CHAPTER SIX

ARIA’S POV

I walked towards them, gently, and they all looked at me like I was thrash.

It was then, it occurred to me that I was wearing, torn and blood-stained dress, with my hair tattered and looking unkempt.

“This is my wife, Aria,” Ryan yelled, and everywhere was silent, they didn’t bother to show me some respect.

I looked to the ground in shame and Ryan raised my head and whispered into my ears.

“Speak”

His order sent shivers down my spine and I gulped hard.

I looked up at Ryan and he gave me a deadly stare, like if I didn’t speak up, he would take me back to Klaus.

“I…I…”

“It’s only a weakling that stutters, it’s weird enough that we get a helpless Beta for a Luna, the least you can’t do is speak the fuck up,” Ryan yelled, and everyone gasped.

I looked at him, with tears threatening to fall from my eyes, he didn’t return my stare, rather his face became more stern.

Everyone was still waiting for me to speak, but I was still in shock that the bastard who saved my ass just made me look weak in front of people who are supposed to respect me.

“I am Aria, Aria Newtown,” I yelled, even if my voice was shaking, I wanted to prove Ryan wrong, I might have lost my wolf, but I am not a weakling.

“I was supposed to be executed for adultery but it seems like the Lycan king, wanted a whore for a wife, so he saved me,” I continued and he groaned loudly, holding my wrist tightly.

He thought he would disgrace me, without being shamed too.

“I cheated on my husband with a mere palace…”

“STOP,” Ryan's voice came as a warning, mixed with threats.

I might have triggered him but I didn’t feel bothered, he started it.

“You are petty as fuck, don’t get on my nerves,” he whispered into my ears and I chuckled at his ridiculousness.

“I didn’t know getting on your nerves was that simple, My lord,” I mocked as a hiss escaped my lips.

“Hi honey, I am Olivia, your maid, allow me to take you to the health center and get your injuries patched,” An elderly woman said, taking me by my arms and I followed her with a smile.

“Thank you, Oliver,” I said, giving Ryan a stare before my exit.

Soon we were at the health center, and I was placed on a chair, it was a royal chair and I chuckled at the fact that they had a royal chair in the health center.

“He must really loves you, to pick you up and forget all your flaws,” Olivia said, cleaning my wound gently, although it was hurting me, I still chuckled at her thinking.

How would I tell her that Ryan doesn’t love me, or even give a shit about me, he just wants me to find his father’s killer in sixty days.

“I bet he does,” I said, sarcastically, rolling my eyes at the ceiling.

Soon we were done cleaning my injury.

I got up to leave only to see Ryan coming inside the Health center, it felt like he couldn’t do without me, although that’s something insane to think.

“Thank you, Oliver,” he said, and turned to me,

“Let me take you to our chamber,”

I turned to look at him in shock, what does he mean by “Our Chamber”? I can’t stay in the same room with him, he is a freaking pain in the ass, and it wouldn’t go well.

“What do you mean by our chamber?” I asked as we entered the carriage, and no one could hear us.

“I mean where we would sleep, except you prefer to sleep on the street, which I wouldn’t mind,” he restricted and turned to look outside the window as the rider rode the carriage.

“I prefer to sleep in the street than share a room with you,” I yelled and he scoffed.

“Look here, I do not like you, and if you are worried I would touch you, then think again, I hate cheats,” he spat out, looking at me and there were no emotions on his face as he spoke.

I wondered who broke this man, and hell I can’t fix him, I’m here for business.

“Why can’t we just get different rooms, if you hate me that much,” I retorted, giving him a deadly stare.

“I want people to believe we are in a happy marriage, so you will have to pretend we are happy, sleeping in separate rooms would make them suspect,” his reply was rather cooler than I expected.

The carriage came to a halt, and the guards opened the door for us.

Ryan gave me a hand, after stepping out of the carriage.

The urge to push his hands away and step out myself was building up every second I stared at his hands.

I looked around and the guards were watching, giving me not much of a choice, I took his hands and got out of the carriage.

We got into the bedroom and it was way bigger than Klaus’s bedroom, it was a real king-sized room, that’s why he is the Lycan king.

“I saw the way you looked at the guard, don’t you dare,” His voice sounded threatening and I turned to look at him in anger.

“I’m not a whore and if you call me that again…”

“What’s going to happen?” He interrupted me rudely.

“You will see,” I simply said, not finding any other words to say.

“The palace is not a safe place, you need to be careful because they might use your weakness against you,” he said, pulling off his shoes.

What was he talking about, where is safer than a palace with guards?

It was then my brain clicked.

“You think the killer is in the palace,” I said, as the thought came to my head.

“You are smart, that I can say,” he complimented as he entered the bathroom.

What is smart about being helpless in a palace that has a freaking killer.

This feels like a death sentence.
