Chapter Forty One 

Chapter Forty One 

1 was stunned into silence; Lara spoke on. 

“Meet me at noon. I stay on the fifth floor, in the last apartment to your right. I’ll be waiting.” 

She rose and walked to the door. “One last thing.” She called. “I swear to the gods, I have no ulterior motives. And I am excited for this.” She said with a smile on her face. 

She was good–looking; I could understand why Alexander packed her. 

I watched as Aric gave instructions to the Trainees, teaching them how to deliver an unexpected strike against their opponent. They listened intently. He spotted me and waved; I waved back. The moment he was done with them, he walked to me. 

“Want to spar?” 

“Come on, aren’t you tired of losing?” 

“I’ve only lost to you twice while sparring. Most of the time, it ends in a tie–or you cheat your way to victory.” 

Ido cheat sometimes, but you don’t expect your enemies to be honorable fighters; I was just training him to be a better warrior. 

“I wanted to ask you a question.” I said, remembering why came here. 

“About what?” 

“The Aureonnas” 

He was silent for a second too long. “I don’t know anything about that.‘ 

“That’s a lie. I can see it clearly on your face.” 

“Okay, I know a thing or two.” 

“Why do I have no knowledge about them? I mean, I felt like a fool when they visited.” 

“They visited?” he asked. “What did they want?” 

“Oh, so you know more than just ‘a thing or two.‘ about them.” 

“Why were they here?” he asked again. 

“First, tell me why they were never spoken about in the pack.” 

“It’s no serious reason; your father didn’t believe in their cause.” 

“And so, he thought keeping me in the dark would contribute to bringing them down?” I asked with a cocked brow. 

I know it doesn’t make much sense, but he didn’t like talking about them. Maybe it’s because they believe in a so- called ‘mind–made–up‘ god they call the god of light.” Aric said. 

“The Aureonnas had come to bring to Alexander’s awareness the danger that lies outside their walls.‘ They call the strange creatures ‘flesh eaters‘–odd beings that feed on living flesh, 

“And what did Alexander suggest to them?”

“You seem interested in this a little too much. What else do you know?” 

“Come on, I’ve always been this curious; and you are always trying to find meaning in everything.”
