Aria Prince Zane's words hang heavily in the air. Aria froze at his words. She couldn't believe it, those two words were something she had never let herself dream of him asking her.the idea of it was simply impossible, just the way it was impossible for her to live her whole life as a human, pretending as though her wolf wasn't there. Aria stared at Prince Zane. he couldn't move the same way she couldn't move, as though they had been stuck together in time. Aria wasn't going to ask him again what he said, it was simply impossible, and if he was to deny his words then it was going to be embarrassing for Aria. it was going to feel as though she let out a hidden desire she had never allowed herself to have. "Marry me." Prince Zane said again, more firmly this time. he moves closer to Aria. All she could do was watch him with eyes that were full of disbelief.'I am not dreaming.' Aria thought to herself. Prince Zane's proposal was real. there was no doubt about what she heard from hi
Aria "congratulations lady Aria, our next queen of Esterial," Brunhilda said with a wide smile. Aria stops reading her book and looks at Lady Brunhilda like a deer that had been caught in a headlight. "How... how did you know." Aria was surprised that she knew of Prince Zane's proposal. She hadn't told anyone yet. not even Erika. "I thought we both agreed that we were going to talk to her about it after your lesson was over," Erika said to Lady Brunhilda. lady Brunhilda had a disagreeing look on her face. "I can't wait till then, besides, don't pretend as if you are not dying to know how Prince Zane's propose as much as I am." 'Erika knows too.' Aria was surprised, it had only been a day since she had agreed to marry Prince Zane. "tell us lady Aria," Erika asked, excitement lacing in her voice. She had always been sure that they were going to marry one day and now her wish was coming true, "How did Prince Zane propose to you, did he buy you flowers." "Where did he propose to
Aria "My lady, where have you been?" Erika asked with a heavy breath, she had been running around the palace searching for Aria. "tomorrow is your wedding, you haven't even tried out your dress yet. Prince Zane is rushing us for the arrangements for tomorrow, there's no time to delay lady Aria." Erika said, sounding frustrated. "the wedding is not going to take place tomorrow morning.""What?!" Erika asks in shock, a horrific look on her face."calm down." Aria said, walking with Erika back to the room to try her wedding gown. "the wedding is happening tomorrow just not in the morning, it's going to happen late at night in the garden. I know it's too late to ask for a change but Prince Zane said that it is okay." Erika had a relaxed look on her face, then, her expression changed. "why do you want your wedding to take place at night?" She asks. "no special reason," Aria lied, "I want things to be different from normal." the look Erika gave to Aria, shows that she still couldn't un
Aria "No! no, no, no, no." an elder shouted. he got up from his seat so fast that his seat fell over. the elders were sitting close to King Kaida.Aria tried to look at King Kaida's expression but his face was turned away from her and Prince Zane. as though he couldn't bear to look. "This can't be happening." another elder said.they were coming closer to Aria and Prince Zane. Aria could feel their blood lust, and they weren't the only ones who had the desire to kill her. other vampires in the garden wanted her dead too."this marriage isn't valid Prince Zane!" elder Svend shouted. he was furious, he stood with other elders, who were as angry as he was. Prince Zane quickly seized the marriage documents that had been signed on with their blood. he pushed Aria behind him, Aidan and Nadia appearing by his side with speed Aria's eyes couldn't catch, even though she got her werewolf abilities back. "our vows have been sealed by blood. like it or not but I'm married to Aria, she is the
Aria Aria walks back to her room with Erika by her side. even though she dismissed Erika for the day, Erika wouldn't leave until she knew that Aria was safely back in the room. As they both walk down the halls Aria tries to ignore the pairs of eyes that follow her footsteps.everyone in the palace was watching her, they didn't look at her the same way they always have. there was hatred, fear, anger, and distrust in their eyes. most human maids avoided her as though she was going to kill them because she was a werewolf. but Genevieve who catches Aria's eyes gave her a sad reassuring smile.Aria wondered if Genevieve trusted her because Erika did. the maids with Genevieve weren't friendly, they ignored Aria and pretended as though she wasn't there."I will take my leave now, lady Aria." Erika bow. "Hmmm." Aria nodded her head. "don't be worried lady Aria, not everyone in the palace disapproves of you. those maids that disrespected you in the hall, don't worry about them, I will put t
Aria Aria watches Prince Zane chatting with Aidan through the mirror. Erika brought a mirror to the room in the morning. Aria was happy that she could finally see her reflection, but as she looked at herself, her eyes kept moving to Prince Zane.Prince Zane came back to the room later at night, Aria wasn't asleep when he came back but she pretended like she was asleep. "I'm done my lady," Erika said. she was done styling Aria's hair. "thank you, Erika," Aria said absent-mindedly, her eyes still on Prince Zane. She didn't understand him. he had left the room for a while in the morning, then he came back again after Erika had helped her dress up. Prince Zane waves Aidan away with his hand. Aidan bowed and walked to Erika, whispering something into her ear. Erika bowed to Prince Zane and left the room, leaving Aria alone with Prince Zane.'he wants to talk?' Aria thought. She blushed as she thought about what happened between the both of them last night. perhaps maybe he wants to t
Aria Aria felt greedy for more as she thought of what Prince Zane had told her, she wasn't satisfied with where Prince Zane had placed her in his life, Aria wanted more than just the title of being his wife. She went from the title of being his fiance to his wife. Aria wanted more, she wanted a place in his heart. She wanted him to see her as someone who was more his friend, Aria wanted Prince Zane to feel the same way she did for him. "Are you even listening to me?" Prince Zane asks exasperated. Aria turned her attention to him and realized that once again she had gotten lost in her thoughts about him."I'm sorry Zane," Aria easily gave out an apology in the hope that it would make Prince Zane feel better. it felt strange calling him only by his name, it made Aria happy. If Prince Zane had agreed to her runaway plan, he would have gotten married to another woman, told her to only call him by his name, and maybe even kissed her the same way. Aria hated the dark thought that was c
Aria "can't you even try to make her like you?" Aria said, she wanted her wolf to like Prince Zane the way she did, but if Prince Zane continued like this, her wolf was going to hate him forever. "let's get back to things about alpha Bryant." Prince Zane turned away from Aria.they had diverted so much from their main conversation that she forgot that they were talking about alpha Bryant."if you want to release him, you don't need my permission for that." anything that had to do with Alpha Bryant instantly put Prince Zane in a bad mood. "I don't need your permission, I only want you to be aware that you might see him soon, I want you to be emotionally prepared for what is about to happen." Aria knew what Prince Zane meant. the moment Alpha Bryant is released, he is going to run his mouth about everything he knows about her. because of her marriage to Prince Zane, people already know that she is a werewolf, but with Alpha Bryant, they will know that she committed a crime by killin
