Ayla POV
I listened to the whole report and was overwhelmed by so much that happened, but I'm glad that Ghost finally managed to redeem himself. I don't miss Klaus, I'm glad he was punished and that's it.
My conversation with Skyler was quick, and I know she's sad because her new position prevents her from getting close to Sebastian and, as far as I understand it, they'll never be able to be together. That saddens me because I know they love each other.
Right now I'm in the great hall, looking at the thrones, there are three of them, all the same size, with the same appearance. Soren explained that when I choose my seat, each throne will change to reflect our tastes and personalities.
I sighed, because it's something I have to figure out, my mind always see
Ayla POVOnce again Ghost surprises me and shows how much better he is than Klaus, he's respectful of what Soren and Victor represent and doesn't try to fight them, even after they've revealed so much to me, but he also keeps an emotional distance from them, completely professional.Doing a ceremony like this would mean taking me further away from him, yet he didn't hold back and made this suggestion."Later, we'll call a meeting with all the Heads of Houses and discuss this suggestion," Victor said, approaching me.Ghost bowed once more, gave me one last look, and walked out of the hall."Are you all right?" Soren asked, standing in front of me."Better than before,
Ayla POVSoren put me to bed and I closed my eyes, feeling good to be in a cozier environment and with the smell of Soren and Victor everywhere."How about you take a nap until the food arrives? Then we can talk about what you wanted in the lounge." Soren suggested, stroking my cheek gently.I nodded, because that's what I needed, even though the potion had helped, I was still slightly drowsy. I closed my eyes and heard Soren begin to sing softly, and it didn't take long for sleep to take over....I opened my eyes with some difficulty, yawning, and felt the presence of Soren and Victor next to me; they had changed my clothes into a simple black silk nightgown. I looked up at the ceiling, knowing that it was alr
Ayla POVAs soon as we left the room, Victor and Soren informed me that they needed to sort out some things regarding diplomacy with the other Kingdoms. They asked me if I wanted to take part in the meeting with House leaders, but I refused, I don't feel comfortable doing that.When we got to the first floor, I saw Ghost standing there, wearing a simple black suit, with his hands in his pockets. Victor and Soren gave me a quick kiss and left me with the Lycan.Although I feel comfortable with him, I'm still not sure if I want to get so close, even though my aura is stabilizing. I know that a lot of the things I've been through with Soren have helped us to get over them, whether it was Victor or Ishtar... But accepting Ghost is so strange."What do you
Ghost POVAyla... It's pretty much the only thing on my mind since I heard she'd woken up and wasn't well. I don't have much power to create potions or anything like that, my power is quite different, but that didn't mean I could let Ayla continue as she was.Not so much for Soren or Victor, but for her... I'd already let her down several times, I couldn't fail her again, so I locked myself in my library, looking for a way to cure her.After a few days, I found a potion made with Selene's Tears that could help, and it took me a while to perfect it, it drained a lot of my energy to create such a thing.From what Ishtar told me, what's missing is a part of Ayla's soul that may have been dead or trapped in some strange dimension. We'd gotten close while she wa
Soren POVI was surprised to hear Ghost's voice in my mind. It's extremely difficult for him to do that, but it was a nice surprise. Surely Ayla must have bought something, an outfit, that's something my mate loves.Her style is very social and elegant, I've always been impressed when she chooses, the way the colors and fabrics match. I never knew she studied to do such a thing, which makes it a natural skill.Victor glances at me, noticing that I'm distracted from the meeting, and sighs."Well, we don't have much more to decide, first thing is to send the emails requesting an online meeting with the ambassadors who are still in our territory," I said, summarizing everything. "As soon as you have the date, let me and Victor know, so we can plan ahead."
Victor POVI know I need to resolve my resentment towards Soren, but I can't talk about it, not yet, because I know I'll explode and that's not what I want. Soren is my mate, someone I'll be eternally grateful to...Part of me wanted to walk away when he held my hand, but because we were in public, I accepted it, because everyone needs to see that we're united and that none of this has shaken us, appearances matter.But seeing Ayla warmed my heart, she looked amazing, I lost my breath for a few seconds. The dress is perfect and fits in with the style Soren and I are wearing. In addition, her scent is more intense, I can distinguish some flowers in the middle of the field that she represents, the strongest is the touch of Selene's Tears.I want to hug
Soren POVI just can't believe what Victor is doing! It's a betrayal, he may be angry with me, but he shouldn't be so dependent on Ghost! Sending him to stay in our room is heresy!I took several deep breaths, controlling my aura, and the lights returned to normal, but Victor wasn't the least bit sorry for what he'd done."I can't just forgive you, Soren... The amount of pain you're causing everyone is staggering! Out of selfishness, Ayla is in a state where we need to ask Ghost for help! This is your fault!" Victor spoke angrily, although his aura was restrained, his voice was cold and cutting.I took a step back, hurt by this statement."I know! I'm doing what I can to fix the situation!" I rebutted without hi
Ayla POVIt's been a long time since I've felt so refreshed, the smell of Soren and Victor envelops me and I lose myself in them for a few seconds, before sighing and stretching, yawning. I don't know how long I've slept, I hope not long, but I feel so good."Good morning, my love." I heard Soren's voice and blinked a few times.I smiled and kissed him. Very happy to wake up like this."Good morning!" I replied cheerfully.I then felt a light kiss on the curve of my neck and let out a low chuckle."Good morning, my empress." Victor wished in a huskier voice. "I'm very relieved and very happy to see you like this."Soren w
