ログインAria's POV“ But I think you are the missing royalty.” Danielle added.“ Why?”“ This mark on your back. It looks exactly like the one that…” She paused, and when I tilted my head to look at her, her eyes widened, and her face turned red.“ Like the one that? Like the one that someone has?” My brows furrowed.The King told me in person that the birthmarks on the backs of the royalties were not public knowledge. But maybe workers in the palace knew this things.“ Never mind.” She replied. “ We should rinse off your body.“ Have you seen a mark like this?” I asked as I stood up, pointing to the red mark on my hip bone.She swallowed, and her face was turning more red. I already assumed many things.“From my father?” I teased her, and she immediately shook her head.“ No. Of course not.”“So…. From one of my brothers?” I leaned closer, enjoying the blush on her face. Despite the discomfort on her face, I could say this was the only thing that felt natural in her fairytale life at the mo
Authors Note: This is officially part two of Aria's and Aiden's story. The title will change to THE ROYAL LUNA from this chapter forward.Aria's POVAfter they swabbed something inside my mouth, I was allowed to leave the room. The woman that came with the two men was named Danielle, and she was to be my maid.I was trying to get a grip on what was happening.A part of me wanted to wish the Alpha King was wrong with his assumptions that I was his missing daughter and that I was a princess so I could be free to look for Aiden again, but making that wish reality could only mean more trouble for me. If I weren't his daughter, he would surely have ordered me to go to prison.Either way, I was at the losing end.But maybe, if I were his daughter, not allowing me to see Aiden would just be temporary. If I could explain to him our history, he would surely understand. I kept my hopes and head high as I followed Danielle along the long corridor until I realised we were heading for what looke
Alpha Aiden's POVIt had been hours since she was taken, and I had no idea where she was.King Essak returned to the ballroom and stayed for ten minutes, but I was not able to get to him. Unlike earlier, he was fully guarded this tkm. No matter how I tried to ask politely and professionally, I was not allowed to talk through him. And regardless of whether I positioned myself within his peripherals, the King would always avert his gaze away from me.Something was off.It was taking too much for me not to snap and create choas. I was worried, but I knew that if I let out an outburst, I would be in a bad position. The last thing I wanted was to give them a reason to throw me out of the perimeter of the Absalom Palace.After the event, there was an after-party. I also went there, hoping tp find Kevin or find someone who could tell me anything about Aria, but I was not successful.I then proceeded to Mindorf Manor, which serve as the hotel for guests. Everyone invited to the Moonlight Ball
Aria's POV“ I have been looking for you for twenty years, the King said, and it kept resonating in my ears.I looked at him, and slowly, the words came out of my lips. “ Looking for me? For twenty years? I'm not sure I understand.”“ Your mother's name is Adelaine.”It was the woman's name he mentioned earlier when he first saw me.“She was taller, but you look just like her. And even with that mask on, I could tell.”“ My King, you must be mistaken.” I forced a smile despite the loud beating of my heart and the sweat on my palms. “This is not my real hair. And they put too thick makeup on me. What you see…”“ I know what I felt.”I swallowed hard as my stomach churned. King Essak turned away and headed for the window. He looked outside while I remained silent, waiting for him to continue.“ A King's senses are heightened. My sense of hearing, reflexes, taste, everything. And I could feel a bond. I felt it for everyone of my children that came into this world. I knew someone was born
Aria's POV“ Will you tell the truth for all my questions, or do I have to use my command on you again?” He began.“ I will not lie, my King,” I responded.“ Good.” Then he motioned with his hand, directing me to the couches. “ Take your seat. Is it Savannah or Aria?”With my head down, I headed for the nearby single couch and sat there. I tilted my head and found him looking at me, still standing where he was earlier.“ Aria. My name is Aria Langley.” I replied, doing my best for my voice not to crack. “ I killed two people from the Black Moon Pack, but If you'd let explain…”He raised his hand, and it made me stop talking.“ Enough.” That was all he said, and cold sweat formed everywhere on my body. He turned around and walked toward the table where a vintage telephone sat.Is he going to call someone to arrest me?I stood up abruptly. “ My King!” This time, I couldn't stop my voice from trembling.He placed a finger on his lips after he pressed a number, and I held my breath, but
Aria's POV“ Do you have a red birthmark on your back?” King Essak asked the moment he stopped in front of me. He asked in a low voice as if he didn't want anyone to hear.I saw many guards approaching and dispersing the crowd around us until it was just me and Aiden with the Alpha King. I didn't see Alpha Kane anymore.“ Do you have a red birthmark on your back?” The King repeated his question, snapping me back to the present.Then, a surge of strong current rippled through my body, and I knew he had used his King's command. I made the mistake of looking back into his eyes. I thought he would never use it on me. Only the King had this power, and from what I heard, he had never even used this to get any criminals to admit their crimes. He would leave judgement to his Court. But I had no idea why he was using this on such a trivial matter. Why was he asking too many questions?“ I do…” I answered in almost a whisper as I dropped my gaze to the floor.I had no choice; lying could cause
Aria's POV“ Aiden…” I had no idea I was able to speak as my throat felt dry.I felt like I would collapse— tired from all the running and shock upon seeing him before me.Was I imagining things? But the warmth of the hands that went up to my arms and began rubbing them was real. I could feel him.
Alpha Aiden's POV“ Rasmus. You said you caught her in bed with Rasmus.” Her lips uttered these words, and rage surged within me.I had no idea if was furious because Emmaline cheated on me or become Rasmus was my cousin, and I expected better from him.“ So we fought over her?”She shook her head.
Alpha Aiden's POVShe began eating without inviting me to join her, which should be expected a she was still mad at me. But I didn't mind. I had no appetite to eat. So I stayed back, leaning against the wall and watching her way in silence.“How did you find out I'm here?” She asked after a while.
Aria’s POV “ The men who took you, did they hurt you?” He asked, and I contemplated whether I should admit my crime, but I didn't want to. Telling someone I killed two people meant I really did it. I was still trying to pretend it was a just nightmare.“ No. I was able to get away.” I replied befo
