Klaus POV I was standing facing the door with an anxious heart and scared soul, when it opened and the guards stepped inside: “Your presence is needed alpha Klaus. Please follow us” They walked out and so did I. Finally, I was out of those four walls that drove me crazy in the past weeks. The guards took the stairs up from the palace underground prison and I followed to the great hall. The second I raised my head up I was startled. I saw Aria standing next to Sam, Elijah, Tory and others from Black who nodded their heads at me and there were new faces that I never saw before. Then I turned to the other side where James, and the whole of his pack stood. King Henry sat on his throne in the middle. I stood in front of him, surrounded by the guards. He nodded his head at them and they retreated to the side where alpha Franklin, Alec and Fay stood. I stared at them for a few good seconds. They were the packs that sided with James. I was still blocked, I tried to mindlink Aria and couldn’
Aria POV “No problem, you can use me” Sam said next to me and I snapped my head towards him in confusion. He smiled at me and moved towards Mika: “I had it in my hands for a long time. I am sure she could use me to look for it” “That’s easy” Mika said and sat down on the ground in the middle of the flowers: “I need you to lay down here” Sam sat down, laid down in front of her and she closed her eyes and rubbed her fingers on his temples saying: “Calm down and take a deep breath” Sam complied and took a deep breath in. “Now, Think of it. The last day you had in your hands. The place you were at. Who did you meet. I need you to visualize the whole thing inside your head and focus on it and then I will do the rest” We all stood still and stared at them without blinking. No one dared to even breathe, waiting in anticipation. It took her 15 minutes to open her eyes and all she said was one word: “Pants” Sam opened his eyes right after and stood up asking: “Which pants?” Mika shrugged
Aria POV I poured it all into him. He felt every second of torture that he inflected on me and even more. I didn’t hold back or even feel pity for him. He deserved it. I was about to feel his heart stop from fear and pain when King Henry stopped me. He snapped his fingers and I lost total control over my power. “Aria” he roared my name and I turned my head towards him. He glared at me and I just looked down at James. He gasped loudly for air and laid down on the floor, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. He stared at nothing without saying a word. King Henry stepped down the stairs of his throne and stood right in front of me and I couldn’t hold back: “My King, you’ve heard everything. Everyone here heard it and it’s only fair that I kill him myself” I walked towards James, grabbed his hair and pulled it hard, showing his face to the King saying: “He has to feel everything I felt when he lashed me with his belt, 10 fucking lashes marked my body, and when he raped me, taking the l
Before starting this chapter, I would like to thank you all for reading my book and I eagerly wait for your comments and reviews.. also note that I might edit the chapters again for mistakes and minor editions. =============================================== Aria POV I grabbed a dress that was in the closet and put it on. It was a little big but it’s better than nothing. My clothes were no longer usable. I stood in front of the bed and watched Klaus sleep peacefully. He looked like he didn’t sleep for weeks and I didn’t want to disturb him. The moment I felt his mind again and his soul poured inside mine, I was relieved. I didn’t hide my feelings from him, I let him feel how shattered I was and how messed up I had become. “Will I ever recover from this?” I thought to myself as I took a deep breath. I wanted to stop feeling bad about James but couldn’t because I didn’t feel bad about him, I felt bad for myself. I didn’t know I could be so uncontrollably powerful. Never thought that
Aria POVI opened my eyes gradually as I felt every bone in my body ache. The strength king Henry used was too much for me to tolerate. I wanted to raise my hand and touch my throbbing head but couldn’t. I turned my head to the side and saw Klaus sitting next to the bed, fast asleep while holding my hand tightly. “Klaus” I called out his name with a parched voice and tried to pull away my hand. His eyes snapped wide open and he stared at me. “Aria” he stood up and sat on the bed next to me. He caressed my cheek softly asking: “Are you okay?” he stared at me and I was immediately pulled into his soul. I could feel his worry rising like a Tsunami wave.I nodded my head and sat up: “I just have a headache”He sighed in relief and hugged me. I pressed my lips together in pain but quickly hid it from him. My whole body was in pain. “That’s fine. He didn’t hurt you, did he?” He let me go and stared at me. I didn’t want to answer this.“What did he want?” I asked curiously, changing the s
Aria POV “Goodnight Alan” I wished Alan, my boss, goodnight before I walked out of the diner and headed home. Tonight was a special night for me and my mate. Nick and I were declared mates by our moon goddess about a year ago and tonight was our anniversary. I got an early leave from work and decided to prepare a romantic dinner for us before surprising him with my gift. It was just a 10 minutes’ walk from the diner to my small apartment but I passed by the grocery shop and bought a few things. Nick would be home soon, so I rushed through everything. I cooked, lit up the candles around the place and put some flowers all over and on the bed before showering and getting dressed. I didn’t have much but it was always enough for me and I was content with how my life was going. I lost both my parents in a car accident last year and if it wasn’t for Nick I would have killed myself as well. He became my everything even after I decided to leave our pack; Nick followed me and left everythin
Aria POV A month passed and I was totally consumed with sadness. It wrapped around me like a cold blanket on a winter night. Alan couldn’t hide his worry and tried his best to get me out of this state but I was too tired to even try. Day in and day out they were all the same to me. The broken bond between me and Nick was soul crashing and I could still feel the love I had for him harboring in my heart. Every day my baby grew I remembered that I was alone. I was sitting during my lunch break eating when Alan came and sat next to me saying: “I knew I would find you here” Whenever I was sad I would usually hide in the back of the diner and it has been my only place lately. I nodded and tried to force a smile at him. Alan softly caressed my hair and said: “You don’t have to worry Aria, everything will be okay. You know that Martha and I never had any kids and we have always considered you as our child” Tears started to well up my eyes again. “It will be great if we can be grandpar
Aria POVNo one wants to die but when death becomes the only option, you’d want to die fighting.And fighting was what I did. With all the power that was left in me I punched the nearest guy to me in his nose, he just dropped to his knees and I kicked his precious jewels with my foot. “YOU BITCH” he screamed in pain.Then I turned to the other two who were surprised with what I did to their friend but I didn’t stop. I threw another punch at Nick but he was quick to block it. He grabbed my arm and easily bent it and turned it behind my back.The one who was holding his penis a second ago now stood up steaming with anger; he quickly marched towards us and pulled my hair. For a second I thought that he would pull out my skin but then Nick released me and I found myself on the ground again dragged by hair. I thrashed and screamed but I was no match to any of them.Finally he let go of my hair and kicked my stomach one more time. This time I felt like I would throw up my guts.They will k
