ALPHA KING AIDEN'S POV.There was a bit awkwardness in the air for a while, especially because Aria kept acting like Jamaison wasn't with me.“Try to understand, Jamaison. Hopefully, she'll learn to trust you the way I do.” I patted him as we walked out to the field.“I understand, Alpha.” He uttered.“Alright, so what do you need to tell me?” I asked as we halted in the middle of the field.“Actually, Alpha king Rutherford is meant to be here. I met him when I went out to check a few things.”“He told you he'll be here?” “Yes, Alpha. And it seemed like it was a bit urgent.”I dropped my head down with both my hands on my waist, hoping that things were fine. Then I raised my head up and turned to Jamaison.“Bring me a note. I need to tell Aria to wait for me at Open Mouths.” I instructed him, and he bowed a little and left.Then I looked towards the far end of the field, waiting for King Rutherford to get here. If he sounded urgent and had to come here himself, then it meant that it
ARIA'S POV.“I'm right here, Aria.” I heard his voice from a distance and turned to look in that direction.As I turned to look at him, I also glanced at the direction in which the soothsayer walked away, but she was nowhere to be found.She had walked out of sight before Aoden came in sight. I waited until Aiden got close to me with a smile on his face.“Are you missing me already?” Aiden teased, with a grin.I smiled awkwardly and clutched my fingers unto his clothes. “There's something I haven't told you.” I said to him, and his smile faded away, replaced by a look of seriousness. “What's that, Aria?” He asked, out of concern and then I glanced at the maid who was patiently waiting for us.Aiden understood what I meant, so he told her to move a bit far from where we were. Then we sat.Aiden held my hand, and focused his attention on me, but I wasn't feeling the same enthusiasm I was feeling to tell him, earlier on.So, I decided to reveal a little, instead. “Talk to me, Aria. A
ARIA'S POV.Damn! It was a heavenly place indeed. If I saw the moon goddess sitting comfortably right there, I won't rub my eyes to confirm I was seeing right.It was a great waterfall, surrounded by a vast land, with gardens, butterflies, birds of different colorful feathers, living peacefully.I also noticed that there was a small door, which was certainly leading somewhere else, and my best guess would be somewhere even more heavenly than this place.“Wow. What is this place?” I asked, still filled with surprise.“Well, it's called the “Journey of No Return”.” Aiden replied, not looking excited as he was earlier, to tell the story.“Why is such a beautiful place called the Journey of No Return? Does it mean there is a path here, leading to somewhere else?”“Yes. Many years ago when our ancestors hid right here, they decided to go further to see where the cave ended, and they met with this beautiful sight. Most of them were enthralled by its beauty, and decided to stay there rather
ALPHA AIDEN'S POV.“I'm sure she has gotten the cake and letter by now.” Jamaison said, with a slight smile.“Of course. I just decided to send that letter to her to keep her on her toes. She'll be so excited and her thoughts would be filled with guesses on what plans I have for her.” I spoke, feeling the excitement myself.“It seems to me that you really love her, Alpha.” Jamaison uttered, and I looked at him.“Why did you say so?” I questioned, wondering what could have given it away.“You've never been this excited to do something for a woman before. And right now, it feels like you'll do anything for her.” Jamaison noted.I smacked my lips and let out a sharp breath.“Well, isn't it too early to be so certain?” I spoke, not wanting him to so sure about his assumption.Even just speaking about her, and letting me know his assumptions about the way I feel for Aria, made me feel goosebumps, and more love for her in my heart.“It's just because you've never acted this way to the othe
ALPHA KING RYAN’S POV“Alpha, why do you look so handsome today?” Sophie asked, staring into my eyes as she laid on my laps on the bed.“Well, that’s probably because your beauty is radiating mine.” I replied, and winked at her.Then she slammed her hand on my chest playfully as she chuckled, and blushed.“Oh, come on.”Out of all the ladies which I had brought in to satisfy me, she was the one who did the most, and apart from that, she was just the best, so I tended to use her most of the time. I patted her head as I brushed her hair lightly, and she smiled.“I’m so lucky to be treated specially and uniquely by the Alpha King.” She voiced out as she stared into my eyes.Then I responded to her with a light kiss on her lips, and the atmosphere changed into an intense one, leaving me with a strong desire to bed her again. I pulled down the bed cover which was wrapped around her only to her side. Her medium-sized protruding breasts were tempting me so bad to have them, and before I kne
ARIA’S POV.The next morning, I had my bath and got ready to head out. Since Aiden has decided he wouldn’t tell me whatever is going on, I will mind my business as well. I needed to know more about myself and how to work out my powers, and control it as well.There’s no way I’m going to tell Aiden about this because I need someone I can trust fully, someone who will always be there for me and never give me the cold shoulder. I rose to my feet, and walked out of my room, heading to the kitchen, in search of Portia or the other maid who escorted me to the Open Mouths.Fortunately, I bumped into the other maid.“Hey, you. See me at the garden.” I said to her, and headed to the garden.I didn’t want it to look suspicious as I called her over to follow me out to the garden. On getting to the garden, I turned back to face her.“What’s your name?” I questioned her.“I’m Pauline, miss.” She responded respectfully and I nodded my head in satisfaction of her respect.Studying her, she seemed
ARIA’S POV.Later in the day, just as I had requested, Pauline had brought along a map of the direction to the soothsayer’s home. My face brightened up with a smile as I looked through the map and noticed how detailed it was.There was no way I would get lost with this map.“Hold on. How are you so familiar with this place? You drew it in a really detailed manner.”“I once lived somewhere not too far from the mountains.” She replied, lowering her eyes in respect.“Really? Then why did you leave?” I asked, out of curiosity.Pauline sighed, and her eyes teared up, making me more curious to know what had happened to her.“What’s going on?” I asked, with concern.“I didn’t leave. More like I was saved from such a dangerous place. It isn’t as dangerous as I may call it, but for people like me who barely have our wolves strong, will always see that place as a really dangerous place. That’s where I lost my family.”“What! You lost your family at the mountains?”“Near the mountains. A few of
ARIA'S POV.My eyes widened at his words, but he didn't seem to notice. He simply patted my shoulder twice, still with that poker look on his face. What could I do? What could I say? I watched him walk away, unable to take any line of action.Even if I was to call out to him, what was I to say? I had no excuse for wanting to go outside. When he was long gone, without finishing his meal, I turned around, and made my way back to my room, feeling a little disappointed. I got to my room, and sat on my bed.No, I couldn't just stay home because he asked me to. Punishment or not, I could not afford to spend the next day inside.What about the soothsayer who I needed to visit?No one else would and could go for me. It had to be me. I got up, and began to pace around my room, with one arm folded underneath my breasts, my elbow from the other arm leaning on it, and my thumb nail in my mouth.My thumb nail got chewed mercilessly, as I continued my journey back and forth the length of my roo
