Aria"My lady, if I must say, I'm discovering new things about you every day," Erika said as she held Aria's books. Aria couldn't think of anything new that went on in Lady Brunhilda's lessons that made Erika find something new about her. Erika didn't know her as much as she thought she did."What new things are you talking about?" Aria asked, her voice lacking interest in what Erika had to say. "I caught you when you were about to wake Prince Zane this morning. is that how you normally wake him up every morning? Oh, how romantic." Erika exclaimed, dreamingly. "To think that I once imagined that your relationship wasn't going well. I was so wrong about that." Aria felt embarrassed. Erika had been quiet about what she saw all morning, Aria thought that maybe she had let it go since she didn't talk about it with Lady Brunhilda. All through Lady Brunhilda's lessons, Aria thought that Erika would tell her about what she saw because they love gossiping about Aria's life together. As Ar
AriaAria's eyes went to the spot where General Caldwell usually waits for her but he wasn't there. For some days now he hadn't shown up. It was a good thing. Aria was aware that it was a good thing but her mind and willpower couldn't stop the longing she was beginning to have for him in her heart."Have you seen General Caldwell around?" Aria asked Erika who brought in her lunch tray. "I haven't sighted him anyway in the palace my lady, and sincerely speaking, I feel like it's for the best. Those times we always saw him after Lady Brunhilda's lessons made me feel uneasy." Aria nodded her head in agreement as she picked up a toasted bread into her mouth.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Another day passed and Aria still hadn't heard anything from General Caldwell, she thought back to the hurtful words she said to him along with the cold way she treated him. Aria felt bad about it. This was what she wanted, for General Cal
AriaAria drags her foot against the floor in hopes that it is good enough to annoy Prince Zane so that he will let her go."Lady Aria, if you continue to act like this I will order Nadia to carry you. So it's your choice on what you want lady Aria."Aria stopped dragging her foot on the floor. Nadia woke Aria up in a very rude manner in the morning. it was so early Aria that tried going back to sleep but Nadia didn't let her continue her sleep. Nadia was following Prince Zane's orders. Because of Aria's bizarre behavior the other day, he decided to follow her lead by doing something he didn't usually do. He made Aria follow him, throughout the day to any events he needed to attend. And to make things worse for her, Prince Zane isolated her by giving Erika a day off. Aria opened her mouth wide without manners and yawned for the 5th time, or was it the third time? Aria didn't know anymore. She couldn't tell if the reason she was feeling so tired was because she didn't get enough slee
Aria"I said no!" Aria whispered, yelling at General Caldwell. "Why are you in the palace? Didn't Prince Zane tell you not to come to the palace again until he calls for you?" Aria asks the unreasonable man in front of her.Her mate was making her angry, he wanted to ruin her life against her wishes. General Caldwell had sent Radford to call Aria so that they could meet each other in secret. Aria at first didn't want to come but decided to because she knew how stubborn General Caldwell could be. Aria was expecting another confession of love from him, along with words that spoke of how much he missed her. Aria didn't expect that General Caldwell was going to ask her to run away with him so that they could be together. "Don't you love me, lady Aria?" 'no.' Aria thought firmly. spending so much time with him preaching about how much he loved her and wanted to be with her was starting to help Aria get anything that had to do with him out of her system. She could control her wolf desire
Aria"From General Caldwell, my lady. He said that you should read it when you are alone." Aria remembers the words of one of the maids who had pretended as if she hit Aria by the shoulders when all she wanted to do was to secretly pass General Caldwell's message. There were two different maids, Erika knew them but Aria didn't. "Is something wrong with the food, Lady Aria?" Erika asked when she noticed that Aria wasn't eating. Aria thought back to the little note that she had hidden inside her dress when coming from Lady Brunhilda's lessons, she still hadn't read it and thought to herself that she should just ignore it and talk to Erika about what the General was up to."Is there any way, you can get me more meat?" Aria asks."Of course, my lady, I will be right back." Erika smiled and left the room. Aria took out the little piece of paper and read it. If only the maid knew what it was that they were sending to her they wouldn't have agreed to it. General Caldwell wanted to meet h
AriaAria struggled to set herself free from the rope General Caldwell tied her with, her little strength wasn't working. The rope wasn't made of silver or wolfband but Aria kept struggling against something that used to be easy for her. All her werewolf strength had been locked away by Elqenna's pendant. Aria was now starting to wish that the pendant was strong enough to go against her mate bond, that way, her wolf would also be locked away, and then she could fully hate General Caldwell without holding back because he was her mate."If you don't let me go, someone is going to notice that I'm missing." "Do you think that I don't know that lady Aria?" General Caldwell snaps at her. Even though Aria didn't want to feel hurt by his actions, she couldn't stop herself from feeling that way, her wolf was already feeling betrayed."I'm sorry." Caldwell gently brushes a strand of Aria hairs away from her eyes, she tries to push him away with her head. "Don't lie to me, if you are truly so
Aria"Prince Zane brought me here to take care of you." Erika begins to untie the rope that had been used to tie Aria. Aria looked at General Caldwell in fear, but General Caldwell was already paying attention to the door of the horse barns waiting silently for what was to come. Even though he had kidnapped her and wanted to forcefully take her away from the kingdom, a part of Aria still wanted to tell General Caldwell to run away. He should escape while he still had the chance. "Prince Zane." General Caldwell bowed down to Prince Zane in respect. Aria was surprised to see that he still had the guts to greet Prince Zane after what he had done. He wasn't even going to run away, rather he was ready to fight. Aria thought he was a fool. Prince Zane was always with Aidan and Nadia, there was no way he was going to win, regardless of how strong he was. Aria stared at her mate with sadness in her eyes. She didn't like him, but she didn't want him to kill himself because of his stupid ma
Aria"Aren't we going to Lady Brunhilda lessons today?" Aria asks dully. She didn't care about the lessons and didn't want to go. But she didn't want Erika to know her true feelings."No. We are staying in the room, all day today." Erika arranges the bed. "Why?" Aria asks, "Was it Prince Zane's orders?" His name brought a bitter taste to her mouth as she thought of the way he killed her mate the other night in front of her. "No, it was me. Prince Zane isn't aware that I want you to stay in the room today, but we can go out on a stroll if you want." Erika changed the bedsheets, and for a second she stopped and smiled warmly at Aria, "Don't tell me that you are not okay with it, unless he knows. I thought of telling Prince Zane about my idea, but I didn't because I knew he would say yes to it anyway." Aria sat down on the chair in the room, from her seat, she could see the throne-like chair Prince Zane liked to sit on whenever he wanted to intimidate her. She glared at the seat as th
