Dusk fell on the land of Aranill and Aylin curled up on the couch as she watched the stars appearing in the sky. They were twinkling brightly, spreading joy and love everywhere. But in Aylin's life, there was neither joy nor love. 

The joy in her life had died with her family and her love.... Aylin sniffled when she remembered the crestfallen expression on Azimir's face when she had forced him out of her manor. Her life had lost all its meaning and she felt lonely and aggrieved. But she could not seek anyone's company either. If the masked man was watching her every move, then she would only be putting their lives in danger.

Oddly, she had a feeling that the man had no intention of hurting her. His words only held a warning for her to stay away from everyone. He never threatened her with her life. So, Aylin had taken this bold step to capture the man herself, without involving anyone else in her plan.

Aylin could hear sounds outside. The cool breeze eased the discomfort due to the heated land and the wind carried with it the smell of flowers. Birds were singing merrily as they flew with their group. All around her, there was happiness as they indicated the arrival of spring.

However, in Aylin's life, there was no spring. All she saw was darkness and felt coldness just like the weather in the harsh winter. Everyone she loved had left her and she was left to fend for herself.

Finally, it was time for dinner. But Aylin was in no mood to cook and after satisfying her hunger with a glass of water, Aylin laid down on her bed.

A lot of thoughts filled her mind and she could not brush them off even if she wanted. Every one of them was more agonizing than the other and a thin stream of tears started to flow out of her eyes. Her heart felt cold and dead and Aylin cursed her fate for pushing her to such a corner.

Aylin kept gazing out of the window for a long time. Even when darkness fell and the moon occupied the sky, she did not fall asleep, forcing herself against her will to sleep to stay awake. It was only when she could not hold back her sleep anymore, that she closed her eyelids and fell into a deep slumber, one that was filled with nightmares.

The instant she closed her eyes, the masked man appeared in her room and gazed at the girl who was oblivious to his presence. He smiled at her, his eyes filled with wicked gentleness. He wiped the thin trail of tears on her cheeks.

"Why did you cry, my dear girl?" He sighed lightly. "I cannot see you in tears, Aylin." He sat on the bed beside her and caressed her cheeks while brushing her hair away from her face. 

"I see that you have been a good girl and have stayed away from everyone. Good girl." He smiled dotingly at her, one that stayed hidden behind his mask. "But I am still vexed to find the smell of the wolf on you. Tell me, Aylin, what I should do now? I wanted to kill him today when I saw him in the jungle. But I could not."

He murmured and an evil glint passed through his eyes. "Would the best option not be to kill him? No one will come in between us after he is gone. Do you not think so?" He mused as she stared at the sleeping girl, happy to have her this close to him.

"You are so obedient when you are asleep, my dear girl. Why do you irk me when you are awake?" He continued and looked out of the window. 

"But not to worry, I will make sure that you will never irk me. Otherwise..." He cupped her cheek and licked his lips. "The people around you will have to bear the consequences of your actions. Do not test me on this, Aylin." His voice hardened but they softened the next instant.

"And I would not mind killing them to make you listen to me. I cannot bear to harm you. However, it could not be said the same about the people around you."

Aylin started to pant as sweat coated her forehead. She started to wriggle away from him and the masked man smiled on seeing her reaction. "I see that you have gotten my warning, Aylin. I hope you will not annoy me anymore."

He got out of the bed and stood beside her. "Be a good girl and I will treat you nicely forever. I will have to go now, my dear girl. Have a good sleep. I will see you next on the day of no moon."

He promised and disappeared from the room after taking a good look at her and the instant the man vanished, Aylin woke up with a start. She was panting loudly while her entire dress was drenched in her sweat. She looked around her and when she realized that she was in her room, she relaxed slightly only to stiffen when she recalled the dream she had just seen.

Every word of his was dreadful and menacing and Aylin shuddered in fear. She was still in shock to think that the dream felt so surreal. It was as though the man was actually here and had touched her. Just the thought alone was enough to scare her all the more and she rushed towards the bathroom to clean herself.

Subconsciously to herself, she had started to despise herself and now, she could not help but loathe the body the man had touched even though it was all in her dream.

Unbeknownst to them, Azimir had his ears trained on Aylin's room. He was listening to the masked man's words from his room in Sir Erik's house and his suspicions were proven true when he heard the man promising not to hurt Aylin whatsoever. This realization made him relax and let out a sigh of relief. 

At least the man did not intend to harm Aylin. He could now carefully plan to trap the man. Azimir had long understood that it was not easy to capture him, not when he had the power to teleport whenever he wanted. 'I need to find a way to capture him and I need to do it fast.'

Azimir laid down on his bed as he stared at the ceiling. "He will not visit Aylin for the time being and she is safe. I just hope he does not target anybody around her in his fit of anger."

The man's actions made him understand that he was too possessive of Aylin and he was unwilling to see anyone but him around her. 

'Is this the reason why he killed all her family members?' He wondered. 'It has to be. What other explanation could there be for his unreasonable behavior? Now, how do I tackle this issue? How can I capture him? He does not seem to be human or a werewolf. Who can give me the answers I so desperately seek?' 

Azimir pondered for a long time but he could not think of anyone who could help him until a face flashed before him, the face he had forgotten for a long time.

'I can only turn to you for help now.. I hope you have what I want.'
