View MoreARIA'S POVWe were in the small room that had served as his grandfather's study, just as he had promised and were flipping through the books.“You know I can do this all alone, yeah?” I asked. I really wanted him to take a break. He was tired and you could tell just by looking at him.He gave me a tired smile. “Two makes the work faster and more effective.” He said then went back to flipping the books.I shook my head, amazed at his persistence, but at the same time worried. “If you actually say so.”We went back to work, continuing to work in total silence when Caden whistled in surprise.I jacked my head up, wondering what was happening and saw his face almost white.“I think you should see this.” He motioned for me to come, his tiredness disappearing like they'd never been present.“What's that?” I was a little bit uncertain about his excitement.“You need to see this.” He said, excitedly and without even waiting for me to get up from where I was scrawled on the floor.He opened th
ARIA'S POVThe air in the manor was colder than usual.Even with the fire blazing in the hearth, I couldn’t shake the chill that clung to my skin, not from outside, but from within. It had been three days since the warning, the warning that had completely derailed my trajectory of thoughts. I'd had no choice but to go to Caden and reveal the things I'd found out that night, including the mark and the strange woman who had refused to tell me her name. And I couldn’t forget the way Caden had looked at me afterward.He didn’t say it aloud, but I saw it in his eyes, the weight of everything he was trying to hold together. The fear he wouldn’t admit. The worry etched into the tight lines of his jaw. His eyes never left me for long these days, as if he were trying to memorize my face in case I disappeared. He had fretted over me and had given Sophia strict instructions not to let me out of her sight. I wandered down the long corridor toward the pack's private training yard, boots silent
ARIA'S POVI couldn't sleep. The wind was howling through my windows, the room eerily quiet.I'd switched on the lights so the room would at least lighten up and I would be able to see whatever thing that crawled on the ground or flew in the air.The star shaped mark was pounding on my arms like it was being triggered, more like breathing. It was as if there was a living being, resting on my arm.Tired of tossing on my bed, I sat up on the edge of the bed, picking up a pillow and wedging it on my lap.Caden had offered to sleep with me in the room but I'd declined.For one, he had a lot of things to do as regards the pack and had been declining them on my behalf. I didn't want him to be behind schedule because of me.The second one was that if he slept in the same room with me, he would most likely notice the mark on my arm. And I wasn't ready to tell him that I'd disobeyed his orders.When Sophia was preparing me for the night, I swore her to secrecy, saying she wouldn't divulge anyt
ARIA'S POVThe forest was unnaturally still. Even though it was chilly, the leaves were not rustiling. It was so quiet as though it was uninhabited by the wolves that stayed close-by.The sun was shining brightly but it looked like the canopy of trees was preventing the sun from making its entrance, making the forest a little too cloudy.The past two days had been me resting in the confines of my room per Caden's instruction. I was tired and the air in my room was now too stale. I needed to explore. And by exploring, I needed to be outside the manor.Frankly, I hadn't been here before. This forest was like a bridge. A bridge between the outside world and the inside world. I felt a pull, one I couldn't quite comprehend.It was as if there was something drawing me here, silently screaming my name and I felt compelled to check whatever it was out.I felt terrified. I was away from the safety of the manor, away from the eyes of Caden and the rest of the pack but I couldn't resist the urge
ARIA'S POV The evening breeze was chilly, the trees clapping and the birds singing. The day was almost over and I'd just retired for the day. Having had my bath and taken my evening meal,I was on the bed in my evening dress reading a novel I'd picked from Caden's library. During the tour, for one reason he hadn't taken me to the library. I'd assumed there wasn't any until we were having a conversation and he'd somehow, casually mentioned it. The library had become my go-to spot ever since. I'd just turned to the next page when I heard a scratch on my door. It looked as if someone was pacing by the door. I wasn't so sure and I wasn't ready to leave the book I was reading to check it out. Scratch. Another movement.Sophia was not here. I'd just told her to retire. I could hear the soft breathing by the door. Someone was clearly there and was carrying out all these theatrics to give me an imaginative dream when I finally fall asleep. I dumped my book and stood up quietly, putt
ARIA'S POVThe grand halls of the manor lined before me. I'd taken my time to prepare before going downstairs. The soft smell of wood and pine wafted through my nose as I made my way downstairs, to the dining hall.Raising my head high and squaring my shoulders, I walked across the corridors, replying with just a mumble to the greetings of the guards and servants that passed me.I could feel their gazes lingering. Some of them were bolder than the others and would just pass without even offering a word of greeting. Not that I cared, or that I would use their greetings for anything, all I wanted to do was to enforce respect and establish my place as the lady of the manor.I adjusted the puffed sleeve of my dress as I stepped into the dining hall, my red heels clicking against the wooden floor with precision.I consciously made sure to keep my head high. Some servants were standing by the adjacent door, speaking in hushed tones.I noticed the girl who had started the rumour in their mid
Aria's Pov; “ Hey Talon you know that I know what you are on.And I am not here for any of that actually.Boy I guess you should actually get serious with this here and try doing something right now, ad doing it right too, enough of ask of the talking already it is already crazy you know I'm not sure I can take any much of it like that.It has gotten real annoying already you know.I can't just wrap my head around this fact that you called me over here to play games, anyways I blame myself for honoring the invitation.I should have just stayed alone with myself.Probably none of this would have happened actually, but then it is all fine actually.I should now take my leave don't you think?”I asked, and he stood to his feet, dropping his wine.“ You dare not. You hear why I say?! You dare not try stepping out of that door for any reason boy, else you get to see that which you don't really feel the need to.I know you know what I am talking about here, but then I know you well son, I k
Aria's Pov;I immediately took to the bedroom I was now in doubt of even myselfAnd I knew that there was something gone amiss somewhere, just that I may have not been able to figure it out just yet.Cause I can tell that his mood is very much unlike him.Very much unlike him in the most part.I really need to uncover all of the problems and know what really has gone wrong in all of this.I sat on a chair, my hands on my head, as I tried to go through my whole life the past week, or the past few days I rather.And from all I could get,I could say I did not really make any much of mistakes in the past yet.I did not do much bad to be honest.Matter of fact I was planning on becoming the best part of myself of trying my best to love him as much as possible.Such was my intention of lately, and while I was finding it a lot hard, but still trying to cope, here comes him with the new energy.Of course I understand that he has been a lot good to me for the most part, but then it is obvious t
Aria's Pov;He got to where I stood, and he placed his hand below my chin, and he raised my face up.“ Now you are making some sense finally, and I would have actually loved for you to hear from the victims themselves.That would have been the best actually, I mean that would have made the most sense to me actually, but then while it was not really possible, I won't mind having to lecture you by myself.”He patted me on the back, and held my hands as he led me out of the dungeon.While I was glad that I had finally gotten out of the room that was filled with such foul smell, and the gnashing of teeth I could not also help but feel pity for all that was in the room, as they were certain never to make it out of the place till they hadanaged to breath their last.That was the only sure possibility for them .As well as taking the most difficult path the world beyond.There was just no form hope whatsoever for them, as it was actually very pitiable to think of.We had gotten out of the h
Aria's POVIt was back again, the dream, it was as vivid as ever. I could see flames licking the shadows of those trying to put it out and there was that overwhelming scent of smoke and iron that engulfed me where I was rooted.I was always standing helplessly, not offering help or getting help. The helplessness clawed at my chest as my pulse raced, I tried reaching out as always, a struggle to move and just be close to them. To help them in my little way but slowly their faces, my parents blurred out before me as their terrifying sharp scream plunged and twisted my heart in pain. It hurts! Then the struggle to do something became intense as I shouted at the top of my voice then I heard it, loud and clear in my head…I was brought back to reality by the piercing sound from the metal gong alarm, I jolted upright with my heart pounding as I gasped for air in my small cramped frigid room. I was sweating profusely as the familiar shiver of disappointment hit and washed over me as I looked...
