Aurora's POV
"Where are you taking me to, Alpha Bane?" I asked, as he grabbed me by the hand and began to move forward.
Earlier that day, Alpha Bane asked me to take a walk with him to the garden and I didn't know why, especially because he had told me the previous night that he had a hectic day ahead of him.
"What do you want us to do there?" I asked him, still looking a bit confused.
"We can't go for a walk again or we can't enjoy the view of the garden, my love?"
That was it. I had no answer to his questions because there was nothing to say. It was clear that we were certainly going to be at the garden and I just left him and began to prepare.
As we left the room, I saw him put something into his left pocket. It was black but I couldn't particularly say what it was. I just told myself that I'll carefully observe him so I'll know exactly what it was.
As we got to the garden, Alpha Bane paused to look at me. I gazed into his face and I was reminded of how handsome the love of my life was. When he smiled at me, staring at me with those beautiful eyes, I just felt like jumping into his arms that instant.
He reached out to his pocket and took out the black stuff that I saw him put in there. It was a blindfold and he waved it in front of me. "This is for you, my love," he laughed.
"No way. I'm not going to let you put that on my face. Why would you do that?" I asked, laughing and stretching my right hand to take the blindfold from him but he just kept moving it away from my reach.
"What if I told you that I have a surprise for you and so I need you to put the blindfold on so I could take it to where it is, would you put it on?"
"Do you have a surprise for me?" I asked, very excited. No one had ever given me anything as a surprise. Well, Mrs Scott did, but all she gave me were unpleasant surprises.
"Yes, I do," he said with a nod. "Now, can you please put this on?"
He handed the blindfold over to me and I put it on myself. Then he went behind me and tightened it so that I wouldn't be able to peek through it or anything like that.
It was as if he knew my plan because he laughed aloud when he was tightening it. He must have noticed that I had made it slightly loose just in case my curiosity got the better of me.
Grabbing me by the hand, we walked for several minutes and I wondered when it was all good to be over. I had no idea what he wanted to show me and why my eyes had to be closed.
"Please, where are you taking me to?" I asked again, wishing I could just take the blindfold off.
"You should guess, my love. Try it out. We'll soon get there."
"Well, I hear the sound of flies and crickets and I think we're close to the centre of the garden.
"Wow. You're right, my dear. You do know this place a lot, don't you?"
"I try," I giggled. "Now, tell me what I want to hear."
He said nothing. He was suddenly mute and left my hand too. I was so full of curiosity as I wondered what was to happen next.
