Ryder's POVI placed my legs on my stirrups and was about to lift myself onto my horse when it suddenly came to me that Aria did not know how to mount a horse. I quickly left mine and rushed to Aria's side to help her but then saw that she was already on the horse. "What's the matter, Ryder?" she asked with a smile that displayed her perfect milk white teeth as she turned to me. "Is there any problem?" "No, not really," I said, smiling as I slowly shook my head. "I thought your climbing the horse was going to be like yesterday.""Oh," Aria said as her cheeks flushed. She grabbed onto the reins of her horse and shrugged as she said, "I guess riding the gentle beast once made me accustomed to it. I really am actually a fast learner.""Yeah," I said, a soft chuckle escaping my lips as I stared at Aria. "You... you really are, aren't you?" Aria kept her eyes on mine for a few seconds before blushing again. She tucked a stray strand of her hair neatly behind her ears and shrugged again.

Aria's POVTwo months flew by faster than the wind on a summer eve and as it did, so did the bond that I and the Lycan King shared. If someone was to walk into the dining room at this moment ,they would have found the strangest sight ever - I, seated right beside King Ryder in the dinning room, having dinner with the alpha while we laughed as we discussed a conversation that was not suitable for the mildly spicy food we were eating, a topic that caused us to burst out occasionally in laughter. The night was calm and the weather was cold but thanks to the long sleeve pajama I wore, I couldn't feel much of the chill the night wind brought. Our laughter also aided me in forgetting any other discomfort I could have felt due to the cold. Not to far from where we sat was a fireplace though, one I was still grateful for, regardless of the cold I felt.A part of me knew that I would have been out here shivering like I had just been bathed with ice if not for that very fireplace. "I can nev

Aria's POV"Food," I heard someone say from behind the door and I stood from my bed. I walked over to the door and opened it. I then looked to the ground and saw a small plate wrapped in tin foil. I made to pick up the plate when one of the two guards standing beside my door spoke. "Don't try to run like you did last time, Luna Aria," he said as he turned his head slightly to face me. His face was blank and deviod of any emotion. He gripped tight the spear in his hands and said, "King Ryder ordered that I make sure you are not able to do so again if you do." I didn't know what to say to the guard. If he had said this kind of thing to me four days ago, he would have been picked up and thrown into the dungeon, never to see the light of day again. But now, he could say all of these without receiving as much as a scolding. I didn't take it to heart though. Ryder had been like that for the past three days now so it really wasn't surprising. What was surprising though was how fast everyt

London’s POV"Alpha London," the person outside the room called again as I walked towards the door. A knock sounded on the wooden frame and another call came again. "Alpha London--" The person's call was immediately cut short as I aggressively opened the door, a small growl escaping my lips in the heat of the moment. "What the fuck is it?" I shouted as I looked down at the maidservant that stood in front of me. Gina, the young maidservant, trembled, her whole body shaking vehemently as she stared into my dark eyes. "A-a... a m-message, Al-alpha London," she managed to say after a short pause, her voice barely above a whisper. She extended a shaky hands, her gaze brought down to avoid mine. I looked down at her hands and saw that she held a sealed envelope. "Who is it from?" I asked the young maidservant as I studied the insignia on the seal that had been used on the envelope. It wasn't one that I knew of and I wasn't sure I wanted to disturb myself over something that wasn't of imp

Ryder's POVA small metal clatter reached my ears and it stirred me up from my sleep. I made to open my eyes and stand but then a hand from the other side of my bed crossed landed softly on my bare chest, pushing me gently back onto my bed. "Aria," I whispered under my breath, a small smile falling on my face as I gently grabbed the hand on my chest. As I softly rubbed the a, a certain thought crossed my mind. Wasn't Aria supposed to be locked in her room? I shot my eyes open and brought my eyes to my chest. I wasn't dreaming - hand really was on me. But whose hand was it? I turned to the side, my eyes widening and a scream almost escaping my mouth as I saw who laid beside me. "Desiree?!" I shouted as I flung her hands from my chest. The sleep she was in seemed to be really deep as this action only caused her to adjust herself on the bed. I quickly took off the duvet that was over me and made to climb down from my bed to reassess the situation that I had found myself in when I s
