Aria"Why is Alpha Bryant in Esterial?" Aria asks Prince Zane. although that wasn't what she truly wanted to say. strangly she felt the need to reassure Prince Zane that alpha Bryant having a mate means nothing to her. They were both trying to let the matter die off. bringing it back again was a bad idea. even though Aria knew that she still couldn't stop herself from gently grabbing Prince Zane's arm, "I don't care if alpha Bryant has another mate, the only reason I was asking was because I wanted to know if Jenny was the one with him." Aria felt too open with her feelings toward Prince Zane. He probably didn't care about her explanation, after all, he didn't have any feelings for her. so why was she trying so hard when her words didn't matter to him? Prince Zane gently removes Aria's hold from his arm. "He said that he's following the trails of some werewolf that went missing from his pack years ago." Prince Zane said. ignoring Aria's words about alpha Bryant mate. 'I shouldn't h
Aria"It's not your fault." Aria was surprised by Prince Zane's voice, was he trying to comfort her? "And besides blaming yourself now isn't going to change anything." Aria turned her eyes towards Prince Zane whose blind gaze was away from her. "alpha Bryant didn't come to Esterial to look for you anyway. if he was here for you then we could both agree that it is your fault." Prince Zane turned to Aria and gave her a little smile. just when Aria thought that he was being sweet, he ruined it. "Nadia couldn't get to you on time when I instructed her to keep you away from Alpha Bryant." Prince Zane said. "By the time she got to where you were, alpha Bryant had already seen your face, there was nothing she could do other than to secretly watch you from the shadows. the guard that had luckily showed up that day was because she was quick enough to act fast by directing them there because alpha Bryant could think of doing something stupid." Aria wanted to doubt what Prince Zane said b
Aria"I don't think your plan is going to work," Aria said. she wasn't even sure what Prince Zane planned on doing, but she felt uncomfortable with the idea of him, handing her over to Alpha Bryant.'trust in him.' Aria thought to herself. she needed to believe in Prince Zane and not let his words put doubt in her mind. he had protected her from alpha Bryant before, surely he wouldn't let his effort go to waste. "it is not a plan." Prince Zane said. he was irritated with Aria's words. Aria could tell that he didn't like failing in anything he did. so her telling him that something wasn't going to work was a bad idea. "Oh," Aria said, she wanted to ask him about his deal with Alpha Bryant but she didn't know how. "I'm not going to give you away to alpha Bryant." Prince Zane said with a stern voice. Aria felt a little warm by his words. it gave her hope that maybe he wanted her by his side forever. but did she want that? "the fake deal I made with that alpha idiot was just to slo
AriaAria was in Prince Zane's office while he carried out his boring work with Nadia. She got too bored of staying in the room with Erika. just because Alpha Bryant was in Esterial, didn't mean that she had to lose her mind because of him. 'I wonder if King Kaida planned on doing anything about Alpha Bryant.' Aria thought. She wanted to ask Prince Zane, but she didn't because King Kaida was still silent about the whole situation. She stretched out her legs as she adjusted herself on the chair, staying in Prince Zane's office was no different from staying in the room. it felt worse because Nadia kept giving her a certain look that said that she wasn't welcome, as though Aria was only a burden to Prince Zane. "Prince Zane." Aidan quickly came into the office, a certain edge in his voice. 'what happened to him?' Aria thought as she sat upright and paid attention to Aidan. it felt as though something interesting was finally about to happen."I have been keeping an eye on Alpha Bryant
AriaAria anxiously waited for Prince Zane. She was in a secluded part of the palace. There was no guard or maid in sight because Prince Zane gave them an order that drove everyone working in that area away. Aria didn't know where Prince Zane sent them, but at the moment she didn't care, all she cared about was the plan she made with Prince Zane.Prince Zane came in out a secret door that led outside the palace. "How was it," Aria asked, eager to know if their temporary solutions to Alpha Bryant were going well. "Aidan and Nadia have successfully moved that useless mutt out of the palace." Prince Zane said. 'yes!' Aria thought, their plans to kidnap Alpha Bryant and secretly keep him in town were a success. Aria walks together with Prince Zane, "were they able to get a silver rope?" Aria was still a little bit worried that something might go wrong, if alpha Bryant was to link with his mate and tell her that he was in trouble, then everything would be over. "he can't be tied up wi
Aria"where's Aidan and Nadia?" Aria asked. she couldn't find them in Prince Zane's office. Prince Zane had sent Erika to call her to his office, usually, he sent Nadia. "They are somewhere doing something important for me." Prince Zane said, he got up from his seat close to his desk and sat down next to Aria, a serious expression on his face.Aria didn't bother asking him any further questions about his two guard dogs. regardless of how close she thought she was to him, Aria thought that it could never be the same as Aidan and Nadia.Prince Zane trust those two with secrets he could never tell her. Aria was sure that he trusted them with his life."you ask for me?" Aria asks, she still hasn't figured out why Prince Zane wants to see her. "yes. I don't think it will be good for us if we were to prolong this issue for too long." the only issue Aria could think of was alpha Bryant, but he was gone now, so what was bothering Prince Zane? "Is this about alpha Bryant?" Aria decided to
Aria Prince Zane's words hang heavily in the air. Aria froze at his words. She couldn't believe it, those two words were something she had never let herself dream of him asking her.the idea of it was simply impossible, just the way it was impossible for her to live her whole life as a human, pretending as though her wolf wasn't there. Aria stared at Prince Zane. he couldn't move the same way she couldn't move, as though they had been stuck together in time. Aria wasn't going to ask him again what he said, it was simply impossible, and if he was to deny his words then it was going to be embarrassing for Aria. it was going to feel as though she let out a hidden desire she had never allowed herself to have. "Marry me." Prince Zane said again, more firmly this time. he moves closer to Aria. All she could do was watch him with eyes that were full of disbelief.'I am not dreaming.' Aria thought to herself. Prince Zane's proposal was real. there was no doubt about what she heard from hi
Aria "congratulations lady Aria, our next queen of Esterial," Brunhilda said with a wide smile. Aria stops reading her book and looks at Lady Brunhilda like a deer that had been caught in a headlight. "How... how did you know." Aria was surprised that she knew of Prince Zane's proposal. She hadn't told anyone yet. not even Erika. "I thought we both agreed that we were going to talk to her about it after your lesson was over," Erika said to Lady Brunhilda. lady Brunhilda had a disagreeing look on her face. "I can't wait till then, besides, don't pretend as if you are not dying to know how Prince Zane's propose as much as I am." 'Erika knows too.' Aria was surprised, it had only been a day since she had agreed to marry Prince Zane. "tell us lady Aria," Erika asked, excitement lacing in her voice. She had always been sure that they were going to marry one day and now her wish was coming true, "How did Prince Zane propose to you, did he buy you flowers." "Where did he propose to
