ALARIC I seethed as I kicked Aria’s bedroom door open and carried her in. Her skin was so cold, so I pushed back the blanket before placing her on the the bed and covered her with it. I looked back as the doctor hovered in the doorway.“What are you doing standing there? Get on with it!” I snapped as I moved to her wardrobe. I opened a drawer and took out two more blankets. I walked to her and covered her with them. The doctor glanced at me before checking her pulse, and I watched him with a dangerous look. I moved away from the bed as I watched the him work on her. I looked down at her and frowned in worry. Her face was very pale, and her lips were dry and chapped. “How long do you think she must have been out in the cold for?” I asked. He pursed his lips and studied her as he adjusted the IV drip. “I'd say she spent an hour or two outside, maybe even three… I wouldn't go that far, but it is a possibility.” He said as he placed some things into his bag. He looked at me and co

ARIA I brushed through the slightly wet strands of my hair as I looked in the mirror. I was a bit slimmer than I normally was. I hadn't been eating the way I ate on a normal day ever since Alaric brought me here. It's not that he starved me, I just wasn't settled enough to eat well. Honestly, who would eat in a situation like this?I stood up and laughed at what I was wearing, even though I was the one wearing it. The orange camisole was nice as it was stretchy and fitted snugly, but the skirt was a totally different story. It was a full, gathered white skirt with flowers all over it, it went just a little bit past my knees. I chewed on my lip as I held the waist of the skirt and looked in the mirror. It would have been better if the waist my size. But that could be easily fixed since there was an elastic band in it. I took the skirt off and held it in my hand as I searched for scissors. I opened every drawer but couldn't find any. There had to be something I could use. I searched

ALARIC I stared at Aria across the dining table. For some reason, she wouldn’t look at me, and she was acting all jumpy. To prove my suspicion, she looked up at me and quickly looked back down at her plate.I sighed inwardly. With the way she was acting, she had probably done something wrong. What could it be? Did she go outside again?“What did you do, Aria?” I asked after taking a sip of water.“What?” She blinked rapidly. “What did you do, Aria?” I asked again as I sat back in my chair. “Why would you ask me that?” She asked with a frown. “I'm just eating.” She grumbled.“You are not going to talk?” I asked coldly. She sighed angrily as she dropped her spoon onto her plate, it made a loud clattering sound. I raised my brows at her. Who was she giving that attitude. “Don't look at me like that!” Aria hissed. “What? I can't eat in peace? Why even did you ask me to come down here? I would have liked it better if I ate alone in the cell that you call my room.”“Where is this atti

ARIA I looked out at the trees from my window, watching for any sudden movement. It had been over a week since I last saw Valen. He didn't seem like the kind of man who would simply disappear for this long, especially after our last conversation. Then again, it wasn't like I actually knew him. “I wonder if he's alive,” I muttered with a sigh. “Who?” I nearly jumped out of my skin. I quickly climbed down from the window seat and brushed my palms over the front of my dress, trying to look as calm as possible. “What?” I asked, my heart lodged somewhere in my throat. Alaric stepped fully into the room and kicked the door shut behind him. “Who are you wondering is still alive, and why is your heart racing so fast?” I swallowed hard. How had I not heard him come in? That is not good, Aria. “Uhm... my fath… my father.” I forced the words out. “I was thinking about my father. Just wondering how he's doing. You know, thinking about whether he's ever tried to reach out since he sold me

ARIAI felt like my heart might combust as every wolf-man in the room turned to look at me. My breath sawed in and out of me, and I wished I would pass out. Why wasn't I passing out? The circumstances was already enough. “Is she going to say something?!” Someone yelled from the crowd. “Didn't you hear that? Aren't you going to say something?” Ronan repeated. I turned my eyes on him. What was his deal with me? I didn’t even have any sort of relationship with him. Not even a hi. “I… I… I…” I couldn't even seem to string together a few words. I looked around at everyone as they watched me expectantly, I had never seen much hate in my life. What sort of rivalry did they have against each other that ran this deep. I heard several growls so I quickly shook my head no, before Someone decided I was perfect for supper. “Words.” I heard Alaric say through the haze in my head.I grounded myself as I looked around. I closed my eyes and forced myself to say the words, “No… It wasn't me.” It
