All Chapters of Sold To A Cursed Alpha: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

ARIA’S POVI stood by the bed, staring at his motionless body.I could not decide which was worse—that he was dead, which was my first thought, or that he was lying down here at the verge of death because of me.“Mummy, will he wake up?” The kids had tears in their eyes as they asked.Tears flowed down my cheeks.I hope that he would, but I knew better.Ragner walked into the room quietly with two maids and a guard.“Get them settled.”The maids pulled Caleb and Aya away from Ragner’s body.“The physician wants to speak with you,” I confirmed with a nod.“Is he ever going to wake up?” I probed, as soon as the man walked in.“There might be a way to make that happen,”My eyes lit up with something I hadn’t felt in a very long time—hope.“But you’re the only one who can make it happen.”“Say it. Tell me. I’d do anything.”The physician was not pleased by my enthusiasm and neither was Ragner, which was what led me to believe that there was more to this story.“You have to renounce the ma

ARIA’S POVEvery step I took away from the pack house left me feeling emptier.By the time I was far enough, it was like there was a pit in my stomach. I could feel the raw unfiltered air in my abdomen.“I would ask if you’re okay, but you don’t look okay.”“Agatha!”I wrapped my arms firmly around her and wouldn’t let go.It was the first ounce of warmth I had felt in weeks.“Okay, big baby.”Agatha patted my back and consoled me as I sobbed uncontrollably in her arms.It took almost an hour to get my eyes to run out of tears and Agatha sat with me through every second of it.“I’ve lost everything, Agatha. Everything.” I lamented. “Even in death, Logan still manages to win somehow.”“Shhh…don’t say that.” She said softly.“It doesn’t feel like a lot right now, but you survived.”She was right.As far as I was concerned, I was better off dead. Death was better than the empty life I now had.“Logan only wins if you let him…” she continued. “He is nothing but dust and ash now and if you

ARIA'S POVI barely slept that night. Not because I wasn't tired. I had assumed a constant state of tiredness in the last weeks. My body screamed for rest after weeks of carrying grief that felt heavier than mountains, but every time I closed my eyes, I was overpowered by the fear that someone was going to sneak in and take them.Now that they were here, it would be foolish not to take advantage of every second to see and hold them.I had them use my arms as pillows. One on each arm. All I cared about was to feel their warmth on my skin until I could still feel it even if they weren’t here.I looked down at the folded note in my hand for what had to be the hundredth time."It's just as hard on this side."Simple. Short. Yet every word carried Draven's heart. I could feel it.For two weeks, I had convinced myself that he had accepted my decision. That he had gone back to ruling his people while I wasted away in this remote village. But he hadn't.He was hurting too. Just as much.Well,

ARIA’S POV"Daryl?” My breathing gradually slowed.She had morphed out of her wolf form as soon as the golden orb touched her."Was that...a test?" I probed, but no answer came. The golden light had scattered into tiny pieces that disappeared into the night almost immediately after it touched her.“Come with me,” she said coldly. There was a hint of her doing this against her will.I knew it was linked to an interaction with the golden light, but I couldn’t explain it, so I quietly followed.Minutes later, the trees began changing. Their trunks shimmered faintly beneath the moonlight. Silver leaves sparkled overhead despite the absence of wind. Flowers I had never seen before bloomed along the forest floor, glowing in shades of blue and violet. The air itself felt...Different. Warmer. Alive.I recognized it instantly.The Hidden Forest."We were here" A smile spread across my face before I even realized it.We walked into the area like there was nothing there, but you could feel th

ARIA'S POVThe Elder had a long white beard that nearly touched the ground. His eyes remained closed as though he were asleep.The moment I stepped closer...He spoke."You took longer than expected, Aria."I stopped walking. "You...knew I would come?"His ancient eyes slowly opened. "I knew the day would arrive."My throat tightened. For a second, I thought I was somewhere else. Nowhere near the Wookiees, because somehow, I did not remember any of these from the last time, or even knew about their existence and I was here for half a decade.I took one look at Daryl. At least she was a constant. I recognized her. Her presence encouraged me to push through, coupled with the soft nodding of her head.I took a deep breath and turned back to face the elder. "I need your help." I said,"I know." His response was sharp."My family…it’s falling apart." I continued, but he jumped in again."I know."His interruption with the same phrase slightly pissed me off. If he knew, then why was I here?
