View MoreLondon's POVI stood facing the fireplace as different thoughts ran through my mind. Elsa sat on the couch on the other side, her maidservants attending to her calls. As they massaged her feet, she began recounting to me all that she had encountered in her visit to the neighboring pack. "... and can you believe that bitch of a Luna told me that it wasn't in my place to ask her when she got mated to her alpha," Elsa continued as she let out a loud scoff. I turned to face her and watched as she collected the glass of wine held by one of her maidservants in a tray. After bringing it's rim to her lips and taking a sip, she dropped the glass of wine back on the tray and continued with her storytelling. "I held so strongly the urge to give her a slap and just decided to walk away," she said with a chuckle as she licked her teeth. "But not after telling her the one thing that causes her to be so shook she ran to her alpha in tears."I smiled, my hands moving from my back to my pocket as I
Aria's POV"Food," I heard someone say from behind the door and I stood from my bed. I walked over to the door and opened it. I then looked to the ground and saw a small plate wrapped in tin foil. I made to pick up the plate when one of the two guards standing beside my door spoke. "Don't try to run like you did last time, Luna Aria," he said as he turned his head slightly to face me. His face was blank and deviod of any emotion. He gripped tight the spear in his hands and said, "King Ryder ordered that I make sure you are not able to do so again if you do." I didn't know what to say to the guard. If he had said this kind of thing to me four days ago, he would have been picked up and thrown into the dungeon, never to see the light of day again. But now, he could say all of these without receiving as much as a scolding. I didn't take it to heart though. Ryder had been like that for the past three days now so it really wasn't surprising. What was surprising though was how fast everyt
Aria's POV She placed a hand on my stomach then gasped loudly. "I was right." She turned to Ryder. "You cannot mate this wolf, Alpha Ryder, for she... she is pregnant."I chuckled lightly in disbelief. "What? That's impossible," I said to her, my tone carrying lifelessness. How could that even be so when I have not been mated with before, neither have I been in bed with Ryder. I shook my head, this woman didn't know what she was talking about.Noticing my discomfort, Ryder stepped to my defense. "I'm sure there must be a mistake, seer. Aria... Luna Aria, has not been mated to anyone before now and I've not even slept with her. You must be highly mistaken," Ryder said to her, keeping her away from me."Do you choose to doubt the eyes of the goddess for a wolf who has betrayed you, Alpha Ryder?" the seer replied rhetorically."No, no, I'm just saying that there must be some sort of mistake," Ryder said, disbelief and shock written all over his tone. "The very goddess that you serve is
Aria's POVTwo months flew by faster than the wind on a summer eve and as it did, so did the bond that I and the Lycan King shared. If someone was to walk into the dining room at this moment ,they would have found the strangest sight ever - I, seated right beside King Ryder in the dinning room, having dinner with the alpha while we laughed as we discussed a conversation that was not suitable for the mildly spicy food we were eating, a topic that caused us to burst out occasionally in laughter. The night was calm and the weather was cold but thanks to the long sleeve pajama I wore, I couldn't feel much of the chill the night wind brought. Our laughter also aided me in forgetting any other discomfort I could have felt due to the cold. Not to far from where we sat was a fireplace though, one I was still grateful for, regardless of the cold I felt.A part of me knew that I would have been out here shivering like I had just been bathed with ice if not for that very fireplace. "I can nev
RYDER'S POVWe had ridden pass the open road and we're now on the winding path that delved deeper into the forest. The morning sun pierced through the canopies of trees above us, it's rays scattering all across the ground and giving the forest this serene look.I turned to Aria and saw that she was so lost taking in the beauty of the forest. I couldn't blame her though. The first time my father brought me here, I had the same exact reaction."Beautiful, isn't it?" I asked Aria with a smile as I turned back to the path ahead of us. I felt Aria's gaze shift to me as a small sigh escaped her lips."It is really beautiful," Aria muttered under her breath, her voice soft. "Why didn't we take this path the first time we were having our breakfast picnic?" "Well, that's because this path that I am on leads to a place that is very sacred for me," I said with a smile as I turned back to Aria. "And I actually considered it too sacred for me to actually bring you here. But... I change my mind no
Ryder's POVI placed my legs on my stirrups and was about to lift myself onto my horse when it suddenly came to me that Aria did not know how to mount a horse. I quickly left mine and rushed to Aria's side to help her but then saw that she was already on the horse. "What's the matter, Ryder?" she asked with a smile that displayed her perfect milk white teeth as she turned to me. "Is there any problem?" "No, not really," I said, smiling as I slowly shook my head. "I thought your climbing the horse was going to be like yesterday.""Oh," Aria said as her cheeks flushed. She grabbed onto the reins of her horse and shrugged as she said, "I guess riding the gentle beast once made me accustomed to it. I really am actually a fast learner.""Yeah," I said, a soft chuckle escaping my lips as I stared at Aria. "You... you really are, aren't you?" Aria kept her eyes on mine for a few seconds before blushing again. She tucked a stray strand of her hair neatly behind her ears and shrugged again.
Aria's POV The sound of birds chirping and servants working outside stirred me from the sleep that I was in. I fluttered my eyes open and a smile appeared on my face. My sleep this time was much more peaceful than last night. Ma Levine was right. The little work that we did yesterday took my mind off everything. Now even when I think about what happened in the courtroom, I don't feel that bad. All I feel though is a small knot that tightens in my stomach but it is a feeling that would soon fade away. Another work today and it would be all gone. I slid myself out of my bed and put on my slippers. I then walked to my windows and drew the curtains wide open, the rays from the morning sun filling my room and giving it a morning sparkle. Seeing the way my room lit up in the sunlight caused the smile on my face to widen. "Time to get ready," I said with a small smile as I left the room and headed for the bathroom. After walking into the bathroom, I walked over to the sink and opened th
Ryder's POVElder Vernon collected the tea jug from Matilda with a smile and then dropped it on the table in front of us. He then lifted the jug after Matilda had left the room and poured himself a cup of tea too. As he did so, he continued with our conversation. "And what about Luna Aria did you come here to talk about?" he asked, his old hands surprisingly steady as they clasped onto the handle of the tea jug. "I actually wanted to know what you think about her," I said as I lifted my tea cup and brought it to my mouth. "The elders gave me a reply concerning Aria after we cleaned up the meeting room but it was only a collective conclusion. I would love to know your personal thoughts on her." I took a small sip from the now cold tea and dropped the cup back on the table. "Hmm," Elder Vernon grunted as he dropped down the tea jug after seeing that his teacup was now filled to the brim. "You want to know my personal thoughts on the new Luna of our pack, huh," he said as he wrapped h
Ryder's POVI placed my foot squarely on the stirrup and careful dismounted from my horse with a small grunt. After landing on the ground, I adjusted my coat, making sure to smoothen whatever wrinkle the ride through the town had caused. "Stay here and watch the horses" I said to the guards that had followed me and they nodded squarely in response to my orders. I turned from them and walked over to the door of Elders Vermont's house. Taking a deep breath, I knocked twice on the wooden door. Not too long after the knock, I heard the sound of footsteps slowly approach the door. "Who is it?" the person behind the door asked. From the tone of the voice, it sounded like a woman. Since when did Elder Vermont start letting women come into his home? Did he really miss his wife that much?"It's King Ryder," I answered after I suddenly realized that I had not given an answer. I heard a loud crack from behind the door after I had given this answer and I knew immediately that the lady was openi
