INICIAR SESIÓNArianna’s POVFor a few seconds, I didn’t say a word. I just stood at the door entrance, staring at him.I reminisced on his words.“Just make sure you come back safely to me. You’re not a nobody. You are Arianna, my wife and the future Queen of Valtheris Kingdom. You matter more than you think. Always remember that.”The way he said those words felt personal. Far too personal for someone who he saw as just a vessel.Though I had heard Cassian call me his wife before, especially when he needed to remind others of my position. But this was different.There was something warm and possessive in his voice when he called me that. Something that had made my heart skip and butterflies dance in my belly. I lowered my gaze, suddenly feeling warmth spread across my cheeks.Why did those words affect me so much?Maybe because no one except my mother had ever reminded me of how much I mattered.Growing up, I had always been reminded of what I lacked.A wolf-less Omega, who had never been consider
Arianna’s POV“Arianna, how could you have said that?” Cassian’s voice cut through the room.He was standing before me, his blindfold gone and his intense gaze fixed on me.“Said what?” I pretended not to understand what he meant, when in actuality, I did.“Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m being serious.”“And I’m serious too, Your Highness.”I saw his jaw tightened as if he was trying to stop himself from losing his temper. “You just volunteered to walk into Dravaryn despite knowing how dangerous the Kingdom is.”“I volunteered to negotiate, not to start a war,” I replied calmly. “Do you even know what you are getting into? Why do you keep getting yourself involved in dangerous and complicated matters?” His voice was low, but I could hear the anger beneath it.I let out a deep sigh. “Cassian, I am merely trying to end this war.”“I know you’re trying to save us all, but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of your own life. Do you have any idea what could happe
Arianna's POV“Princess Arianna, please come forward and tell us the solution you promised to provide us with today,” the councilman standing in the middle of the chamber said.Silence enveloped the room, and every eye in the room was on me. They all waited patiently… waited for me to stand up and disgrace myself. But nothing of such would be happening.I confidently rose to my feet and walked toward the councilman, standing beside him where everyone could see me. I turned to the King, the Queen and the council, giving them a polite bow.“Good morning, Your Majesties. Good morning, Council Members.”“Good morning, Princess Arianna,” they responded, though some voices sounded as though they were being forced to answer.I straightened and looked around the chamber. I took a deep breath before my lips parted open.“I spent the past few days thinking about the conflict between Valtheris and Dravaryn. I studied everything I could find about the history between both kingdoms, the previous n
Cassian's POV“I’m fine,” I finally managed to say.“You're sure?” she sounded unconvinced.“Yes.”She studied my face for another few seconds before finally lowering her hand, relief washing over her features.“I’m glad.”Those two words hit me harder than they should have. My heart began racing wildly in my chest for a reason I didn’t know. I looked away immediately.Why was she like this? Why did she care so much about me?“You should be worried about yourself,” I muttered, looking back at her.She frowned.“I am.”“Then why are you asking about me?”Her expression softened.“Because I saw what happened to you.”My jaw tightened.“Then, shouldn’t you be afraid of me?”“I was.”Her response took me aback. She lowered her gaze to her injured arm.“When you attacked me, I was terrified. But not anymore.”Guilt clawed at my chest. Not anymore?“Why?”“Why what?” confusion washed over her.“Why did you stay despite knowing you could have died? And why aren’t you scared of me anymore?S
Cassian’s POV I hurriedly carried her up in my arms and rushed her to the bed. She looked exhausted, and her arm wouldn't stop bleeding.My gaze fell on the deep scratches across her skin, and my heart twisted painfully in my chest.I had done this to her. I had hurt her.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath.I carefully laid her on the bed and reached for the small medical kit in the drawer beside my desk.I had to treat her myself. I couldn't call the royal physician. Because the moment the physician stepped into this room and saw the state of it, questions would follow.Why was the Crown Prince's study destroyed?Why was the Crown Princess injured?The last thing I needed was the royal family discovering the terrifying thing happening to me. Especially not now.I had spent years hiding this side of myself. I wasn't about to let one mistake expose everything.I returned to the bed and carefully cleaned the blood from Arianna's arm. She didn't stir and that got me worri
Arianna’s POV“Get out!” Cassian's voice thundered through the room again.His voice made me flinch, but my feet remained rooted to the floor.“Arianna, leave!” he warned, his voice filled with agony.But I couldn't.Although every instinct inside me was screaming at me to listen to him and run, something I couldn’t explain kept me standing there. Perhaps it was the agony in his voice.He wasn't angry like usual. Instead, he looked terrified. Terrified of himself.“Cassian…” I whispered, forcing my feet to move forward.“I SAID GO!” his roar shook the room.I immediately stopped and took a small step backward, ready to take to my heels. But before I could turn around, a loud crack echoed through the study.I froze, my eyes drifting back to him.Cassian's body jerked violently.Another crack followed. Then another.“What is happening to you?” I whispered, horror flooding through every vein in my body.His body began changing before my very eyes.His shoulders broadened and his arms twi
