Chapter 1: Behind Bars

It was early morning, usually a peaceful hour, but the sound of horses and commanding voices pulled Aria toward the window. She drew the curtain aside and pushed the window open wider to get a clearer view of what was happening outside. Down in the courtyard, soldiers had gathered and were arguing as they wrestled with a new prisoner.“They’ve captured another werewolf,” her handmaiden said while straightening the bed.Aria didn’t take her eyes off the scene. It had been a long time since the castle had received a new werewolf prisoner—most had gone into hiding by now. How had this one been caught?The soldiers had difficulties retaining him, despite the shackles around his wrists and ankles. Five of them had to help each other to bring him down on his knees and then push him further down on his stomach.Up from the tower where Aria watched, she could see his large back, covered with crusted blood from being whipped. A soldier grabbed him by the hair and forced his head down, pressing

Chapter 2: Bitter Mornings

Aria sat at the breakfast table, her gaze fixed on the dark coffee swirling in her cup—it reminded her of the prisoner’s eyes. He had looked straight at her, unflinching, until the soldiers dragged him away. The intensity of that stare still lingered, unsettling her. And why hadn’t the sedatives worked on him?“Aria, are you alright?” Her uncle’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts. “Yes, Your Majesty,” she replied quickly.“You should eat. You haven’t been eating much lately,” he said, pointing toward her untouched plate.“Don’t pressure her,” Queen Meredith interjected. “If she wants to stay slim, let her. At her age, finding a suitor isn’t getting any easier.”Aria picked up her cup of coffee to wash away the bitter taste in her mouth. God, could she dislike this woman any more than she already did?"But Her Highness has extraordinary beauty," princess Yvaine began and Aria prepared herself to puke in her own mouth. "She only needs to be more… soft-spoken. I could help with t

Chapter 3: A Cry for Help

Aria couldn’t recall how she made her way back to her chambers. She slowly sank onto the edge of her bed, her thoughts a whirlwind of fear and uncertainty about what her sister might be enduring. She struggled to pull herself together, but the weight of the situation lingered. At least her sister was still alive. Was that a selfish thought to have?Aria clenched her fists. She would rather die than be used as a tool by those monsters. The thought of becoming one of their breeding stock—of having them touch her, let alone bear their children—was enough to turn her stomach.She stood and began pacing, her mind spinning with worries about her sister. The unease in her gut refused to fade. Did her uncle mean to suggest that the new prisoner might know something about her sister’s fate?Suddenly she remembered the way he had looked at her. Her sister was also her twin. They looked alike. He must have recognized her. Oh, God!Rushing to the door, she went to find her uncle. He was leaving w

Chapter 4: Message of Death

Aria and Adrian walked through the long dark tunnel that led to the caves where the different prisoners were chained. The new prisoner got a small cave of his own. As they neared she could hear the clinging of metal chains which meant that he was trying to break them. He stopped when they stepped inside and they caught sight of him. He was bare chested in the cold cave but Aria knew the cold didn't affect werewolves.The prisoner remained still, his dark eyes turning to the entrance and glaring at them with resentment. Aria had always tried to avoid being near these creatures. She always watched them from a far distance but now she was closer than she had ever been except for that one time. The one time that haunted her. The one time when she lost her parents in front of her eyes. She quickly discarded the memory as it caused her to turn cold and sick. To grow fearful. She didn't want to fear those beings. She would bring an end to them. But first, she would bring her sister back."Wh

Chapter 5: Echoes of the Past

Aria spent the rest of her day going between the laboratory and inventory. She didn't eat or take a break and her uncle who usually nagged her about it was on a trip. Adrian let her bury herself in work, knowing she was in too much pain to have free time that would allow her to think of other things, like where her sister was.Aria focused on developing her father's inventions further. Most of them needed precision and lots of practice. Aria wanted to make the use easier so more soldiers could use it. She had already developed an easier use of the clamp. The fire had been the most dangerous aspect of fighting the werewolfs and that was why the clamp was crucial in the fight against them.Now she was focusing on how to develop the terrorizer for a greater and more precise aim. If she succeeded then her development would also be useful for the graviton and the clamp."It is late now, Aria. You should go to sleep." Adrian said. "Maybe eat before that.""I am not done yet." She said keepi

Chapter 6: Disagreement

The prisoner narrowed his eyes as she walked in and then his lips curved into a smirk. He leaned his head back against the graviton and rested his arms on his knees."I knew you would come back." He said. "I thought you were a scared rabbit but you turned out to be a wild cat. I like it.""Really?" She asked for remaining calm. She walked further in until she was standing right across from him.He watched her behind his dark lashes. "Yes. The hunt will be more fun as will the kill.""You can keep fantasizing about killing me because it will only remain a fantasy.""I have never had a fantasy I never fulfilled." He drew."There is a first time for everything." She retorted.He leaned forward, studying her carefully."No need to study my hips. I have no intention of becoming a breedmate."That only amused him. "Don't worry. Even if your hips were wide enough you wouldn't be fit to become a mother. You lack warmth. Isn't that why they call you the cold-hearted princess?"She ignored him.

Chapter 7: Engage In

Aria decided to ignore the prisoner for a week before talking to him again even if that meant waiting to find her sister. There was no other way. A week shouldn't be long considering how long she had been searching for her sister already, but no matter what she told herself it was hard to just wait. Therefore she kept herself extremely occupied with her inventions.She would go outside each time to test the new developments she made and then go back and try again when she wasn't satisfied."Your Highness, that is the farthest a spear has been shot. This is great." The soldier said."It is not," she disagreed calmly and went back to make another change. She came back outside again and asked the same soldier to try so he could see himself if there was a difference and understand what she was trying to achieve."Oh," he said, watching the spear shoot into the air. "It has more force now."Good. Then she was on the right track."There needs to be enough force so when it hits the werewolf,

Chapter 8: Tension

In the numbness of pain, Marcus sensed a female scent. The sweet scent of daisies woke him up from his drugged state. The vile human king had left him chained to the wall, hanging by his arms. His legs could barely hold him up. He was losing a lot of blood from having been shot with obsidian bullets. Something his body couldn't push out on its own so he could heal.Marcus had tried to use his muscle strength to push the stones out from his body but after pushing out a few he got tired. The rest were also placed deeper and he didn't succeed in pushing them out so he remained enduring the pain and bleeding out.As the scent came closer, Marcus felt his rage grow. He refused to look weak in front of the enemy so he forced himself to stand up straight. His gaze quickly moved to the entrance and his eyes caught her slender form clad in white. Again. She must love the color and it made her look like the daisies she smelled like.That was until one looked into her eyes. Those cold eyes that

Chapter 9: Cold Truth

"I am very worried." She said but she didn't sound worried at all. She looked down at her notebook and made a few notes. What was she writing?"You should be worried about yourself." He told her.She gazed up at him. Her cold eyes almost made him shiver. They could look soulless sometimes. Ignoring his remark she continued to ask her questions."To be considered a pureblood, how close to your ancestors do you have to be?"Why was she curious about this?"So you have the purest blood among the living ones?""Amongst the living males, yes. Have you gotten any use of my blood, professor?"Ignoring him again, she wrote down a few notes. She was beginning to annoy him again but he couldn't help his curiosity. He had never seen a woman so cold. So composed and mission-focused."You are a black werewolf." She said without looking up from her notebook. "Do you know my father?""Every werewolf knows your father.""One of you killed him." She said calmly."I saw it with my own eyes."He stiffen

Chapter 10: Lines in the Sand

Aria left the cave feeling both satisfied and enraged. How could he speak ill of a dead person with such a straight face? She was so close to shooting him to death when he spoke about her father. Since he was the king he was probably the one refusing the peace treaties.Asking for peace was stupid? She scoffed. Alright then. He would see if asking for war was smarter.She snuck back to her room and Elda was as usually worried about her working so late. "My Lady, you will become ill soon if you work this long." She said as she came to help her change into her nightgown."You are waking up earlier than me and sleeping later. Who will get ill?""Well, I don't do much during the day since you are gone. I help others but even then I have plenty of time left to rest."She always had a reply so Aria remained quiet. Once Elda was done, "go to sleep now. I will read for a while before going to sleep." Aria told her."Don't read for too long, my lady," Elda said and wished her goodnight.Elda h
