When they left the dungeon, I asked Adenos,
'Adenos, who is he?'
'Aida, mmm. Alpha Aida's grandfather, Ernest. When Aida's mother, Anna, returned with Aida, her father, Alpha Ernest. Ernest was very upset about her breaking up with her mate. Anna, the heir to Alpha Ernest, had never had an Alpha aura. But Aida's aura is magnificent. Alpha Ernest had made the decision to appoint her as his heir not long after meeting Aida. She did not let him down in Aida either, she worked hard, and she spent long hours in the field training with warriors and learning war techniques. She undertook his education from Grandpa. Ernest handed over the Pack to Aida 5 years ago and retired. You should have seen it; the Alpha handover ceremony has never witnessed such emotional moments. Now Aida is treating him as a guide.' Adenos said in one breath.
"OK, I get it, but why is he trying to kill me? I'm not sure why he labeled me as evil and a traitor before even meeting me."
"To be honest, I don't know." Since we returned, I haven't had the opportunity to speak with Aida personally." Adenos said, "I have no idea what's going on here."
"So you haven't gotten in touch with your Alpha yet?" "OK, I know it's strange, but Aida always has her own truths, and she's not very patient." Whatever is going on, she is avoiding talking to me. 'I'd best go see what's going on.' On his way out of my cell, he whispered something and locked the door.
'Please don't make a fuss; be patient and wait for my message; I'll try to persuade her not to inject silver into you.' Otherwise, I'll have to inject silver into you today, as per her instructions.'
"Please don't do that to me!" I said, pulling towards a dark corner of the cell.
'I don't want that either, Adrian. I'm afraid I'll have to do it if she doesn't change her mind. Allow me to speak with her and try to come up with an acceptable solution. Before I leave, I'd want to remind you that your dinner will arrive in 2 hours, so eat something.' He walked out of the dungeon without saying anything else.
'BE PATIENT!' I was told once more. I believe I will spend the rest of my life practicing patience.'
'I was alone once more.' I said.
'Don't talk nonsense; I am here!' I don't understand how quickly you forgot me. I don't know who Adenos is and I'm curious. But I'm sure his wolf knows something, I feel it. We'll have to shift to our currently impossible wolf form to find out. This silver in our veins needs to be removed. There's something I need to tell you, but first I need to get rid of the silver effect, get some rest, and regain my strength.' Demus explained.
"Stop talking like a riddle, Demus. Do you understand what all this means? Why is Ernest trying to kill me and why is Aida so upset?"
""Honestly, I seem to have some knowledge but I have a hard time filling in a lot of blanks, I guess because of the silver. The moon symbol above your brow indicates that you are blood relatives. Aida's powerful Alpha aura adds to this information. However, I am unable to locate information on your location or the nature of your relative tie. But I'm confident that if I get rid of the silver in my veins, eat and rest properly, this wisdom lurking in the recesses of my mind will surface. The same may be said for Adenos' identity,' he grumbled.
'You know, I'm so tired, at least I want to sleep until dinner comes. Boy, my advice to you would be to sleep. That way, you can clear your mind more easily.'
'Okay, Demus, got it. At least we agreed on one thing today.' I smiled at Demus in my mind and I drifted to sleep.
Several hours later I woke up to the smell of the delicious dinner.
