ARIA"Aria...do you want to see him?" I burst into more tears at Morris's words. How could I see him looking like this? I looked like a person who shall fall down soon to her death. Why did he have to look for me so desperately? He came this far for me and is currently before the Lycan guards, desperately begging for his mate. Only if things were perfectly alright. If I was healthy and well, I would have gone to him. Adrian had done nothing but love and care for me. It was clear as crystal now. Everything he did was in my favor but I didn't understand. Why didn't he tell me, that it was just the beginning of what I was going to face? Everything made sense now, how he was never happy even when I became well, temporarily. He was thinking of the future. Death.Morris wrapped her arms around my being, her upper body on top of mine. I reacted immediately, pushing her off me. I didn't want to be touched. I felt like I was going to transfer the disease to anyone that came a meter close to m
ADRIAN"I'm sorry, Alpha Adrian. Aria...isn't your mate anymore. She's mated to another." Aria's head attendant. It was her, alive and very much healthy. Too healthy. Everything was different about her, she wasn't the invisible lady beside Aria anymore. She was dressed like a Lycan, in their wealthy clothings. Her hair was braided in several small braids and then knotted at the top of her head. Her face sparkled with light make-up that brought out her features. Coming here wasn't easy. I fought internally with myself tooth and nail before finally deciding on coming, keeping my pride aside and focusing on my deepest desires. Aria. The Lycan borders were heavily guarded with thick armored men. Their body size were huge but they didn't intimidate me. I was strong as much as they were, probably even stronger. I was a match for their king, not them. The guards were quick to circle around my troops and I, ready to attack. Their dead emotionless eyes were trained on me especially, the tro
ADRIAN"I hope you're happy, Veronica." My words were empty and devoid of any emotions. I was haggered and hurt, stressed and tired but I couldn't wait to go to the Eastern wing of the palace once we reached Cosmos Kingdom. I didn't care that the sky was still at it's darkest when we arrived at Cosmos. My soldiers said not even a word, seeing as they saw the sad expression on my face and no sign of Aria. They offered me their silence and I appreciated it. I got down from my horse and looked up at the palace which once upon a time was everything to me but now it was empty. Quiet. Cold. The pain was different, your mate leaving you without a rejection. We loved each other. We flourished together. We had thesame prospects and needs in our lives. Most of all we desired each other. But Veronica, was the cause. She had to be punished. Every soul responsible for this tragic act had to be punished."No, Adrian. I am..." I couldn't resist it now. I struck her face with all the strength I had
I groaned as I shifted on the soft surface. My back was stiff and my entire abdomen hurt in an unexplainable way. Where was I? What was happening? I opened my eyes, shyly at first and shut them immediately. The light bleached my eyes and made me groan uncomfortably. A few more seconds and I peeled them open again, taking in my surroundings. I was in my chambers, on my bed. I groaned out again, loudly this time as I tried to get up, the entire pain gripping my lower parts. I moaned painfully as I laid back down immediately, my breaths coming out in pants. My hands reached down instinctively on my bandaged abdomen, in a soothing way. That was when I remembered what happened. What I had done. I sobbed out, the sound coming out as a gasp. I wasn't supposed to be alive. I wasn't supposed to survive. No. This wasn't the plan. I was meant to have been found dead in the morning. How was I supposed to live without Aria? The question alone itself terrified me. People wouldn't understand why
MORRISI circled my legs around my male as he plunged repeatedly into my needy whole, my nails digging into his skin as I writhed with pleasure. This was so so good, better than any love making I've ever engaged in. Maddock was just how I wanted my male to be. He gave it to me how I craved it without me voicing out my desires. His huge cock unimaginably fit into my tight hole, filling the void I've been missing for a long while. When my mate died, it was difficult to go through the first couple of years. I still remember the days I woke up at night, crying, needing a male's touch. My center had throbbed with desperate need to feel something inside me. My clit bud had twitched at the intensity of pleasure I wanted to feel but I had no male. On the other days, I would wake up to find myself squeezing my thighs together in desperate need of friction. Anything just to come. There was no hope for me. No male who would be my mate and fulfill my wants and needs, warm my bed at night and sat
MORRIS.We were lost. Five days and four nights and we had no idea where we were. My back hurt and my neck was stiff. I didn't feel good about my body, not in the slightest. Five days without the warm and scented bath my body was gradually getting used to make me feel deprived. It made me feel sick about my own body. I didn't feel amazing at all. At this point, I was looking for a stream, just to wash out the dirt and the sticky sweat that had glued to my skin. "Where are we now? Are we back on track?" My tired voice was loud in the almost dark area. The two guards looked around the forest, studied it for a while before turning their heads, their eyes asking for confirmation from my female attendants. Both females nodded in agreement before the huge bulgy man riding on the left path answered me. "We're on the right track my lady." I sighed out in frustration. I didn't want to look impatient but it has been days already. I didn't think this would take more than three days. On the o
DRIANONE WEEK LATER"What do you mean by that?" I had a hell of a headache just by listening to their loud banters. Words I was yet to understand because the three Beta's all seemed to be talking at once. Two years ago, I did what has never been done in any clan. I formed a committee of kingsmen comprising of three Beta's to check and balance the King's laws and acts. Most days, I found myself buried in a lot pf paperwork and undischarged matters. I couldn't keep up with the extra work for long. I needed helping hands. This way, I got to delegate some certain duties to certain Beta's in my clan. I discharged issues of army, food(economy), power and internal affairs to the most serious minded Betas and those days, I was relieved and could work efficiently. Right now, after hours of working on this clan's maintenance, I had to fit in a meeting with the Beta's and this was just to throw sand on my face? "Alpha, we do this in your best interest. You need to act on it. Immediately." It
MORRIS"Her only daughter, Riley, can be of help to you." She added as she read the shocked expressions on our faces. "She lives in the Vampire realm. A consort to the Vampire king." The news was worst than the initial one she gave us. Vampire realm. No werewolf or Lycan had ever set foot into their realm. They were an entire different specie from us and a great danger to our kind. How then could we reach Riley? The Vampire Realm wasn't far from here. An hours worth of horse ride was all but it wasn't easy going there. The Vampires were the worst kind of creatures according to our books and they weren't merciful enough to anyone, even amongst their species."How is Riley a consort to a vampire?" Our kinds could never be mated to the Vampires. The heavens were a witness to the enemity between us. How was a Werewolf a consort to a vampire, that was what I desperately wanted to know. "The blessed one wasn't a werewolf. She was a witch and so is her daughter. Find her and you shall get t
