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
ARIAFaint noises, more like whispers from a far distance. My body felt rigid but warm and cozy. I tried opening my eyes immediately but it took a great amount of energy and strength. I could barely keep them open for a few seconds before I closed them back again. I took deep breaths through my very much dried up nostrils and shifted my head on the softness it was laid on. A pillow. The events of earlier came back gushing to my head and instantly I realized I wasn't dead. I was alive. This gave me the energy to open my eyes again with doubled strength than before. It was dark. The cyrtains were drawn. I was in what appeared to be a small cottage room with minimal furnishings. There was no one present. I was on a bed and wrapped warmly in thick bed covers. The whispers had stopped and I realised they were coming from outside the bedroom or cottage. Probably passers-by or the occupants.I groaned as I lifted my hand to take the covers off me. I wanted to check my wound. From how sore a
ARIAONE WEEK LATER. "Want some soup with the bread?" Ferris asked as she served Gregory a heap of roasted rice and corn on his plate. I watched Gregory dive into his meal immediately, feeding himself large spoonfuls of rice into his mouth. Ferris made sure I ate light. I had relatively gotten much better, so much more than I expected I would. The pain was faint and lately, it started to itch a little bit. It was healing nice and well. I was taken care of so well and I couldn't be more grateful to Ferris. Truly she was the last person I expected to be kind to me. I couldn't resist asking her why she willingly helped me. She said I was never wicked to her, not even when I ascended the throne as Luna. Truth was, she had been scared, I would subject her to ill treatment but none came. "Yes please." I was having a huge appetite today. After eating fruits I still had space for bread. I ate quietly and slowly until Gregory broke the silence. "Yes. Luna, I have made some important discov
ADRIAN"Greetings, my king." King? His king? I wasn't their king! I had finally accepted it. Veronica has successfully achieved for what she has aimed. My sanity, peace, strength and happiness. I was hunched over my study table, my hands gripped the edges so tight my knuckles were white. Honestly, Gregory came at the wrong time. His voice and choice of words seemed to infuriate me more. I growled loudly, the voice coming from deep within me. I placed my hands on the table and swiped the contents on it, along with the tumbler filled with the vile orange liquid . It shattered on the floor, the contents splashing everywhere, the colour staining the tiles instantly. I scoffed. This is what she wants me to ingest! How perfect. The papers flew in the air before it scattered everywhere around my study. I watched the papers dance in the air before it kissed the wet ground, the colour slowly permeating the white papers. I was still angry. How dare she? Was this how my life was to become? Me
