Aria"Beta Brian, was one of your childhood friends right?" King Kaida ask Aria. "Yes, he was." "Please tell me, are you planning to have some sort of reunion with him here in Esterial? Because I can't think of any other reason why beta Brian decided to stay." Aria bit the inside of her cheek as she realized what King Kaida wanted. King Kaida was irritated with Alpha Bryant and Brian still staying in the palace, like prince Zane, King Kaida thought that Aria was the only one that could be blamed. Aria couldn't understand why they blamed her. Did they see through her desire to have Erika and Brian by her side? Or was it because Erika was her maid?"I'm currently trying my best to make Erika understand that she has left with Brian." Aria didn't add the fact that her best wasn't good enough because Erika wasn't listening to her. This was the reason why Aria was still at King Kaida's office. The reason why King Kaida hadn't let her go. Was he going to lay out the same threat his son
Aria The door to Erika's room in the servant quarters was pushed open as Aria walked straight to Erika who was dressing up in her maid uniform together with Genevieve. "My lady," Erika said in shock. Genevieve quickly got dressed and left the room to Aria and Erika, after a little bow of respect to Aria. It was the first time Erika had seen Aria up so early in the morning. The light outside wasn't fully out yet. It was still a little bit dark. Aria could read Erika's thoughts. The only reason she was up so early was because she couldn't sleep in the first place all because of Erika. Never before had Aria ever thought that she was going to be losing her sleep because of Erika. "You need to leave Erika." "Leave where?" Erika ask confused.Aria frowned and came closer to her. But stopped because of the mirror Erika had been looking at together with Genevieve. "I'm sorry." Erika quickly turned the little mirror that was placed on the table around. "You need to follow beta Brian t
AriaAria shifted her body, trying her best to find some sort of comfort in the little space she had placed herself in. Each time she moves, trying to find a comfortable position to place her body she becomes afraid that Brian and Alpha Bryant are going to find her and realizes that she is hiding there, close to a flower pot.The hall that led to Prince Zane's room was one of the halls Aria had classified as a safe spot ever since alpha Bryant and beta Brian moved into the palace. Aria most times walked around the hall, only because she was looking for Erika. Erika went out. Aria made the mistake of assuming that she was with Brian. Aria was bored alone in the room, it wasn't nighttime yet, so she had thought of taking a walk around the hall. A walk that went wrong because she ended up meeting alpha Bryant and beta Brian. Before they could see her, she quickly hid herself close to a little table that had a flower pot, which was used to decorate the hall. Her tall frame trying to ben
Aria"I think it's a human?" Brian said."Why is this person hiding?" Bryant came closer to the table."Are you two lost?" Nadia asks, she uses her body to shield Aria. Stopping alpha Bryant and beta Brian from taking another step. Aria gave out a little sigh of relief. It didn't matter to her now if Brian or Alpha Bryant heard her or not. As long as she was safe that was all that mattered. Alpha Bryant kept a stoic face, he kept looking between Nadia and the table. As though deciding on what he should do. "Let's go Alpha Bryant. I don't want us to cause any trouble here." Alpha Bryant folded his fist tightly in anger as Brian dragged him away. He kept looking back between Nadia and the table. "Thank you, Nadia," Aria said words she never dreamt of ever telling Nadia. She came at the right moment. "Don't thank me. Thank Prince Zane. He's the one who instructed me to watch over you. I'm only doing this for him, I don't care about helping you." Aria still smiled warmly at Nadia.
Aria"What are you doing?" Prince Zane asked Aria as he walked into the room. Aidan and Nadia weren't with him. Aria glances at Prince Zane and then moves her eyes back to watching Erika and Brian. Erika finally got the chance to speak with Alpha Bryant.Alpha Bryant was trying his best not to scare Erika away by giving off little smiles but Aria knew that his smiles were all fake. It was a hard try, his real smile died along with his mate. Watching Erika and Alpha Bryant brought a bittersweet smile to Aria's face. Alpha Bryant's old self wasn't completely gone, he was trying to act the way Brian wanted, not as an alpha of the pack but as a friend. Aria couldn't hate that part of him. "Are you ignoring me now that I have helped you get rid of your problem?" Prince Zane asks, exasperated. Aria removed her gaze from the window and looked at Prince Zane. She gave out a surprised gasp and moved backward because Prince Zane was standing too close to her. Vampires and their fast feet,
AriaAria was staring blankly at the book in front of her. She had tried her best to focus but she couldn't. Erika felt like a sister to her and Aria couldn't push off the fact that Erika wasn't doing well. "I want to shout at you so that you can focus, but I know what is on your mind and I can't blame you for it." Lady Brunhilda said. She sat down close to Aria. Closing the book Aria was staring at, she wasn't reading anyway. "I heard what Erika did. And sincerely I think she's going to regret it." Aria turned away from Brunhilda as she laid her head on the table. She waited for Lady Brunhilda to blame her for the choice that Erika made but Brunhilda didn't. Rather she kept talking about how much she knew about mate and their bonds. It was something that they couldn't escape from unless they rejected each other. Aria couldn't imagine Brian and Erika ever rejecting each other. Something as terrible as that would be too much for either Erika or beta Brian to handle. They both didn'
Aria The running sounds of water from the bathroom weren't the only thing that woke Aria up. She had been awake for a while now, and Erika had been busy arranging and cleaning things around the room. The noise she made was enough to wake Aria up even though Erika thought that Aria was still sleeping. Erika was back. she was preparing hot, scented water for Aria to bathe with but Aria still didn't know how to face Erika.She got up from the bed without bothering to pretend like she had just woken up because Erika was in the bathroom. "You finally decided to leave the bed, my lady." Erika came out of the bathroom. "I was about to come and tell you that I know that you aren't sleeping." There wasn't any dark circle around Erika's eyes. Her eyes were bright, she didn't look like someone who had spent the night crying over a lover. It hadn't even been up to a week since beta Brian left. How was Erika so okay? Aria knew how long it took for her to get over Alpha Bryant when she was in
Aria The guards in front of King Kaida's office gave Aria a little bow as soon as they saw her. One of them went inside the office to inform the king before Aria was permitted to come in. Aria went to see King Kaida without making any plans. She stepped into King Kaida's office, thinking she should have told him earlier that she wanted to see him. It was irresponsible of her to show up like that. "My king." Aria gave a little courtesy to King Kaida who was lying down on the couch in his office, looking stressed. What Aria was about to tell him was going to make him even more stressed out. "You didn't kill." Aria rushed over to his side. She didn't know how much she was allowed to say. King Kaida's office couldn't always be safe. "The werewolf that tried to kill me the first time we met, he's still alive," Aria whispered and yelled at King Kaida's face.He looks annoyed. Aria was telling Him something like this on a day that he didn't want to hear it. "That is impossible." Some of t
