ADRIANFuck it i was horny. So horny I couldn't sleep. I sighed out and positioned myself in the center of my bed, my back against the comfortable covers and stared down at my angry cock, shoiting upwards, against my muscular stomach. I always take pride in sleeping naked but today, the cold against my bare skin did nothing but arouse me more.It was still very much in the middle of the night and i wasn't Aria's best person right now but i still needed her softness for my relief. I groaned as my cock jerked, shiny white liquid leaking out of the tip at just the mere thought of her. I would have to get my relief myself then, seeing as my mate wasn't in my bed nor arms. It was as though Aria disconnected herself from me these past few days. How could I explain to her that everything was for her? How could I tell her Veronica had poisoned her with the rarest of poisons, which was slowly manifesting itself in her being without her knowledge? A poison whose antidote was very rare to come
ARIANo, I wasn't alright. My whole body ached and my temperature was abnormally high. I was very weak in addition to that and it was impossible for me to move without grunting in pain. I groaned at the constant throbbing sharp pain in my head which was supported by my two hands, as I sat forward on the dinning table. I shifted uncomfortably, moaning in pain. Something was terribly wrong. I was fine yesterday night, even this morning but the last few hours were a nightmare. It started as a dull ache which I casually disregarded as stress. I thought I would be fine after a quick meal and some light sleep. But I was wrong. I couldn't even bare to close my eyes even when I laid on the bed and food? My stomach churned badly now. I hardly even had more than a few morsels. This illness had graduated into this terrible pain I couldn't bear. The nausea hit me like a storm immediately I stood up from the dinning table. My vision became dark momentarily. I blinked my eyes rapidly, attempting
ADRIAN"Seize her!" You find out that you have strengths within you, you never knew existed when the need arises. It was disgusting honestly, how I have condoned Veronica's actions. With all the strength, power and wisdom I have been blessed with, I couldn't do anything about Veronica. I, instead, looked for a much easier and comfortable way around it and now, I am bleeding from the mistakes of my past."Luna hasn't much time left." These words. The words the royal physician had so casually uttered kept echoing in my head, each time louder than the former. He didn't need to spell it out for me honestly. I knew it the minute I saw her. It was obvious. The life was slowly slipping away from her. The thought of Aria dying, scared me to the bones.I couldn't allow it to happen. I would go to extra miles to ensure she's well and alive. After years of suffering, begging for a mate that would match me in all corners of my mind and soul, I would use my last energy, strength and breath to sa
ADRIANThe bitch laughed. She titled her head backwards and let out a hearty laugh, the sound filling the room. Her left hand held her chest as she giggled out, the sound sick to my ears. The guards stood still, their eyes confused at her actions. Was she supposed to be laughing? She was supposed to be terrified but Veronica laughed until a bead of tear came out of her left eye. This woman is really insane.Thomas came forward with the powdered tartan and stood in front of her while the other guards exchanged looks between each other, still perplexed at their former Luna's actions."Oh you can't really do that, Adrian." Her voice was excited, as though she was having the most enjoyable time in her life. Her eyes were bright as she stared at me, her white teeth visibly biting down on her full lips. I titled my head to the side, assessing her words. Whatever did she mean by that? Did she think I wouldn't do this? What was so funny about this, me feeding her poison, thesame poison she
ARIA.I tasted the bitter liquid before opening my eyes. My vision was blurry but I could still make out Adrian feeding me the liquid, his hand supporting my neck in an upright position, so I wouldn't choke. I closed my eyes and opened my mouth wider, eagerly taking the antidote, supressing the urge to gag out from how bad it tasted.Adrian laid my head back on the propped pillows and silently watched me, the expression on his face unreadable but I could feel how worried he was. I sighed out as I felt the antidote cool my passage way and calm my churning stomach. The relief started kicking in immediately. My legs stopped shaking, my nausea calmed down and the pounding in my head reduced drastically. I peeled my eyes open and this time, there was no burning sensation in my eyes as a result of the light that flooded the room. The images i could see were no more blury but very much visible. My eyes landed on Adrian, who had his eyes on the small bottle in his hands, his mind far away in
ARIAMy weak eyes watched as the maids and attendants struggled to tidy up the bed chambers. My sheets were replaced, I had already been given a bath and changed into another nightwear. I gripped the edge of the table as I watched them go and do their assigned tasks, my hand tightening on the table each time a wave of stomach pain hit me. The bleeding stopped long ago but I still felt heavy and foreign. I saw it in their eyes, the sadness that I had lost my pup even before he felt my arms around him. I lost my pup without my mate present go give me strength. How sad is that? Truth is, I had a lot of pain I was dealing with right now. I couldn't differentiate the emotional pain from the physical pain. "The physician is here." Morris announced in a gentle voice. I frowned. The deed has already been done, what was his aim of coming here? To place leaves on my stomach or feel my vitals? The Castle's physician has in no way helped with my illness at anytime. I doubted he needed to see m
ARIAIt's been two days since I last saw Adrian. I was still on bed rest as prescribed by the physician. I never went out of my chambers. Early in the morning, Morris would bring a mashed deep rooted leaf juice for me to gulp down before breakfast. After breakfast I would have a warm bath and would be dressed again for bed. "Where's Adrian?" I asked again for the umpteenth time. The look in Morris's eyes told me she held the answer I was searching for. I really needed to know, what was more important to Adrian, than being by my side, especially after everything, the worst of all, loosing his pup. I grimaced as my mind went back to how it happened. The miscarriage came from nowhere. Even as I had the intense stomach ache, I was still fine. My pup was still okay until I took the antidote. The antidote. I gasped in horror at the realization of what happened that day. The miscarriage was caused by the antidote given to me. I felt different emotions come at me from every corner but the
ARIA"My love, I am so sorry." The night was at it's darkest when I heard heavy footsteps padding around in my chambers, approaching my bedroom. I couldn't sleep a wink, not when I knew Veronica was after my life and my body was still weak. There was nothing I could do. Morris suggested tomorrow night, for the departure and I couldn't agree more. I was sure that by then, the pain in my loins and stomach would have reduced drastically. My emotional allergy would have gone down by a notch. I needed to be very healthy seeing as we didn't know how long we would journey on foot before finding a situable destination.After dinner, I went to bed normally and stared up at the ceiling, counting my breaths after a relaxing hot bath. I didn't even will for sleep to grace me with its presence. I had a lot of things on my mind I needed to address. Seconds became minutes and hours. I ended up thinking about everything and nothing in particular. My ears were alert when I heard the chamber door ope
