Battle line

Weeks had passed yet Oberon didn't seem to have a clue. He had still not found the person who had sent that note.

He was in his study room, he just sat down, staring into space. His hand was propped against his chin, he was still in thought.

Nyx still saw the stranger but only at night and he kept receiving those notes. What exactly could be the cause of all these?

He sighed, "What if mother was right? What if the note is actually referring to Nyx?"

"Come to think of it, Nyx is the only one who sees a stranger at night, what if that is the stranger who sends these notes." He looked at the notes all stacked at a corner, all their handwritings, faded.

He sighed and rested back on his chair, "There's a possibility, Nyx is the 'innocent blood' these notes refer to." He sucked on his lower lip.

He held his head, he was already having headaches thinking of this too much. An idea popped into his head.

"Nyx, Nyx is the key!" He said with brightened eyes.

"Nyx is the only one who sees him and also the only one who can speak with him. Definitely, Nyx can get some information from him." He grinned.

He nodded in satisfaction and stood up heading to the door. His mother was right after all, he had to take Nyx seriously. She had to be treated like the queen she was.

He ordered some servants to go move her belongings to his room. They were a couple, why not act like one?

They did as instructed.

"Where are you all taking my things to?" She asked the maids who had began to pack her things.

"His Majesty had ordered us to move your things to his room." One of them spoke up.

She arched her brow, "Oh, he said that?" Her cheeks went hot.

"Yes my lady." She nodded.

Nyx felt butterflies throwing a party in brt stomach, she tried as much as she could to comport herself in front of the maids.

All her things were moved to Oberon's room. Soon it was time for her to go to his room. She was excited and couldn't help showing her happiness.

She knocked on the door but got no response, she opened the door and found no one in the room.

She exhaled deeply and entered the room, closing the door behind her.

"I can finalize sleep with him again. Yes!" She exclaimed happily.

She twirled and landed on the bed, his scent filled her nose, her heart raced faster, "This feeling..." She blushed.

The door opened, she quickly sat up. It was Oberon. He came into the room looking around with searching eyes, his eyes landed on her and they softened.

"Ah, you agreed to come back." His lips went up and he walked towards the bed. He stared at her underneath.

"It is a good thing you came back, I need you." He said softly and looked away.

Her heart jumped, Did he really need her?

"I will be very happy to help." She smiled.

He nodded, "You are out key now Nyx, it seems everything is pointing to you, I wonder what importance you hold." He said the last sentence quietly.

She laughed nervously, "I will help in anyway I can." She replied.

He faced her, a small smile on his lips, "I'm so sorry Nyx, I know I've been a very bad person towards you." He closed his eyes and exhaled, "I hope you can forgive me in the nearest future."

She creased her brows, "How do you mean?"

He paused, there was no answer to that, "I just hope you forgive me, things might later turn out to be very messy."

He felt a hand wrapped tightly around his, he looked at his hand, Nyx was holding it, he looked at her, "It is okay, everything will be fine." She smiled at him.

He could only sigh, he still hadn't found a way to tell her she wasn't his mate. He just nodded and smiled.

"I can promise you Nyx, you will not lack anything here, I will make sure you get all that you desire." He squeezed her hand.

She felt so special and loved that moment, she could swear she had never felt that way before she met him.

She rested her head on his shoulder, "Nyx?"

"Yes?"

"I really, really need your help." He said calmly.

"What should I help you with? I will do it if I can." She smiled.

"When exactly does that stranger appear to you?"

"Just at night."

"Even when you are not in the garden?"

"Yes, he came to my room last night, I still do not know how he entered, and I am very sure I locked my door and my window." She sighed.

"Hmm, that is very strange. Do you have an idea of the pack he is from?"

She shook her head, "He does not give me any information about himself, he only warns me of an imminent danger and then disappears. I have gotten used to his presence though." She sighed.

"Nyx, since you are the only person who can communicate with this stranger, when next he comes, I need you to be calm and get all the information you can from him. We need to track him down." He told her.

"Get all his information? I can not seem to speak when he is around me." She whined.

"Just be brave and do it, I assume he will come again tonight. So, you just do what I told you to do."

She fidgeted a little, "He.. is somehow scary..." She gulped.

"I wish I could be there with you but I can not. If you are able to do this, I promise you will be rewarded greatly."

She raised her head and looked at him, uncertainty in her eyes.

"Do not be scared Nyx, this is for the good of everyone and you are out only hope."

She sighed and dropped her gaze, after s while she raised her head, "Okay, I will do it."

He smiled in appreciation, "Thank you so much."

The battle line had been drawn.
