Aria POVThe room temperature became warm the moment Seraphina walked to the throne and sat down on the sit. My jaw clenched in anger seeing her face as she smiled in my direction.How dare she show up here after everything that she did to me?"You!" I snapped angrily. "You ripped me away from my mate. You tore my Pack apart like it was nothing. You will pay for this!" I tried to rip the chain, but it was too tight."Dear Aria....So Fiery as ever." She said with a smile. "Your mate must be very worried about you. But don't blame me, I had to do what was necessary""Don't even pretend like you even care." I snapped angrily and pushed myself forward with the chain holding me back. "I want you to release me now or I swear...""To do what?" She asked, raising up to her feet. "Whether you like it or not you are still a sleep here." She snapped her finger and two guards grabbed my shoulders instantly.The more they pushed the more I felt angry but I tried to maintain my peace. There is no p
Aria POVA couple of months at Shadow Pack , the shackles we're already hurting my wrists. One of the guards pushed me through the tunnels with his sword kept in his cloak and his eyes fixed on me the entire time.Several slaves were shuffled right behind me in their chains, but none had the number of guards that were placed in my corner. One of the hooded figures dressed in black clothes grabbed my arms and dragged me down a certain path.His finger was buried deep into my arm as he pulled me through the halls reserved for Shadow Pack's members. We walked down through the corridors and climbed the stairs, making our way through the hallway again until the layout became blurry around me.I caught the way we climbed and begin to descend down the same stair case twice within a minute in a zigzag form. The aim of the man holding my hand was to confuse me but I refused to loose my attention. His efforts almost felt like an insult to me.We entered another hallway where only our footsteps
Aria's POV I had wanted nothing more for my son but to find his mate who'd complete him just as his father completed me ever since I'd had him in my arms. I prayed every day that every one of my children would get to experience the undying love that came with finding the better half of your soul in that one person, making it possible that even after years of his passing away, I still loved my husband with my entire being and missed him with every breath in me.What a shame I couldn't stand by and watch everything I'd protected and nurtured with love get torn to shreds by that rogue. Rogues brought nothing but betrayal, bloodshed, and death. Seraphina was no different from the rogue we had found and from the kindness she brought into our lives years ago. She had come to kill and was just excellent at disguising herself like the one before her, and if I didn't work fast enough, my son would be dead like his father by the time he realised it.The rogue had infiltrated our lives; we ha
Killian's POV After what had happened at the pack house yesterday and with everything that was on the ground already, Seraphina and I had just gone our separate ways without even a good night.It was understandable that she and Lily went a long way, and for that reason, she wanted to protect her friend, but that didn't mean Thalia didn't have her reasons as well. Thalia may be complicated and a bit too much, but she was still a notable member of the pack, and we still went a long way back. Seraphina was just going to have to come to terms with her presence. After talking to Thalia yesterday, she promised to keep her opinions on rogues more civilized and apologized for being rude to my mate, claiming it was just her jealousy that got the best of her.Morning comes fast, and after breakfast, we find ourselves in my office at the pack house with the said man present too.Blessed ones were very few; it was said that they were about ten or so in total so far, with the inability to repro
Killian's POV The rest of the evening is very unpleasant as the party ends abruptly after Seraphina's friend Lily passes out suddenly, Theo realising that she was his mate, and my mate being all dishevelled as she cried nonstop while I tried my best to calm her down.“I will take Seraphina home; I understand you'd want to stay here and be certain your mate is okay. Call me when she's awake so we can think of what to do next.” Theo nods at me distractedly as he continues to pace outside Moon Shield's infirmary, where they had taken Lily.“Thank you, Killian; I'm bothered by numerous things right now." He stroked his hand in his hair."You put whatever is bothering you aside; let's focus on how she will be okay.""Why are they so mean here? My friend looks so underfed and stressed out. What does Victor do to his workers here? Omega or whatever, they at least deserve a bit of humanity. They might have fed her some drugs. I don't think she tripped." He sounded agitated, and I just patted
Aria POVAnger surged through me as I watched Killian walk in with Seraphina on his arm. She looked stunning, and her confidence was like never before. I could feel my parents' eyes on me, and I struggled to mask my jealousy and annoyance. I began to regret rejecting her. If I had known she was this gorgeous and self-assured, I would never have let her go. Seraphina has become more beautiful than I ever imagined she could be. Her hair fell on her shoulders, and her smile was bright and genuine. There was a grace in her movements, an elegance that drew everyone's attention, including mine. I couldn't believe I lost this precious thing. Watching her laugh with Killian, I realized the warmth in her voice and the kindness in her eyes that I had taken for granted. She had a way of making people feel at ease, drawing them in with her genuine interest and charm. I was beginning to see what a fool I had been to let her go. I didn't know she was this charming. She would have been in my arms,
