Chapter 217: Worried for my sister"Do you think I gave you a choice?" Casaio held her face with his one hand, fiercely. "You are supposed to do what I’ve asked you. Gabriel laid unconscious because of the master you serve. I need to see him myself even if it’s by risking my own life." Zilia held his gaze in bewilderment. He wasn’t thinking in a right mind. Casaio let go of her, seeing those eyes full of the feelings he once cared about. Turning his back to her, he moved his hand to his head, his hair threading in his fingers. "Who attacked Gabriel?" Zilia asked in a soft tone. "A woman, who was dressed up in a nurse’s outfit," Casaio replied. He lowered his hand and pivoted on his heels. "Her face was covered, and Gabriel couldn’t sense her wolf. It seems she had masked it. Do you know anything about that?" Zilia contemplated for a few seconds before giving the answer. "If she subdued Gabriel with her strength, then I believe it was the Shadow Spy that the Alpha from Blood Dominion uses for his most crucial tasks. I did hear from Berik about it in the past. But I never got to meet one." "That’s why I’ve to go there and find the Alpha myself," Casaio stated. "It is too risky for you. The note says Master wants you killed," Zilia said, feeling worried. If she wouldn’t carry out that task, then someone else would be sent to finish it. What if it would be a shadow spy? "So? Would you finish that task?" Casaio asked. "Never. Why would I do something like that? You always see me with your dubious eyes. I told you before too, if you don’t trust me, then you should’ve let me get that death sentence." "If you were in my shoes, would you have trusted me? You started it, Zilia," Casaio muttered. "Be prepared tonight." He turned to leave when Zilia caught his wrist. He glanced at their hands when she promptly pulled away hers. "Let me find out first about this shadow spy, who attacked Gabriel. You saved Idris and now, keeping him in the palace. I promise I’ll not betray you. Even if I’ve to give my life, I’ll protect you." "Can you really protect me?" Casaio scoffed. "Just try to find out who this woman was," he instructed. He went to the door to leave when Zilia grabbed a bag with snacks and rushed after him. "Please give these to Idris. He likes these snacks, so I bought them for him," Zilia urged. Casaio didn’t refuse and took the bag from her before leaving. Zilia returned to the small living room and settled on the sofa. "How long do I have to bear his angst?" she murmured. Then, her thoughts suddenly shifted to the same strange man whom she encountered in the supermarket. He looked so weird and it felt like he knew her. "I should request the owner to let me see the CCTVs," Zilia decided. ~~~~~ Jake was released, but the only he could stay alive along with his mate by leaving the capital forever. Casaio made the arrangements for it and by the night, they were sent off to another city. "Your Highness, I’ll be forever grateful to you for providing free treatment to my mate despite what I did," Jake said, keeping his head low. "Don’t mention it," Casaio said. "Get into the vehicle. By the morning, you’ll be in a new city with your mate." Jake bowed and climbed into the backseat of the car. Once the car left his view, he went to see Idris, holding the bag tightly in his hand. As soon as he entered the quarters of Idris, he found out the boy was seated on a chair of the giant balcony. "Your Highness, Idris has been like that for hours. I tried knowing what’s going on in his mind, but he’s quiet about it. He said he would tell only you," the trusted servant replied. "Hmm. Give us some privacy," Casaio said. The servant bowed and left the two alone. Casaio walked toward the boy, who tilted his head when felt someone stopped by the chair’s side. "Your Highness!" Idris exclaimed, rising quickly to his feet and bowing to Casaio. "I heard you wanted to see me and were sitting quietly here," Casaio remarked. "Yes. I wanted to tell you something," Idris said. "What is it?" Casaio inquired. "I’ve seen the Alpha of the Blood Dominion," Idris pronounced. "I thought I should tell you. He met me three or four years ago and even gave me a warning." "Warning?" Casaio frowned. "Hmm. He warned if I ever open my mouth in front of my sister, he would kill her," Idris stated. "So? What do you want to say?" Casaio was unable to understand him. "I think he will find my sister soon. What if he finds out my death was staged? He will harm my sister then," Idris stated with a horrific expression covering his face. "I told you it wouldn’t happen. But I’m surprised you finally recalled the Alpha. When I asked you earlier, you said you didn’t tell me," Casaio mused. "Forgive me, Your Highness. I was scared," Idris said, fidgeting with his fingers nervously. "I–I was worried for my sister. Brother Dane (the trusted servant) told me that my sister and you are mates. I felt I shouldn’t hide this specific information from you," he added. Casaio didn’t tell him Zilia was no longer his mate. Also, not many in the palace knew he had already rejected Zilia. "So, how does that Alpha look?" "He’s bald and he has a big snake tattoo curled up his arm to his neck. He’s a very scary man, Your Highness. I still can feel the goosebumps. He-he..." Idris stuttered as his breathing turned ragged, "... Killed a man before me. He showed me how he would harm my sister." Casaio recalled how Zilia talked about encountering a strange man in the supermarket. "Idris, I’ve to go. Your sister bought these for you," Casaio said, handing him the bag and dashing out. Without wasting a moment, he teleported to Zilia’s apartment. This chapter is updated by freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
