KILLIAN POV:"You evil woman!" I tightened my grip around her neck and she started struggling again to breath. "How could you do that?" I asked, disbelief was laced in my voice. I still couldn't believe she had done something like that. I thought she was just a young woman in a shitty situation and I decided to help her plus she was almost accused of what she didn't do because of her circumstances not knowing she really was guilty."I really didn't know that there was a threat written on it." She forced herself to say even in my tight grip. Her face was turning red and and I could see she was slowly loosing consciousness so I pulled my hand away and she collapsed to the ground again."I'm I suppose to believe that nonsense? You denied ever delivering a letter to the Luna and also made someone else do it as well." I said to her, "You ruined her life and now she's with the enemy, left there in their mercy! She could be dead by now!""I'm sorry…" she crawled towards me and grabbed my foo
KILLIAN POVDarius adviced me to see Aria and I listened.I went to her room and knocked. I heard a sniffle and my heart sank. Why was she crying? Or was she sick? I knocked harder so she opens the door quickly if she doesn't want trouble."Aria, what is it? Please open the door." I said from behind the door as I knocked. I wondered if Marcus had done his damage again and said something to upset her and she was crying as a result of it.Marcus was really getting on my nerves and I was really hoping to punch him for everything he's been saying to Aria. If he's really the one that's making her cry, I doubt I'd remain calm like I was at the garden and would have stormed to Marcus and fought with him.Soon the door opened and Aria appeared. I opened the door more and made my way in. I shut it behind me then placed both hands on her shoulder and bent my head closer to her and scanned her face.I could tell her face was previously filled with tears and was wiped away in a hurry."Hey, are y
MARCUS POVLast Sunday was another failed mission, I had attended yet another boring gala just to get a chance to meet Alpha Matthias without going to his castle but he didn't show up even though I heard he was going to be there.It was weird and I needed to know why. I had to send Aria back one way or the other but my attempts have been fruitless from the last three attempts.I was beginning to loose hope and on Monday, I was very frustrated and angry. I decided I needed to confront the witch, Aria and find out what she has done.On my way there, I found her leaving her room with a guard, from the serious look on her face, I decided to play detective.*****"Hey." She called out to the guard escorting me, they seemed to be headed towards the guards quarter and I remembered Timothy was resuming that day.Was she going to see him? I wondered."Yes, my grace?" The guard replied and turned to her. Her heart was beating loudly and unfortunately it made me worried. This was because of the
MARCUS POVI was too easy to convince Timothy. His grieving heart was filled with anger and he couldn't do anything to the ones he was angry at because of their high positions. While this is a sad place for him, it was an opportunity for me to get a mole in the castle, someone who'll do as I ask secretly because he has hidden agendas as well. I needed someone to report only to me and wouldn't let anyone else find out about what he knows and our plans and he was the perfect fit for that job description. Once Timothy agreed, I told him I needed him to gather some information for me. I was short on some information about what happened between Alpha Matthias and Aria, how they saved her from him, and why he was still in hiding. It was very obvious that Alpha Matthias wasn't attending those events because I was going to be there but well… as Alpha Killian. I tried asking the knucklehead, Killian what transpired when they saved her but I got nothing from him because he's mad at the way
MARCUS POVI watched as the maid I sent to call Aria out took her all the way to the bunker. When she finally met Timothy, he knocked her unconscious immediately and that was too sudden even for me. He hit her so hard that I even wanted to punch Timothy for handling her that rough. I went closer to him, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Why hit her like that? Did you forget it'll activate the mating bond?" I yelled at him. "I'm sorry." He apologized with a bow, "But she was about to figure out something was wrong, I had to attack when her guard was still down." He explained.I nodded. He seemed to have a point. "Alright, you know the way, take her out of the castle and wait for me where we agreed," I instructed him. He nodded, then carried her on his shoulder and walked off into the bunker.Anyways… one thing checked, now to inform Alpha Matthias. DARIUS POVI knocked and then waited for the question that should follow but it never came. Maybe she was sleeping? I knocked again, "Hey
DARIUS POVI rushed to see Killian. I found him where I would also see him, the study room. He was engulfed with some paperwork as always. I barged in without letting him know but I was sure he would have already smelled me from miles away. "What is it, Darius?" He asked with a raised brow. He saw the distressed look on my forehead and immediately became concerned. "I thought you made someone watch over Aria, how come you still don't know by now that she's missing?" I shouted at him. Killian immediately rose from his seat and stared at me in shock, soon he was engulfed in anger, "What do you mean, Darius? Missing? How?!" He questioned with gritted teeth. "You're asking me? You should ask your betraying rebellious brother! I seriously don't know what to do with that idiot!" I shouted. "What did Marcus do to Aria this time?" "I don't know what he wants to do with her but he's taken her somewhere and we need to find out immediately." Killian was by my side after that and we decid
ARIA POVAgain, I find myself in a mysterious place, everywhere dark. My heart started racing and I wondered what has happened this time. Did Alpha Matthias send people to kidnap me again? I wondered but that wasn't going to help me. This time I needed to escape on my own. I can't also seem helpless before the brothers, that's why Marcus is always against. Not that I was to prove him wrong and make him like me or anything, I just feel like I need to be independent at least just this once. I had almost escaped from Alpha Matthias' castle before, although I was caught and Killian had to rescue me, I still can try and make it out this time. But first, I have to figure out how I ended up here. My hand subconsciously went to my forehead that has been pounding since I got back my senses. I tried to recall but nothing pops up except I had gone to meet up with Timothy wgo requested to see me. I was very excited about it because he might accept my apology. And that's all I can remember
MARCUS POVI went to the one of the unused warehouse we owned, I agreed to meet Timothy there. When I arrived, I found them there already. He placed Aria on the floor as she was still unconscious."Alright Timothy, you've done well, now all that's left is phase two of our plan. I'll handle that, you can wait outside." I addressed Timothy and he bowed before walking off. I bent down close to Aria's unconscious body and shook it. She was out cold. Just a strike from a gun left her like that. She was just too weak. Her left cheek was on the cold dirty floor, her sleeping face looked so angelic, her fair skin glistened from the light in the room. Her pink lips were calling out for me and before I knew it, I saw myself going in for a kiss. Aria suddenly groaned and turned, my senses returned and I cursed myself. "What the fuck am I doing?" I asked out loud then immediately stood up. I walked over to where the light switch was and turned it off.If I can't see her face, I won't do anyth
