CHAPTER 21

ARIA'S POVI was taken aback by his question. A lump formed in my throat and I averted my gaze, staring at nothing specific. “Your majesty, pardon but I wouldn't want that for myself.”Zavier looked at me in amusement, a glint appeared in his eyes and he asked. “May I know why?”I reluctantly met his gaze firmly, to indicate how serious I was. “I want to be free, your majesty.”His brows furrowed and I realised I hadn't given context of what I meant. He was probably thinking I wanted freedom from him. Which I didn't.“Not from you,” I say hastily and watch his tense muscles relax. “I would be most unhappy if I stay an object to be taken advantage of. But trust me, Your majesty, I would willingly be with someone I really love.”When I could be free, why be a breeder who sits around making babies? Royal babies for a man that may not want me.Zavier, who had been listening intently, chuckled lightly at my confession and I couldn't help but notice the dimples digging his cheeks. Why did h

Chapter 22

ARIA'S POVClaude's attention was fixed on Irish and although she claimed she didn't like either of the twins, I could see her entertaining it. I grinned slyly. “It's fine Beta Claude. You don't have to go with me, I'll be fine by myself.”He tore his gaze from Irish. “Are you sure, My lady?”“Absolutely,” I said and hurried to my feet.Beta Claude stopped me. “Please wait, my lady. Let me get Beatrix to accompany you, or the Alpha won't let me see the light of day.”Irish sniggered.***I enjoyed Beatrix's company because she didn't ask many questions and she only spoke when necessary. “This is the garden, all the flowers are well tended for by the gardener, Felipe. He calls them his green children.”I chuckled and stared round the beautiful garden. It was coloured and I couldn't stop myself from picking a flower. It was an hibiscus. I inhaled it. “All the flowers are colourful, why does he choose to call them a specific colour?”“He once said, green is the colour of our world and gr

CHAPTER 23

ZAVIERI watched Aria from across the dining hall, her every movement captivating my attention. She seemed both shy and embarrassed as I pulled her towards me, inhaling deeply the intoxicating scent that clung to her skin. Her scent was all I needed.For now."You smell so good, so fragrant," I whispered, my lips brushing her ear. I felt her shiver, her body stiffening in my arms.I had that effect on her all the time.“Thank you,” she whispered.The betas, Claude and Callister, and the senior healer, Irish, observed us, their eyes flicking between Aria and me.Aria broke out of my hold, her cheeks flushed with a mix of emotions. She took her seat, casting a wary glance around the table. I couldn't help but notice the way Claude's hand crept towards Irish's thigh under the table. With a sharp smack, she slapped his hand away, glaring at him."Behave," I ordered, my voice cold and commanding. Claude looked suitably chastised, retreating from his attempts.Aria picked at her food, her m

CHAPTER 24

ARIAThe dinner had ended on a sour note, leaving me both annoyed and perplexed. King Zavier’s perception of me was entirely baffling. His piercing eyes, which seemed to see right through me, had lingered just a moment too long, and his dismissive comments about my abilities had stung more than I cared to admit. I pushed the thoughts away, trying to shake off the frustration that clung to me.Everyone left the table till it was just us. I glared at him wondering why a woman had to only take a stroll. It wasn't even something significant.Anyone could take a stroll, at least I was grateful he even let me walk with my legs. He could also ask the guards to carry me on their shoulders if he wanted.That was something someone else would appreciate but not me. I liked being busy. If I kept up with the way he wanted things to be, I'd be useless soon. And I didn't want that for myself.“Aria,” he called my name softly, his eyes piercing into mine as though he was trying to read me.I looked

CHAPTER 25

ARIAI woke with a start, a feeling of elation coursing through my veins. My wolf, Celine, had had the most restful sleep in weeks. Her excitement was palpable, a giddy sensation that made my heart race.“Our mate will love us properly,” she whispered in my mind, her voice filled with eager anticipation.I rolled my eyes, though a small part of me couldn't help but feel a flicker of hope. The idea of having a mate who would cherish and protect me was alluring. Yet, I couldn't afford to lose myself in those dreams. There were more pressing matters at hand. Things I needed to handle on my own.Pushing aside my mixed feelings, I focused on my plan. Celine stirred, sensing my resolve.“Why are you so determined to train, Aria?” she asked, concern tinged with curiosity.I took a deep breath, ready to explain my reasoning once more. "My superpowers won't develop if I don't hone my other skills. We need to be strong, capable of defending ourselves.”“But what about the king?” Celine's tone w

CHAPTER 26

ARIAThe healer's words echoed in my mind, confirming what I had suspected: everyone else knew about the upcoming ball except for me. I sat in my chamber, staring out the window, my thoughts everywhere. The maid entered, carrying a tray with afternoon tea.“My lady, tea,” she said.“Thank you, please just drop it on the table. I'll take it later.”She did as she was told but said, “Please do take it now, my Lady. It tastes better when it's hot. Cold tea isn't right.”I smiled at her. “Thank you Beatrix. I'll take it before it gets cold.”“Very well, My lady,” She said and bowed.“Beatrix,” I called, halting her footsteps.She turned around, “Yes, Lady Aree. Is there something you need?”I took a deep breath, deciding to ask her directly."Is there going to be a ball in the palace?" I asked, trying to keep my tone casual.The maid hesitated, her eyes darting away. "Yes, Lady Aria, there will be.”"Why wasn't I notified?" I pressed, a sense of unease growing within me.She shifted uncom

CHAPTER 27

ZAVIERThe cold water cascaded down my body, each droplet a welcome distraction from the constant whining of my wolf. He was restless, agitated, longing to be closer to our mate. I tried to ignore him, focusing instead on the physical sensation of the shower.How stubborn were wolves? Sometimes I wished I could silence him but he was too loud, too dominant to be shushed.“We need to be near her,” my wolf pleaded, his voice a persistent whisper in the back of my mind.“Didn't you feel her fear?” I countered, hoping to quell his urgency. “She gets scared whenever I'm close to her and I don't wanna come off as a pervert.”‘Then do something to please her, something gentlemanly.” he urged. She needs to know we care and we love her.’I clenched my jaw, the steam from the shower rising around me. Being the most powerful being in the country, I was not accustomed to pandering to anyone, not even my own mate. This was new and uncomfortable territory for me.I couldn't do more if she didn't gi

CHAPTER 28

ARIAI spent most of my days practising my superpower. It worked mostly when I was scared but whenever I wasn't, it took longer to activate.Today, I managed to stay invisible for a full three minutes which set a new record for me. I praised Celine and she seemed really excited for me. I felt a sense of accomplishment but also an overwhelming anxiety. I dared not venture too far from my chamber, lest someone notice my absence.As I wandered the palace corridors, invisible, I noticed unfamiliar faces carrying giant cases. Curious, I followed them, my heart racing with both excitement and wonder.Whatever was in the gold case would be important because I never got to see these people all the time.Still invisible, I followed them with a speed as I tried to keep up with their pace.We climbed up the stairs till we got to the breeders quarters. They delivered the cases to the breeder candidates, who were busy selecting clothes and makeup for the upcoming ball. Il stayed outside their roo

CHAPTER 29

ZAVIERI was in the midst of training, my muscles straining with each precise movement. The head of my warriors, General Darius, approached me with a solemn expression. His report on the training progress over the past few weeks was thorough, but my mind kept wandering back to Aria. Her recent encounter with one of my warriors still irked me.“Your Majesty,” Darius began, “the warriors have shown remarkable improvement. Their skills—”“Excellent,” I interrupted. “But remember, Darius, keep the warriors from wandering around the palace after they get off duty.”Darius’s eyebrows knitted in confusion, but he nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty.”He had no idea my order stemmed from that incident with Aria. I couldn’t risk her safety or the rumours that might spread. It was better this way.“I have another mission for you,” I continued, shifting the topic. “Guard the ball with utmost diligence. Select the most faithful warriors for duty that night.”Darius looked intrigued. “May some warriors tak

CHAPTER 30

ARIAI had experienced my share of uncomfortable moments, but this one was by far the most awkward and nerve-wracking. The grand ball was fast approaching, and I was desperate to get a glimpse of the breeders' preparations. I had heard rumours about their elaborate rituals and was curious to see if they were true. However, my curiosity had led me to a perilous situation– I had been caught spying.The breeders’ room was filled with she-wolves meticulously preparing for the ball, each one more stunning than the last. Their gowns shimmered under the soft light, and the air was thick with the scent of various perfumes. I had been hiding behind a partially opened door, trying to absorb every detail, when I felt a cold chill run down my spine. One of the she-wolves had noticed the door was ajar and was approaching to investigate.Panic surged through me. I knew I had to act quickly. Summoning all my strength, I focused on my ability to become invisible. It was a skill I had been honing for
