Aria

I shut my eyes tight as I hid under the blanket, my face hot from embarrassment. I bit my lips hard, praying and hoping that he hadn't seen anything else I might die of embarrassment.

Dear me!

The room was silent, like nobody was in it. But I knew that Kaiden was there, and he was probably…I don't know.

“Aria.” His deep voice resonated, “Are you alright?”

“Yes, I am.” I hoped my voice was not shaky, exposing how I truly felt.

I groaned internally, wondering how to tell him to leave the room without sounding rude and making it obvious that I was half-naked.

I heard silent footsteps, then the creaking sound of the opening after which it was slammed gently. The room was silent, indicating that he was gone.

Slowly, I peeked out of the blanket, I was alone. I got off the bed, hurrying towards the door and shutting it. I couldn't afford to get into such situations again.

As I hurried off to the bathroom, my heart skipped at the thought that he must have seen me.

“No.” I shook my head,

  • Scent of Betrayal   SNEAK ATTACK I

    AriaI had stalled long enough, and couldn't keep hiding in my room. With the help of Brienne, I found my way to the library which was much bigger than the one in Flynn’s pack. If I wanted to perform Luna duties, I’d have to know more about the pack.With the aid of a stool, I searched for books on the upper part of the shelves that had to do with history. Then I found it, it was a large old book with a thick brown cover. On it was written—history of the rogue pack.“The rogue pack began with the era of Jace Darkhaven.” I read out loud, and below that paragraph was a black and white portrait of a man. Tall, muscular, shoulder-length brown hair and gentle gray eyes, Kaiden's father.The man had a soft, genuine smile in contrast to his son. I wondered if Kaiden had other brothers and maybe sisters. Curious, I skipped a few pages and jumped to the family tree.“Jace Darkhaven, first of his kind.” I read.There was another arrow that connected him to another named, Lena Darkhaven. And bes

  • Scent of Betrayal   FOREBODING WAR

    KaidenI didn't know why my mood changed upon hearing the name ‘Casius’. On a normal day, I didn't give two fucks about him, but the way she spoke, it seemed she didn't want him to die.Someone who had killed her grandmother by chopping her head off. Yet, Aria still made excuses for him, believing that Piper manipulated him into all this. I knew that was a big lie, if anything, it was the other way around. And I’ll prove it to her that her darling Cassius is a monster.“What got you so worked up? Another fight with your…darling wife?” I heard a chuckle, followed by a thud as Brienne made herself present.“How long have you been here?” My eyes narrowed.‘Easy boy, easy. Seems someone is in a bad mood. Well it's not of my concern as long as you don't rub it off me.” She rolled her eyes.I said nothing, quietly observing her. Her job was to act like a personal maid and keep Aria safe. Brienne was trained, and had strength which could be at par or more than my soldiers. She had saved me y

  • Scent of Betrayal   MIXED PRIORITIES

    AriaKaiden walked towards us, his figure imposing. He had that expressionless look on his face, where one couldn't tell what he was thinking.He had his brows raised at Brienne, who sat on my bed. I could tell that he was suspicious, and I needed to do something fast.“When did you start getting along with her?” He said casually, giving Brienne an indifferent look like he didn't know her.Wow. What a great actor.“Why are you here Kaiden?” I asked instead, crossing my arms.“Why am I here?” He repeated, chuckling. “What do mates do in each other’s room?”My face flushed and I stared at him in disbelief. What was he playing at this time? Brienne rose up, her head slightly bowed.“Welcome back alpha, I’ll give you both privacy.” She made to leave, acting all subservient.“I’ve heard rumours on how you rejected Brienne, and all of a sudden you both are getting along?” Kaiden had no intention of letting his suspicions slide as he pulled the chair from the table side, and made himself co

  • Scent of Betrayal   LETTER FROM AVARISH

    AriaI unsealed the letter and began reading its content. It was from Avarish, and there was only one person I knew there—Varaeys.“What if the letter is poisoned, and that bird entered here with some kind of sorcerer?” Brienne frowned.“Don't worry, it's not.” I smiled as I went through the contents of the letter.“Dear Aria,I hope this letter reaches you in good will. I won't bother to ask about your wellbeing, because I know your gray eyed husband is doing quite well, protecting you. I know you're already versed with the incident that led to that horse becoming a stone. It's your work, your powers are showing up after being dormant for years. I'm already working towards who you’d meet to clear all your confusions. News of your heritage has been leaked, and many are on the search for you. It seemed one of my men had snitched despite my trying to wipe their memories. But the good news is, the search is quite mixed up as they don't know the gender yet, and false rumours has also been

  • Scent of Betrayal   MISSION AT HAND

    AriaI hadn't seen Kaiden since the past few days after the marking incident. The thought of it still leaves my face hot. The mark was fading, and I had to always wrap a scarf to avoid the sneaky spies from noticing anything.Kaiden was right, I began to notice strange behaviours from some maids and guards in the tower. It felt like I was being watched since the marking incident. Brienne on the other hand, stuck around me like a fly would do with a corpse. Despite how petite she was, the unwelcoming scowl on her face was enough to put anyone out from getting close to me. She was more like a bodyguard.I picked up the scroll on which I had written the list of things I wanted to do. Becoming stronger, avenging grandma, getting my wolf and scent back, taking over Flynn’s pack. Everything concerning my Venegan relation, I tried to put it out, not that I wasn't curious. If anything, my curiosity only grew but it seemed knowing more would cause me more harm than good.But most importantly,

  • Scent of Betrayal   CURE TO BLOODLUST

    Kaiden My uncle had always told tales of how it is said that the Venegans, possess a great deal of power that could literally do anything. Some had powers that focused only on one thing, whilst the brutal ones had numerous powers. The Darkhaven family belonged to a long blood line of blood sucker werewolves. My father Jace Darkhaven had been able to guide this secret for many years before he was killed in the war. Well, it wasn't quite much of a secret.During the time of the war after my father had been labelled a traitor and declared a rogue, Jaime was nowhere to be found. It was said that he was out with one of his lovers. “And how are you going to get one? The last time I checked, they were wiped out during Clarke's madness.” Jaime believed that too, but for him to mention a Venegan as the solution to his aging, he must have definitely caught a whiff of something.“I have lived for many years, even before your mother was born. I have crossed paths with the Venegans, or should
