Rose’s Pov

After Aiden left the dining hall, Fred followed him a few minutes later, leaving just Ivy and me at the long, quiet table. The once lively atmosphere had turned boring. The joy we had felt a few minutes ago had faded away, and replaced by an uncomfortable silence that neither of us knew how to repair.

The food on our plates remained untouched. I was no longer hungry and from the way Ivy kept sighing and kept playing with her fork, it was obvious she had lost appetite too. Cassandra had succeeded in ruining our evening.

“I hate her so much.” Ivy blurted out suddenly, breaking the silence.

I stared at her, shocked by her tone, although I understood completely how she felt.

“I mean, Cassandra.” She added, as if it wasn’t obvious.

Hearing her say it loud made me realize that I was not the only one that found Cassandra unbearable.

I tried to brush it off, even if I was still annoyed, “Maybe, she was probably upset or her mood got spoiled.”I said softly, trying to even believe

    Aiden’s PovJust as I was enjoying the moment I’ve craved all my life, that guard came to interrupt me. I wanted to tear out the door and the hinges, I swear. The way she looked at me with those wide and vulnerable eyes, and her lips were slightly parted as if she wanted to let me come in, not just physically but into her world and soul. For so long, I had waited for this closeness. Nothing else had ever ignited a fire inside me like the way her presence always did. Her red lush lips begged me to kiss her, they were just hard to resist. The way her plump cheeks curved, with deep dimples, they were just too enticing and impossible to let go. And her body… her curves, fitting very perfectly into my hands and the warmth that came from her skin totally drove me insane.I was no longer thinking straight. Before my mind reacted, my body already did. My cock was already hard and my entire body was ready to make love to her, to mark her and to show that she was mine and mine alone. For th

    Rose’s PovAs I peeled my eyelids open, it felt like a stone was placed at the top of my eyes. My eyes were so heavy as if they wanted to keep me sleeping like that forever. I felt a throbbing pain in my head as if a hammer was being used to pound it from the inside. At first, my sight was blurry. The whole place felt like it was moving as I saw something like shapes flying in the air. I thought I was going to faint again. I began to blink slowly and carefully. I did it several times until the room began to steady. Little by little, things got into focus. I looked around the room and it didn’t seem quite familiar to me. The walls and interiors were and fancier than the ones I was used to seeing. They were neatly and beautifully decorated with very light hues. Beneath me, the bed felt like it was going to swallow me. It was way too soft. The bed linens smelled fresh with tiny hints of lavender and herbs stuck on them. It was enticing and smelled too nice. “Where- where am I?” I mu

    Caine’s PovCassandra had done her part, and by now, Rose was probably gone. Even if she was not dead yet, she was very close to it. Thinking about it made my lips curl into a devious smile. Poor Rose. She was always fragile and hiding behind Aiden, who was her knight in shining armor. Now he was nowhere to be found. Not by her side. Not saving her. And even if he came back, it would be of no use to him. Cassandra had done a great job. Rose’s body would be hidden deep in the ground. It would take something more than love and loyalty for Aiden to bring Rose out of the grave. By the time he found her, if he ever did, she would be nothing but history. I could feel my plan all coming together for good.“A sound interrupted my thoughts. One of my guards appeared, bowing low. “Your Highness,” he said, his tone low and urgent. “The king has dismissed Beta Gerald. He wanted to rest. He is alone now.”My heart skipped and then pounded hard. Finally, My chance.I had been waiting for this o

    Aiden’s PovThe blood’s smell was very heavy in the air that it was hard to ignore. Ivy ran forward, bent down and sniffed the blood too. Her eyes were wide with panic and her face went pale immediately. “It’s hers…” she whispered under her breath as if she was scared to say it out loud.The whole of my body froze as my heart sank inside my chest. “Rose must be somewhere around.” I said in a low voice, though my mind was unable to concentrate and unable to focus. All of my thoughts were disorganized. As my heart beat, her name kept screaming in my head. The moment I forced myself to take another step, the ground under my feet felt like it had moved and I nearly tripped. The ground felt very deep in that spot. My instincts told me something was beneath. I squatted down and narrowed my gaze, using my Lycan sight to look down. Then I saw the ditch. It was very dark and deep, almost invisible. Rose’s scent now became so strong that it almost suffocated me. My heart almost jumped out of

    Aiden’s PovFrom a distance, I could hear the loud sound of drums and music flying all over the place before we arrived at the palace. Fred and I approached the Palace with some of our guards and horses. Everywhere was bubbling. The fireworks being lit up at the sky bursted out different colors that brought out the beauty of the night. From what I saw, the celebration was flowing in full force and I could tell that the royal hunt festival had gotten to the greatest height. From the way the people danced, laughed, and sang, it seemed like everything was in the world was perfect.Yet, I felt something off inside me. While Fred rode on his horse behind me, a group of guards followed us behind. My chest felt very heavy as if something had been placed inside it even if I had tried to concentrate on the beautiful evening. It was not just because of the fact that I was exhausted from the long journey, but it was something else that I just couldn’t figure out. The people began to cheer l

    Rose’s PovMy fists were clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms. As I tried to hold myself together, my body kept trembling. My chest rose and fell very fast with quick and uneven breath. With the way my throat was tight, I felt that if I had tried to open my mouth, a scream would definitely tear out. I had been stripped of my dignity, once again, in front of everyone.“You heard her,” Luna Eva’s sharp voice rang out, cold and proud. “Let the ceremony continue.”The way her command echoed across the hall was just like magic. It felt like nothing had ever happened. The drums started to beat even louder and faster. I was almost unable to concentrate. The dancers moved with a greater energy as their colorful clothes spinned in circles, under the fading light. The people clapped and cheered as their applause rose into the air. Everything flowed again and it just felt like the humiliation I had faced was a little interruption that was not important. And then Luna Eva shove
