He Was Different

ARIA

.

The silence in the carriage had been so uncomfortable that I was avoiding eye contact with him like the plague. Sometimes during the journey, I would feel his eyes on me as though he wanted to start a conversation but he didn’t know how to. It was strange albeit exciting and scary that I was going somewhere with a handsome Alpha King of whose name I didn’t even know.

His kingdom was quite close to Ryan’s so we got there that same day. That made me wonder if it seemed like they were foes. I knew when Ryan didn’t like someone. He would give them the stink eye and scowl at them as well. The crazy part is that wasn’t the look he gave me. It was the look of hatred and disgust which made me wonder how he changed so much. This Ryan wasn’t the Ryan I had fallen in love with.

I think I always knew he was like that, just not to me. Ryan was always rude and wicked to slaves. I never really did anything about it and that’s why the other slaves hated me as well when I got into their shoes.
