"Alpha King has ordered to take Ellais from you right now because he doesn't trust you with him,"Aereza's body turned into ice, hearing Viviana's words. He doesn't trust her anymore, especially with Ellais? That thought mutilated something really very painful inside her heart. She knew after what she had tried to do last night, it had seriously injured his trust for her and she was not blaming him for it but with Ellais, he knew how much she loved and cared for him then how could he even think about it? That she could harm Ellais in any way, even when she had cleared it for him before that she could never harm and hurt that kid at any cost but still…he was thinking like this?"Give him to me now," Viviana stretched her arms to take Ellais from Aereza's embrace but this time, Aereza shoved her hands away from touching Ellais and stepped back."Ellais is sleeping, so it's better if we don't disturb his sleep," she spat at her because she didn't know whether he trusted her or not anymor
"What the fuck you think of yourself?" Aereza startled, hearing him and the way he was gripping her neck. Her back was pressed against the wall whereas his enormous body was towering over her. His eyes were burning with pure madness and anger. What has gotten into him again? "Firstly you dared to disrespect me in front of Viviana by defying my order of handing Ell to her ….." he paused to bring his face closer to her. He tightened his hold around her neck."And now you decide to show me your fucking bravery by neglecting my command?" He seethed out, glaring hard at her grey orbs."What the fuck you think of yourself so special that I am going to let your fucking defiance and disrespect for me to slide every fucking time?" He shouted at her. Now Aereza finally understood what was the problem here. Blair was right. That woman Viviana has manipulated him against her but how could he believe her so blindly? Aereza turned enraged, especially realising he was trusting that woman more than
"Maa, I will wear this dress for tonight's celebration," Blair told her mother while showing her blue colour gown to her. Her mother smiled and nodded in approval but then her eyes travelled towards Blair's other hand where she caught her holding a black colour gown."And what are you going to do with this one?" Her mother asked, confused."I will give this to Aereza for wearing tonight," she uttered, folding that black gown. Her mother's smile widened. She knew her daughter, Blair, had a very big and warm heart. Her mother again wagged her head."Seems like you both have become really very good friends with each other," Blair giggled at her mother's words. "I don't know about friendship but yes, Aereza is a very kind and genuine hearted person. She might look very cold and rude but once you start understanding her, you will notice how good natured she is," she uttered which made her mother grin."Okay, I will go and give this dress to her. Although I am sure it's going to fit her be
"It's done finally," Blair uttered, getting done designing Aereza's hair. Hearing her, Aereza trailed her eyes towards the mirror and finally looked at her own reflection. Her body was wrapped in that plain black gown which had a shimmering look because of the stones encrusted in it. Her dark long hair was braided and clutched in a beautiful loose bun. Two strands of her hair were bouncing on her bare face which had a natural tint on her cheeks. Her full pink lips were shimmering with a red hue because of the coloured moisturising oil Blair had applied on them. Aereza had barely ever seen herself looking like this because it was the second time she had worn such kind of luxurious clothes. First being at the time of Alexandria's mating ceremony where she had seen him for the second time. She had never cared about her looks or appearance because they never mattered to her because she believed in inner beauty rather than relying on what the world had to say about her physical appearanc
"Aeza, now give our friendship kiss to Darren,"Aereza was stunned completely with that innocent demand of that 5 years old kid because that demand was not so very innocent for her and she knew, even for him. She slowly turned her head and found him staring at her. His expression was unreadable and unidentifiable. What is he thinking? His eyes seemed extremely distant and cold and somehow it managed to hurt her really badly because she was terribly missing seeing that warmth in his eyes for her but she knew she had made him lose it for her on her own but tonight she was going to rectify it and she was sure about that."Aeza, kiss Darren," the kid's voice took her out of her thoughts. She looked at Ellais who was already gazing in between him and her while an adorable pout was ghosting on his tiny face as he was waiting for them to fulfil his wish.Aereza swallowed. She was about to deny him when Darren spoke up"Ell, come to me, buddy. I will tell you something," he said and tried to
"I need to talk to you about something really very important, Darren," Aereza gripped his hand tightly. Her eyes reeked of desperation and restlessness whereas his gaze silently peered at her. Aereza knew she needed to tell him about her curse because that was the only way for them to come out of that pain of distance and indifference and this was the right time because she still didn't know what he was going to announce tonight.Aereza held his hand with both of her hands and opened her mouth to utter."It's something really very important and you need to k…." She stopped from further speaking as she witnessed him taking his hand out from her hold. "For now, nothing is more important than tonight's celebration gathering for me," he stated, staring at her blankly. She would lie if she would say that his behaviour and words didn't hurt her. They stabbed her heart like a sharp dagger.Darren was quick enough to figure out that hurt flashing in her eyes which made him take a step close
"I have chosen Princess Alexandria as my mate and the would be Luna of Blood Night Pack,"As soon as those words escaped from his mouth, Aereza felt a vigorous kind of pang clutching each and every inch of her existence. It felt like a painful blow hitting her heart with no mercy, a sharp sword which pierced deep inside her soul cruelly. Her ears couldn't just believe what they were hearing. Her eyes didn't want to believe what they were seeing. She looked at him with an extremely frozen reaction.Clutching Alexandria's hand in his, Darren took Alexandria to the centre of that hall and then looked all over the crowd who were gazing at them with happy, shocked and mixed emotions."And the night of the next full moon, our mating ceremony will be held," he uttered, loud enough for every single person to hear. The loud sound of applause and cheering started resonating all over that hall as everyone showed their happiness towards their Alpha King, except some very few people.A wide smile
"A very huge congratulations to you for finding your mate, Darren Venzor," her words escaped from her mouth like a venom. Her serene grey eyes gazed at him who was standing in his place with a completely blank and unreadable expression on his face. Aereza turned her body language completely calm and composed because she already identified his real intentions of coming here. Their gazes remained glued with each other. "Took you long enough to accept her but ….." she paused and took a step closer to him. Darren watched the corner of her lips twitching upward into a cunning smirk as she peered at him and stood in front of him. "But you finally did and accepted her as your mate," Aereza uttered while maintaining that wicked grin on her face because she understood he was there to catch her real emotions. He wanted to see her in her vulnerable state. He wanted to find out what exactly she felt for him and that was why he had done all of this, to trigger her real emotions out. Aereza clear
