Alpha Bane's POV
As I walked down the street with Donald and the rest of my guards, I couldn't help but think about all that I said to Aurora both the previous day concerning our stroll and in the morning before I left.
I had thought that I'd just head out and handle business very quickly without any issues at all, but it wasn't to be so. There were several things to be done and they all required some good time, which made it nearly impossible for us to have that walk.
Yet, I believed it was going to happen. I just wanted to get done with all that was on my plate so I could get back to the room and plead with her to go out with me, even if it was late.
Knowing how much she had longed for it, I did not doubt that she was going to yield to my request. I was going to pester her until she'd give in. I knew she would. She just had to.
As we walked, I began to feel a bit uneasy. It was a very weird feeling that I struggled to explain. "Hold on, " I said to Donald, as we got very close to the garden.
"Is there a problem, my Alpha?" He asked, walking past me and trying to survey the area.
"Something's wrong. I can feel it. I just can't place my head around what it is but something's just off."
I motioned to him and the guards to keep walking and I walked in front of them but I'd barely taken ten steps when I stopped again, feeling the same way.
This time, there was something different. I wasn't in doubt about what was going on. "It's Aurora, " I said to Donald, recognising what was happening. "She's in some sort of trouble. Something's not right with her and I can feel it. It's my wolf, trying to let me know that she's in a very uncomfortable position. I need to find her right now and make sure that she's alright."
We walked quickly to where Aurora was. I didn't know exactly where she was but I just kept moving in hope that I was going to find her. My wolf knew and I followed his lead as he instinctively told me what to do. I was very grateful for the wolf bond.
The more we walked, the more I felt strongly that we were close to her and in a few minutes, I could smell her. I could also smell someone else; it was a very familiar scent and we walked faster to see what was going on.
As I got to where she was, I saw that she wasn't alone. Dylan's mother was with her and they were certainly not having a friendly chat. I already knew that she didn't like Aurora at all and if I felt uncomfortable, it was certainly because she was hurting her so badly.
I wanted to immediately start screaming at her, knowing fully well that it could never have been Aurora causing the trouble but I didn't want to be accused of taking sides and drawing assumptions, so I chose a better path.
"What's happening here?" I asked, turning to Dylan's mother to hear what she had to say but she said nothing.
It looked like she was talking before I arrived and in my presence, she suddenly went mute.
