I contacted my beta on the way to my office.
"Take the boy to the dungeon, Adenos!"
'What, why?' he asked, perplexed.
"Do as I say, Adenos."
'But what happened, he's a very respectful boy who clearly received a good education. His eyebrow..'
'Adenos!' I exclaimed. 'Are you disrespecting me?' I interrupted him by roaring through the mind link.
'Never Alpha, I will fulfil your request immediately. But please let him at least finish his meal. He doesn't appear to have eaten much and has been abused for a long time.'
How? Was he abused? For a moment, I did not speak. I thought by myself.
'Alpha, Alpha are you there?'
'Yes, I am. I wonder how you figured it out, did he say anything to you?'
'No, he simply avoids me when I approach him, doesn't want to be touched, and doesn't make eye contact with me.' Adenos added with a sadness.
'Do you know how old he is?'
'Let me ask him. He says 14 years old. But he looks older than his age.'
'Okay okay. As soon as he finishes his meal, take him straight to the dungeon. I will come to you as soon as possible.' I said and cut the mind link.
This is going to be extremely difficult. Adrian had been abused, I discovered. What had happened to this poor boy? I went to the office to sign some paperwork with that in mind.
Adenos felt sorry for this poor boy. He looked intelligent. He'd said little along the way, but he'd always kept a close eye on Adenos. He had walked away to try him when they stopped for a while to rest, but Adrian had not tried to flee. Adrian had backed up in horror as Adenos reached out to tap his shoulder and point him in the direction of the Packhouse. He even attempted to shield his head with his hand. "What did they do to you?" he asked when he realized they had beaten him. Adrian remained silent. He simply bowed his head.
When Adenos put his hand on his chin to look up to see his face, he said, "Please don't ask me for this, I beg you," and withdrew, "he quickly lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes.
He had to promise not to hurt him, "Okay, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you.'
Then they started running again in their wolf forms. Adrian's wolf was amazing. He had jet black fur." However, he was thin due to malnutrition. But the moon shape above his eyebrow confirmed that he had a connection with Aida.
"Adrian, how did you find the meal?' Adenos stated.
'Yes, thank you so much. I was able to truly fill my stomach for the first time in a long time. How can I express my gratitude? I'm assuming you spoke with your Alpha? Is there an issue? You appear depressed,' Adrian responded.
'Well, You're extremely cautious. I'm not sure how to tell you this, but I must.'
Adrian could tell by the way he spoke that Adenos was about to give him the bad news. This must be a new surprise prepared by the Moon Goddess for him. He held his breath as he waited for Adenos to continue speaking.
'As you know before you came here, Aida, I mean Alpha Aida, asked that you be placed in this room. I don't know exactly what happened either, but she changed her mind. And she gave me the order to lock you up. Adrian, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened while we were gone, but I'll try to fix this.' He said desperately.
'They're going to put me back in the cell, Demus, and I don't want to be thrown in.' In a panic, I turned to my wolf.
'Adrian, calm down! There is a reason why this is happening. I must first learn it. Panic serves no purpose for either you or me. Relax, stupid boy! Just ask him what can be the reason for it.' said Demus.
After taking a few deep breaths, Adrian looked into Adenos' eyes and said,
'Can you explain to me what could be the reason for this? One moment she says I can stay in one room, and the next she orders me to be locked in a cell.'
'Really it is sometimes very difficult to understand her. But she has always been fair. She is very sensitive about being fair, I trust her about it. Therefore, do not worry, she will understand that she had a mistake. Just give her time. So don't worry, she'll figure out what went wrong.'
Adrian shrugged and stood up.
'Okay, I'll follow you if you trust her.' "Take me where you need to," he said, holding out his hands to Adenos.
'No, there's no need for it,' Adenos. 'Simply follow me.' Adrian followed him out of the room.
Adenos unexpectedly halted as they approached the steps leading down to the ground floor. Waited. He mined linked.
'Alpha will be here soon,' he added, turning to Adrian and beginning to descend the steps.
Adenos locked him in one of the cells at the entrance and waited outside the door for Alpha to arrive. Adrian waited restlessly, not knowing what would happen next.
