Aria povI haven't seen Erika since yesterday when she walked out of the room in anger. Genevieve was the one who dressed me up and helped me to prepare for another boring day in Esterial. Prince Zane was avoiding me which I was grateful for, but now Erika was avoiding me like Prince Zane. Maybe this sort of behavior where normal for Esterial citizens. They had the habit of making a girl feel alone. I was in the garden inside the palace, remembering the time I made Princess Thaisa's life hell. Those scheming days were one of my fun days in Esterial, Maybe I should tell Prince Zane to bring in more of his childhood lovers into the palace so that I could toy around with them for my entertainment. Now that I thought of it, maybe Prince Zane might just agree.I walked back to Prince Zane's room. I shouldn't have forced myself to drink hot tea, but cold tea is disgusting. The hot tea kept on burning my lips, and now I was tired. It was time for my afternoon nap. Being in the garden alone

Aria povEver since I saw Alpha Bryant and Beta Brian in Esterial I had been dreaming of this moment. The moment when I could easily come to King Kaida for help so that I could continue living. I can still remember some of the words I had wanted to tell him before. Words that were now stuck deep down within me. Unable to come out because there was no need for them anymore. King Kaida gave me a questioning gaze as my eyes went through everything in his office except for his face.Was this the worst moment of my life? No, I think I had suffered other days. "Lady Aria, I heard from one of my men that you had been looking for me since I left." King Kaida said.I'm surprised Prince Zane wasn't the one who told King Kaida that I wanted to see him. He loves putting me in situations like this."There was a day I_" I was about to tell him that there was a day I snuck out of the palace, but I don't think that was a good idea. Saying that was like putting an end to the conversation before I co

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

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"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,
