"Won't you kiss Darren, A..Aeza?" Aereza froze at her place, hearing that little boy's question who was staring at her with his doe eyes which were filled with nothing except innocence. For him, his words were innocuous just as he was but only if she could tell that little boy that it was everything but innocent for his dear Alpha Darren because when Aereza tilted her head to look at him, she found a sinister teasing igniting in those amber eyes of his after he heard little Ellais's asking that innocent question to her. Aereza sent him a glare secretly because she knew he was more than enjoying it. "Aeza…." Aereza heard that little kid who was now pulling on her nightgown with his tiny hand to gain her attention. She looked down at him and found him staring at her with his curiosity filled eyes. "Will you k…kiss Darren like you give kisses to Ellais and Lily?" He asked her in his adorably soft tone. Not just him, even his tiny kitten, Lily, was also staring at her, like she was ev
"Aah ……" a soft moan escaped from her mouth as soon as she felt his middle finger penetrating her slit. Her entire body winched in pain. Tears gathered into her eyes because that was the first time she had felt something getting peered inside her and it was painful. Hearing her hiss, he pressed his thumb against her pelvis and gently started rotating it in a circular motion, soothing her pain. Aereza dug her nails in his shoulder. She had never expected to feel someone like him, especially him. Her body was aching to pull him closer and closer.Darren slowly and carefully moved his finger inside her while devouring her mouth but then he noticed she had still not kissed him back. She had not pushed him away but he had not reciprocated either. He slightly pulled back and looked into her glossy grey eyes which were already on him. He could clearly see her still fighting that battle of hate and love but he blurred that thin line of good and right for her by pressing his lips against her
Aereza watched Darren taking her inside her chamber. He placed her down on her bed carefully which made Aereza immediately pull on the covers to cover herself with them. Darren witnessed her covering herself with the sheets while she hugged her knees and got a little away from him. He silently peered at her and then found her giving him suspicious side eyes. He understood what was going inside her too much running head which made him smirk. He sat beside her, making sure to rub his body against hers. She stiffened at the contact of their bodies. She glanced at him through the corner of her eyes. "What are you going to do with me now?" She could stop herself from asking him that question. She was anxious to know what he was going to do with her further. Her questions enlarged his smirk. He pushed his face closer to her, making her gulp. Darren caged her between him and the headboard by placing his hands on both sides of her. Aereza's throat dried up when she noticed that devilishl
"You were using me," she sounded disgusted. Aereza sent him a blazing glare and then tried to get up from the bed but he pulled her back. Darren trawled her on his lap but she immediately started struggling."Leave me. Don't….." She shushed her by placing his finger over her lips. Aereza found him staring at her with a tender emotion which she didn't know only she had evoked that emotion inside him."No, I didn't use you. I used people around you to reach you," he had no guilt or remorse for the things he had done to get her and it hurted her even more. Cradling the corner of her mouth, he gazed at her soft luscious petals."And I am not even a little bit ashamed of doing it because," his gaze shifted upward towards her eyes."For having you closer to me, I was, I am and I will be capable of doing anything with no remorse or guilt," Aereza was turning appalled with each passing second. This man is too cruel and fatal and for having her as his, he is capable of doing anything, no mat
Tears were continuously dripping down from her eyes. Her eyes had started hurting now but her tears didn't stop coming out from them. Her heart was shuddering inside her chest. With every passing second, Aereza was feeling like someone was numbing her soul cruelly. What if something happened to that 5 years old kid? How would she be able to forgive herself if that innocent life would have to pay for her carelessness? And what was she going to answer him who had trusted her with him?All the royal healers of the castle were trying their best to save Ellais's life. When the guards took him to the royal healer, his breathing had almost dropped. Darren immediately got the information about his accident and reached there. He didn't question anyone but just went straight inside that chamber where the healers were looking after Ellais's condition and were trying to cure him.Aereza didn't even notice from how long she was standing outside that door and was waiting for someone to come outside
Aereza was pacing here and there in her chamber. It was almost the middle of the night but her sleep was far away from her. She had not even properly blinked her lashes in relaxation. Her mind was all over Ellais. She was just hoping for some kind of miracle to happen that would turn that kid completely fine again. Holding back her unshed tears, Aereza eyes trailed towards his cloak which he had made her to wear that night in the dungeon. It was placed on the top of a table. Taking her steps closer to that table, Aereza placed her palm over his cloak. Even after throwing it, she could not make herself away from it and ended up keeping it nearer to her. Rubbing her palm over his cloak, her heart started throbbing. What he might be thinking about her? He had given Ellais's responsibility to her and she could not just even take care of him for some time? Somehow, she knew she was responsible for Ellais's accident. She should have never let Alexandria take him away from her. She should h
"Did you harm him so that you can hurt me, Aereza?" Those words of his made Aereza finally open her eyes slowly. Those couple of words of his felt like a cruel blow on heart like someone had started stripping her existence mercilessly.Slowly taking her head upward, she finally let their gazes collide with each other. Right now, the only thing she could see in his eyes was anger, rage and extreme amount of pain. The pain of getting betrayed by her and it shuddered her soul.Darren yanked her closer, slamming her body against his forcibly. Looking down at her, he again accused her with that soul shivering blame."Did you use Ellais to break me?" Her eyes watered instantly because she could not just hold them after knowing how low he was thinking of her. She had told him that she would never even think about hurting any innocent life in her hatred for him then how could he think that she had intentionally harmed Ellais to hurt him when she didn't even know whether she hated him or not a
Wrapping in a thin black cloth, Viviana was laying on her bed. Her eyes were closed as she was enjoying the body and head massage her attendees were giving her. "Lady Viviana," a maid of the castle, came rushing and bowed her head in front of her. She was panting heavily. Viviana didn't open her eyes to look at her. "Lady Viviana is taking her rest now, so leave," one of her maids warned the attendee. "I apologise to interrupt your peace, Lady but I have something really very important to notify you about," the maid tried to insist but Viviana didn't pay attention to her until "It's about Aereza and her punishment," the maid hopefully gazed at Viviana and she finally witnessed her parting her lips to reply. "Speak…." Viviana's calm voice resonated. "She has accepted her fault of dropping Ellais from her arms in front of the entire royal courtroom, so Alpha King has ordered to burn her alive in front of the entire Blood Night Pack as her punishment this morning," Those words o
