Klaus POV I kissed Aria passionately like there was no tomorrow. I had missed those soft lips of hers so much that I never wanted to stop. For the lack of air I had to let go of her and stare into her magical eyes. The happiness that showed in her eyes was indescribable. I wished I could just stop time and stare at her till the end of my life. Her cheeks turned red and she smiled seductively back at me. I stared at her as she slowly started to unbutton my shirt saying: “I missed you so much” She ran her delicate hand down my chest and I hugged her closer to my body. She sighed loudly: “I can’t believe that you are finally back here with me” I pushed her back on the bed and laid down next to her. I buried my head in the side of her neck and inhaled deeply. Her sweet scent turned me on even more: “Aria” I called out her name and looked at her. She smiled back and bit her lower lip. I hovered on top of her continuing: “I want you” She giggled loudly and her eyes sparkled as usual. I

Klaus POV I was standing facing the door with an anxious heart and scared soul, when it opened and the guards stepped inside: “Your presence is needed alpha Klaus. Please follow us” They walked out and so did I. Finally, I was out of those four walls that drove me crazy in the past weeks. The guards took the stairs up from the palace underground prison and I followed to the great hall. The second I raised my head up I was startled. I saw Aria standing next to Sam, Elijah, Tory and others from Black who nodded their heads at me and there were new faces that I never saw before. Then I turned to the other side where James, and the whole of his pack stood. King Henry sat on his throne in the middle. I stood in front of him, surrounded by the guards. He nodded his head at them and they retreated to the side where alpha Franklin, Alec and Fay stood. I stared at them for a few good seconds. They were the packs that sided with James. I was still blocked, I tried to mindlink Aria and couldn’

Aria POV I poured it all into him. He felt every second of torture that he inflected on me and even more. I didn’t hold back or even feel pity for him. He deserved it. I was about to feel his heart stop from fear and pain when King Henry stopped me. He snapped his fingers and I lost total control over my power. “Aria” he roared my name and I turned my head towards him. He glared at me and I just looked down at James. He gasped loudly for air and laid down on the floor, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. He stared at nothing without saying a word. King Henry stepped down the stairs of his throne and stood right in front of me and I couldn’t hold back: “My King, you’ve heard everything. Everyone here heard it and it’s only fair that I kill him myself” I walked towards James, grabbed his hair and pulled it hard, showing his face to the King saying: “He has to feel everything I felt when he lashed me with his belt, 10 fucking lashes marked my body, and when he raped me, taking the l

Aria POVI opened my eyes gradually as I felt every bone in my body ache. The strength king Henry used was too much for me to tolerate. I wanted to raise my hand and touch my throbbing head but couldn’t. I turned my head to the side and saw Klaus sitting next to the bed, fast asleep while holding my hand tightly. “Klaus” I called out his name with a parched voice and tried to pull away my hand. His eyes snapped wide open and he stared at me. “Aria” he stood up and sat on the bed next to me. He caressed my cheek softly asking: “Are you okay?” he stared at me and I was immediately pulled into his soul. I could feel his worry rising like a Tsunami wave.I nodded my head and sat up: “I just have a headache”He sighed in relief and hugged me. I pressed my lips together in pain but quickly hid it from him. My whole body was in pain. “That’s fine. He didn’t hurt you, did he?” He let me go and stared at me. I didn’t want to answer this.“What did he want?” I asked curiously, changing the s
