ARIA POVI pushed Marcus away angrily and ran to Killian, tears were streaming down my cheeks. I was emotionally exhausted and couldn't possibly deal with Marcus on my own at the moment. Marcus was on my trail but I didn't care and went to Killian.“Killian!” I called out to him once I spotted him. He turned and smiled weakly at me but his smile completely disappeared once he saw I was crying. I ran into his arms and he spread them out to let me in, he wrapped them tightly around me and I wrapped them tightly around his torso as well like my life depended on it. “What's wrong, baby?” Killian whispered in my ears softly and affectionately. “Nothing, she's just being dramatic since she lost the baby.” I heard Marcus answer from behind me. “I never asked you.” Killian refuted him then leaned closer to my ear and tug some hair behind my ear, “What is it baby?” “It's Marcus! He's trying to make me have sex with him.” I immediately reported as I cried. “What?” Killian yelled in my ears
ARIA POV“One hundred and twenty seven…” Aria was tired of counting ceilings z ever since the attack on the pack, the brothers had resulted in locking her.up in the pack house to make sure she was safe and sound.But it was only normal that she was getting bored.

She went through every door, until she came across one that looked old and forgotten.Her hand nestled on the handle and just as she turned it, it did not click. I
ARIA POVThe next day, after that wild threesome, I discovered Marcus was distancing himself from me. I just let him be so he could deal with his issues himself because it'll be good for him and also because the brothers find out that the revolts are trying to use the fact that they aren't officially mated with me to kidnap me. I've had enough kidnapping in this lifetime, I don't want to be kidnapped again. The thought of it was already terrifying me. The brothers went into a meeting room to discuss what they'll do along with their royal advisors. They were at it for hours and I had to roam around, waiting for what decision they'll make. Finally, after five long hours, they came out and the meeting was over. I rushed to them to find out what's going to happen to me. “So, did anyone come up with what to do?” I asked eagerly and was a bit nervous that no one could think of one. An obvious solution is to having the mating ceremony immediately but would it be okay to have it in time i

Alpha Darius has been injected with large amounts of silver, I'm sorry to say but he might not make it. We need to take him to the hospital to get him better treatment as soon as possible.”The information download made Killian's world spin, Aria and Marcus were missing, and Darius was on the brink of death.

“You do not tell me that!! Search everywhere! They must be found at all costs!”Killian was enraged, his men had been looking for his brother and his mate for days but there has been no sign of the. Coupled with the tension of both his missing people, his brother was still in the hospital and there has been no good news yet.Killian was stressed and tired, he hadn't slept in days and his eyes were covered with multiple bags.

“I like it when I don't share you.” Marcus placed a kiss on her head as he drew the zipper of his leather pants. He had just finished assaulting his own mate and he had no remorse about it.Aria laid on the ground, somewhat lifeless, every bit of remorse she.felt.for Marcus had gone down the drain and it had now been replaced with hate.The fact that he even kissed her.made her want to puke but after being beaten for days for.multiple escape missions gone wrong, she was too weak to resist. She only cried. And when she was done crying, she.slipped into a familiar darkness.Opening her eyes again, the room now had a bulb, which was a very good improvement even though it flickered. Now she could see a bit of her surroundings even better and she realized she was put into some kind of storage room.It had items. The frame of a bed, a settee , pictures, multiple pictures but each one of them had been scorched by flames. Where the hell was she?Aria managed to pull herself to her feet and be
They had gathered some wood and put it around Marcus lifeless form and soon a fire was formed and he was engulfed in flames.No one said anything, they observed his obituary in silence, Killian the most silent of them all.“He was the last one to get out the fire when the house was burning, he was so scared. Now he is turning to ashes, in the same fire that consumed his heart. I saved him then, but I couldn't save him now.”Killian turned to Darius after his statement, a sense of loneliness covering his eyes. His brother was short of words until Aria swayed, almost falling until she was caught.“Aria!” Darius held her tightly, her eyes were sealed shut and he began to fear the worst, “She needs to see a doctor.” With a swoop, she was in his arms and he was walking ahead. Kai put out the fire and turned to follow his brother, but he took one look at Marcus before running off to catch up with Darius. Right now his present was more important, and that was Aria.It had been days since sh
