All Chapters of ARIA; THE FORGOTTEN LUNA : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Authors Note: This is officially part two of Aria's and Aiden's story. The title will change to THE ROYAL LUNA from this chapter forward.Aria's POVAfter they swabbed something inside my mouth, I was allowed to leave the room. The woman that came with the two men was named Danielle, and she was to be my maid.I was trying to get a grip on what was happening.A part of me wanted to wish the Alpha King was wrong with his assumptions that I was his missing daughter and that I was a princess so I could be free to look for Aiden again, but making that wish reality could only mean more trouble for me. If I weren't his daughter, he would surely have ordered me to go to prison.Either way, I was at the losing end.But maybe, if I were his daughter, not allowing me to see Aiden would just be temporary. If I could explain to him our history, he would surely understand. I kept my hopes and head high as I followed Danielle along the long corridor until I realised we were heading for what looke

Aria's POVI was not able to sleep at all last night.After father left my room, I asked Danielle about the Royal Games. She confessed to me she didn't know the full length of the event and that what she knew was just hearsay or stories passed on.The Royal Games were not practiced for many decades because no princess had been born in the Royal family for a long time.And it seemed the King was reviving the tradition because of my existence.Danielle told me what she knew about the game—it was only opened for inmates Alphas, regardless of age. Unmated Alphas were those who were never married, as well as widowed or divorced.They were not only for Alphas of this continent but also extended to other continents.All the while she was talking, I did my best to keep up a brave front, listening and trying to get all the details as possible, even if everything she had kept saying breaking my heart.I knew Aiden loved me, and I was confident he would make an effort, but what if they didn't l

Aria's POVI was acting calm compared to the turmoil within me. Everything the King me led me to one thing: I had no freedom to choose who I would end up with. He was implying I should give up on Aiden and accept whoever ended up as my husband.I had told him I had been married and that I was no longer pure. He said it didn't matter anymore. He was sure everyone wanted to have a possibility of ruling Absalom. I felt like I was just a tool for Absalom.I wanted to tell him I didn't care about his Kingdom. I only wanted my husband.But how ironic my life had turrned out.What was happening was exactly how my life started with Aiden. I was also just a tool to save him—his ego and his heart—from being broken by Emmaline. Only this time, I had no idea who I would be marrying. And at least with Aiden, he asked me if I wanted to. I was not forced into marriage with him.My eyes stung as I tried to keep from tearing up as we walked down toward the hall where the breakfast Banquet was. I coul

Aria's POVMy heart was still beating very fast as I walked back into the banquet hall with Danielle.I kept my head down, trying to make sure my face didn't look like I had just been kissing my husband in a dark corner. When I sat back down, the King looked at me, but he didn't say anything. He just went back to eating his breakfast.After the meal was finally over, the King stood up and signaled for me to follow him."Come, Aria," he said. "I want to show you more of your home. You have been gone for too long."I stood up and followed him. My legs felt a bit heavy, like they didn't want to move away from where Aiden was sitting. I didn't look back, but I could feel Aiden’s eyes on me. It made the skin on my back feel warm.We walked through long hallways with very high ceilings. Everything was made of gold and white marble. It was very beautiful, but it felt cold to me. The King pointed at different doors and paintings as we walked."This was your mother’s favorite room," he said, p

Alpha Aiden's POVI walked through the palace gardens alone. My wolf was pushing very hard inside my chest. He was restless and angry.He remembered every single time I had touched Aria, and right now, he wanted her more than anything. The smell of the flowers in this place was too strong, but I was still trying to catch the scent of her skin.I was thinking about the way her mouth felt against mine in that hallway. It had been too short, I needed more."You look like a man with a lot on his mind, Alpha Aiden."I stopped walking and turned around. It was one of the Princes. I think his name was Esmaeel. He was dressed in a very expensive suit and was smiling at me like we were old friends. I didn't trust that smile at all."It is a big palace. Hard not to think about things," I said. I kept my voice flat.He walked closer to me. "The Royal Games are going to be very difficult. Especially for someone like you. You are an Alpha of a pack, yes, but here in Absalom, things are different.
