Aurora's POV
It was evening already and I decided to visit Alpha Bane in his chambers. We had agreed that we were going to meet but it wasn't time for that yet. I couldn't wait. I had a lot of things on my mind and my curiosity got the better of me.
Without knocking, I pushed the door open with force and immediately barged into the room, hoping to get him startled since he wasn't expecting anyone at that time.
He wasn't startled one bit. He just adjusted himself on the bed to see who it was that got into his room without his consent. On seeing that it was me, he took a deep breath. He was probably very annoyed at the guts of whoever barged into his room but on seeing that it was me, he had to calm down.
His frown turned to a brief smile as I got to the bed and sat by his side. He didn't look to be in the mood for a chat. He looked so exhausted.
"You wouldn't keep lying on your bed, would you?" I asked him, forcing him to stand to his feet as I did the same.
"I was just having some rest." His brows were so narrow and he looked like he was about to cry.
I almost laughed at the way he said it. He sounded like a kid who had been deprived of what he truly wanted. I just wanted some time with him so he could make my curiosity go away.
He stared at me for a while as I said nothing and then, he pulled me into a hug and kissed me. I loved it when he did that. It made me feel wanted and it wasn't a feeling that I was used to in the past.
"I've missed you so much, my love," he said to me, causing me to giggle with a blush. He had that over me and he always did well to use it. I loved the way he was with words, they always melted my heart.
"I've missed you too," I muttered softly to him as he caressed my right cheek with his fingers.
"I'm curious though, we weren't supposed to meet at this time, right? It was to be after dinner. Why the sudden change? You do know that we'd have some time to ourselves by that time, right?"
Too many questions. He loved to do that a lot. I wondered how many of them I was supposed to answer or if I was supposed to answer any of them at all. Nevertheless, I just smiled at him and licked my lips.
"Nothing has changed. We're still going to come back here after dinner if it pleases you. I just wanted to come here first."
His mood seemed to be lightened by my response. He led me to the couch in his room and we both sat. "How did your day go, my…?"
"I've been very curious about something," I said, cutting him off. I just wanted to get it off my chest.
His brows were raised and he placed his hands on the chair and asked, "What is it that you want to know?"
I cleared my throat, ready to throw what I had. "I'm curious about what you and my father talked about during your stroll with him earlier. I've not been able to get it off my mind and I want to know what you both talked about."
