ARIANo. I refused to believe Felix, Harriet, or Tyrion died, and I would never believe a murderous witch who said so. I reached out to Tyrion using the mind link and prayed that he would answer.‘Aria, we're all right. Wait there, and we'll find a way to get to you,’ Tyrion said.I sighed in relief, but I couldn't obey him. ‘I'm going after the witch. She is going to the other part of the castle. Try to get there," I told him.‘Aria don't!’ I heard his angry voice through the link, but I chose to ignore him. My eyes were already on the witch, who had just run inside the other building joined by the covered bridge.I darted after her, driven by rage and hatred. The witch's black cape floated behind her as she turned into another corridor. I was almost catching up with her, but then she ran into something that used to be a ballroom. Now, its roof was ripped off and the marble chessboard-like floor was covered by rocks. Then I noticed a large hexagram inside a circle with magical symbol
ARIABefore the entire coven's castle turned into ruins, we discovered what had happened to the witches once Hespera "collected" their magic. Their bodies didn't disappear—they were stashed in a high pile of horrifying, bloody sacrifices in the corridor behind the ballroom. None of us said it aloud, but if Hespera had possessed all their magic, then it was more than merely possible that she was still alive, and we needed to prepare for her to attack again…"I need you to tell us everything you heard from Hespera one more time," Harriet demanded.Tyrion put his arm around me and pulled me close to him. "Give her a break. She told you everything a few times already.""I don't want us to miss any important detail. We need to figure out what she is planning," Harriet stated, crossing her arms.I sighed, feeling that my temple veins had already started to throb. It had been four days since we had returned from the coven. Aziz was still in the hospital, and Nova suffered from recurring head
ARIA "Aria, are you all right?!" Tyrion wrapped his hands around my trembling body. I couldn't stop crying, and I could still hear the cold Tyrion from my dream. I could feel the way his claws cut through my flesh, mercilessly taking my life away, and now, Tyrion's embrace felt too overwhelming. I pushed him away and crawled to sit at the foot of the bed. He observed me, confusion in his eyes, while I stretched my hand forward in a halting gesture, warning him not to get any closer. I knew that it was unfair to him, but I needed a moment to gather my thoughts. "Talk to me, angel," he said softly. I shook my head. "It's fine… It will be fine," I muttered, swallowing a deep breath to stabilize my rate. His eyes examined my obviously disturbed expression. "You don't look fine." I forced myself to smile. "I will be fine. I just had a very bad dream." "What did you dream about?" he asked, concerned. "Um…" I lowered my head. "I dreamed about the dark witch... and all those witches fr
TYRIONI didn't want to leave Aria. Seeing her cowering, crying, and reluctant to accept my touch was unbearable. She said that she was going to be fine, but it sounded more like she didn't want to talk about it. I respected her choice, yet the image of my shivering mate stayed in my mind for the rest of the day, filling me with anxiety.It was hard to focus on my duties, but I had to. I called the royal council meeting. It was time they stopped demanding and started helping like they were supposed to. After I got rid of the pests, Aldo Lefebre was appointed a natural council's leader. I couldn't be more glad of that choice. The mood in the council seemed to change as well. I could sense no stink of hostility or fear as I entered the audience hall to sit with the council."I came to inform you of the current situation, and I demand your assistance and guidance," I started. "A few days ago, my Luna fought against the dark witch. We now know that her name is Hespera. Hespera attacked he
ARIA My whole body hurt, but the dumb smile didn't leave my face. Was it what people call happiness? If so, then the hot embodiment of my happiness was lying next to me. His upper arm served as my pillow while his forearm uncontrollably caressed my back. Tyrion's other hand was lazily lying on my waist, giving him easy access to my naked buttocks. From the second I opened my eyes, I could enjoy his amazing features in a deep, peaceful sleep. I could never get enough of him. He had the amazing ability to disarm my fears, build my confidence and strength, fire up my senses, and overfill me with pleasure. Still, I knew that each day I would wake up in his arms, I would only ask for more. He was the cause of my insatiable thirst. "You're doing it again, angel." His deep purr sent a direct signal between my thighs. "I'm not doing anything… yet," I said hoarsely. He chuckled and pulled me close so I could feel every rigid inch of him. "You're aroused," he whispered as his hand stroked th
ARIA I had an odd and disturbing dream. It was nothing like my terrifying vision of Tyrion and me, but it still left my heart wildly pounding and my body tense. In my dream, I was merely an observer. I saw two little, smiling girls, and somehow I knew that it was Harriet and her sister. Harriet had her brown hair tied in a cute ponytail while her red-haired sister's hair was braided. They both wore similar dark-gray dresses with long sleeves, resembling the long robes the coven witches had. They were running through a flowery meadow. Then, they stopped to spin around among the flowers. At one moment, a butterfly sat on Harriet's finger. Harmony tried to touch it, but the butterfly flew away. Harriet picked up a red poppy flower and handed it to Harmony. "Harmony, look! Isn't it pretty?" she said. Harmony narrowed her deep-green eyes, and the flower dried in her hands. Then she gave Harriet a cold stare. "Don't call me Harmony. There is nothing harmonious about me," she hissed. Harr
TYRIONI was waiting in the side room attached to the auditorium, waiting for the ceremony to begin. It was supposed to start fifteen minutes ago. The audience had already filled their seats, and everyone was waiting for my mate to walk in and dazzle them with her beauty. Nova and Nessa stood next to me, and I could see they were more nervous by the second, just like I was.‘Alpha Tyrion, come to your office. This is deadly urgent!’ Aziz's sharp-edged voice sounded through the mind link.‘Aziz, you were supposed to be here. My wedding is about to start,’ I said, irritated.‘Where is Felix? Is he somewhere near you?’ Now I could sense panic in his voice.I leaned outside to check if he or Aria showed up, but there was no sign of either of them. ‘No. Felix is with Aria now,’ I replied.‘We need to find him and arrest him!’ he shouted frantically.‘What the fuck are you talking about?!’ I roared.‘Alpha, I've just received the remastered footage with a clear picture. The one who killed t
ARIAI felt as if my body had been run over by a truck at least five times. At the same time, someone had installed hammer drills inside my head, and I could feel them piercing through my skull. I think I hated wolfsbane more than silver poisoning. And now the pain caused by the poison, mixed with the heartache caused by the betrayal of someone whom I trusted...A painful groan left my throat as I opened my eyes, and I was strangely grateful for not being blinded by light once I did. The place where I was looked like a cave filled with lit candles. I was lying on the hard, stone ground. I was cuffed in silver, and each of my hands was chained by a separate chain to a wall. The length of those chains allowed me to either lay on the ground or sit against the wall. I kept wondering why I was brought here. Should I be grateful for being still alive?"I can see that you're awake, she-wolf." Hespera's voice echoed in the cave's empty space.I turned my aching head toward the sound and saw h
