Aria pov"Common babe, say something." Alpha Bryant said to JennyShe couldn't speak, I could see the confusion, anger and fear in her eyes. I was giving her exactly what she wanted, but she didn't know why, Jenny didn't think that it was going to be so easy, and she was right about it. I would leave the pack, but it wasn't going to be so easy."I... I.." Jenny stutter, "I forgive you." At that very moment I felt so much like laughing, but I had to hold it in, pretend like as if i was still sad as I wipe off my fake tears. From the corner of my eye I could see that Brian and Kaiser knew that something was wrong. I bet all Kaiser thought I was going to do was to just walk up to alpha Bryant and his sister, announcing to everyone that I wanted to leave. Of course life wasn't going to be that simple, I was personally going to made sure that it wasn't for Bryant mate."Alpha Bryant, what about you?" I turned my eyes to him. "Please forgive me, I don't want to lose our friendship for anyth
Aria povIt took some time for me to check around the forest, inorder to see if anyone was snooping around, didn't want anyone to see this or stop me. Alpha Bryant couldn't even do anything to me after this, he would be too weak to take action, any form of serious action that he would take against me could lead to war. If he was smart enough he wouldn't lead his people to war all because of his personal feelings, it would be very stupid of him to do that. Not like he wasn't already an idiot but surely even he can't be that foolish. I brought out my phone and made a short phone call to alpha Bryant, assuring him that I was safe, very soon I would be coming back to the pack."Find me at the training ground when you get back, I'm going there to train some newbies." "Okay Bryant." I ended the phone call, smiling wickedly to myself.The phone call was just to make sure that alpha Bryant was still with his phone, if he wasn't then I was going to look for another way to contact him so that
Aria povThe moment I came back to the pack, I rush into my room to clean myself up and I hide the clothes I was wearing, later tonight, I was going to burn it.I was going to see alpha Bryant, if I had made the mistake of not bathing he would easily suspect me by catching his mate scent that was all over me. Alpha Bryant wasn't feeling fine, according to what I heard around the pack, he went out to go and train some newbies when he all of sudden started acting weird like he was in a lot of pains no one knew what was wrong with him but they brought him back to his room and after ten minutes he wasn't screaming anymore, he just laid down with dead eyes, crying. Everyone inside the pack house was trying their best to keep what had happened to alpha Bryant a secret from those aside."Are you okay?" I ask Bryant who was crying silently to himself, no one had the gut to come into his room after they saw that he started crying out of nowhere. But I wasn't anyone, after knocking a few times
Aria pov"Where is it?" I asked myself, annoyed. I look under alpha Bryant bed, it wasn't there. I have carefully checked all of Jenny things but I still couldn't find it. I wonder were she might have hid it, I can't let anyone find it before I do, if they do everything will be over for me.After checking every corners of alpha Bryant room, I arrange everything and place them back in the same arrangements I met them in. The last thing I wanted was alpha Bryant to start questioning me about who went to his room, when the only possibility of someone going there was me. Both of our rooms were close to each other. I already tried to secretly question alpha Bryant about the text I sent to him the same day I killed his mate but he doesn't know anything about the text, he haven't seen it, along with his phone. His phone and his mate disappear the same day. The last thing he did before his phone was gone was to answer my call."Okay let's start with the meeting now." He was waiting for me?
Aria povThe search for Jenny was a waste of time, as I expected it would be, don't know about how the others felt about the search but Jenny wasn't found. I used the search to show alpha Bryant how much it matters to me that he found his mate. The search ended late at night, alpha Bryant was quiet when it ended. No one asked him if there was going be another search again tomorrow, it was obvious to everyone by now that Jenny could never be found. All that was left was for their alpha to accept it, people tend to easily believe in lies mostly when they desperately want it to be true, letting go was hard. The questions everyone had in their heart now was, would alpha Bryant let go and accept the truth that Jenny was dead. I knew that was the question because I overheard most of the search team talking about the possibility of Jenny being dead and how all this was a waste of time. I would have liked to walk up to them at that moment and tell them that they were right, sadly I have bee
Aria povAwkwardness was the least word I could use to describe the relationship between me and alpha Bryant. He had been avoiding me all morning because of what had happened between us last night. There was no need for him to make such a big deal out of it. This wasn't the first time we have kiss, we have even done more than that before but alpha Bryant was now acting like a child. Maybe he was feeling guilty about betraying his mate since it haven't even up been to a month and he was letting me flirt around with him. Heck has it even been a week?I found the bastard, he was with beta Brian. His eyes saw me from across the training ground but he shifted around his feet, pretending like I wasn't there. I rolled my eyes, Was he really expecting me to go away like that?Ohh you have got to be kidding me. Confidently I went over to him and beta Brian."Please excuses us Brian. Just give me ten minutes, I will get back to you." Brian frown, he looks like he wanted to complain, but he wal
Aria povBefore I left the pack, I had check for Bryant whereabouts. He was in his office downstairs. So I thought everything was safe, but Bryant was standing in front of me with wide eyes and dilated pupils. I couldn't tell if it was because he was shock or angry. I rather it be non of them. Among all people in the world to have caught me why does it have to be alpha Bryant, it could have been Brian. Atleast maybe he would have understand why I did it, he knew how I truly felt about the way everyone treated me."Aria please tell me that this is a misunderstanding, it isn't what I think it is." He said.I remained quiet with shovel in my hands. Even if I wanted to act, there was no way Bryant wouldn't see through me, no way out of this now. He wasn't going to deny the truth in front of him. It was a clear naked rotten truth, mostly because his dead mate was naked. I didn't cloth her, to me she was no different from an animal."You found your phone?" I asked with a weak voice, shame o
Aria povAlpha Bryant body wasn't going to remain paralyzed for long. Very soon he would heal up, things was going to be worst if his pack members found me before he heal up. There was no way alpha Bryant didn't call for backup. I had a gut feeling that he did, I saw the determination he had to bring me down when I told him the reason he lost to me. My eyes skim through my surroundings, I felt like I was slowly loosing my mind. I was anxious, I couldn't calm myself down. The thought that I could die now at any moment kept ringing in my head. My wolf was as scared as I'm, she told me that I was foolish to have let myself get caught.As much as I hated to admit it, she was right. If only I had been more careful, make better excuses that were good enough to keep Bryant out of my room, stop him from searching for me. Non of this would have happened."Damn it." I said, fustrated. I didn't know were to go. The day I searched the dark forest, I had only look for a good place to get rid of
Aria "I'm sorry my Queen."the young lady whose name is Clover bowed down in front of Aria. She was one of the new batch of humans who had agreed to come to Esterial. Aria had chosen to show them around the town. she loved going outside the palace, Aria now knew every place in Esterial kingdom. the human Clover, her head was still down. she was afraid, the other humans with her, looked as though they were equally afraid."It's okay. it's just a little stain." Aria said kindly as she encouraged Clover to raise her head.Clover had clumsily stained Aria's dress with the snack that was given to her. Aria brought food for them when she noticed that they were hungry. although they were afraid of her, Aria knew that they were going to adjust to a different lifestyle in Esterial, and they would soon realize that they were safe. "Please forgive me, my Queen," Clover begged again."don't worry, my current maid is not the type who loves to scold me for everything I do." Aria tried to clean
Aria "Dad there's not much things to pack," Axel said to his father.Aria had thought that she would be relieved when her father and her brother returned to the pack, but she didn't feel relieved. her chest tightened with unknown pain. a little voice in her head said, 'Everyone is leaving you. no one is going to stay, you are all alone.' Zane's hand brushed against hers, driving away her fears, taking away her pain, and helping her to feel light. he won't hold her in front of her father. Zane usually likes to do whatever he likes without caring, but he is careful with his actions in front of alpha Draven. "why won't you let me escort you out?" Aria argues with her father in his room. We heard that your last escort ended in tears, I can't let myself cry in the palace in front of all the girls who are always watching me," Axel said. it annoys Aria that she couldn't tell Axel that no one cared about him because he was right. somehow, he had managed to get himself a lot of admirers du
Aria Aria tried to hide the tears in her eyes as she gazed at Erika and Brian. Erika was already crying, and seeing her tears made it difficult for Aria to stop herself from crying. "you two ladies are making me feel bad." Brian said, "Maybe we should stay in Esterial." he said to Erika. "no. it's okay if you both don't stay here, staying here means you have to quit your job as Bryant Beta, and let's be honest, Bryant would be lost without you by his side." Aria said in between tears. Brian chuckles softly. "Besides, living here isn't a good idea. there are a lot of politics that can turn into a headache. I'm sure you don't want that." Aria wipes the tears on her face. she was in front of the palace gate. she had only wanted to follow them out a little. but now she couldn't stop crying. "Queen Aria." Erika left Brian's side and hugged Aria. "I'm going to miss you." "I'm going to miss you too," Aria murmured into Erika's shoulder. "thank you for everything, Brian." Aria removes
Aria "My Queen, I was sent to tell you that you have a visitor. General Radford isn't sure if Alpha Bryant is allowed into the palace or not." Genevieve said, her head bowed. "is Brian here too?" Erika ask. eager to know if her mate was in the kingdom. she removed her hands from Aria's hair even though she hadn't finished braiding. "Beta Brian is with alpha Bryant, along with Lady Lillian." without a word, Aria hurried off to them. She didn't need Genevieve to relay a message to people she wanted to see. "You still haven't informed your guards that we aren't enemies anymore. I don't want anybody threatening me anytime I come here." alpha Bryant nagged Aria. Aria rolled her eyes. "I have told them, but they are vampires, you can't expect them to start trusting our kind just because I say so." "but they trust you," Bryant stated. Aria could see that he still couldn't understand the difference between them. She was Zane's wife. of course, they trust her. after Aria free alpha Bry
Aria Aria looked at Zane's schedule, she collected it from Aidan. even though she was no longer doing any of Zane's duties she wanted to help him. there was not much for her to do as a Queen.Aria squirted her eyes at the paper she was holding. "Erika." she called. "did Zan_ I mean did the King leave the palace today?" Erika put down the tea she was having with Lady Brunhilda. "I believe King Zane had been in the palace all day." "What is the point of coming to my chamber to see me if all you are going to do is think about your husband." Lady Brunhilda mumbled audibly for Aria to hear. Aria examined Zane's schedule again. "he's doing it again." she said to herself. she got up from her chair and headed straight to the throne room. Erika wanted to follow her but Lady Brunhilda stopped Erika. She raised a tea cup in front of Erika. "we are not yet done with our tea." "everyone please excuse us." Aria tried being polite so that she could hide the anger in her tone. all the official
Aria The dungeon was just as Aria remembers. Zane was back to his duties as king. not many people in the palace have seen him yet. Aria suspected that he didn't want them to. but he couldn't hide forever. those who have seen him were shocked, some were scared. Aria had almost fired a servant who was terrified of Zane's looks but Zane stopped her."Are you sure that you don't need General Radford's help with interrogating them?" Aria asks Zane. Elder Orvyn had gained back his consciousness. but Svend was still passed out. elder Orvyn screamed in fear when he saw his colleague's swollen face. 'this could be you.' Aria thought as she watched Elder Orvyn distancing himself from his friend who hit him. She wonders if he appreciates the fact that he was passed out while Zane beat Svend up. "This is something I want to personally handle," Zane said. he hasn't been able to get any words out of Elder Orvyn."you can't keep me locked up in here." Elder Orvyn said!Aria raised a questioning
Aria the wind blew with a heavy rush around Aria's ear. her eyes were closed as she held on, tightly to Zane. She could feel herself going up, higher and higher. made her wonder how far Zane could Jump. they were supposed to be coming down by now but his feet hadn't touched the floor yet. in curiosity, Aria opened her eyes and gasped out loud at Zane's dragon wings. "you can fly?" she asked amazed. "yeah," Zane replied in a low voice. he sounded as though, his being able to fly was a crime, an abomination. Aria was barely able to catch his words, it almost escaped her. A few minutes ago, he was able to face her, now he was hiding his face from her again. his fears were coming back. Aria knew that it was because of his dragon scales wings, 'I have to do something,'"this. is. amazing!" Aria screams out loud in a voice full of excitement. her random outburst caught Zane off guard. he was confused. "I can't believe I'm flying. I can't believe you can fly," she said excitedly, as thou
Aria Elder Svend comes out of hiding with a sly grin on his face. Aria and Zane both watch him as he claps his hands together as though he just came out of an amazing movie theater. He was being annoying. "That was so sweet. the two of you know how to put on a great show." he continued clapping and pretended as though he was wiping a tear off his face because of how touched he was. "what are you doing?" Elder Orvyn asks, Svend. he came out of hiding with an angry look on his face. "can't you see what I'm doing?" elder Svend asks, "I'm clapping, it been over a hundred years since I last saw an entertaining love tale like theirs, so full of sickening emotions, I'm too old to feel anything like that," he said in irritation. "This wasn't the plan." Elder Orvyn's fearful eyes looked over to Zane before he turned his fears away. "you are ruining the plan." "of course, the plan." Elder Svend said in a voice that sounded like he didn't care about whatever plans they had made. "the plan
Aria 'he's afraid.' Aria thought. after listening to Zane, she understood the fears she saw in his eyes. the fear of being accepted as though all his life he had lived like an outcast even though he was King Kaida's son. something like that wasn't going to disappear in one day just because she told him that she loved him. even if Zane could hear the truth in her words, he would prefer to isolate himself and believe in what he had always believed all his life. it was his way of safeguarding his heart. his way of living. 'I need to bring him out of it.' Aria thought sadly. if she left him like this, he wasn't going to change. he won't want to change. Aria thought that Zane was no different from a blind man if he continued like this. he got his sight back but he still wanted to remain in darkness. his darkness. something he had unconsciously created for himself without knowing. 'I need to be gentle, let him know that he can trust me instead of assuming that he was going to trust me.'
