would be able to stop the man in time before he harmed their Commander.
This was the best possible solution they could come up with for the time being to save their Commander.
