Aria pov"I understand that sometimes as humans we can be subjected to our desires. But it's a must that we discipline ourselves enough to exhibit some form of self control, i believe it's the only way we can overcome our weak human nature.""All I'm going to do is ride a horse. Just because I missed one of Brunhilda lessons doesn't mean I'm giving in to desires, Erika." I kept walking around the horse stable, searching for the perfect horse. Each horses here where good. But each one of them reminded me of that day. The time I went out with prince Zane."My lady, if king Kaida knows that you willing missed your lessons with lady Brunhilda just so that you could have some fun, he's going to be furious." Then let him be furious, everything about this place was choking me. I was a werewolf, not a super human, I get fustrated too at things in life. I just needed sometime to myself, I need to think.Was my desire in this place survival? Was that really the only thing I was going to do whi
Aria povThe last time I spoke to prince Zane wasn't good, we were both at each other throat, at the end of the day, we were both angry with each other. The insult he throws at me wasn't true, but still it hurts. Prince Zane had a venomous way of making his words really hurt. I haven't bother myself to do anything that could cross him, even though if he found it amusing. I wasn't here in Esterial for his amusement. For me, this was just a survival game, one I wasn't sure I could ever be free from. Seeing prince Zane leaning on the wall close to lady Brunhilda chamber, where I normally take my lessons wasn't exactly something i expected would happened. Erika kept telling me in that annoying girly voice of her's, that he was here because he missed me. I knew that wasn't true. Erika still believe that we were actually in love and that he had strong affection for me. When i came out from lady Brunhilda chamber and sighted prince Zane, I doubted I was the one he was here for, it could be
Aria povThis was the strong healthy man who save me from Kaiser and took away the rest of my life as a compensation for his act of kindness. King Kaida was looking exactly like himself, no trace of the person I saw, who had lock himself up in that room. My guess was that king Kaida must have took in the poison, but because of political issue, he wasn't ready to address any of the issues, so he didn't arrest Sir Nuriel for his actions. Prince Zane wasn't like his father, so there was no way he was going to show the same act of kindness, neither was he going to care. The conclusion I had form in my head about what had happened to king Kaida sounded so perfect. Still, I knew that wasn't it. King Kaida was no much different from his son. Though I doubted he would ever waste his time on small flies like Sir Nuriel. King Kaida act of kindness was not so much as something I would called kindness. I was quite sure, base on the fact that my current life was as a result of it. "Never knew y
Aria povI wonder if I was the only one in Esterial who knows about king Kaida secret. Elqenna could know but I doubt she lives in Esterial. Ever since the day I met her, I haven't seen her again since then. I only remember about her whenever I thought of how I got my pendant. Secret could be nothing but an heavy burden sometimes. Usually I don't care, but this situation about king Kaida bothers me. "Lady Aria your skirts is up." Erika said. "Lady Aria, lady Aria!" "Stop shouting, I can hear you, Erika! is there really any need to put it down? I wasn't the one who made it go up anyway." Vampires kept coming in full speed, it somehow felt like they were battling among themselves on who was the fastest. Couldn't they just walked in like any normal beings? Because of their damn fast feet, the wind kept lifting my skirt up. I'm sick of putting it down. Even my hair feels ruined.King Kaida had ordered everyone to gather at the garden. Sir Nuriel cases would finally be clearfield. Was h
Aria povI rolled around the bed, stretching out my hand to the little table by the bed side. Usually Erika always kept a cup of water there for me to drink incase I was thirsty. She didn't know that the only time I ever got to drink her water was at noon, when I was done with Brunhilda lessons early for the day.I got the chances to lay down on prince Zane bed, have a proper sleep that no floor in the world could grant me. To think I was worried about a prince who had done nothing but torment my life ever since I came to the palace. As I took in the water from the glass, I look at my surrounding. Time flew away while I was asleep. The day was becoming dark. Why didn't Erika wake me up? I always instructed her to wake me up early before evening came with it cold breeze. If only the chilling breezes was the only thing the evening brought to me. My evening always came with prince Zane coming back to the room. Although most days he never comes back early, the moment he's back, I go back
Aria povLast night was strangely unforgettable for me. It was my first night with prince Zane on the bed. The first night he actually allowed me to stayed on his bed, together with him. We didn't do anything sexual, it feels wrong to touch him like that. Mostly when he was feeling down for reasons I didn't understand. Okay, to be honest I was no saint, I hated myself for it. But being with prince Zane alone, watching him looking so vulnerable for the first time in my arms gave me the desire to do more than just lay down with him on that bed. I don't know what was wrong with me, maybe the only reason i felt like that was because he had ordered everyone to leave us alone. Last night we slept together in each other arms without a single word. His embrace was gentle. Each time I would like to tell myself that the only reason I still haven't pulled myself away from him was because the last person that acted like they wanted me like this was alpha Bryant. It could be that my heart still mi
Aria povNormally I woke up on the bed alone whenever I slept on the floor. But this time around, I woke up on the floor. To be more precise, Erika woke me up from the floor. At first she was confused on why I was sleeping on the floor, where there was a good bed in sight. Fortunately for me prince Zane was peacefully having his early morning tea in the room. He manages to convince Erika that I easily roll off the bed whenever he wasn't there with me. To me it was an obvious lie, but Erika believe it because she still thought that we were in love. Erika was done with helping me get ready for the day, prince Zane was still in the room. I wonder what he was waiting for. Things between the both of us have been back to normal, and by normal I mean we weren't talking to each other. Not like we ever did, I sort of thought things will change after that day. Now with the way things was, it was just as though that day nevered happened. Any thoughts of it was a lie.Erika braided my hair and t
Aria pov"Something on your mind lady Aria?" King Kaida ask me. I wonder if it was okay to ask him. Would it be rude? But then again, when have I ever cared about being rude. "your majesty is this place another one of your secret chambers?" The room looks different from the last one he called me to when he was feeling unwell. At that time he was hiding his sickness from everyone in the palace.King Kaida chuckled. He didn't always laugh with me. Whenever I got too deep in his matters, he always made sure to remind me who he was and my place in Esterial. In short, even though we understood each other. King Kaida always made sure to remind me that our friendly relationship should always be kept at arm's length. "This isn't a secret chamber Lady Aria. This is my office. Don't tell me you thought the king of Esterial spend all the days of his life in a throne room." King Kaida drop the pen he had been using to hit his desk lightly. He smirked at me. "Although it's just an office, it
