Who do you think is in the castle waiting for them?
Aria POVShe died in my arms. I never knew her but I was sure she didn’t deserve to die like this. She was a sweet girl who smiled shyly at me. What the hell happened? She was just here a second ago. The white dress that I wore was now soaked in her blood. Before I could even stand up or say anything, Klaus gripped my hand, along with Trinity and teleported to our bedroom in the castle. BANG … BANG … BANGWe heard the sound of gunshots coming from downstairs. Klaus stiffened next to me and stood up abruptly.“Don’t you dare leave me here” I glared at him. I knew what he was about to do. He just looked at me hesitantly. Then we teleported downstairs. We found 3 dead bodies, one of them had already shifted.“This is weird. It’s only in the castle. Nothing is outside.” Klaus sounded next to me. I turned to him and remembered: “Kathrine?”Klaus mindlinked her and I tuned in“Mother”“Klaus, you’re a here”“What happened? Where the hell is Sam? I can’t reach him”“Humans came in armed and
Aria POV“Damn it” I thought to myself. Klaus looked at me and I let Lucas go. He took long and deep breaths before standing up with difficulty.“I won’t take pity on you like last time Lucas” Klaus warned him and took off his shirt, showing his well toned muscular physique. He stood just in his jeans and he was already barefoot when we teleported back. “You two fought before” I mindlinked Klaus and I saw glimpses of their past fight in his memory. Klaus blocked me out after saying: “I can’t focus with you in my head like this. Not yet at least”The two of them stood in front of each other like I did with Marcus. “Challenges have to be witnessed by the pack,” Klaus said and shifted. He raised his head up and started howling, summoning the whole pack to him. Within seconds, they started to teleport in one after the other. The first one to arrive was Kathrine. When she saw them standing like this, she understood what was about to happen. She teleported one more time and stood right
Klaus POVI didn’t want to kill him. I hated to do what I just did. Last time I fought with him I was angry when I found his sister naked in my bed and almost killed him when he defended her. This time, Natalie has pushed him and me way too far. She truly was stupid, selfish and I would also say obsessed. “NATALIE” I called out her name and waited. It took her a full minute to come and stand in front of me with her head down. “Yes, alpha” her low and obedient voice sounded.“I hope you’re happy with what you’ve done” she looked at her brother's dead body and tears rolled down her cheeks. “I thought you’d be more reasonable and give up on the shit in your head but apparently you didn’t and pushed your brother to his death”I looked at Sam who was in a very bad shape, remembered Trinity’s panicked face right before she died, and the other 3 guards who died defending my mother. This was all her doing. I knew Lucas was a peaceful soul and would never want to engage in a challenge with
Klaus POVI laid down in bed with Aria’s head on my chest and arm around me. I took it all out on her. I wanted her to stay away from me till I calmed down but the stubborn woman she was, she didn’t wait. I couldn’t control myself or how hard I was on her. The second I was inside her, I let go of all the frustration that was piled up inside me. She winced a few times in pain but didn’t say a thing and I couldn’t hold back. She was fast asleep and I couldn’t get my eyes to close for a minute. Every time I did, I saw the two staring angrily at me for taking their lives.I slipped my arm from under her and walked out on the balcony. The sun was slowly shining on the horizon when I shifted, jumped off the balcony and ran away. The breeze still had the coldness of the night as it blew in my face. I passed a few guards on my way and others who were starting their day. I didn’t know where I was heading. All I wanted was to run away from everything that chained me back. “Klaus” Aria called m
Aria POVI stood in front of the door with the key in my hand and couldn’t get myself to go in. There was something inside that I needed but I was scared. I thought that if I got in I would see them slaughtered again.“Are you okay?” Elijah stood behind me next to the car waiting for me. He didn’t know about them and I couldn’t talk about them with anyone other than Klaus.I nodded my head, inserted the key and stepped in. The house was completely silent and dark. It looked like a haunted house in a horror movie. It was still the same as I left it, nothing changed. Slowly and hesitantly I walked up the stairs. With every step I took, my heart raced inside me. I didn’t know I was crying till my tears fell onto my hands as I opened their bedroom door.“Aria” Klaus’s voice sounded behind me and I just turned around to find myself in his arms. His warmth wrapped me and I stuttered to say: “I want to … get .. something”He patted my back, kissed my forehead before saying: “It’s okay. I’m h
Two weeks ago Klaus POV I stood in front of the huge window in my office with the ipad in my hand. There was another article about me and Aria. This time, it showed pictures of us in Greece. I made sure we were photographed numerous times and gave them to Sam’s assistant to post them. She did a great job. I scrolled down and saw a picture of Aria smiling lovingly while listening to what I was saying as we walked on the beach, another one while we were shopping and we both had our hands full with bags. It looked like a honeymoon. Suddenly Sam barged into the office out of breath: “We lost the Wilson ship” I turned back and the ipad dropped on the floor: “WHAT?” “What the fuck happened?” I walked towards him. “Piracy” Sam said and I just knotted my brows confused, I never had any problem like this with any of the ships before. If I lost the Wilson business deal, It would definitely affect my stock price and my reputation. “Get the lawyer on the phone, we are supposed to have in
Aria POVI finished my hair and make up with minimalist care. I was distracted by Klaus and what he had suffered during the last weeks. His business was at risk and I felt the helplessness he felt all this time. Carl escaped or someone helped him escape. What intrigued me was the card that was sent to Klaus. Who could have sent it and why? What did everything have to do with me?I walked into the closet, grabbed a dress and put it on. I walked out of the room, down the stairs and Elijah was there waiting for me. “What took you so long?” He got bored waiting for me. I forced a smile at him and said: “Lets go”Elijah opened the door for me and the moment I stepped outside, Klaus screamed inside my head: “ARIA, Where are you?”“Home. What is it?” He freaked me out. His stress skyrocketed again and it immediately poured inside me. I furrowed my brows and started to panic. He teleported right in front of me and I saw his unfocused eyes. Elijah was startled and asked: “What happened?”Klau
Aria POV I stepped out of the shower room and searched for my robe that hung on the wall before walking out of the bathroom. The darkness was unsettling and I had a bad feeling. “Magy” I called her name as I stepped out of the bedroom and walked down the stairs. She didn’t answer. “Magy” I shouted louder this time but again, complete silence. “Where the hell is she?” I thought to myself. I grabbed onto the rail until I reached down the stairs. SMAAAAASSSH Suddenly I heard the loud sound of glass smashing on the floor. It came from the kitchen. Then there was the rumbling of other things falling on the ground. It sounded like there was a fight going in there. I took two steps towards the kitchen then stopped. “Klaus” I mindlinked Klaus, but he blocked me. I knotted my brows, we agreed not to do that. I stood frozen in my place and tried not to allow panic to take over me. THUD… Something heavy fell to the ground and then I saw someone come out of the kitchen. A dark figure appear
Klaus POV“Wolf’s bane”He threw wolf’s bane powder to my face. He knew he couldn’t win and decided to play dirty. He was such a lowlife person with no morals or dignity to face me. Instantly, I dropped to my knees struggling to breathe. While, Kaden stood next to me looking down at me with a disdainful smile on his face; “Forgot to tell you that my mother was a witch and she taught everything”He started circling around me one more time as I tried my best to calm down and limit the wolf’s bane effect on me to stay awake. I held my breath so as not to inhale more of the powder and paralyze my body.“You see, she taught me how poisonous the wolf’s bane is to your kind and how to use it to my benefit” he said and I tried to stand up, i needed to walk out of this spot to be able to breathe some fresh air. Before I could do it, he punched me hard in the face and I dropped back on the ground. Pain shot through my body, Then he started kicking me with his foot ferociously. He was angry, fru
Klaus POVAnother lost, forgotten and unwanted memory flooded inside my head. I wasn’t feeling good at all. I felt weak and vulnerable and those were new feelings to me. I have always buried my feelings deep inside and never looked back no matter what happened. I have always been strong and ruthless but ever since I got Aria in my life I have experienced all other types of emotions. Aria stared at me and I knew that she could feel everything that was going on inside me at this very second. For a moment, I didn’t want her to see me like this but there was nowhere to hide from her. She was my soul. Within a second, she numbed all my emotions, took all the depression and stress away. I didn't feel bad nor good. Just nothing at all. A weak smile found its way to me, she always does this when she tries to hide using her powers on me. She pressed her forehead against mine and said: “Let's go back to bed”Obedintly, I nodded my head and we both stood up and walked out of the bathroom. We cha
Klaus POVI had nothing to say to Aria. Not because I didn’t want to tell her, no, because I didn't know how to explain to her that I could feel my dead brother whom I killed years ago watching me. His scent, that I get every now and then, was driving me out of my mind. The first time I recognized it was back in Paris and it never left me afterwards. I asked Sam to make sure that he was really dead back then. Days later, Sam assured me that he was dead for sure and couldn’t find anything. It was like fire in my bones and I didn’t know how to deal with it but with what was going on with Aria and me I didn’t give much attention to the whole thing. Till now, I felt him staring at us inside my own bedroom and I just lost control. I jumped right off the balcony like a mad wolf. Even Though we searched the whole land and we didn’t find anything, I couldn’t feel peace. I looked at Aria who sat next to me completely drenched and she just looked back at me waiting for me to talk. She pulled he
Aria POVI opened my eyes gradually as I felt every bone in my body ache. The strength king Henry used was too much for me to tolerate. I wanted to raise my hand and touch my throbbing head but couldn’t. I turned my head to the side and saw Klaus sitting next to the bed, fast asleep while holding my hand tightly. “Klaus” I called out his name with a parched voice and tried to pull away my hand. His eyes snapped wide open and he stared at me. “Aria” he stood up and sat on the bed next to me. He caressed my cheek softly asking: “Are you okay?” he stared at me and I was immediately pulled into his soul. I could feel his worry rising like a Tsunami wave.I nodded my head and sat up: “I just have a headache”He sighed in relief and hugged me. I pressed my lips together in pain but quickly hid it from him. My whole body was in pain. “That’s fine. He didn’t hurt you, did he?” He let me go and stared at me. I didn’t want to answer this.“What did he want?” I asked curiously, changing the s
Before starting this chapter, I would like to thank you all for reading my book and I eagerly wait for your comments and reviews.. also note that I might edit the chapters again for mistakes and minor editions. =============================================== Aria POV I grabbed a dress that was in the closet and put it on. It was a little big but it’s better than nothing. My clothes were no longer usable. I stood in front of the bed and watched Klaus sleep peacefully. He looked like he didn’t sleep for weeks and I didn’t want to disturb him. The moment I felt his mind again and his soul poured inside mine, I was relieved. I didn’t hide my feelings from him, I let him feel how shattered I was and how messed up I had become. “Will I ever recover from this?” I thought to myself as I took a deep breath. I wanted to stop feeling bad about James but couldn’t because I didn’t feel bad about him, I felt bad for myself. I didn’t know I could be so uncontrollably powerful. Never thought that
Aria POV I poured it all into him. He felt every second of torture that he inflected on me and even more. I didn’t hold back or even feel pity for him. He deserved it. I was about to feel his heart stop from fear and pain when King Henry stopped me. He snapped his fingers and I lost total control over my power. “Aria” he roared my name and I turned my head towards him. He glared at me and I just looked down at James. He gasped loudly for air and laid down on the floor, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. He stared at nothing without saying a word. King Henry stepped down the stairs of his throne and stood right in front of me and I couldn’t hold back: “My King, you’ve heard everything. Everyone here heard it and it’s only fair that I kill him myself” I walked towards James, grabbed his hair and pulled it hard, showing his face to the King saying: “He has to feel everything I felt when he lashed me with his belt, 10 fucking lashes marked my body, and when he raped me, taking the l
Aria POV “No problem, you can use me” Sam said next to me and I snapped my head towards him in confusion. He smiled at me and moved towards Mika: “I had it in my hands for a long time. I am sure she could use me to look for it” “That’s easy” Mika said and sat down on the ground in the middle of the flowers: “I need you to lay down here” Sam sat down, laid down in front of her and she closed her eyes and rubbed her fingers on his temples saying: “Calm down and take a deep breath” Sam complied and took a deep breath in. “Now, Think of it. The last day you had in your hands. The place you were at. Who did you meet. I need you to visualize the whole thing inside your head and focus on it and then I will do the rest” We all stood still and stared at them without blinking. No one dared to even breathe, waiting in anticipation. It took her 15 minutes to open her eyes and all she said was one word: “Pants” Sam opened his eyes right after and stood up asking: “Which pants?” Mika shrugged
Klaus POV I was standing facing the door with an anxious heart and scared soul, when it opened and the guards stepped inside: “Your presence is needed alpha Klaus. Please follow us” They walked out and so did I. Finally, I was out of those four walls that drove me crazy in the past weeks. The guards took the stairs up from the palace underground prison and I followed to the great hall. The second I raised my head up I was startled. I saw Aria standing next to Sam, Elijah, Tory and others from Black who nodded their heads at me and there were new faces that I never saw before. Then I turned to the other side where James, and the whole of his pack stood. King Henry sat on his throne in the middle. I stood in front of him, surrounded by the guards. He nodded his head at them and they retreated to the side where alpha Franklin, Alec and Fay stood. I stared at them for a few good seconds. They were the packs that sided with James. I was still blocked, I tried to mindlink Aria and couldn’
Aria POVWe all stared at them carefully, counting the seconds and watching every move. We have been training day and night for this moment.The right moment…The moment when James jumped up in the air and aimed at me, it reminded me of the night when I attacked him outside of my building and Klaus saved me. But This time was different. He was different and I was different.The second he did. Zed knew what to do and he didn’t hesitate, just like we practiced countless times before. I was impressed by him, the 16 year old young boy that I found hiding in the woods. At first, he was scared and didn’t want to help or even talk to anyone but I just touched his emotions and assured him that no harm would come to him. His powers were truly magnificent and he was completely right to hide but not any more. It was time to show off what he could do and people should fear him and not the other way around.We all watched James fly up in the air and at the same time Zed came forward a few steps, k
