Chapter 36

Adara's POV . 

"The book of the past!, an ancient book" I have never heard of such a powerful book until recently from Beta Jameson. What could the book say about why the book was so important that only alpha could possess it ? Could it be  some forbidden revelation?. My worries arose at the conneer in my room and I was left in a state of confusion. 

My thoughts were all on how to get the book of the past but how? I became doubtful. Jameson's revelation about the book also put me at the state of unjust. 

"I don't know a specific place but I knew that the book is in this castle, only the alpha would know" Jameson thought. 

I became so worried and I wondered where the book might be in the castle. I stood up immediately to the Alpha, I became so worried and concerned doubted if he would be ready to listen to me or just chase me away like a hungry lion but I acted courageously and went to his room. 

"Hello, who's there?" He asked. 

My heart beat rapidly and his deep voice echoed in my heart that I'm almost pee in my body. My anxious feeling arose. I quickly hid behind the door close to the alpha's room immediately so that he wouldn't see me even if he opened the door. I stay behind the room hoping that he would open the door soon. 

I went back to the door a few minutes later. 

Knocked the door, "who's there?" he questioned. This time I felt a glaze of courage and responded affectionately with a little phobia in my heart. 

"Hey it's me Adara , please May I have a few moments with you my lord?" 

I stayed patiently and waited for his response. The atmosphere goes bummer for some moments. Just as I'm about to turn my back and leave, I heard the door open. 

"Please come in," the Alpha said slowly as he opened the door.

I entered timidly and became thoughtful on how he would react if I should mention the book to him, I decided not to once I sighted at him. 

"Why are you here?" He questioned. 

Sigh, I became thoughtful for a bit and caught up emotionally. I wept bitterly to him to express how deeply sad I'm. 

The alpha felt so concerned and he couldn't hold on seeing me weeping. He moved closer to me and tried to console me. Not quite long, someone came to knock on the door. 

"Good evening my lord"

The mood went off Immediately as the Alpha blocked my mouth and proceeded to ask. "Who's there?" Ashir question. 

"It's me Malachi," he responded. 

Ashir stood up immediately and put himself together. 

"I have to go now, I have to go to the meeting," he explained. 

"Okay , please take care my lord" I responded. 

Ashir opened the door and went out of the room. I went alongside her and watched his back. I saw Malachi turning back skeptically at me and I could feel that he's up to something. His scary blue eyes almost pulled me down. I became so suspicious of him and I could feel that he's up to something. 

"Where could his library be?" I soliloquized and my confusion arose. I walked out of his room to find his library but I couldn't see any rooms related to the library. I became more confused and felt doubtful. 

I proceed to walk to a room not far from the Alpha's room. The room looks like an ancient museum which contains some pictures, ceramics, statues, gold, silver, maps etc. I entered the room slowly and thoughtfully. 

I walked around the room gently, maybe I could find the clue I was searching for. I checked inside the room one after the other, concentrating on the books and maps. 

Unexpectedly, I heard footsteps approaching. I quickly hid behind the door immediately, thousands of thoughts in my mind. It's so unfortunate no one would believe that I had come to the room to look for a book. Even if they believed me, everyone would feel curious and wonder what I intended to use the book for. I might end up as a traitor if I should get caught. My worries grew bigger and I quickly hid behind a door in the room, entering a man suspiciously.

I stayed silent where I was hidden and I watched the man enter. The man entering looks so suspicious and I felt so wary wondering what he might be looking for. I took a close look at the man and my mind drifted to the man I had seen earlier with the Alpha. 

"Could it actually be Malachi?" I doubted and my confusion grew more. 

I became more silent behind the door and took a close look at him. The curtain obstructing my view had created a large obstruction and I hardly saw the person but I could see where he was helding to. 

"Where could it be?" He said to himself loudly. 

My curiosity became more and I wondered what the man was talking about. It's quite unfortunate that I can't hear him clearly but I believe that he's intended to steal something from the alpha. 

Some minutes later, the man walked out slowly without taking anything with him. My curiosity grew bigger and I remained silent, hidden deeply behind the door. After I watch the man leave. I quickly moved out of the strange room and walked slowly to my room and lay down thoughtfully on the bed. 

Few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. 

"Hey my lady, may I come in" 

I quickly stood up curiously and moved closer to the door. 

"Who are you?" I questioned. 

"It's me Sarah, you have been summoned to the pack meeting" she responded. 

I felt so shocked and I became so worried wondering if I had got caught by the guards. I became so thoughtful thinking about how I'll work out of the castle without being caught and escape to my pack to cover my shame. 

"Please, tell the alpha that I'll join him soon" I responded. 

"No my lady, the alpha said that you must come with me. 

 I felt so shocked and walked out of the room slowly. Silence and thoughts in my mind. 

"This way my lady, " said the maid.
