Aria’s POV
This cell was starting to stink more and more each day or was it me that was stinking since I wasn’t able to shower or wash properly apart from the dingy bucket of WATER, they left in here every other day?
I lay on the tiny cot staring at the ceiling of my prison my mind had often wondered too the twins and what they were doing if they were trying to find me or if they thought I’d run away from them again.
A single tear rolled down my cheek at the thought of them not coming for me what if they had just given up? That thought alone caused my chest to ache right above me heart as I tried to rub the pain away.
I knew it was completely an irrational notion as the mate bond still thrummed away between us but the thought still hurt whether it was true or not, and after spending god knows how long down here my mind was a complete mess!
They had been drugging the foo

I collapse into the arms of my mates and sobbed into Darian’s chest, the heat from their bodies surrounded me at the same time their arms bounded around my shaking body. I clung to them while I balled my eyes out, my body shaking from the remaining adrenaline coursing through me and the fatigue from the fight and running through the woods had taken its toll on my body physically I was shaken but mental I was exhausted, exhausted from being away from my mates, exhausted from being starved, exhausted from thinking they wouldn’t come for me, I almost allowed myself to believe they wouldn’t but when the mate bond pulsed it reminded me to have faith in my mates and in their love for me. We stay huddled together on the damp muddy forest floor holding strong to each other as I took deep breaths to control my sobbing and inhaling their scents something that calmed me almost instantly, the love we had for one another pulsed around
I felt all eyes on me as I spoke.“There is really only one way we can safely deal with Eli without hurting my brother,” I said. Dragus went to speak, but I held up my hand.
That evening was a flurry of preparations. The dragon council’s guards would be here tomorrow to transport us there before the trial began, so we had time to settle in.It was a strange feeling, being in front of the council no one ever really saw them. They remained in the shadows of our world, ruling from behind the scenes rather than taking a hands-on approach in the day to day running of our world.The only reason they chose to hold court was if your crimes were so heinous, the alpha felt the punishment he was able to hand down was too lenient and the council could hand out a more serious punishment fitting of the crime, like with Eli.Everyone was scurrying around packing for the upcoming trip and the housemaids had packed for the alpha and his family, myself included, which left me with my own thou
The next day, I was a wreck. Dragus never came to bed the night before and I had fallen asleep crying against Darian. He held me the whole time, whispering that it would be okay. Breakfast was quiet. I was sitting at one end of the large dining table with Darian, Demi, and Theo when Dragus walked in and sat down at the other end of the table. I resisted the urge to start crying again. It was helped by Darian’s hand under the table, resting gently against my leg. His touch calmed me and reminded me that I wasn’t alone.
The journey through the portal was an interesting one. As we hit the rip in the sky, my ears popped and I could feel tingles all up and down my body. I gripped the twin’s hands as hard as I could as I felt like the air was pulled from my lungs. I glanced up at Dragus and he seemed to be having a similar experience. He caught me looking and smiled at me and squeezed my hand. Just as I was about to start panicking, the pressure eased off and I could breathe again. I looked out of the window and gasped.
I stood holding the twins’ hands as Eli was led off by the guards around the back of the building. I looked over at the three on the steps and saw that Alpha Amera was staring at me. He tipped his head and turned to walk away.
I didn’t know how to take this. My mum was alive! I took a step back, away from Darian and Dragus. Away from Agnes. Away from it all.
