Chapter 31: To Find My Ground

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ"I know I did wrong," Aaron said. I saw the confusion in his eyes, the stress, and the hurt.But what about me?"Yes, you did. And you would do more harm if you do not give me the space I need, Aaron. We can have this conversation another time," I told him. "If you'd excuse me." I lowered my head, leaving.Anna followed behind me as I shut the door."This is quite a mess, my Lady," Anna expressed as we stepped into my bedroom chamber."Indeed, we'll need all the hands we can get. How do I sleep in this mess?" I groaned."I'll get all the extra hands I can," she said, turning to leave when I grabbed her hand, pulling her into a hug. "You saved me, both you and Louise. Where is she?""With her mother.""Thank you. We must find a way to compensate both of them," I told her."Of course, my lady," Anna said with a small smile. "Now, I must get other maids to clear up as much as we can.""Yes, please," I said, letting her go.I made my way through the pile of scatte

Chapter 32: Karma

AARON SHROVADeva had every right to push me away, especially after how she was treated. It was hard not to feel initially betrayed after Sophie told me what she did.I had honestly thought she planned to end my life.How could I not trust it when it was Sophie's word?How does one contain all the emotions I feel?Sophie had lied to me.It did not seem like the first time.My head fell back as I twirled the glass of wine. The same brand that was poisoned.As it stands, I'll have to test every drink for poison before I consume it.A knock on my office door made me sit straight. I could not afford to let anyone see the mess I was.It was the way I was raised. The way I ought to be. The nature of a Shrova."Alpha Aaron, the Beta is here to see you," my guard told me."Let him in," I told him."It is one hell of a night, my friend," Henry said as he stepped in."You do not need to state that twice, Henry," I raised my glass. "Wine?""You are brave, Aaron. I wouldn't want that near my mout

Chapter 33: The Woman I Had Been Living With

AARON SHROVAI spun around. "Open the door," I told the guards.I was met with Sophie's enraged face. "You did it.""Yes, and I'd do it over again if it would work," she coldly replied."Are you out of your mind, Sophie?" I questioned.She stayed still, her lips trembling."Answer me!" I slammed my fist against the door, making her flinch."Yes," she replied, her voice shaky. "Because of you, I have become a mad woman. Look at me, Aaron!" She raised her voice. "Do I look sane?""Why did you do it?" I asked, running my hand through my hair, pacing back and forth. "Why? I thought I could trust you. But-""You can trust me. I did it because of Deva. She was going to harm you sooner or later." Her eyes and voice pleaded. "I am the same Sophie." Then her voice cracked. "Please. I did it for you.""No, do not say that again. You did nothing for me. It wasn't for me. It was for you," I replied. "What benefit is all that to me?""You looked at her the way I’ve always wanted you to look at me.

Chapter 34: A Beautiful Dream

AARON SHROVAThe wind gently blew her dark hair, and I ran to her, carrying her and spinning her around."Aaron!" She smacked my shoulder.She squealed as I continued to spin her."Hey, put me down," she screamed, and I did, gently letting her feet touch the ground.Her eyes widened as I caressed her cheeks."You're here," I kissed her forehead, the second time I would cry today."I-I am," she nervously replied."Is this a dream?" I chuckled. "I thought I had lost you.""You have, though," she withdrew my hand from her face."Lana, please!" I held her hands tightly but carefully enough not to hurt her."You left," her voice sank deeper."I did not mean to." Her tears dropped onto my hand, stinging like venom."But you did," she sobbed."Every day, every single day, I have been in pain. Unable to heal, unable to move on. You are, you will always be my only love," I urged her. "Look at me."Her head remained low, her eyes reluctant to meet mine."Just look at me," her hands trembled in

Chapter 35: The Girl I Once Was

Chapter 36: A Humble Apology

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ Lady after lady.Guest after guest.And the seats were filled. High-pitched laughter filled the air, and the little crunching of biscuits and tiny pastries could be heard."You have outdone yourself, High Consort Deva, truly," a lady in a red dress hat, her fingers clutching the cup handle through her short red gloves."I could not agree more, and in a short amount of time. Honestly, I usually take two days to plan out a tea party, and I've actually never thought of something simple and pretty like this," a noble lady added.The other women murmured in agreement."Last night did not go as planned. It would not be right to let you all depart from Moonray without a pleasant memory at least," I smiled. "Scones, anyone?" I took a tray from a maid."Oh, Lady Deva, please! A woman of honor and valor should not be doing a servant's work," the lady in sapphire spoke."No, Lady Mira. I want to do this myself. It gives me a great sense of joy," I smiled."You cannot ex

Chapter 37: To the End

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ"You cannot do that!" Luna Sana yelled from behind. "You will not ridicule my daughter by reducing her to nothing."Aaron replied with a straight face. "You cannot tell me what to do in my own pack. Perhaps it has not occurred to you yet what a grave sin Sophie has committed.""I am surprised she has not been sentenced to death. I know I would do that," Alpha Cain said, smugly. What a coy man he is, and this is the only moment I can bring myself to appreciate his wickedness."That is true," a man said, and the murmuring started again."Fine, then. I would rather have Sophie back home with us than see her suffer through this," Luna Sana snarled. "I want my daughter back this instant.""Mother, no!" Sophie's loud voice was enough proof that she did not want to go with Sana."You sick child! Come back with us," Luna Sana threatened, her teeth grinding. "Or you can kiss this family goodbye.""I did what I did, and it would be unfair to walk away like a coward. I a

Chapter 38: A truce

AARON SHROVA"Can we talk?" I asked Deva after our guests departed. She had done more than she needed to do, withstood so much humiliation because of me, and I knew we both had a connection, the loss of someone we loved.She lost hers and was forced to marry me by the cause of duty towards her pack.Are we the same when I cowardly left mine? I continued to live like everything was in the right order while she rotted away unknown to me."I-""Do not say no, I beg of you," I pleaded. I knew that expression; she was hesitant. I, on the other hand, was desperate to fix whatever disagreement we had, to mend whatever had been broken if there was anything in the first place."Alright. Let us talk," she agreed. I smiled. "Thank you. But not out here.""We can go to the banquet hall; there's a tea party left unfinished. The tea and snacks will be cold but can be eaten regardless. Do you mind?" she offered."Not at all. I appreciate your kindness," I told her. "I would love to be there.""Hm,"

Chapter 39: To Save My People

AARON SHROVAA knock disturbed me as I looked through paperwork."Alpha Aaron, Luna Sana seeks to speak with you," my guard said."Let her in," I told him.Soon after, she stepped in, regally dressed, looking at me disdainfully."I cannot believe after all Sophie had done for you, Aaron-""Your daughter tried to poison me!" I snapped, immediately annoyed."She loves you! You think I wanted her to marry you?! There were many suitors lined up to marry her, but she chose you.""She said she doesn't love me," I told her, my voice lower."Oh, even the blind can tell that she'll do whatever it takes to make you happy, even at the cost of her own happiness," Sana spat. "Her happiness means little to hers, but oh yours...""True love is not abusive, emotionally or physically. She manipulated me, it is not love. She desires me, she does not love me," I blatantly replied. I leaned down to the table, placing my hands and looking up at her. "You think she ought to be alive? You must be aware of t

Chapter 40: Calling Me Home

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ I was strolling through the halls when I met Aaron on the way. Landon, who was behind me, was usually quiet and only grunted when I asked him to excuse me.Aaron wanted to work with me, alone. I was stunned at first but immediately agreed. I was slacking, and moving onto my next phase was important; to make Aaron experience loss, the same type I endured."I heard we might experience famine," I said, making my tone hushed."Word does travel fast..." He trailed off."Rest assured, the councilmen told me. I know the word is not supposed to go past the grand walls of the royal home.""Thank you," he gave me a warm smile. "Rest assured I am planning to control the situation. You may inform your parents so they can control it.""Last time a famine happened...""You remember?" He did not let me finish."Yes, I do." It was around the time my pack got attacked and taken away by the Shrovas. When I think about it, I can see the dust, remember the fog, the clashing of s
