Chapter 19

Davian walked back and forth around his room restlessly. His brain was filled with all kinds of negative thoughts about Aleta's situation.

Theo watches him do that for hours until he gets dizzy himself. He couldn't calm Davian down at the moment. Davian really didn't look like his old self. Davian looked more like a husband who missed his wife.

"Dave, please stop. You're making me dizzy!" Theo protested.

Dave gave Theo a glance and then went back to walking in circles. As if he didn't care about Theo and was alone in the room.

"I shouldn't have involved Aleta in my problems. I should have kept Aleta by my side. Oh my God, how is this? How is Aleta! What should I do!" Dave thought.

Alvin had just arrived and burst through the closed door of Dave's room. He frowned looking at Dave like he was confused. He then glanced at Theo who didn't look any better. Alvin then walked over to Theo. Yes... Alvin had told him about Aleta who disappeared somewhere as well as Dave's condition who looked like a crazy person.

"I don't know what to do with your friend anymore!" Theo said to Alvin.

"Hey he's your friend too!" Alvin protested.

Theo massaged his forehead which hurt from thinking about Dave.

"Talk to Davian to keep him calm. He's going crazy! This is the first time I've seen this side of Davian," Theo said worriedly.

"Yes... he was fine against the hundreds of wolf packs that captured him. But he's so weak just because he lost one woman of unclear origin," Alvin retorted.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Alvin?" asked Theo.

Alvin ran his fingers through his hair and then took off his glasses. He cleaned them before putting them back on.

"Aleta is Davian's mate. The king has finally found his mate. And I can't believe that his mate is someone like Aleta. Yes... although Aleta is no ordinary person," said Alvin.

"So I'm not the only one who thinks so," Theo replied.

"That's pretty obvious. Every werewolf will be weak with his mate," said Alvin.

"I don't want to interfere in Davian's personal matters. But I had hoped that Davian would only meet his mate after he managed to dethrone Gordon," Alvin added.

"You're right, but things have already happened."

"Looks like, we'll have to keep Davian busy until Aleta returns. Otherwise, Davian will go crazy!" said Alvin.

Alvin and Theo were talking about what they would do to solve Davian's problem. Until suddenly, Felix came into the room and approached Theo and Alvin.

"Good evening Mr. Theo and Mr. Alvin." Felix bowed, saluting as he greeted Theo and Alvin.

"Oh, hi Felix," Alvin said.

While Theo didn't answer because in truth, Theo had been in this house all day.

"It looks like Mr. Davian is shaken up by Miss Aleta's disappearance," Felix said.

"Yes as you can see," Theo said as he glanced at Davian.

Felix with his flat expression then spoke to Alvin and Theo.

"Can I talk to Mr. Theo and Mr. Alvin. But... not here," Felix said.

Theo and Alvin glanced at each other. If Felix wanted to talk to them elsewhere, it must be something important. Theo and Alvin nodded their heads before following Felix out of Davian's room.

Felix took Theo and Alvin to Davian's study. The three of them sat around the table like they were having an important meeting.

"So what did you want to talk about, Felix?" asked Theo trying to start the conversation.

Felix let out a rough sigh before placing his hands on the table.

"I have a favor to ask," Felix said.

"What do you need?" it was Alvin's turn to ask.

"It's about Mr. Dave. You are both Mr. Dave's confidants and his best friends. I hope Mr. Theo and Mr. Alvin can make it clear that Miss Aleta's departure is for the betterment of Mr. Dave," Felix explained.

Theo frowned. Shouldn't Felix know that it was impossible, especially after remembering the conversation between Dave, Theo and Felix this afternoon.

"May I know why, Felix?" asked Alvin curiously.

"You know very well I am the butler of this family. Thousands of years I have served the Ricardo family. I really regret Mr. Davian's attitude like this. Even though I know Mr. Davian is a great man," explained Felix.

"It's all because of that woman!" Felix's expression remained flat. But there was clearly a tone of anger hidden in his words even though he tried to hide it.

"Where is this conversation really going, Felix. Do you want us to get rid of Aleta?" Theo asked later.

"Perhaps roughly so. Mr. Davian almost succeeded in occupying the position of head of the family as well as the leader of our nation. But after Miss Aleta came along, he seems to be busy taking care of her." It seemed Felix had no intention of masking his annoyance at Aleta's presence.

"Neither Theo nor I can help," Alvin said.

"I mean we can't help you get rid of Aleta. It's not that easy. Besides, haven't you realized how Davian is acting?" Alvin asked later.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Felix without changing his expression.

"Isn't it obvious? Aleta is Davian's mate," said Theo with amusement.

Felix was silent for a while before sighing.

"I really didn't expect someone like Miss Aleta to be Mr. Dave's partner!" said Felix.

"You're smarter than us, Felix. You should know that once a wolf nation has found its mate, there's nothing that can stop it from doing anything," Theo explained.

"I wonder where my mate is now. Is he beautiful," Theo added with an upward gaze like someone who was thinking.

Alvin shook his head at Theo's behavior. He then turned to Felix.

"Obviously, we can't do anything. We can only wait and hope that Aleta returns soon before this triggers another side of Davian. Right now Davian might look crazy for just spinning around in his room. But if Aleta doesn't come, I'm afraid Davian's madness will trigger another war." Alvin explained seriously.

"Besides, you don't seem to know yet, do you?" Alvin added to Felix.

"About what?" Felix asked back."

"Aleta is not an ordinary human," Alvin said.

"Then?" Felix frowned curiously.

"Aleta has the bloodline of a witch," Alvin answered firmly.

Theo nodded his head in agreement with Alvin's words. And Felix was just silent without any meaningful expression, as usual.
