Scent of Betrayal The One Who Answers With Truth
Kaidën Do I still care for Piper? It's a question I haven't allowed myself to think about for a while. The feeling expanding in my chest when I think about the kind of person Piper has turned out to be, isn't one I consider laced with fondness. I won't despise her actions, if I thought they were alright, after all the pack shifters deserve whatever comes to them. A ruler who plans to throw all of them into a dungeon, isn't the worst life they can hope for. They've thrown thousands more I to the woods all because they wanted to label us rogues, so I don't care for them, and I can't even pretend I do. It's the other thing she does that worries me. The deep rooted hatred in her for Aria—I know I should not care, after all Aria should be nothing to me. But I do. I can't help that every time Piper speaks ill of Aria, and talks about how much she wants to make her suffer, I burn with rage. My vision blurs and all I can see is the whitened anger coating my eyes. I want t
Scent of Betrayal The Beast Remover
Aria Silence fills the small vehicle, because Alpha Lugh doesn't say a word for a very long time. When he does, he first slumps on the floor, his head hanging low like he is resting from a great task he's just done. I nearly snort when I think about how someone so great and powerful can be subjected to fear, all because of some shadows. Except, I don't even know what they are. When Lugh opens his mouth again, the words he utters takes me by surprise. "If you know you want to live, you will get rid of that thing inside you." Live? Is he trying to say that Kaidën's shadows might kill me? But what if he's just saying this, so I'll be helpless against him? That way he can do whatever he wants with me. It's not like I can just tell the shadows to leave my body, and they'll listen. I don't know how Kaidën passed them to me, so I don't know how to send them back. Back then, he'd hugged me and held me tightly to himself, and when I pulled back I felt something moving inside
Scent of Betrayal The Fear He Feels
Aria I hold my eyes tightly closed, even as he screams out in pain, but after a while I force them open again. The Alpha isn't lounging at me, but writhing in the floor of the vehicle. I glance at him oddly, wondering why he's on the floor when he's the one who tried to attack me first. "What—what are you doing there?" Remorse find it's way into my words, as I take in the massive ball like position his curled into on the ground. When I move closer to him again, to try and help him up—even though he's done nothing to show he deserves it, he flinches and yells. "Get away from me. Get that monstrous thing away from me!" His voice is panicked and frantic, and I don't know what to do. On one hand, I should be grateful for this. Does this mean he is letting me go? But on the other hand, I'm still all the more confused by his reaction. His face is drawn out in fear and panic, and he looks like he might die if I touch him. I stand on shaky legs, and just continue staring at h
Scent of Betrayal The Twisted Answer
Kaidën "Will you ever tell me who you are—what you are, or will you continue dancing around it?" I ask with feigned disinterest. The man in front of me acts as cool as no one important, but then sometimes he gets a wild gaze in his eyes. And that reminds me that he is someone I know nothing about. He laughs, and there's something lighter in it than his previous laugh. I almost wonder if he's finally going to oblige me, but he doesn't. "Haven't you already used up your first question. Would you like me to answer that question next, or will you answer mine?" His tone is serious, every element of lightness in it gone, and my ears prickle with awareness. But it's not this man that causes it. The smell tinged with my shadows is getting closer—close enough that I can nearly taste it. Who is this person? A wolf thought flashes inside my mind. What if this person took Aria's life and took the shadows from her? I eye Darien warily, and think how impossible it might be.
Scent of Betrayal The Pieces of Him
Aria's Alpha Lugh's laugh is long and hard, and for a moment I wonder if he's going to snap my neck off when he's done laughing at me. Thankfully, he doesn't yet. "The goddesses'? Have faith in me? Those creatures only care about themselves and no one else." I let out a tired sigh. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But the way he's going about it isn't any better. My hands stretch out, feeling like the shadows inside me are battling for control, battling to get out. I vaguely wonder what they are in the first place. Maybe I should have asked Kaidën first before accepting a gift such as this. The darkness coming from the shadows inside me makes me feel a little dizzy, or maybe it's the fear of the man looking at me with wide crazed eyes. Either way, I don't feel too good. I feel like the insides of my body want to crawl out of me, and be displayed outside. It's a feeling unlike any other. "They created the rogues. Isn't that enough for you? Because of you, criminals
Scent of Betrayal The Questions
Kaidën "What do you mean you saw her? Did you watch Aria get beaten by those guards?" I press further, until we're nose to nose. He gives me a bored look, before shrugging like my anger isn't warranted at all. I suddenly get the urge to punch his face so violently, he takes days to recover from it. I don't care if he can heal himself. I want to hurt him. He raises a brow at me. "Why are you getting so worked up? I just said I saw her get beaten up. I didn't say I was there." He says slowly. My brows furrow. What? "So how were you there?" I ask, belatedly. The moment the words leave my lips, I have an inkling of what he might mean. It is probably the same way he must have seen me kill the head guard without actually being there. My tense muscles loosen, and I give him an assessing look. "My apologies for jumping into conclusion." Then I clear my throat a little, because I know I must have offended him. In fact, the only reason he's probably not tried one of his tric
Scent of Betrayal The Eyes That See
Kaidën "So you see we're very alike in that way, Shadow King. We kill the people we have already chosen to kill." He replies, like I didn't just tell him about my murderous plans for the man he'd killed. I don't even bother to feign surprise at his words. Instead I shoot him a glare. "How are you and I alike?" He shrugs. "Hm, in many ways Shadow King. But you won't understand it all now. Some day you will." It's my turn to shrug. "What do you want me to say then? That I need your help? What are we still waiting for?" I ask with disinterest. But then the scent comes to me, something that smells like my shadows—a smell only I can detect—but not my shadows at the same time. "The reason I've been bidding time is finally here. Aren't we going to welcome her, Shadow King?" Welcome her? What is he talking about? The confusion on my face must be clear as day to him, because I don't understand what he's going on about. I had thought he'd been delaying me either because he
Scent of Betrayal Know All
Kaiden I eye him suspiciously, before easing my hold on his body and pulling the knife I stuck in him out. He winces again, and shoots me a violent look. "Did you have to do that, you bastard? I swear I'll kill you one day." I can't help but laugh at him, and I extend a hand his way, pulling him up and shoving back to the wall. "Must you be so rough? Tsk, all Alphas are the same. Big headed creatures with no control." I tilt my head, observing his tone oddly. He doesn't sound as annoyed as I would expect. In fact if I ignored the gnawing feeling in my stomach I'll notice that he sounds sort of... fond. "Why aren't you upset about that?" I point at the wound in his hand—more like jarring hole in the center of his palm. He flashes me a warm smile. "Oh, this?" He hold his bleeding hands up, still staring at it with a weird look. "It's nothing." Then in a blink of an eye, the wound closes, and all the blood dries up. My mouth falls open and I can barely hide the surpri
Scent of Betrayal The Last Words
Kaidën. "At the end of the day, did the omega really have a choice? Did you ask yourself why you practically forced her into your agreement?" He probes with a mocking look. I scowl at him, feeling oddly self conscious and irritated with myself. If what he says us true, then am I any better than the people who hurt Aria? The only difference is that I have guided mine under the term protection. My ears rattle, and I drop the sword to the floor. "That's a lie. I wanted to help her—even though she needed to help me first. It was a fair deal." It was. He laughs at me again, in that condescending way he seems to be doing. I suddenly have the urge to punch his face, and bash his nose in. "You don't know anything about what I've had to do." I advance towards him, crowding his space and expanding my alpha presence till it nearly consumes everything around me. He clears his throat and swats his hands in front of me, like he's swatting off a fly. "No need to consume me with y
