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

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 "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

Aria "No! no, no, no, no." an elder shouted. he got up from his seat so fast that his seat fell over. the elders were sitting close to King Kaida.Aria tried to look at King Kaida's expression but his face was turned away from her and Prince Zane. as though he couldn't bear to look. "This can't be happening." another elder said.they were coming closer to Aria and Prince Zane. Aria could feel their blood lust, and they weren't the only ones who had the desire to kill her. other vampires in the garden wanted her dead too."this marriage isn't valid Prince Zane!" elder Svend shouted. he was furious, he stood with other elders, who were as angry as he was. Prince Zane quickly seized the marriage documents that had been signed on with their blood. he pushed Aria behind him, Aidan and Nadia appearing by his side with speed Aria's eyes couldn't catch, even though she got her werewolf abilities back. "our vows have been sealed by blood. like it or not but I'm married to Aria, she is the

Aria Aria watches Prince Zane chatting with Aidan through the mirror. Erika brought a mirror to the room in the morning. Aria was happy that she could finally see her reflection, but as she looked at herself, her eyes kept moving to Prince Zane.Prince Zane came back to the room later at night, Aria wasn't asleep when he came back but she pretended like she was asleep. "I'm done my lady," Erika said. she was done styling Aria's hair. "thank you, Erika," Aria said absent-mindedly, her eyes still on Prince Zane. She didn't understand him. he had left the room for a while in the morning, then he came back again after Erika had helped her dress up. Prince Zane waves Aidan away with his hand. Aidan bowed and walked to Erika, whispering something into her ear. Erika bowed to Prince Zane and left the room, leaving Aria alone with Prince Zane.'he wants to talk?' Aria thought. She blushed as she thought about what happened between the both of them last night. perhaps maybe he wants to t
