"My Lord, we have searched but..."I turned my back to the guards. I didn't want to hear about their incompetence anymore. What could be so difficult about catching two women on foot? No matter the distance they covered, they couldn't have gone far. I clenched my hands on the table and lifted my head, my eyes to the ceiling. I opened my mouth wide and let out a scream, so loud the walls shook at the force and strength. I roared and roared until my throat itched in pain and my body became weak. My subjects fell to their knees, their own way of showing their sympathy to my situation and their loyalty. But that wasn't what I wanted. I wanted Aria. Adair needed Aries. I couldn't feel her even after lifting the barrier between us. I tried to mindlink her, explain to her everything she had misunderstood but i couldn't go through to her. That meant one thing. She placed up a barrier between us too. My knees weakened at the horror that was happening in my life. I had a treasure and I failed

ARIAIt was a peaceful night. Better than the cold nights I had to go through alone in Cosmos. The air had a sweet breeze along with it, the air of love. I giggled knowing Morris and Maddock were definitely going at it, probably for the whole night, like how I did with Adrian our first few nights together."Morning, my lady." A single maid whose face was familiar. Today the chambers weren't filled with maids, they were probably in the Queen's chamber, trying to get her dressed. I threw the covers off my tired body and yawned. My body was different today. I wasn’t filled with strength like I had been the past few days but I still got up on my feet and walked towards the maid who was drawing up a warm bath for me. I deduced that the tiredness was from the emotional stress I had been experiencing since I've been mated to Adrian or should I say before the mateship. "Aria. You can call me Aria." The lady was beautiful, like the rest of the Lycan females. She was dressed modestly and ele

ADRIAN"I'm sorry, Alpha Adrian. Aria...isn't your mate anymore. She's mated to another." Aria's head attendant. It was her, alive and very much healthy. Too healthy. Everything was different about her, she wasn't the invisible lady beside Aria anymore. She was dressed like a Lycan, in their wealthy clothings. Her hair was braided in several small braids and then knotted at the top of her head. Her face sparkled with light make-up that brought out her features. Coming here wasn't easy. I fought internally with myself tooth and nail before finally deciding on coming, keeping my pride aside and focusing on my deepest desires. Aria. The Lycan borders were heavily guarded with thick armored men. Their body size were huge but they didn't intimidate me. I was strong as much as they were, probably even stronger. I was a match for their king, not them. The guards were quick to circle around my troops and I, ready to attack. Their dead emotionless eyes were trained on me especially, the tro

I groaned as I shifted on the soft surface. My back was stiff and my entire abdomen hurt in an unexplainable way. Where was I? What was happening? I opened my eyes, shyly at first and shut them immediately. The light bleached my eyes and made me groan uncomfortably. A few more seconds and I peeled them open again, taking in my surroundings. I was in my chambers, on my bed. I groaned out again, loudly this time as I tried to get up, the entire pain gripping my lower parts. I moaned painfully as I laid back down immediately, my breaths coming out in pants. My hands reached down instinctively on my bandaged abdomen, in a soothing way. That was when I remembered what happened. What I had done. I sobbed out, the sound coming out as a gasp. I wasn't supposed to be alive. I wasn't supposed to survive. No. This wasn't the plan. I was meant to have been found dead in the morning. How was I supposed to live without Aria? The question alone itself terrified me. People wouldn't understand why

MORRIS.We were lost. Five days and four nights and we had no idea where we were. My back hurt and my neck was stiff. I didn't feel good about my body, not in the slightest. Five days without the warm and scented bath my body was gradually getting used to make me feel deprived. It made me feel sick about my own body. I didn't feel amazing at all. At this point, I was looking for a stream, just to wash out the dirt and the sticky sweat that had glued to my skin. "Where are we now? Are we back on track?" My tired voice was loud in the almost dark area. The two guards looked around the forest, studied it for a while before turning their heads, their eyes asking for confirmation from my female attendants. Both females nodded in agreement before the huge bulgy man riding on the left path answered me. "We're on the right track my lady." I sighed out in frustration. I didn't want to look impatient but it has been days already. I didn't think this would take more than three days. On the o
