ADRIAN. "Thomas?" I slumped on the chair closest to me in weakness. Thomas? How much am I not aware of? Thomas is Veronica's mate? That means Thomas has always known it then, that he was her true mate, before or after I was mated to Veronica, I knew not. In fact, both of them knew it, judging by how she quickly turned back to him immediately her plan failed her. All those actions, all pretense and I foolishly believed it. I replayed nearly all our past interactions and I couldn't help but feel very stupid. Thomas was the guard in charge of Veronica. I had assigned him to monitor her in the dungeons. How foolish I was to have trusted him that day. "We need to leave, Adrian." Dylan suggested but his voice had an edge to it, as though he was giving a command. "Staying here is not possible, except you wish for death. I didn't wish to hear of such talks. I couldn't even think about leaving my kingdom. Leave everything behind for what? Search for other people's power? Then what use was
ADRIANI wasn't prepared for what I just saw but damn, I was proud. It felt good and comforting. For a brief moment, I forgot my mate is a Luna, a very strong one at that. She handled herself well in this situation. I was worried for nothing. As Dylan and I rushed through the hallways, my heart pounded in my chest. I was scared for what might happen. Veronica's followers hated Aria and Thomas or whoever caught on Aria eavesdropping on them wouldn't hesitate to end her life. But now, as I stood in the chambers, the relief that washed through me down to my toes when I saw my mate felt so damn satisfying. My mate, Luna Aries was in her full form, her white fur decorated with drops of blood, her mouth entirely soaked with the red colour. She bit him.. Thomas had a large bite mark on his neck and a pool of thick red blood had formed around him. His eyes were lifeless but even in death, his face had that wicked expression. I knelt down immediately in front of my Luna and wrapped her soft
ARIA "My Queen. It's a pleasure to serve you." Janice dipped into a low curtesy with a very disgusting smile on her face. It just occured to me that I had never for once in my life studied the features on her face. Not for once, stared at her boldly before. I was nothing but a low ranked omega she tossed and bullied. My head was always low and my eyes, directed to the ground. A rankless wolf dared not to look at the head of kitchens or any head of duty so boldly. Now that I studied her features her fair and square, I was disappointed in her physicality. She was indeed, so ugly and that smell...moon forbid. "Ah Janice. Do rise." She was good pretender, I'll give her that. She looked so innocent and calm. Her eyes even shone with energy towards me. She acted so different from earlier when I eavesdropped. "I need a maid Janice. I have an urgent task I need tending to. You heard what happened to Alice, right?" I asked in a terribly sweet voice as I walked around the table and picked
ARIAThe warm blood spatted on my left cheek, the metallic smell filling up my nostrils instantly. I sighed out as she wailed in pain, her loud noise, a nuisance to my ears. She used her left hand to hold her now four fingered right hand tenderly as the blood gushed out. Her mouth was wide and her eyes were raw with unshed tears. I looked down at the butchered little finger on the floor and tsked at the amount of blood that gushed out of it. "All these could be prevented, Janice." I spoke in a soft voice as I held her face tenderly. "This is a very simple issue. "Tell me where Veronica is." Janice wailed more this time as she sat down completely on her arse, her eyes wide as she stared at me. She had this unbelieving look in her eyes. I didn't blame her, not at all. In their eyes, they still saw and thought of me as a weak omega that I once was. Well, it was time to prove them wrong. "Allow me to take her heart for you, Luna." Dylan said in a gruffy voice. "She has committed treaso
ADRIANI scribbled down the contradictory words on the thick paper with a smile on my face. It was time to trap thst bitch! I was still amazed at my mate. Together we could do everything we wished for. We didn't need any help. We could do this all on our own. I was in my study writing letters to the two werewolf clans. Even though I doubted the messages would be delivered, I decided to be smart about it. I wrote falsified words, informing the Alpha that we were in great danger and in need of desperate help whilst knowing that we were finally getting the hang of this. Veronica would think us weak when we would be busy taking out her followers. I also added that Aria was a weak Luna and couldn't benefit me at this point. Veronica would come soon for us and conquer the kingdom. "Take this to the night post by the gate. Have someone deliver this letter to the clans. It's urgent." I commanded Gregory. "Guard this letter with your life." Even though he gave a firm nod, I doubted he woul
ARIAI watched the life leave Janice's eyes with no remorse. Hell, I wished I added to her suffering. She didn't deserve the mercy I showered upon her. "You've done well." I informed Dylan who had a stoic expression on his face. He reached down and wiped the blood from his sword with her gown. I looked at the two dead bodies in my bedroom and thought of a quiet way to dispose them. We needed to do so quietly, without getting attention at night, we attack them. "It's only till tonight, my lady. Let's hide the bodies. After we have wiped these traitors existence from the earth, we will do everything as we please." Yes. That was a good suggestion as well. Why the rush when we could wait and do everything calmly without fear of being caught? We would save energy and cremate them at thesame time. Veronica, I had different plans for her. I would hang her body at the palace gates. It shall serve as a warning, for all intending traitors. They would tread carefully and this shall also be a
ARIAI was on the floor, clutching my heart from how bad it hurt. I was heartbroken and ears, it still was numb from the painful words I just heard. My entire body vibrated with strong emotions from my toes up to my brain and down my spine. I had long forgotten about the arrow that was still in me. The pain of rejection was fiercer and sharper in momentum. My eyes clouded with unshed tears and my troat was clamped. I had too much words I wanted to say and different actions I itched to demonstrate against Veronica but I couldn't do a thing. Of course, what did I think? I would bring her down so easily because I successfully killed her mate? That moment I realized Veronica was there all along that day. She predicted that this was going to happen. She definitely saw me eavesdropping on Thomas and Janice and she let it happen. She didn't want Thomas regardless of the bond they had. Adrian had been the male she has always desired. Warm tears stained my cheeks as I tried to get up on m
ADRIANI couldn't do it. I couldn't continue like this. How everything went downhill in mere seconds is still shocking to me. Aria is gone. Dylan is...dead. We were outnumbered. There was no way I could do anything about Veronica without her harming Aria successfully. I wasn’t prepared for the situation I saw at hand. When I saw Aria, hurt, in pain, I lost myself. She was bleeding profusely and she was in great need of a physician. I couldn't allow her to die. It was exactly how I had thought it to be. Veronica needed me because her heart liked me in a twisted sort of way only she understood. She called it love. As I studied the situation, I already knew what she had in her mind even before she uttered those words. 'Tis the only reason why she didn't end our lives when she had the whole subjects at her disposal. "Reject her." Adairs had boomed in my head. He was in agreement too. "We have to save her. Aries can't die, like this." I had to sacrifice my freedom, happiness and love for
