Aiden’s Pov

It was past afternoon. I had just finished having a long productive meeting with Fred and some of our top warriors. We were reviewing the security around the borders, checking for weaknesses in the territory or any rogue sightings and activity. Thankfully, there wasn’t. Everything had been quiet for days. No sign of threats or unusual movements.

But even with that good news, I wasn’t feeling complete. Something just didn’t feel right. I had this strange emptiness in my heart and I knew why. I hadn’t seen Rose all day. Not even a glimpse of her.

It didn’t feel right not having her around especially after what had happened lately. I just wanted to see her, hear her voice, make sure she was okay.

I headed to her room, hoping she’d be there. But when I opened the door, she wasn’t there.

My heart sank.

I mind linked Ivy, “Hey Ivy, have you seen Rose today? I just left her room and she wasn’t there.”

“I haven’t seen her as well, Aiden. I checked her room after I sent a servan

    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

    Rose’s PovI turned my head and I was so shocked by what I saw that I stiffened. She was the most adorable and striking lady I had ever seen in my entire life. Her gown glittered under the sun. It looked like it was made from the finest and most expensive fabrics. It was colorful yet graceful. Her makeup accentuated her beauty even the more. Her eye liner was perfectly drawn on her face as if it was done with a ruler, her red lips glowed lush and her cheeks… smooth without any wrinkles or spots. It was just like a baby’s.Even though she wasn’t slim but a bit chubby, her tall height and elegance made her look like she was a goddess who had just stepped out of her abode. Her very dark hair was perfectly arranged and packed into a neat doughnut bun at the center of her hair. Her long nails were painted dark red. She was flawless, without any blemish. Her looks from head to toe screamed wealth and power.On her head was the beautiful crown, shining brightly, made with diamond and havi

    Rose’s PovI ran as fast as my legs could carry me and thank the moon goddess, I was able to escape that strange experience yesterday. When I remembered it, my heart still beat very fast, but I was safe, at least.The day was so bright that the golden roofs of the palace were sparkling like the sun. Today was completely different from other days. The whole palace was full of joy and noise and was lively. Trumpets and drums sounded all over the palace. It was not just music or chants but celebration. I peeked through my window and my breath almost stopped because of what I saw. There were beautiful dancers dressed in resplendent royal colors, spinning around, their feet dancing and stamping to the beats and very high note of the flute. They danced to the rhythm of the beat. They moved so gracefully and flexibly. I saw colors and banners flying in the wind like waves in the ocean. It was even louder at the village square. Different entertainers were performing tricks that looked too
