ARIAMorris gasped, her eyes enlarging in size as she stared at my chest. My eyes were still sleepy and my body was extremely tired. My bones hurt. I should have expected that my attendants would wake me up early because of the coronation but my tiredness slept it away. Morris had softly tapped on my body, twice before I could peel my eyes open. I cringed from the assault of the early morning sun rays before lifting myself up in a seated position and stared at Morris with half opened eyes. It took a while for me to comprehend what had Morris so shocked. I looked down at myself and realized that the silky sheets had fallen off my body and my smooth skin was decorated with red marks and bite marks, all over. My skin looked red and angry. That was when i remembered the events of last night. Adair was wild, rough and desperate. He went at it for so long. He fucked me hard and slow, then rough and wild. My body took and took until i couldn't take anymore. I remember crashing on the bed,

ADRIAN"My lord, we have disturbing news." I was in a meeting with all the Alpha's of the neighboring clans. We were working on a peace treaty amongst ourselves, the werewolves. It was important to achieve this development as it took months to have it come this far. The meeting has been going on for hours, trying to sum it all down to one factor each clan was comfortable with.My study was suddenly swung open, the noise making me look up immediately at the intruder. Every subject knew not to disturb their Alpha when I was in the middle of an important meeting. It had to be terribly urgent if Gregory acted this way. His face was slightly disturbed and his eyes looked unsure as it danced with fear. His face was white and he was terribly perspirating.That's when I felt the fear seep into my being and grip my heart. Gregory wouldn't look like this if everything was alright. Something was terribly wrong. But what? The sudden realization that I wasn't unmated or mated to an uncaring Veron

ADRIAN"Adrian, look at me. Does it look like I did what she's accusing me of?" Veronica's eyes were glassy and her loud voice was softened to a low tempo. Her eyes were red and her skin was the whitest I've even seen, for the two years I've been with her. I am a happy man. I now had the most beautiful mate that blended well with my characters and desires. Most of all, I was going to be a father. I remember clearly, with Veronica, I crossed out the probability of having a pup soon. Veronica didn't want to be "fat and ugly" yet. She wanted us to wait, hence the reason she drank the bitter herbs every morning after I've been with her after a night of passion. Has it ever been a night of passion with her? More like I was desperate for a release. Anything to make my heavy cock soften. Most times I had to arrive at my pinnacle myself while she laid on the bed, unmoving, waiting for me to finish. But with Aria, I now know what it feels like to have a female. I am now complete and whole. And

ARIA.Words couldn't express how I felt, am feeling right now. Where did I go wrong? What did I miss? Adrian was warming back to her? I am his real mate, through thick and thin so what was the problem? I knew going on this part wasn't going to be all smooth and speedy but not something like this. Something as embarrassing like this. I couldn't stop the warm tears from rolling down my cheeks. I was useless then. He saw me as nothing. Weren't Alpha's supposed to be protective of their mates? Why is Adrian different, protecting Veronica from his mate instead of protecting his mate from Veronica?"Aria."I didn't want to hear his voice. I didn't want him close to me. I cringed from his voice and increased my steps, walking to the sanctity of my bed room. "Aria." He called again, his thick voice sounding desperate. Now he sounds desperate? My hands shook as I remembered the sick smile on Veronica's face when Adrian gave out his firm order. She wasn't surprised by his words. This was why

ADRIANFuck it i was horny. So horny I couldn't sleep. I sighed out and positioned myself in the center of my bed, my back against the comfortable covers and stared down at my angry cock, shoiting upwards, against my muscular stomach. I always take pride in sleeping naked but today, the cold against my bare skin did nothing but arouse me more.It was still very much in the middle of the night and i wasn't Aria's best person right now but i still needed her softness for my relief. I groaned as my cock jerked, shiny white liquid leaking out of the tip at just the mere thought of her. I would have to get my relief myself then, seeing as my mate wasn't in my bed nor arms. It was as though Aria disconnected herself from me these past few days. How could I explain to her that everything was for her? How could I tell her Veronica had poisoned her with the rarest of poisons, which was slowly manifesting itself in her being without her knowledge? A poison whose antidote was very rare to come
