Aria

I carefully observed the shape shifter, wondering if he was saying all these just to save his dirty ass. But he didn't look like he was lying, not that I could as I was no mind reader. And despite how threatening I was early, I didn't think I had the prowess to intimidate people.

“How do we know that this isn't one of your last minute ploys to save yourself?” Brienne asked as if reading my mind.

“It is what it seems. But if you don't believe me, you’ll be risking a lot. It's a normal thing sorcerers do no matter the rank. It doesn't matter if they trust you or not, there would always be a backup assassin. Peradventure I was successful, I’d have to kill the back up assassin and send his head back first to show I won. On the contrary, he would kill me and finish up the job.” The shapeshifter explained, his voice desperate.

“Shit. It's more complicated than I thought.” Brienne paced about.

“There's a way out.”

This drew Brienne's attention as she paused in her steps.

“Which is?”

  • Scent of Betrayal   FINAL BATTLE IV

    AriaA cold breeze hit my face as we reached the shore. A large, warm hand snaked around my waist pulling me closer as we got off the ship—Kaiden. Really?” Brienne scoffed behind us. The weight of everything that happened in the sorcerer’s island still hung around. But all in all, we had survived. My aunt, Laura and the rest of the other Venegans and Wolgons, had returned back to their mountain. She gave me a golden comb in case I wanted to find her. I even got to meet Varaeys again, he and a few others had been appointed to clean up the mess in the sorcerer's island.When the rogues saw us, cheers broke out. They ran forward, Riven, some familiar faces from Fitcher and strange faces. The younger ones who had been hiding, all rushing to meet us. For a moment, I forgot the chaos we had just escaped as a genuine laughter escaped my lips.“They totally adore you.” Kaiden whispered in my ears.I smiled. “How did they find out? You were secretive or at least you tried to be.”He chuckled

  • Scent of Betrayal   FINAL BATTLE III

    KaidenIt was all my fault. I should’ve been more cautious, and I shouldn’t have allowed Aria to come with me, no matter how stubborn she could be. I’d left the sorcerer’s palace earlier to meet Loretta, hoping she’d know how to cure my bloodlust. But instead of answers, I got something worse.Her husband, Vincent, barged in mid-conversation, his face pale with fear. That was when everything came to light. Aria was in danger. The high sorceress—was pure evil.I had mindlessly followed his instructions, until I found the underground he described in the palace. That was where I saw her, Aria locked in battle with the last person I ever expected to see—Akira.She was supposed to be dead. I didn’t even have the time to question it. My sword acted before my mind did. I finished her off the moment she tried to stab Aria again, and the high sorceress soon followed, her golden eyes dimming as my blade ran through her.It should have been over, but then he came.My uncle—Jaime.When he trotted

  • Scent of Betrayal   FINAL BATTLE II

    I sat beside Laura, my back leaning on the rocky wall, listening to her speak.“All of this…every single thing that has happened,” she said. “Was orchestrated by the high sorcereress. She gathered the original Venegans and Wolgons. She wants to extract their powers, to make the sorcerers the sole rulers of the universe by unsealing the great dark magic.”For a moment, silence filled the room as I dwelt in my thoughts. At the end of the day, it was all about power.“She’s insane,” I muttered, shaking my head.“No, not yet.” My aunt chuckled, her eyes lowering. “She’s power drunk, and that would lead to her insanity.”Before I could say another word, the door behind us began creaking. And I immediately jerked up, calling on the shadows.“Eliana…” I breathed in surprise, as she was the least person I expected.She stood there with a smile as she hurriedly walked in. She had trimmed her hair shorter.“Aria,” she said softly, walking toward me. “I felt something was wrong. I left the rogue

  • Scent of Betrayal   FINAL BATTLE I

    AriaMy lips parted in shock. The men had indifferent looks on their faces, same with two of the women. But the last woman…stared at me deeply before her lips curved into a knowing smile. The wolgons, on the other hand, suddenly went quiet as I felt their dark gazes on me.My head swirled, it was all too much to take in. Before I could say a word, Brienne groaned, drawing my attention. My brows furrowed as I walked toward her with shaky steps. She was terribly battered.“Family reunion, huh?” She managed to smile despite her split lips.“Who did this to you?” The shadows hoisted me up until I stood on them like a dark, magic carpet, reminding me of the Aladdin from the Arabian nights tales.I brushed my fingers lightly over the wounds on her face.“It hurts, that bitch did a number on me.” she hissed.“Sorry.” I withdrew my hand.“How the hell did you find me, princess? I thought it was over.”I raised my hand, showing the necklace. “This. Somehow, it led me to you.”“A new power unlo

  • Scent of Betrayal   JOURNEY TO THE SORCERER'S ISLAND V

    AriaThe visions I saw from touching the necklace were blurry, but at least I was able to figure out where she was—in this palace. Just a day into the Sorcerers’ Island and we were already being conspired against.“Lady Aria.” The voice of the high sorceress pulled me back to reality.After what I’d seen, I’d gone searching for Brienne but ended up running into the high sorceress herself. She held me down, and I had to play along to avoid suspicion.“I found the sorceress Akira. Our records say she’s dead, and according to Kaiden, she killed herself—but he feels there’s more to it.” IIya raised her gaze from the book.I nodded slowly in understanding. “Apparently, she did that so she wouldn’t have to return my wolf and scent.”“Which she gave to another person,” IIya said, her tone almost amused. “Well…I’m glad to inform you that you’re lucky. This book contains the list of all sorcerers and whatever magic they can create—potions, spells, you name it. I have Akira’s magic over…here!”H

  • Scent of Betrayal   JOURNEY TO THE SORCERER'S ISLAND IV

    AriaThe woman stood before us, looking like a creature that fell right from the heavens. Her eyes were a golden colour, with matching hair. She was cladded in an embroidered, long silky flowing gown whose sleeves were decked with golden ornaments. There was a slit on the right side of the dress, long enough to show her gorgeous legs.“Thank the goddess for my preference.” Brienne walked forward, looking star-struck.Kaiden's reaction was more off, he had this look of indifference as he just stared at her rather casually. Even I was entranced by her beauty.“It is an honour to receive you all. You are special guests to our island, and we will serve you to the best of our abilities.” She smiled, her gaze occasionally lingering on me as she spoke.I couldn't help but smile back, she had an infectious smile.“Pardon my manners. I’m IIya, the grand sorceress of the Sorcerer’s Island. It's just like an alpha of a pack. I hope it doesn't put you off that a woman is a leader.” She chuckled.“
