"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
"We both know that you are in fucking love with me, Alpha Darren Venzor," And that was it for Darren to cross his each and every level and edge of endurance. Her words made him lose it completely and in the worst possible way. He gripped her jaw so aggressively that Aereza felt like he was going to break her jaw at any moment but she did not let that pain reflect on her face. "What happened? The truth fucking hurts," she pressed his already throbbing nerves more. Aereza passed him an iniquitous smirk which made him see red. His eyes shifted into two flaming balls of inferno. His face and ears reddened with fury and rage. His veins popped out on his neck, forehead and palms, indicating how cruelly he was aching to destroy each and every single thing around him. He was throbbing to hurt her. "Your anger is telling me your answer, Venzor," she sniggered at him, knowing how terribly it was affecting him. "I never expected the Alpha of the Blood Night Pack, the cruel and brutally sadist
Blair was walking here and there while staring at the direction of that balcony where she had sent Aereza. It was quite a while but Aereza had still not come back. Her heart was telling her to go there and check on Aereza because she was extremely worried about her but then she remembered, Aereza had requested her to leave her alone, so she didn't want to break into her privacy. Blair was in a dilemma whether to go there or not until….. "Alpha has gone there to meet her," that voice made Blair tilt her head and she caught Rowan before her. She looked here and there and noticed everyone was busy on their own in that celebration gathering. Blair sighed and looked at Rowan. Somehow after their last encounter, Blair's perspective regarding Rowan had changed completely. She was still afraid of being in his presence but now that fear was not uncomfortable, rather that fear had now started giving her the sense of security and safety from the rest of the world. "Can I ask you something?" Bla
