All Chapters of Accidentally His: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aria The heavy oak doors of Lady Vivianne’s parlor slammed shut behind me, but I hadn't even made it halfway down the grand, marble-arched corridor before the sharp, hurried clicking of high heels echoed against the stone floor."Aria! Stop right where you are!"I paused, taking a slow breath before turning around. Viviannewas marching toward me, her face flushed with pure outrage, her silk dress rustling aggressively with every stride."Do you have any idea what you have just done?" Vivianne spat, coming to a halt just inches from me. Her violet eyes were wide with fury, her jaw trembling. "How dare you speak to me like that in front of the court? How dare you alter a punishment without my consent? There are strict protocols in this palace! There is a chain of command!""I am well aware of the chain of command, Vivianne," I replied, keeping my voice completely level. "And as of right now, you are not my superior. Agnes attempted to poison my clothes with Venom-Leaf dust. I showed he

Aria "A stepbrother," Maya clarified quietly. "His name is LordMatheo. He is the elder son of the previous King's second wife. For years, the elders and the court favored Matheo because his mother was a highborn pureblood Lycan. They raised him believing he would inherit the crown.""Then why didn't he?" I asked."Because the late King saw how ruthless, corrupt, and cruel Matheo was," Maya explained, her voice dropping into a tense whisper. "Before the late King passed, he named Valerius as his rightful successor instead. Valerius was younger, but he had the true strength, wisdom, and honor of a ruler. When Valerius took the throne, Matheo refused to accept it. He gathered a faction of rebellious purebloods and fled into the northern mountains. He has been trying to launch a coup and overthrow King Valeriusever since."I sat down heavily on the edge of the velvet bed, a strange, heavy knot twisting in my stomach. I worried for Valerius. Despite his cold exterior, despite his stoic wo

AriaOver the next two days, as the diplomatic summit continued, Elena and I spent hours talking in private.I gave her the strength she had been denied for years. I told her about how I had suffered under Jace, how I had felt trapped and worthless, and how taking a stand was the only way to break the chains.Grateful for my kindness, Elena used her subtle influence to speak to her husband. That very afternoon, Alpha Hector marched into the King’s study and formally offered a strategic military alliance to King Valerius, promising three hundred trained warriors to bolster the royal border guards.The news spread through the Citadel like wildfire. The elders were thrilled, and even Valerius’s advisors praised the sudden alliance.Maya smiled happily as we prepared for the final grand feast of the summit. "You did it, Aria! You helped win an alliance for the King, just like the concubines were trying to do!""I didn't do it for the King or the alliance, Maya," I said quietly, adjusting

Aria The sharp, heavy slamming of the wooden double doors echoed through the master bedchamber like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the warm, delicate silence.I gasped, pulling back from Valerius’s lips, my heart hammering against my ribs as I whipped my head around toward the entrance.Standing framed in the doorway were two imposing men. Both wore dirt-streaked leather armor, their dark cloaks shredded at the hems, carrying the metallic scent of fresh blood, travel dust, and raw Alpha dominance.The man on the left was tall and built like a mountain, with broad shoulders, sharp golden eyes, and a jagged scar cutting across his right jaw. He looked furious, his fists clenched tight at his sides. The man on the right was slightly leaner, with untamed dark curls, a rugged jawline, and a smirk that seemed permanently fixed on his face, despite the exhaustion etched around his eyes."What the hell is going on here?" the scarred man roared, his deep voice vibrating through the room

Aria Lyra stepped inside, setting the basket of flowers on the table. She looked down at her slippers, her voice trembling slightly. "I... I just wanted to come and say how amazed I was by what you did last night, Lady Aria."I frowned slightly in confusion. "What do you mean?"Lyra looked up, her blue eyes wide with admiration. "All the other concubines... they only care about titles, jewelry, and tearing each other down. Lady Vivianne is so cruel, and everyone is terrified of her. But you... you stood up for Lady Elena. You saved her. You showed so much kindness and mercy."Lyra took a step closer, tears welling in her eyes. "I hate it here, Aria. I was sent to the Citadel by my family two years ago, but I don't want to play these wicked games. I don't want to be like Vivianne. I just want to live in peace. Please... will you let me be your friend? Will you let me join you?"My heart melted at her words. I felt so much of my past self in her words, scared, lonely, and desperate for
