Aylin then picked up another record and studied it after dismissing the two Knight Commanders. However, before the two men could leave the room, Azimir sauntered in with a huge smile on his face and the moment they saw him here, Gregory and Erik nodded at him politely.

Instead of allowing the men to leave, Azimir blocked their path, startling them with his unexpected actions.

"Alpha Azimir, please excuse us," Erik stated loudly enough for Aylin to hear and she looked up at once only to see the man she so desperately wanted to avoid, smiling at her fervently. His gaze still held the gentleness in them and Aylin lowered her hands, dropping the record on the table.

"Alpha Azimir, is there something you need?" Aylin tried to be as courteous as possible but her tone was still stiff and unfriendly. Yet, Azimir did not mind it and folded his hands as he leaned against the door, still not allowing the men to leave.

"Why Commander? Am I not allowed to visit you if I do not need anything from you?" Azimir retorted and Aylin\'s lips twitched at his sarcasm.

"Well, since we are already having this conversation, I will be frank with you, Commander." Azimir dropped his hands and padded towards her, his footsteps light and agile. He stopped in front of the table, and keeping an eye on the lady who was sitting on the chair, Azimir leaned forward until his eyes met her and he was right in front of her.

"I do have something I need from you, Commander." Azimir started and did not move his gaze away from her and all of a sudden, Aylin felt her heart pound in her chest. She stared at him in a daze and she subconsciously licked her lips

Azimir\'s gaze darkened on seeing her sensual action. But he did not falter and he kept still, watching her closely. Every emotion that passed through her eyes was captured by him and he was enamored by her completely. She was truly a beautiful lady, one who was meant for him.

"Will you not ask me what I need from you, Commander?" Azimir queried and Aylin was completely in a trance did what he wanted, what her heart wanted.

"What do you need from me, Azimir?"

"I need your acceptance, Aylin."

Aylin tilted her head in confusion, not knowing what the man was saying.

"I need you to not push me away. I need you to confide in me all your problems. I need you to be happy and always smiling."

Aylin\'s trance broke at once and she moved her body away from the man, trying to evade his hypnotic gaze. She was still shaken by how quickly he had captured her attention and made her almost agree to his requests.

"Alpha Azimir, please behave." She seethed and glanced at the two men who were still in the room. She was stunned to see their backs and her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment.

\'How am I going to face everyone from now onwards?\' She wondered and glared at the man who did not show much reaction to her fury.

"I have not yet started to misbehave, Aylin. So, do not tempt me, I might not be able to hold back." His smile widened while a chill went down Aylin\'s back. His gaze and actions were oddly seductive and Aylin\'s self-control almost broke on seeing them.

Erik and Gregory could hear every word that was being passed between the couple and they feel awkward being stuck in such a situation. Every time, they heard the ambiguous words, their ears bled and they were now just short of losing their souls. Their poor hearts could not handle the blatant display of affection.

Yet, they could not leave the place either for they had an inkling that the young Alpha of Ideni had stopped them with a reason. They stood with their backs facing the couple for them to break out from their sweet world and notice them. Alas, their wishes were heavily unanswered.

Neither their Commander nor the young Alpha pitied them, making them listen to their sweet, affectionate words.

"Alpha Azimir," Aylin gritted her teeth, not knowing how the stop the man.

"Yes, Commander Aylin?" Azimir smiled at her playfully and pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear before he straightened his back.

"Sir Erik, Sir Gregory, please do come inside. Why are you still at the door?" Azimir\'s voice startled the two men who were absent-mindedly thinking to themselves.

\'If not for you brazen display of love would we have to stay here?\' Gregory scoffed in his mind and the two men turned around, making sure to keep their eyes half-open. It was only when they noticed that the couple was decent that they walked to them and stood beside the young Alpha.

"Alpha Azimir, do you have something to discuss with us?" Erik brought up the topic first, worried that the couple would start showing off their love for each other again.

"I do, Sir Erik. I do. I wanted to discuss this matter since the time I visited Dariel in the dungeon. But I was unable to for I was waiting to find the right time."

"Is it the right time now, Alpha?" Erik queried and turned serious at once, forgetting all his grievances for the time being.

"Yes," Azimir glanced at Aylin and his eyes fell on the open record on the table. Though he could not see the content much, he could still find out it was related to the land dispute between the kingdoms of Iqara and Othusha and he turned his head away from the table at once.

Aylin noticed his strange behavior and she looked only for her eyes to widen. Though she trusted the man to keep the matters of politics and governance safe, it was the others she did not trust. Since Azimir himself had turned his gaze away from her, she tacitly closed the record and placed it with the other pile of records.

"Alpha Azimir, please speak." Since all the men were standing, Aylin too stood up and folded her hands, waiting to see what the man had in mind.

Azimir turned around and when he did not see any open records, he nodded lightly to himself before he lifted his eyes to meet the other three in the eye.

"Aylin, I want to speak about the man who assassinated your family."

"But..."

"Let me finish please." Azimir stopped her from interrupting him. "I know the man behind this Aylin. I know him."

"What?" Aylin was flabbergasted and she gawked at him. Her mind had turned into mush and she could not even comprehend what was happening around her. She was in a state of total shock and Azimir pitied her for her state.

He so badly wanted to stop everything and hold her in his arms and comfort her and assure her. But he could not and he sighed in frustration.

"Yes, Aylin. I know the assailant and I also know why you are trying to avoid me. Is it not because he has threatened you with my life that you are being careful around me?"

"No..." Aylin\'s voice turned heavy. Yet, she did not give up and stood still in front of him, not giving into him. "You are wrong. That is not what the truth is."

"Oh, then do tell me what the truth is."

Aylin stayed silent, not knowing how to answer him and Azimir\'s stance softened.

"You do not have to say a word, Aylin.. I have already found out the truth and I know about the masked man who has been warning you to stay away from me."
