Chapter 19

Aurora pov

But actually it was the thought of the beta. Ever since that drama that happened that day in the room I haven't seen him.

I quickly pulled out my notepad and wrote, "What about your beta?"

I stared at the alpha's face, eager to get an answer. He smiled, but it seemed forced.

"Oh, I sent him on a mission, but you don't need to bother yourself. He would be back soon," the alpha said.

I raised an eyebrow, confused and at the same time scared. "What type of mission?" I wrote, looking confused.

The alpha chuckled. "Come on, it's nothing much. He just went to secure our Eastern border," he said, but his tone seemed unconvincing.

I narrowed my eyes, sensing that the alpha was hiding something. Securing the Eastern border sounded like a vague excuse, and I couldn't wrap the feeling that there was more to the story.

I wrote another question on my notepad, "How long will he be gone?"

The alpha's smile faltered for a moment before he regained his composure. "Oh, not long. Just a few weeks, maybe a month at most. He'll be back before you know it," he said, but his words lacked conviction.

I pressed on, determined to get to the bottom of things. "Can I see the orders he was given?" I wrote, my eyes locked on the alpha's face.

The alpha's expression turned cold, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flash of anger in his eyes. But then, he smiled again, and his composure returned to normal. "I'm afraid that's classified information," he said, his voice firm but polite.

I raised an eyebrow, not satisfied of the alpha's response. Classified information? That sounded like a convenient excuse to keep me in the dark.

I decided to push my luck and wrote another question on my notepad, "Can I at least know if he's safe?"

The alpha's expression softened, and he placed a hand on my shoulder. "I assure you, he's safe. The beta is a skilled warrior, and he's more than capable of taking care of himself," he said, his voice filled with conviction.

But despite the alpha's reassurances, I couldn't till conclude the feeling that something was off. The alpha's words seemed laced with a hidden meaning, and I couldn't help but wonder what he was hiding.

I looked up at the alpha, my eyes searching for any sign of deception. But his face remained impassive, giving nothing away. I was left with more questions than answers, and a growing feelings of unease.

"And again, after what happened at your room the other day, it's a shock to me that you're showing this much care for him," the alpha said, rolling his eyes.

I wanted to write more questions, but there was no need for that. All the questions I had been asking seemed to be leading to no good.

"See, listen," the alpha continued, his voice firm. "Before my beta went on the mission, I warned him not to come close to you. Since after that encounter you had with him, he was under strict instructions."

The alpha's words sent a chill down my spine. What did he mean by "encounter"? And what instructions could be so important that the beta had to be warned to stay away from me?

I felt so much fear fear also mixed with confusion. What was going on? And why was the alpha being so secretive?

I looked up at the alpha, searching for answers, but his expression remained stern.

"To stay away from you, at all costs," he continued, his voice firm. "He knew the consequences of disobeying me, but it seems he didn't take my warning seriously, if i may ask? Have you had encounter with him since thT incident at your room? ."

I shock my head. The alpha's words were low with a hint of anger, and I couldn't help but wonder what had happened between him and the beta.

I wrote another question on my notepad, "What consequences?"

The alpha's eyes narrowed, and he leaned in closer. "Let's just say that disobedience is not tolerated here," he whispered, his voice sending a shiver down my spine.

I felt a little bit of fear, as my heart skipped a bit, and my mind began to racing with questions. What kind of consequences was the alpha talking about? And what did it have to do with the beta's disappearance?

I swallowed hard, trying to process the alpha's words. The air in the room seemed to grow thicker, and I could feel the weight of the alpha's looks upon me.

Suddenly, the alpha straightened up and cleared his throat. "Enough of this conversation," he said, his voice firm but controlled. "You have a lot to learn, and I have matters to attend to. We will speak again soon."

With that, the alpha turned and walked away, leaving me feeling bewildered and confused. I watched him go, my mind racing with questions and doubts.

As I stood there, trying to make sense of what had just happened, I heard a faint noise behind me. I turned to see.But it was my personal guard. His concerned expression made me feel a bit more at ease.

"Is anything settled?" he asked, his eyes scanning my face. "And how did your meeting go with the alpha? Has all your doubt been cleared?"

The guard's multiple questions left me standing there, unsure of which one to answer first. I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts.

I decided to start with the easiest question. I shook my head, indicating that nothing was settled. Then, I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal about my meeting with the alpha.

The guard's expression turned more serious, and he took a step closer to me. "What happened?" he asked, his voice low and urgent.

I looked around the garden, making sure we were alone. Then, I began to write on my notepad, trying to summarize the events of the meeting. The guard watched with so much focus, his eyes scanning my words as I wrote.
