ARIA'S POV.This was shameful, and painful. I tried to find a way to escape the pointy spear, but then, it seemed so much like my body had given into weakness.“Stop!” I heard Alpha Dylan order, and they retreated, and bowed to him.I let out heavy breaths, and the pain that spiraled in my heart made me feel too shameful to look anywhere else apart from the sky.“Oh my. Poor girl. If she can't sixty percent skillful, then how on earth is fit to be a Luna.” I heard one of the noblemen whisper.This nobleman was definitely not close enough, but I didn't understand how I could hear a lot of their murmurs.Although, I was so curious to know about what they thought of me since I lost.“That's sort of a disgrace.” Another said.Then I found the courage to turn my head towards Alpha Dylan and Aiden. Aiden had this concerned look on while Alpha King Dylan stared at me like I was a lowly creature.“This has come to an end, my people. It was still great to watch.” Alpha King Dylan spoke, and A

ALPHA KING RYAN'S POVThe step I had taken was quite the best for now, since I can't tell what Aria is capable of presently.Someone like Alpha King Dylan would believe what I said about Aria. Although, I had not said anything in straight words, but what I had said is enough to make him feel a bit weary and even make him find it difficult to trust Aria.~flashback~“Aria isn't someone you can trust wholeheartedly if she ever comes to you. There's something about her which I haven't figured out. But one has to be careful.” I said to Alpha King Dylan.“Really? What could be scary about that young woman? She looks feeble, and her family are dead.” Alpha King Dylan uttered, almost chuckling out.“That's exactly what she would use to deceive anyone, but that won't be me. I just came here to let you know that she can't be taken lightly as there's something mysterious about her.” I spoke, then rose to my feet to leave.~back to reality~I smirked, and cleaned the part of my lips where the wi

ARIA’S POV.~FLASHBACK~I stepped out of the bathroom, after taking an afternoon shower. I wrapped a cotton cloth around me, and began to dry my hair in front of my dressing mirror. Shortly, I heard a knock on my door, and turned. "Who's there?""It's Jamison…" I didn't even need to hear the rest. I shot up from my seat, and pushed open my wardrobe to get anything to pull on.I wore a light brown gown, with spaghetti straps, as that was the first, and easiest one I could lay my hands on.It went over my head easily, and I took off the cotton cloth I had wrapped around my body. I pulled out my hair from inside my cloth, and went to the door, opening it wide. His eyes fell on my body immediately, and I could see him absorbing in the little bubbles of water on my shoulders, and my hair which still stuck to my skin in some places. His eyes went down my body uncomfortably, and I was aware that the gown was quite exposing around my shoulders, and chest. It made me want to wrap my arms

ARIA’S POVWhat I had thought, happened in a trance had actually happened in reality; only that in reality, it was just Jamison who had experienced the aggression of my powers. I quickly ran to him as he fell to the ground.“Are… are you okay?” I asked him, out of concern.Although, I wasn’t interested in anything about him, but as long as I was the one who sort of caused him pain, I needed to be concerned about this. He held his stomach down with his right hand, and gritted his teeth as he squeezed his eyelids.“I’m fine. You don’t’ have to worry. I wasn’t just prepared to shield myself against the force.” He said as he managed to rise to his feet.“What happened here?” Aiden questioned, while walking towards us with curiosity growing in his eyes.“It’s nothing. We were just practicing, and she’s gotten quite better.” Jamison spoke before I could say anything.“But you look hurt.”“That should be good news, Alpha.”How was that supposed to be good news when I had just hurt him. For

ARIA'S POV..I stared at him, unable to take my eyes off him. He was staring right back at me with a weird look in his eyes which I couldn't comprehend. I had expected him to be there. I knew he would try to come and see things for himself. The Kings who had refused to be won over by us had probably given him updates about what we were trying to do.There could be no other reason for his coming uninvited. He stared at me as I walked on the purple carpet, but I took my eyes off him. I didn't have the time to keep staring at him. There were other things to focus on. The people all bowed, except the important Kings and their Queens. I walked towards Aiden who was waiting for me on his large throne seat, with a smile. He looked pleased with what he saw. I joined him on the seat next to him which was meant for me, and sat. "You look beautiful tonight." He complimented me, and I blushed. The people gave their greetings to me, and one of the men, standing on my right to give me anything I
