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
Aria 'it is almost time.' Aria thought as she walked with Erika to the courtyard. Aria had managed to convince Erika to take a walk with her even though Erika had insisted that she had other duties to do.Aria was nervous about what she was about to tell Erika. She had expected Erika to be the first to bring up the pending issue between them. but Erika had been quiet about it, too quiet. now that Aria is married to Prince Zane, Erika will have to go. Aria wasn't going to stop her or manipulate her to stay anymore. "my lady, you are going the wrong way, that's not the way to the courtyard," Erika said as she pulled Aria in the other direction.an embarrassing smile came to Aria's face as she allowed Erika to lead her. "why won't you believe me!" Aria and Erika stop at the sound of Alpha Bryant's voice. they both couldn't move as they watched him from afar, desperately chasing after elder Svend. Lillian was close behind him, looking lost like she didn't know what to do. "you have
Aria "you!" alpha Bryant said with rage as his eyes caught Aria. "you damn witch, after locking me up, you have the gut to show yourself in front of me?" he walks towards her with fast steps, werewolf claws already coming out of his hands. "my lady." Erika called out with a scared voice, "Let's run." Aria gave a little smile to Erika, she knew that Erika still thought of her as human. Erika had seen her as a weak human for too long, forgetting who she truly was. "don't worry I'm okay," Aria said to Erika and pulled Erika behind her. her werewolf powers may be back but Aria wasn't arrogant enough to think that she could defeat Alpha Bryant with the way she currently was. her werewolf had been locked inside of her for a long time, alpha Bryant had been training to improve himself in preparation for this day. even though Aria told Erika that she was going to be fine, an anxious part of her could feel that she was in danger. elder Svend stood still and gave Aria a cruel smile, he w
Aria "When are you leaving?" Aria asked. she didn't want Erika to say another word about Nadia. Aria's words were so fast and so blunt that she regretted speaking without thinking. this wasn't how she had wanted to talk to Erika about her departure. "What?" Erika asks confused. Aria let out a soft breath. her feet walk slowly heading towards the courtyard, the courtyard was meant to be the perfect place for what she wanted to say to Erika, but now the words were out too soon."remembered the deal you made with beta Brian," Aria said, looking at Erika from the side of her eyes. Erika was so indifferent about her words that Aria almost thought that she had forgotten about it. but there was recognition in her eyes. "I'm married to Prince Zane just as you wanted. there's no need for you to stay by my side, you are free to go to him." Aria stops and strongly gazes at Erika. let her know that it was okay for her to leave. "if I knew this was why you wanted to go to the courtyard, I woul
Aria Aria held her breath as she stepped into Prince Zane's office. He had called for her because of Alpha Bryant's request. although while Aidan delivered Prince Zane's messages, he told her that she could reject Alpha Bryant's request if she wanted. Aria would have taken up the offer to reject Alpha Bryant's request if only she wasn't curious about what Alpha Bryant was planning to do this time. he won't give up, why was he even still in Esterial? "my lady," Aidan and Nadia bow in respect to Aria. Aria's eyes went to everyone in the room, alpha Bryant was with Lillian, and they sat down together. while Prince Zane sat alone, one of his arms resting on the top side of his chair. Aria walked over and sat down close to Prince Zane. Prince Zane brought down his arm protectively around Aria's shoulders. 'this idiot won't try to attack me in front of Prince Zane is he?' Aria thought as she narrowed her eyes at Alpha Bryant, who was glaring at her. "you wanted to see her, here she
