ARIA'S POV:The scent of warmth, the peace of home. I never thought that I would be able to experience such again. I never thought I'd have a home aside from Nightfang, but turns out I was very wrong.It felt good to have a roof over your head filled with care. I tried to rise from the bed but winced in pain as I tried to stand up."Here, let me help." It was Alpha Anthony. He was still with me."Were you with me the entire night?" I asked him."I couldn't just leave you here alone. I'm never doing that again." He responded, adjusting my pillow and helping me sit up straight. "How are you feeling today?" He asked me concern pouring from his voice.Of course, I was feeling better than I ever had in the last few days. "Better than yesterday," I told him."Is there anything I could get for you?" He asked, pushing my hair behind my ears and covering me with the blanket."Not really," I say. "I'm fine."There was silence. Then he took my hands in his."I'm sorry." he said. "Why do you kee

ARIA'S POV: The least I could let Anthony do for me, was to let his guards escort me to Zilam and then leave. Claire, Anthony and I had spent two days preparing for my return to Zilam. Anthony was still unsure of sending me alone to Zilam. And Claire was rambling on and on about how she wanted to go with me as my personal maid there. I was glad that I had people that cared about me in such a way that was different from the past care and love that Darcy and Logan showed me. Unlike their, this was genuine. And in as much as I was grateful for that, I could not let then get ropes into my fight neither could I let then into my shattered mind. I had to do this on my own. The departure day came faster than usual. I had told Claire and Anthony that all I needed was just a little luggage of not more than a bag. I let him know that I had all I needed at Zilam. There run front of the carriage that had been prepared for me to depart with. Claire hugged me. "I will miss you." She sa

ARIA'S POV: I had almost walked halfway down the hallway when I could not take it any longer. I screamed my heart out causing a stir in the hallway. From the corner for my eyes, I could see the alarm on the faces of the guards, servants and maids in the hallway. I had had enough. Who was she to seduce Logan? Why did she did that to me after all she had promised me back in the days. After all she had said about us being sisters for life and the nonsense about how we would have each other's back no matter what. Instead, I had just found out that she had had a crush on my husband. Rather, ex husband, for the past three years and when she had finally seen an opportunity to get her close to him, she did that without a second thought. I had not heard any she had betrayed me and stolen him from me. I had to asked her and know her answer. Turning around, I headed back to the living room. Barging into the living room, I met Darcy sitting on the couch sipping tea. "Why?!" I asked

ARIA'S POV: "Aria!" Uncle Jeremiah called as I stormed off. "Aria!" He called again coming after me and taking a hold of my arm. "What did you just say?" "You heard me." I replied turning to face him. "What do you mean it ended long time ago?" He asked. Not waiting for a reply, he asked another question. "You two are no longer together?" What did he want to hear from me? I had already summarized everything. "You heard me." I said again through clenched teeth. "When did this happen?" I forcefully unhooked my hand from his. "Excuse me." I said turning away from him, walking towards the pack house. I had no intention of talking about Logan with uncle Jeremiah. Logan was not worth my time. I had told uncle Jeremiah that we were no longer together and it felt like I had one less burden to carry. It felt good. Opening the door to my room,I laid on my bed looking at the ceiling. Just like the others, uncle Jeremiah was saying the same thing. Forget it! How long do I have

ARIA'S POV:He wouldn't even tell me anything. I will regret it. Regret what? What was there to regret that I have not regretted all this time?"Fine." I said to him. But just know that I will keep pestering you until you say everything." I said to him, getting up from the seat he had offered me.I got to the door, turned around, and looked at him. He was still seated, sipping his own cup of tea. He hadn't moved a single muscle when I made a move to take my leave. What a beautiful way to treat your guest!"It was nice meeting you, grandfather." I said to him: He still didn't budge. "Now I know who this mysterious grandfather of mine is." I said, opening the door and banging it behind me.The rain had stopped falling, so I could finally walk home without the fear of catching a cold. The only problem was that I was barefooted in such cold weather, and the floors were muddy and sticky. Before I had taken ten steps from the house in the woods, my feet had become very messy and dirty.I co
