Arianna's Fate

Kael's POV I sat on the throne in the grand chamber, my eyes fixed on my father, Julian, as he spoke. "The guards havs gone to fetch the girl who will help you unlock your powers."I raised an eyebrow, feigning nonchalance. "Oh, great. Another attempt to fix me." I said in a bored tone. I paused to roll my eyes. Once again, my father was here to remind me of my incompetence and inability to use my powers since for some reasons unknown to me, my powers had been locked away ever since I was born. Somehow, the fate of my powers depended on a strange girl, she was the key to unlocking them.My father's expression turned stern. "Kael, this is no laughing matter. Your powers are growing stronger by the day, and if you do not learn to control them, you will be a danger to yourself and others."I rolled my eyes at him, as if that was news to me. My father constantly reminded me of how I was like a ticking bomb to the palace. I was too dangerous to rule the kingdom and that was why I needed

Kael's POV I stood in the grand throne room, my eyes fixed on Elaine, my betrothed. She was a vision of beauty, with her golden hair and piercing blue eyes. But her expression was far from lovely.Elaine stood in front of me with so much rage in her eyes. Her fists were clenched tight as she spoke with so much disdain laced in her tone. "Kael, I demand to know what is going on between you and that...that slave girl." She spat, her voice venomous.I could not help but scoff. I hated how Arianna was addressed as a slave girl to everyone. She was nothing close to that. As a matter of fact, I expected everyone in the kingdom to see her as a noble person, after all she was going to sacrifice her life for the betterment of the kingdom, whether she did it willingly or not did not matter."Slave girl? Do not address her as that Elaine. Her name is Arianna." I said. I watched Elaine scoff at me, she shaked her head in disappointment. "Do I look like I care about what her name is? To me she i

Arianna’s POVI stood my ground, unyielding, as Elaine’s words hung in the air like a toxic fog. The cool breeze from the garden felt like an icy slap against my skin. I blinked, determined to grasp the reality of what she had just said, but my thoughts kept returning to Kael. His kiss—his touch—was etched in my memory. How could he kiss me if he was entangled with someone else? How could he betray me like this?Elaine faced me with eyes gleaming, a mix of malice and triumph dancing within them, like a predator that had just cornered its prey. I took a deep breath, my composure slipping, but I refused to let her see the storm of emotions brewing inside me."You're carrying his child?" I asked firmly, the weight of the question heavy yet resolute.Elaine nodded, the smugness on her face unwavering. "Yes," she declared, her voice filled with unwarranted pride. "You must be so naïve, Arianna. He has always belonged to me, and nothing will change that. Not even you."I clenched my fists,

Arianna pov The air was heavy, thick with the scent of rain that hadn’t yet fallen. But it wasn’t the weather that weighed on me. It was the burning ache in my chest. My gaze remained fixed on the distant sky, though I wasn't really looking at the clouds. I could feel the weight of them, dark and suffocating, swirling in my mind. Memories—betrayals, lies, and broken promises—rushed at me like a flood. Each moment carved into my heart like a sharp, cruel knife, and tears slipped down my cheeks unnoticed. Alpha Kael’s touch still lingered in my senses. His hands around my waist, pulling me closer to him. His kisses—gentle, soft at first, then more urgent, as if he couldn’t get enough. His breath on my skin. And then... Elaine. I couldn’t help but shudder at the thought. I took a deep breath and wiped my eyes, trying to regain some composure, but it didn’t help. I couldn’t stop the pounding ache in my chest. I was losing him, I knew it, but how could I ever truly let go? Suddenly, the

Elaine POVThe air in the room was thick with tension, a weight that I couldn’t ignore. Kael stood beside the large, mahogany desk, his fingers lightly tapping against the smooth surface, his eyes focused—not on the matter at hand, but on the woman who had entered to bring him a report.I could feel the heat rise in my chest, slowly suffocating me. The woman was tall, her brown hair cascading down her shoulder, soft waves that seemed to glimmer under the dim light of the room. She had this aura about her, graceful and composed, everything I wasn't. And Kael? He was staring at her like she was the only thing in the world. His eyes, dark and brooding, lingered on her every movement, drinking in every word that left her lips.Disrespect. It burned through me like wildfire.I could hear her voice, light and professional, explaining something about the pack dynamics—something that should have been irrelevant to me at the moment. But how could I focus on that when Kael wasn’t even acknowled
