-Prisca-

I paced around the room restlessly thinking about what Dante had told me and trying to figure out what he had meant by all those things he had said. Was he trying to blackmail me? And on what grounds? It seems he does not know who I am and he thinks he can threaten me because I am a scarred cat.

Well, he must be mistaken and making a very big mistake because he was messing with the wrong person. Of course, I had no intentions of doing what he wanted me to because I would not be forced to do anything with force.

And I know he does not love Jasmine as much as she loves him. Whatever his intentions are, he is not going to get it from me. I must not let him think he has a hold on me.

I sat on my bed. Just who the hell does he think he is anyway? Coming to my house to tell me all that rubbish.

I had stayed away from the empire for some days now because I wanted to give her some space but I had hoped she would come looking for me just the last time and as always. This was the thir

    -Aria-The red stoned ring! She was wearing the ring on her finger. What is going on?I blinked my eyes rapidly and swallowed a lump in my throat. Or was I mistaken? I recognized the ring because how could I ever forget the memory that flashed in my mind about Jasmine’s death? It looked just like it.Prisca did not notice the look on my face as she unpacked the food she had brought from the basket while I just kept staring at her in what felt like fear and shock all in one. But I did not have the time to think further when a sudden nauseated feeling hit me and salty saliva gathered in my mouth.I held my stomach and ran to the bathroom to throw up.“Jasmine,” Prisca called out, running after me. I threw up and leaned on the wall, gasping for air.“Jasmine, what is it?” Prisca asked with concern on her face, placing her hand on my shoulder. I recoiled unconsciously, moving away from her touch.“Jasmine…” she looked worried.“Did you put garlic in the food?” I finally found the strength

    -Lara-I walked briskly to the large sitting room where Vera and Agatha were seated and discussing.“Guys,” I stood before them and they looked up at me.“What is the matter, Lara?” Agatha asked, looking at me questioningly. “Why are you running like someone who has just seen a ghost?”“So none of you is wondering why the alpha did not join us for breakfast today?” I asked, looking at them one after the other. Agatha hissed and Vera shook her head, looking away.“So this is the reason why you were running as if something was pursuing you?” Agatha stated disappointedly.“Is it news that the alpha does not eat with us?” Vera asked. “Many times he is too busy to join us. Why are you acting as if you are a newcomer here?”“Yes it is no news that the alpha does that sometimes-“Most of the time,” Agatha corrected and I scowled at her and continued.“But have you cared to find out why he did not eat with us?” I further propped.“Can you listen to yourself, Lara?” Vera looked like I was milk

    -Aria—I could not sleep. I lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling. Yet, Prisca lay beside me on the bed sleeping peacefully. I could feel her steady breathing and I wondered how anyone could sleep peacefully beside someone they killed.I could not help but wonder. It was not certain who had done it now that there were three of that kind of ring, I did not know what to think. Should I believe that Ariel had killed Jasmine, or it was Prisca, who is also her best friend, who killed her?But what reason would Prisca want to kill Jasmine? At least, Ariel had a reason. Jasmine was secretly seeing her lover. Now that I thought of it, I did not know if Ariel knew about Jasmine and Dante. It was possible she did not know so there would be no reason for her to want to kill her sister.Though it was obvious Jasmine and Ariel were not really close, it was normal sometimes and not enough reason for her to kill her if Jasmine had not done anything to her.Perhaps, there was something under the c

    -Ariel-I opened the door to find Dante putting on his clothes and he turned to look at me with a frown on his face.“Hey darling,” I greeted him cheerfully.“Don’t you knock before entering someone’s room?” he asked, looking away and I rolled my eyes.“Who’s room please? And what are you trying to hide from me?” I asked him, walking into the room.“Why are you here this early morning?” he asked me and I scowled at him.“Good morning to you Dante.”He did not say a word further and went to sit on his bed, watching him while he dressed up.“While other ladies are up early preparing breakfast for their men, mine is asking me what I am doing in his room,” I said, intentionally starting up a conversation and driving it to where I wanted.“Which ladies?” Dante asked me casually, looking at his reflection in the mirror while he brushed his hair.“Well, on my way here I met Jasmine with a tray of food going to serve Adonai,” I told him and waited for his reaction. He paused and I could see a

    -Dante-Jasmine taking food to Adonai was a piece of news I did not know how to react to. While I was glad that there might be room for Adonai to consider favoring her, I was worried about the reason why she had done that. If Adonai does take her as his wife, it would only be of benefit to me if she loved me.But if the reason why Jasmine was putting up that act was something other than that then all my plans would be down the drain. And even though I did not want to think what I was suspecting, it was obvious Jasmine was acting weird towards me.Could it be that she no longer loved me and now she wanted Adonai? But feelings do not change overnight, do they?Now I was more worried because I was not certain Jasmine’s heart still belonged to me. I need to make sure of that, to make my plans remain on track else I have no use for.Talking about the devil, I took a corner and saw Jasmine and Prisca ahead of me. I called out to her and they both turned to look at me. They stopped walking a

    -Prisca-No matter how hard I tried to act as if all was fine, deep down I knew it was not and it only left me agitated because I could not place my hand on the exact problem.Jasmine was acting off and I could tell something was off with her. Even though I could not tell what the problem was, I knew that it was affecting our relationship and could not let that happen. I have to figure out what the problem is and handle it before it gets out of hand.What was more, she was not talking to me and kept saying she was fine.While standing a few paces away from her and Dante, he kept looking at me. I don’t know what he is up to but I have decided he will be avoided at all costs. He seemed like a potential danger to me. What he planned to achieve with Jasmine, I do not know what it is. Dangling between two sisters, he was the reason for the enmity between them.I knew the distanced relationship between Jasmine and Ariel went way back to when they were much younger. But it was more pronounce

    -Aria-Prisca had left earlier than usual and I felt at ease with her absence. It gave me room to breathe, be myself, and of late, to think.I was no longer worried about staying alone and being bored. It was better than being surrounded by people who might not want you around and even want you dead. Trust was expensive, I should have known that.However, I did not trust Prisca entirely because even though she was Jasmine’s friend, I barely knew her. I need to find out who the bad one is here so I can know where to fix myself while working towards my plans.I have the two to balance. My security and ambitions. I knew one must not suffer. If I focused more on trying to stay safe I would not have the time to fulfill my plans and if I am not able to fulfill my plans on time I would not be safe either.I do not have the time to keep trying to figure out things but I would have to be careful.My thoughts drifted to Adonai and I caught a small smile on my face when I remembered the kiss.

    -Ariel-I had taken my bath and was waiting for Dante in his room, on his bed. I did not know where he had gone and he had not told me either.I have been thinking of getting pregnant for Dante so he would have no choice but to go ahead with the marriage plans. I am tired of being a fiancée for a long while it seems he has eyes for another woman who just happens to be my sister.If he is not going to make a move I would, maybe that would move him to action and take up his responsibilities.I realized I had been waiting for several minutes and he was nowhere to be found. Where had he gone this late in the night? I stood up from the bed and was about to go out to look for him when I realized I was not well covered. I went back to the dresser and found a long robe. I wore it and made for the door.I did not even know where to begin looking for him but I began to head towards the courtroom. Perhaps he was still having some meetings or with his brother, the alpha. If I did not see him I mi

    -Adonai- I took in a deep breath to steady myself when Maria approached me, her face strained with worry and told me Aria was nowhere to be found.I had asked her to go get her since the ceremony was about to start."What do you mean by she is nowhere to be found," I asked, my voice in a low whisper so the people at my table would not hear."Even I don't understand myself," Maria said. "But she is not in her room and no one seems to have seen her."No, this cannot be happening now. I braced myself and tried to remain calm."Uhm, gentlemen, I will be right back," I addressed the men at my table."Is everything fine?" Dominick asked as I excused myself and I told him all was well. All was not well at all. A few minutes to the start of my wedding the bride is nowhere to be found.I walked with long strides towards Aria's room with Maria following steadily behind me."I was wondering if she had to quickly do something outside the palace because it doesn't seem like she..." Maria trailed

    -Aria- I groaned in pain as I opened my eyes. I tried to move but discovered I couldn't, I was tied firmly to something I could not see, a pole or something.What's going on? I tried to think. The last thing I remembered was being prepared for my wedding and then strange faces appeared in my room.I looked up sharply when I realised what had happened. I was in an empty room that was void of anything normal in a location I could not fathom.I recognised the faces in the room as the ones who had walked in on me."Who are you and why did you kidnap me?" My throat was dry, as well as my voice. None of them bothered to give me an answer."Hey, say something. Who sent you?" I pushed."Keep it down Aria," a very familiar voice said. "This is not the palace where you speak anyhow you like and everyone is answerable to you.""Prisca?" I muttered under my breath but she heard."Tis me, yes," she stretched her hands out in a show of dignity. "Flesh and blood."I looked on in shock. Is this a dr

    -Aria- I was being dressed by the maids for the wedding when Adonai walked in, and they all trooped out to give us a moment."Is anything the matter?" I asked, searching his face."Not really," he replied with a small smile on his face. "I just wanted to see you."I rolled my eyes at him."You see me every day," I pointed out."Yeah," he replied with a sigh as he walked to a stool and sat in front of me, his eyes watched me tenderly."What?" I shook my head with a chuckle."You know, there is this old story we heard while growing up," he said."Okay?""That you become too excited and overwhelmed about someone or something because you are about to lose it.""Hmm." I breathed out. "Never heard about that before. But why are you talking about that? Are you thinking I might leave you?""No. I am relating it to how excited I am about getting married to you," he said and took my hand in his. "Are you ready to become Mrs. Adonai and Luna of this pack?""You think I am ready?" I threw back a

    -Adonai- Today is the day I officially get married to Aria. I was sure my face radiated the joy I felt within. I could not hide it.I walked around the building, watching as the maids and guards ran around to put things in order. It is going to be a very big ceremony. Invites have been sent far and near, and all the provinces and clans, big and small packs, would be gathered for the wedding.Werewolves coming from far distances had arrived the night before. Dante approached me with a grimace on his face."So you are finally getting married to Aria," he commented."So am I," I said with the same energy."Well, how does that make you feel?" He wanted to know and I narrowed my eyes at him, trying to discern his reason for asking."Complete, I guess. A man with a family.""Mmm," Dante hummed and nodded. "True.""And after this, you also have to settle down as well. You have a fiancé already, so that wouldn't be hard, I guess?"He chuckled."Well then, after you."While we spoke, alpha Do

    -Aria- My heart skipped a beat when I lifted my eyes to the door and saw Adonai. He walked in with a blank expression on his face, approaching us slowly."Adonai, Zafa here was just telling me that he was leaving the pack. It was what we were discussing before you walked in," I jumped in to explain hurriedly when he had not asked me anything.Adonai did not respond. I tried to read his expression, but he hid it well. He stood beside me and faced Zafa, who looked back boldly as if Adonai had not walked in on us almost about to kiss."Is that so?" Adonai finally spoke, addressing Zafa."It is indeed so," Zafa confirmed, unshaken."But you did not tell me," Adonai said dryly. "You came to my wife to tell her but I am not aware of what is going on.""She was the one that sent for me first," Zafa replied. "And I did plan to tell you, though, she is the reason why I came to this pack. Either way, you would have known anyway."I was worried about the way the two were going. I wouldn't want

    -Aria-I moved away from the view of the window and sucked in a deep breath. I was getting better already, but health came with its problems. I was not on good terms with both Zafa and Adonai, and the two avoided me.I had thought Zafa was acting up because of his feelings for me, but when I found out what happened, it was already too late.I confronted Adonai, too, and now he was upset with me even though he had taken off the sentence on Zafa and he was a free man again. That did not solve anything.And it is funny to think that the wedding ceremony was just in two days and the couple were not talking to each other. Adonai might as well as just call off the wedding for now, or postpone it. I loved him and can not wait to get married to him but at least, not like this."Never have I seen a bride looking like this a few days before her wedding, except, of course, she doesn't love the groom, which is not the case for you," Prisca commented."A lot of things are going on in my head," I t

    -Adonai- I couldn't help the joy that radiated all over me, happy because both Aria and my baby were safe and in good condition. I quickly took my bath so I would return to Aria and spend some time with her. She was all that mattered to me and not this ungrateful pack I led.I would take a break from everything and create a special date for me and her. I have put plans for all the wedding preparations to kick start with immediate effect. I am wasting no time in making her my wife, whether the pack likes it or not.I walked into the room to meet her talking with Prisca, who excused us immediately after I walked in."Hey love," I greeted Aria brightly as I dragged a stool and sat close to her."Hi," her voice was less enthusiastic than before but I decided not to dwell on it."So how are my babies doing," I asked as I rubbed my hands against each other."Good," she answered shortly."Okay..." At this point, I was sure something was wrong. "Is everything alright? Why are you sounding th

    -Adonai- I paused and turned round to behold Aria's questioningly eyes on me and Zafa."Aria?" I called under my breath, unable to believe my eyes even though it was a thing I wanted so badly. I let go of Zafa and he staggered, hitting a table. I care less about him as I hurried to Aria and held her hands. "Aria you are alive.""What happened?" She asked as she tried to sit up."Please don't stress it," I held her back gently. "You have been in a coma for days now.""Coma?" Her eyes widened a bit."Yes," I replied as I explained. "You were poisoned." I turned towards Zafa's direction as I spoke and she followed my eyes."What?...what about my baby?" She suddenly panicked."Hey calm down...""My baby, did....did something happen to it?""Calm down now," I said slowly as I sat beside her on the bed. "Look at me. That is something we don't know for now but the most important thing is you are alive.""No," she shook her head vigorously. "Nothing must happen to my baby.""Come on, we can

    -Dante- If only I had known that killing Dan would make Adonai think of the option of using Zafa, I would have thought of something better. But Dan was a fool and the reason for my hasty decision. I was livid. He dared go behind my back to seek Zafa's help.He must have told him I forced him into it and I cannot have such foolishness go free. My only consolation was that the poison would have done severe damage to Aria by now that there would be no help for her.Let Zafa try all he can, and Adonai try to get all the medicine men he can far and wide, there's nothing that can be done.I have made all my strategies and they are ready now. I have strong support within and outside the pack. This is only but a distraction before I pounce on Adonai finally. He wouldn't be able to fight back because his hold on the pack is weak.Almost all the elders and men in the pack are by my side. I have penetrated them and talked them into believing Adonai was no good anymore. Aria made it even easier
