A Message Meant Only For Me

~ Emilia ~

“You can come in, Ivy." I responded, and Adrain moved to the door.

He opened the door, and Ivy bowed, making way for him to leave before she came in.

‘Shit, I was still tying a towel.’

"Just hold on, Ivy; I will invite you in when I’m done.”

Ivy turned back and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

I hurriedly put on my clothes and then called her back.

“Ma’m, someone brought you this." She said and stretched out a white envelope to my face.

I looked at it and then back at her face.

I crossed my arms. "Someone dropped it for me?” I queried, confused.

“Yes, ma'am. The letter was directed to you.” She explained.

What she said wasn’t just adding up.

Who would possibly drop off a letter for me?

“Drop it here, Ivy." I pointed at the couch.

Ivy gently placed the envelope there and bowed before leaving.

After I had packed my hair, I went to where the envelope was kept and picked it up.

I went to my bed and sat down, assessing the letter. ‘Emilia Grayson’ was boldly written on it.

Someone who knew me well then.

I tore open the sealed envelope and pulled out the letter.

My heart kept racing with thought as I unfolded the white paper.

Who would possibly want to reach me without texting?

I read the first line, but it made no sense.

I continued reading and paused when I got to a part.

Who was this and why would he give me three days to come see him?

And he did mention my father's name, showing he knew me better.

“Three days time at Crescent City, east side of Lycaonia." I memorized.

Leaving this pack was going to be hard; the pack was guarded heavily, and Adrain warned his guards not to allow me to leave without his permission.

It was going to be a hard task, though, but I needed to go because he has an important message and necessary documents to sign.

I picked up the envelope and then pulled out the remaining paper in it.

I gasped when my eyes rested on it. It was a painting of me. I did it years ago and haven’t seen it for a while, even before I left my home.

I picked up my phone to scan the sender's code written down, but it says ‘Code is null.'

How then would I find the exact place when I get to Crescent City, since it says I should scan after my arrival?

This is actually strange; I decided on telling Adrain about it and waved it off on a second thought.

The letter says, 'Do not relate to anyone.’

I was just going to time perfectly and plan it out before the next three days.

I climbed out of my bed and headed to my dresser to put on something more comfortable. I would take a walk round the park today to check out how it’s been guarded.

I folded the papers and placed them in my luggage, carefully zipping the bag and keeping it in a safer position.

~~~~~~~~~

The weather was really cold outside; I breathed in slowly and ordered Ivy to come with me.

We came out of the Alphas' quarters, and I then found out it was heavily guarded.

The guards stood at every end of the door, holding their swords in their hands like they were ready for war.

Leaving this pack was going to be a very difficult task. At one point, I thought about confiding in a guard. But he wouldn’t hesitate to tell Adrain.

They avoided him like a plague.

“I want you to lead me to the main gate that leaves the pack," I said, and Ivy stopped.

She bowed and hesitated for a second before speaking.

"Ma'am, the area is out of bounds, except to people who run errands or with the Alphas' approval."

My jaw tightened. ”Take me to the gate now, Ivy.” I commanded in a stern voice.

Ivy shrieked in fear, confused at what to do; she deliberated if she should follow my orders or Adrain's.

“We have to take the other way." She pointed to the left side.

“Okay, let's go." I urged her and we started going.

We had barely walked five steps when a voice called me.

“Luna Emilia?" I halted in my steps and turned to see the person.

Austin! What does he want?

He approached Ivy and me.

“The Alpha is requesting your presence, ma'am."

"My presence?” I asked, unsure.

"Yes, ma'am, he is at his study now, waiting for you," Austin said, bowed, and left.

I hissed.

Why would he need me now? I had something important to do.

I turned to Ivy.

“We have to head back to the quarters now; I will continue the walk by tomorrow."

She bowed without saying a word, and we headed back to the quarters, making up my mind to continue with it the next day.
