"The Lone Assassin" (Completed)

Chapter 33;

**********

The elegant huge gate of the royal wolves never failed to amaze the eyes of anyone especially if you don't live there. The designs and wolf sculpture brings positive vibes and every step feels like heaven.

As they enter the deeper part where the king's chamber is, Gulf can't help himself thinking of what he might find out after staying in the palace. He asked Mew to have a short vacation in there.

Not telling his mate that he has something to find out there, Gulf felt nervous and scared at the same time.

"What would be his reaction once he finds out the truth or maybe Draco was just playing tricks till his death! " Gulf tried to calm himself.

They were walking when a sudden weird smell linger on Gulf's nostril, his heart beating fast like crazy but he can't utter any words.

"Dad? " Gulf whispers as his eyes change into the shade of red.

"What did you say, baby? " Mew asked him but he heard what his mate said.

Gulf sniffs the air trying to locate the scent that is too familiar to him. His forehead wrinkled when he didn't smell it anymore.

"Does my nose tricked me? " He said to himself.

"I felt something is not right Gulf! " Blizzard replied.

"We need to act cautiously! " Gulf answered.

"Gulf! " Mew called him again. "I've talked to you for a while now asking you if there is a problem but you ignored me! Are you okay?" Mew said staring sternly at him.

"I'm sorry, I smell my dad's scent just now but it fades right away! " Gulf answered honestly, he won't want to lie to his mate anymore. Even if it's about his father he will tell Mew the truth.

"It's impossible! The palace elder will not approve a vampire inside the place unless he will stay at the dungeon! " Mew said holding Gulf's hand to guide him inside their room.

"The dungeon? " Gulf asked, hearing the word bring chills on his spine.

"Yes! A dungeon, like a prison but that part of the palace is for vampires only. I don't want you to see it so don't ask me to take you there! " Mew replied coherently smiling at his mate who looked at him calmly.

Gulf wanted to ask why but he bite his tongue to do so. The more question he asked the more doubts will arise. Heaving a deep breath his mind drifted on the words that Draco said.

He looked at Mew who is busy taking their things out of the bag. The palace is huge so he doesn't know where to start. Everyone knows already that he is a wolf king's mate so it will look strange if they see him loitering around without his mate.

"Baby are you okay? " Mew snaps at him for his mate is in a daze.

Gulf stare at him and smiled. He knows that his mate felt his agitated feelings since they arrived and he doesn't want to stir confusion towards his mate.

"I am sorry love! I'm just thinking about something, nothing serious. " Gulf said and lean his face to kiss his mate.

Though he doubts his mate's statement he shrugs it off for he doesn't want to ruin their supposed vacation.

"I think you're tired! Rest now I will come back later to pick you up for dinner with my father! " Mew said caressing his hair and kissed him on his forehead.

He can only smile at his mate as he closed his eyes, he is sure that he will find out something while he stays at the palace. Mew left the room uttering sweet words to him before closing the door.
