All Chapters of Scent of Betrayal: Chapter 81 - Chapter 85

AriaThe figure walked towards me, and I noticed the person’s posture, it looked stunted. But it could possibly be a child, right?But why would a child be on a horse in this kind of environment, something didn't seem right. Unless it's what I'm thinking…The figure removed the mask, revealing a matured, manly face with long blonde locks, and green eyes. His head was bigger than the rest of his bother, he was a dwarf.The shadows had left me again, in the presence of strangers. I didn't understand the game they were playing. One moment they were hovering around me protectively, the other, they were gone.“I'm Varaeys, the second prince of Avarish, the merchant kingdom and wolf pack. You are pretty, and I shall sell you for a great fortune.” The short man stroked his chin as his eyes raked my body.I stared at him for a while, and then at his horses and men. Who uses a horse in this modern age? And here he was, spewing about how he was going to make a fortune off me.If I thought I had

Aria I felt my heart beating so fast that I feared I might have a heart attack. It didn't help that to me, it seemed the horses were running quite slowly. “You have to be calm, milady. You look like you’re about to faint.” I heard Varaeys say as the horse galloped. My lips pursed as I threw him a slight glare. Someone I knew was about to die, and he was cracking jokes. If we were in a vehicle, I was sure we would have reached his goddamned pack since. What was Riven doing in Avarish? It was quite far from the rogue pack. I wondered what he could have done that could have led to them, wanting to behead him. “What was his offence?” I asked, amidst the noises that emanated from the galloping. “Nmm, I don't know. But, I know he was sent to another pack of ours to be beheaded. I heard he committed treason, but the pack didn't have the ability to behead him so they sent him to us. Avarish has quite a reputation of punishing traitors, even for other packs.” He uttered. Treason? I scof

KaidenI had wasted enough time with this…stranger, Darien. Time was far spent, and I wondered where Aria was and how she was doing. Despite the fact that she had my shadows with her, I couldn't help but worry.“I'm done playing this game with you, Darien. I’ll be off, consider that as me letting you off.” I said.He let out a dry laugh, then his face turned serious like he didn't just laugh a while ago.“I guess you're done asking questions, shadow king.” His eyes held a taunting look.“And I guess you're done with your pretense too.”“You and I know very well who is the pretender between us.” His lips curled.“I shall put the rest of my time in better use.” I walked past him, heading towards the doors of the dungeon.“Not so fast, shadow king.” I felt a whoosh behind my ears as he appeared before me, with the tip of his sword pressed on my neck.“Just one more move, and that would be the end. Then by tomorrow, the headlines would be, “Shadow king found dead in the dungeon with his
