Riven was still unconscious. The physicians from the tower said he had been injected with some kind of drugs, in an over dose. Though it wouldn't cause him any harm, it was the reason for his unconsciousness.

“How do you see Avarish milady? Beautiful, isn't it?” I heard Varaeys say.

I snapped out of my thoughts, I hadn't even been observing anything. The carriage window was slightly opened so I poked my head out.

“Careful, else some rebels chop your head off with a clean slice.” He chuckled, but I didn't find it funny as I slowly turned to glare at him subtly.

“Ahem, I guess your sense of humour is quite low milady.” His lips curled.

For someone I just meant, he was hell bent on getting on my nerves.

“Come to think of it, I don't even know your name.” He raised a brow.

“I'm—” I paused, unable to continue.

What if he finds out who I truly was? That I was the granddaughter of the deceased head of the Flynn pack. What if he was one of granny's frenemies?

I had to be careful, but if

    KaidenI had wasted enough time with this…stranger, Darien. Time was far spent, and I wondered where Aria was and how she was doing. Despite the fact that she had my shadows with her, I couldn't help but worry.“I'm done playing this game with you, Darien. I’ll be off, consider that as me letting you off.” I said.He let out a dry laugh, then his face turned serious like he didn't just laugh a while ago.“I guess you're done asking questions, shadow king.” His eyes held a taunting look.“And I guess you're done with your pretense too.”“You and I know very well who is the pretender between us.” His lips curled.“I shall put the rest of my time in better use.” I walked past him, heading towards the doors of the dungeon.“Not so fast, shadow king.” I felt a whoosh behind my ears as he appeared before me, with the tip of his sword pressed on my neck.“Just one more move, and that would be the end. Then by tomorrow, the headlines would be, “Shadow king found dead in the dungeon with his

  • Scent of Betrayal   THE SAVED HEAD

    Aria I felt my heart beating so fast that I feared I might have a heart attack. It didn't help that to me, it seemed the horses were running quite slowly. “You have to be calm, milady. You look like you’re about to faint.” I heard Varaeys say as the horse galloped. My lips pursed as I threw him a slight glare. Someone I knew was about to die, and he was cracking jokes. If we were in a vehicle, I was sure we would have reached his goddamned pack since. What was Riven doing in Avarish? It was quite far from the rogue pack. I wondered what he could have done that could have led to them, wanting to behead him. “What was his offence?” I asked, amidst the noises that emanated from the galloping. “Nmm, I don't know. But, I know he was sent to another pack of ours to be beheaded. I heard he committed treason, but the pack didn't have the ability to behead him so they sent him to us. Avarish has quite a reputation of punishing traitors, even for other packs.” He uttered. Treason? I scof

  • Scent of Betrayal   OFF WITH HIS HEAD

    Riven I looked at Piper, unsure if what she was hinting at or what she meant by Kaiden took us for fools. “And what do you mean by that?” “Alot Riven, quite a lot.” She laughed as she deliberately walked slowly towards me, sashaying as her hips swung from side to side. Now that I noticed, she was dressed in a gown, shorter than normal; at least to me. Then she stood in front of me, using her fingers to draw lines on her chest through the shirt I wore. My body stiffened, and I immediately felt tense. “Stop it, Piper.” I growled. “Stop what?” She tilted her head to the side, feigning ignorance. “Whatever shit you're trying to do with me.” I gritted my teeth. “Oh really, so it's working. I was right, you indeed feel…something for me.” She chuckled. “In your dreams.” I said, albeit knowing she was right. But I would rather die than accept that. Those feelings were something that was slowly dying off, and it wouldn't take long before it disappeared, at least. “What do you mea

  • Scent of Betrayal   Learning to Bond with the Shadows II

    AriaThe figure walked towards me, and I noticed the person’s posture, it looked stunted. But it could possibly be a child, right?But why would a child be on a horse in this kind of environment, something didn't seem right. Unless it's what I'm thinking…The figure removed the mask, revealing a matured, manly face with long blonde locks, and green eyes. His head was bigger than the rest of his bother, he was a dwarf.The shadows had left me again, in the presence of strangers. I didn't understand the game they were playing. One moment they were hovering around me protectively, the other, they were gone.“I'm Varaeys, the second prince of Avarish, the merchant kingdom and wolf pack. You are pretty, and I shall sell you for a great fortune.” The short man stroked his chin as his eyes raked my body.I stared at him for a while, and then at his horses and men. Who uses a horse in this modern age? And here he was, spewing about how he was going to make a fortune off me.If I thought I had

    Aria I said nothing in reply to his question, but instead took careful steps till I was at the door. “I'm right.” He chuckled.Did I really care for Kaiden? Deny it as I may, deep down, I knew the answer to that question.“You know, even if you decide to run away from me, I would still catch you. Or maybe not.” He paused, staring at the shadows with a look filled with hate, disgust and fear.“Considering those…things hover around you. But tell me, where were they when you were captured, sold, treated like an animal?” He asked.I had no answer to the questions, and I had no idea why they were here now. But I knew one thing, if I needed to escape this place in one piece, I needed them. “You're finally scared of something.” I muttered, “And I guess it's to my advantage, as I can leave without fear of you harming me.”“You think I’ll kill you.” He laughed dryly, “I know I’m a monster. But do you think of me as the worst monster to ever exist?”For a fleeting moment, I thought I saw pa
