ARIA'S POVClaude's attention was fixed on Irish and although she claimed she didn't like either of the twins, I could see her entertaining it. I grinned slyly. “It's fine Beta Claude. You don't have to go with me, I'll be fine by myself.”He tore his gaze from Irish. “Are you sure, My lady?”“Absolutely,” I said and hurried to my feet.Beta Claude stopped me. “Please wait, my lady. Let me get Beatrix to accompany you, or the Alpha won't let me see the light of day.”Irish sniggered.***I enjoyed Beatrix's company because she didn't ask many questions and she only spoke when necessary. “This is the garden, all the flowers are well tended for by the gardener, Felipe. He calls them his green children.”I chuckled and stared round the beautiful garden. It was coloured and I couldn't stop myself from picking a flower. It was an hibiscus. I inhaled it. “All the flowers are colourful, why does he choose to call them a specific colour?”“He once said, green is the colour of our world and gr

ARIAThe dinner had ended on a sour note, leaving me both annoyed and perplexed. King Zavier’s perception of me was entirely baffling. His piercing eyes, which seemed to see right through me, had lingered just a moment too long, and his dismissive comments about my abilities had stung more than I cared to admit. I pushed the thoughts away, trying to shake off the frustration that clung to me.Everyone left the table till it was just us. I glared at him wondering why a woman had to only take a stroll. It wasn't even something significant.Anyone could take a stroll, at least I was grateful he even let me walk with my legs. He could also ask the guards to carry me on their shoulders if he wanted.That was something someone else would appreciate but not me. I liked being busy. If I kept up with the way he wanted things to be, I'd be useless soon. And I didn't want that for myself.“Aria,” he called my name softly, his eyes piercing into mine as though he was trying to read me.I looked

ARIAThe healer's words echoed in my mind, confirming what I had suspected: everyone else knew about the upcoming ball except for me. I sat in my chamber, staring out the window, my thoughts everywhere. The maid entered, carrying a tray with afternoon tea.“My lady, tea,” she said.“Thank you, please just drop it on the table. I'll take it later.”She did as she was told but said, “Please do take it now, my Lady. It tastes better when it's hot. Cold tea isn't right.”I smiled at her. “Thank you Beatrix. I'll take it before it gets cold.”“Very well, My lady,” She said and bowed.“Beatrix,” I called, halting her footsteps.She turned around, “Yes, Lady Aree. Is there something you need?”I took a deep breath, deciding to ask her directly."Is there going to be a ball in the palace?" I asked, trying to keep my tone casual.The maid hesitated, her eyes darting away. "Yes, Lady Aria, there will be.”"Why wasn't I notified?" I pressed, a sense of unease growing within me.She shifted uncom

ARIAI spent most of my days practising my superpower. It worked mostly when I was scared but whenever I wasn't, it took longer to activate.Today, I managed to stay invisible for a full three minutes which set a new record for me. I praised Celine and she seemed really excited for me. I felt a sense of accomplishment but also an overwhelming anxiety. I dared not venture too far from my chamber, lest someone notice my absence.As I wandered the palace corridors, invisible, I noticed unfamiliar faces carrying giant cases. Curious, I followed them, my heart racing with both excitement and wonder.Whatever was in the gold case would be important because I never got to see these people all the time.Still invisible, I followed them with a speed as I tried to keep up with their pace.We climbed up the stairs till we got to the breeders quarters. They delivered the cases to the breeder candidates, who were busy selecting clothes and makeup for the upcoming ball. Il stayed outside their roo

ARIAI had experienced my share of uncomfortable moments, but this one was by far the most awkward and nerve-wracking. The grand ball was fast approaching, and I was desperate to get a glimpse of the breeders' preparations. I had heard rumours about their elaborate rituals and was curious to see if they were true. However, my curiosity had led me to a perilous situation– I had been caught spying.The breeders’ room was filled with she-wolves meticulously preparing for the ball, each one more stunning than the last. Their gowns shimmered under the soft light, and the air was thick with the scent of various perfumes. I had been hiding behind a partially opened door, trying to absorb every detail, when I felt a cold chill run down my spine. One of the she-wolves had noticed the door was ajar and was approaching to investigate.Panic surged through me. I knew I had to act quickly. Summoning all my strength, I focused on my ability to become invisible. It was a skill I had been honing for
