ARIANo, I wasn't alright. My whole body ached and my temperature was abnormally high. I was very weak in addition to that and it was impossible for me to move without grunting in pain. I groaned at the constant throbbing sharp pain in my head which was supported by my two hands, as I sat forward on the dinning table. I shifted uncomfortably, moaning in pain. Something was terribly wrong. I was fine yesterday night, even this morning but the last few hours were a nightmare. It started as a dull ache which I casually disregarded as stress. I thought I would be fine after a quick meal and some light sleep. But I was wrong. I couldn't even bare to close my eyes even when I laid on the bed and food? My stomach churned badly now. I hardly even had more than a few morsels. This illness had graduated into this terrible pain I couldn't bear. The nausea hit me like a storm immediately I stood up from the dinning table. My vision became dark momentarily. I blinked my eyes rapidly, attempting

ADRIANThe bitch laughed. She titled her head backwards and let out a hearty laugh, the sound filling the room. Her left hand held her chest as she giggled out, the sound sick to my ears. The guards stood still, their eyes confused at her actions. Was she supposed to be laughing? She was supposed to be terrified but Veronica laughed until a bead of tear came out of her left eye. This woman is really insane.Thomas came forward with the powdered tartan and stood in front of her while the other guards exchanged looks between each other, still perplexed at their former Luna's actions."Oh you can't really do that, Adrian." Her voice was excited, as though she was having the most enjoyable time in her life. Her eyes were bright as she stared at me, her white teeth visibly biting down on her full lips. I titled my head to the side, assessing her words. Whatever did she mean by that? Did she think I wouldn't do this? What was so funny about this, me feeding her poison, thesame poison she

ARIAMy weak eyes watched as the maids and attendants struggled to tidy up the bed chambers. My sheets were replaced, I had already been given a bath and changed into another nightwear. I gripped the edge of the table as I watched them go and do their assigned tasks, my hand tightening on the table each time a wave of stomach pain hit me. The bleeding stopped long ago but I still felt heavy and foreign. I saw it in their eyes, the sadness that I had lost my pup even before he felt my arms around him. I lost my pup without my mate present go give me strength. How sad is that? Truth is, I had a lot of pain I was dealing with right now. I couldn't differentiate the emotional pain from the physical pain. "The physician is here." Morris announced in a gentle voice. I frowned. The deed has already been done, what was his aim of coming here? To place leaves on my stomach or feel my vitals? The Castle's physician has in no way helped with my illness at anytime. I doubted he needed to see m

ARIA"My love, I am so sorry." The night was at it's darkest when I heard heavy footsteps padding around in my chambers, approaching my bedroom. I couldn't sleep a wink, not when I knew Veronica was after my life and my body was still weak. There was nothing I could do. Morris suggested tomorrow night, for the departure and I couldn't agree more. I was sure that by then, the pain in my loins and stomach would have reduced drastically. My emotional allergy would have gone down by a notch. I needed to be very healthy seeing as we didn't know how long we would journey on foot before finding a situable destination.After dinner, I went to bed normally and stared up at the ceiling, counting my breaths after a relaxing hot bath. I didn't even will for sleep to grace me with its presence. I had a lot of things on my mind I needed to address. Seconds became minutes and hours. I ended up thinking about everything and nothing in particular. My ears were alert when I heard the chamber door ope

ARIAThe heels of my feet ached badly as I placed one foot in front of another. Our steps were slower and weak. My entire being was weak and tired to the bones and the weather wasn't helping it at all. My hair sticked to my nape and the beads of sweat rolled down my body parts, making me uncomfortable. My left shoulder has been shouting in protest, the heavy load of snacks, water and other refreshments in a duffel bag. I couldn't complain, not when Morris had two bags on her shoulder, one for clothes and the other one, thick bed spread, light covers and other emergency products.We had snuck out at night with the help of Morris's sister, Hamish who I never met till yesterday. She pretended to be the Luna in bed while I wore her clothings and gracefully walked out of my chambers. The guards weren't alert at all. Even as we reached the main gates, the soldiers didn't spare us a look before opening the grand gates of the palace. That's how our journey to the land of nowhere began. It ha
