CHAPTER ONE

ARIA’S POV

  My renewal dress was too plain and white, the initial colour I wanted was pink but Klaus picked white for me.

 “The Alpha picked a dress that suits you, your Majesty,” My seamstress said, smiling at me.

  I scoffed at the sound of that, they always found a way to give praise to Klaus, the husband that I was forced to marry after my parents and sister died.

“It’s not my taste,” I hissed, and the seamstress shrugged her shoulders, as she continued sewing the dress on my body.

 I stared at the way the maid sewed my dress, it was the same way my late sister would, the event of that day was fresh in my memory like it happened yesterday.

  My parents and sister were murdered in my presence, as I hid behind a tree, unable to utter a word.

  Immediately after the death of my family, my stepmother, Daciana, forced me into marrying Klaus, the most ruthless Alpha in the pack.

  Klaus is unstoppable, the only person he bends to is the Lycan king, and all the other packs feared him, Blackwood is the most powerful pack in our world and the closest to the Throne of the Lycan king.

  “Ouch, careful,” I grimaced as the seamstress pricked my skin with the needle, distracting me from the thought of Klaus and my late family.

  “I’m sorry, your Majesty,” She said, as she hurried to a first aid box to wipe my wound.

  We were almost done with making the dress when I heard a knock at my door.

“Come in, the door is opened,” I invited the person in, without knowing who it was.

  A guard entered my room and walked up to me.

“His Majesty, wants to see you before your renewal tomorrow, and he made it clear that you should come before noon,” The guard said.

  Klaus and I are doing our renewal celebration tomorrow, we have been married for three years. And renewal is done every three years in my pack. This is our first renewal and Klaus wants to make it the talk of the pack.

“That’s not a problem, you can leave us now,” I said to the guard and he left.

  The seamstress continued to sew my dress, but at a faster rate that would enable her to make some mistakes.

“Calm down miss, it’s not yet noon,” I chuckled.

“If I don’t sew faster, I won’t be done before noon, and his majesty would be angry,” She said, still sewing fast.

“I command you to sew at a slower speed because if you prick my skin with that needle again, you will be thrown into the dungeon,” I said and immediately she reduced her speed.

  “That was harsh, Aria,” Moxilla said, hissing at me.

  Mozilla is my wolf, and she always puts me out anytime I do something she doesn'tlike. Sometimes I have the urge to throw her out, but she is inside me already.

 I ignored Moxilla and continued to look at my seamstress sew my dress.

  It was already noon and she wasn’t done yet.

“You know how Klaus can get, if you go there late, he will give you a punishment, and forget the fact that you are his wife,” Moxilla groaned at me, and she was right.

  As I was about to ask my seamstress how long the remaining sewing would take, Tasha pushed my door open and entered, smiling like she had never seen me before.

  “Hiiii sister,” I yelled, giving Tasha a tight hug.

  Tasha is my step-sister but is more like a best friend to me, the only person that stood by my side when my family died and she always backs me up when Klaus loses control and wants to punish me.

“Have you gone to meet Klaus? It's already noon and you need to meet him before noon,” She asked and I was about to tell her I hadn't met with Klaus when Moxilla asked;

“How the hell did she know that Klaus sent for you?” 

  And I kept quiet, wondering how Tasha knew in detail that I was supposed to meet Klaus.

“I am still waiting for a reply,” Tasha scoffed, and I looked at her, contemplating whether I should ask her how she knew I was supposed to see Klaus.

  “Yes…yes, I just met with him,” I lied, I didn't know why I lied.

  “Okay, I will tell Mother to get your makeup ready for tomorrow,” She said, leaving my room.

  Soon the seamstress were done sewing my dress.

   I went to the mirror to look at it, and it was beautiful even if I didn't like the color.

  “It's beautiful, you can leave me now,” I said to her and immediately she left my room.

  “You lied Aria,” Moxilla yelled, and I rolled my eyes.

  

“I know I lied, don't rub it all over my face, I didn't know what to do,” I said and Moxilla scoffed.

“What about Klaus? I think you need to see him, so he doesn't do something stupid, at your renewal tomorrow, you know how crazy he can get,” Moxilla said, and I heaved a sigh.

  She was right about that, I need to meet with Klaus even if it's late.

  I put on my nightdress quickly and hurried to his chambers, he would be angry that I came in late, it's better late than never anyway.

  Getting to his chambers, All his guards were nowhere to be found. Which was strange.

“Don't tell me Klaus picked some lazy ass men to be his guards,” Moxilla commented because she was as perplexed as I was.

“Moxilla, Klaus would never pick some lazy ass to be his guard, something is off,” 

   I looked around again, before going into the chambers.

   I stood still when I started hearing moans from Klaus’s room.

  Klaus might be ruthless and has a disgusting attitude but he would never cheat on me.

   With doubt, I went to his room, which was opened slightly and I peeped through.

  My mouth fell open when I saw Tasha and Klaus in bed, having sex.
