Chapter 31

Ashir's POV...

"You better leave now before I change my mind," I shouted angrily at her, watching her leave emotionally with thousands of thoughts in my head. I became so confused and ran out of ideas of what I could do next. My nerves grew bigger, and I was out of the state of myself.

"Please stop, Alpha," Adara's voice echoed deeply in my head, and my nerves grew bigger.

"Please stay away from me," I shouted at her angrily, but she seemed so stubborn until I pounded my anger at her, and my nerves became out of control. No one dared to say a word.

I proceeded to my room and locked myself inside emotionally. I stood thinking...

"What was she saying? Did she really mean it? How can she claim to be my mate?" I thought to myself ambiguously and felt so tired. I stayed in my room, battling with my confusion.

After some minutes, I went to my bedside and sat down, thinking. The view of the interrogation appeared in my mind, and I could picture how courageously she was claiming to be my mate, even if she had to give up her life.

"Who can do that? I guess none, so courageous and passionate. But I wonder why she had to. I could also remember the first day of our encounter at the training center."

"Could she be a witch, or why was she always spying on me?" My thoughts grew bigger, and I blamed myself for overreacting. No one could come to my comfort.

I stood up some minutes later from the bedside and went to the bathroom, soaking myself in the water, trying to free up my mind. My thoughts became more, and my mind kept holding on to the thoughts.

"Who was she exactly? I really need to know her backstory," I thought to myself. Immediately, I rose up from the pool and got dressed.

"Smith, Smith, I need you here!" I shouted.

"Smith is not around; he has been sent out on a mission," said the guard.

"Okay," I responded.

"Go and prepare my horse," I ordered.

A few minutes later, the guard came back to inform me that my horse was already ready.

"Your horse is ready, my lord," the guard said.

"Okay, now join me. We are heading to Dark Moon Pack to meet a friend," I ordered.

"Okay, my lord," he responded.

I sat down on my horse immediately, and he did likewise. I kicked the horse and proceeded to ride, heading to Dark Moon Pack. The journey proceeded well, and we arrived at the Dark Moon Pack in one piece.

"Stop here, I'll be right back," I said to the guard who followed me as we got to the cave. The cave was owned by a historian who had become my spy.

"Yes, my lord," he responded.

I went inside the cave and sat down quietly, looking at everyone around me.

"How may I help you?" one of the cave guards came to me and asked.

"Laluba lalura."

I looked at his face immediately and communicated with him secretly in a secret dialect.

"Please follow me!" He responded.

I stood up immediately and followed him to a secret room in the cave. The guard turned back after getting to the secret room.

"There you go," he said to me and pointed to the room.

I nodded my head with thanks and proceeded to enter the room.

"Good evening, my lord. It's nice seeing you here this evening. Hope no problem," the historian said to me excitedly as I entered.

"No problem, I'm just here to make an inquiry on something," I responded and moved closer to him.

"Please go on," he responded.

I brought out a tag from my pocket followed by a picture analysis. "Here, can you help me find out who she was? I need all the details about her," I explained.

The historian collected the picture and the tag from me.

"I'll be right back, my lord," the historian responded and brought out an ancient book from his library. He opened the book to identify the tag.

I waited patiently for his feedback. Some minutes later, he spoke out his thoughts.

"This tag belongs to a princess, and she's from the Night Shadows Pack," he responded.

I took a deep breath and became naive hearing the same thing all the time.

"Couldn't you find out anything else about her?" I questioned.

The historian looked at me uncertainly, wondering what else I wished to know about her.

"What else would you like to know about her?" He asked.

"I need to know all the details about her," I responded.

The historian opened some files again from his library and then responded.

"Her name was Joy Mitchell, and she's the daughter of the last Alpha from Night Shadows Pack. Her father was a brave soldier and a powerful Alpha who savaged in the enemy's heart. Her father died some decades ago, and she was reported lost before being found back ten years ago. She joined the Night Shadows, and she's so powerful. That's all I could say about her right now," the historian explained.

"Thank you for your time," I greeted, then continued. "I have come here to give you a task. I want you to start spying on this lady and report to me all her moves. What she did, who she talked to, and every single thing she did," I ordered.

"Okay, my lord, I'm pleased to be at your service," the historian responded.

I opened the door and exited the cave immediately, heading back to the castle.

My thoughts arose, and I doubted what she's up to. "It's not mine to decide; I have to wait until the full moon arises and wait for the gods to decide. Nothing could hold me back from being with my true mate," I thought to myself emotionally. What would happen next? I felt so lost and left myself to destiny and God's will.
