Aria povWhat am I going to do? If what those maids were saying about alpha Bryant and beta Brian coming into the palace were true then I'm in trouble. My body twisted and turned around the bed. A frown was on my face as I thought to myself. Sleeping had been easy for me before Alpha Bryant came here. I had slept on the floor and found it comfortable but now I can't sleep because of all the possibilities that were running through my head. The door to the room opened. Immediately I closed my eyes without thinking, I have been so lost in thought that I didn't hear any footsteps.The light in the room was dim as I opened my eyes a little and saw only Prince Zane. He wasn't with his two guard dogs. I secretly watch him as he silently went into the bathroom. I didn't even understand what I was doing. Why was I pretending as though I was sleeping when I was awake, it wasn't as though I had done anything wrong to make me afraid of Prince Zane. "I know you are awake lady Aria. So drop the
Aria pov"My lady. Wake up, my lady." I groan as I grudgingly opened my eyes to look at Erika. She was smiling brightly at me. What was that smile all about? The little happiness I was starting to have in Esterial would be gone very soon."Why are you all smiley," I asked Erika. It was kind of irritating that she was happy while I'm not."I'm just happy that you slept well, my lady." There was a tease in her voice.My face turn into a frown as I tried to understand what she was talking about. I was laying down on the bed. But that was nothing new. Prince Zane must have probably moved me to the b... Wait a minute. The bed, I never left the bed last night, and my body didn't feel sore so that must mean that my beloved fiance didn't ruthlessly push me to the floor. "Why are you so quiet my lady, are you thinking about Prince Zane?" Why the heck would I be thinking about him?"Missing him already even though you two spend the whole night cuddling together in each other arms."That can'
Aria povErika is gone. I never knew that she was going to believe that I was sick. My fake sickness that popped out of nowhere even though I was feeling fine minutes ago wasn't convincing. But still, Erika offered to help by going to welcome alpha Bryant and beta Brian in my stands. I didn't understand her reasons for helping me, whatever it was, I was grateful for the help she could offer.Laying down on the bed all day wasn't going to help me get out of the current situation at hand. Prince Zane is the reason for all this mess. Why was he so interested in knowing things about me? Why couldn't he just stick his nose in his royal affairs and left it there? It was bad that Alpha Bryant and Brian were in Esterial, things have become worst now that they were going to live in the palace.I got out the bed and changed out of the gown Erika had forced me to wear so that I could impress Prince Zane's guest, the gown was heavy and uncomfortable, too fancy, too shiny, and I can't move around
Aria pov After Prince Zane weird questions, he hasn't asked me anything else, instead, he insisted that I go back to the room. He didn't even tell me if he was still going to make me see Alpha Bryant or not. I was only told to go back to the room like that was going to kill the anxiety that I was already feeling. "Lady Aria, why are you still here?" Prince Zane asks.I have been standing close to the door for a long time as though my feet were glued to the ground. But it wasn't my fault, everything was Prince Zane's fault for letting alpha Bryant and beta Brian into the palace. "Can you please give me back the shirt you took from me?" If I didn't know where Alpha Bryant and Beta Brian's room was, it was best I had something to cover my face so that I could avoid any unwanted incident."You mean my shirt?" Prince Zane rose a questioning eyebrow at me. A little smile played on his lips as though he was enjoying everything that was happening to me."It doesn't matter whose shirt it i
Aria pov"I'm the crown prince of Esterial. Never before have I lowered myself in such a low manner as this one. Why did you drag me in here you barbaric woman? Do I look like a personal doll you can just easily move around whenever you feel like it?" I must be out of my mind for finding Prince Zane's little tantrum cute right now. He looks like a little child complaining about a new shirt his mother bought for him. I couldn't stop the little smile that crept up my face as I listen to him. Somehow his being here with me was making me feel less afraid, a calm feeling was settling in deep inside of me. "I'm sorry." I said, "I shouldn't have dragged you in here, it was wrong of me." The apology came out of me so easily that even Prince Zane found it unusual. He looks taken aback like he never expected me to admit that what I did was wrong so soon. He wasn't the only one who was surprised by my sudden apologies. I was surprised too, myself. Am I getting comfortable with the man squatti
Aria pov"Lady Aria!" Erika violently shakes me on the bed, forcing me to wake up. "You have to wake up it's an urgent matter." I sat down on my bed, sleep still heavy in my eyes, "What is happening Er... Erika." I said with a loud yawn.From the dim light, I could see outside the window, it was still very early in the morning, what could have happened to make Erika wake me up by this time? She had never done something like this before. "Is something wrong Erika?" I asked, my voice sounding tired. Whatever this was, I hope it end soon, cause I need to go back to sleep. To think I had the mind to sleep when Alpha Bryant was in the palace, I never knew that it was possible until I actually did it. As long as the door is locked it should be okay. But because Erika was able to get into the room so early in the morning, that must mean that I didn't lock the door. I softly hit my head with my hand as I thought, this is the kind of stupidity that get one killed."Yes, my lady." Erika's
Aria povIt had been how many days now and alpha Bryant and beta Brian wasn't leaving. I wondered what was taking them so long to leave the kingdom. Luckily for me, I have been able to avoid any contact with them. I never knew it was possible but with Prince Zane's help, it was."My lady, what are you thinking about? Your tea is getting cold." Erika said. These days I have been full of fear of what could come my way, Erika had been looking brighter lately, as though she was more alive than before when beta Brian wasn't with her. I had always wanted the chance to tease Brian whenever he finally get himself a girlfriend, but the moment I became a fugitive, changes everything. "I told you I don't want to drink tea, Erika." I gaze outside the little balcony in the flower garden inside the palace. I had never been fully free in Esterial, but still, I had more freedom to make me forget that I was just a werewolf under King Kaida's command. Because Brian and Alpha Bryant were still in the
Aria povAidan and Nadia tried to stop me but I force my way into King Kaida's office, leaving Erika to keep them busy. "Lady Aria?" Prince Zane asks. He was sitting down on King Kaida's desk, he must have been waiting for me to come in after hearing the unpleasant noises I was making outside, as always Prince Zane was a sharp man. "If you are here because you are still obsessively looking for my father, as you can see the room is empty." Was he ever going to tell me where his father is?"I'm not here because of King Kaida, I came in here because of you." Okay, that sounded like I have been missing him, not how I wanted it to sound. I walked closer to him and took a chair that was close to his side. Erika was still making noise outside by trying to convince Aidan and Nadia to let her in with me. Erika and I already knew that they weren't going to let her in but still, the plan was to keep Aidan and Nadia busy until I was done talking to Prince Zane. "After you are done settling
