NovelEnglishChapter Thirty Kaida's POV I met Aric in the training grounds.
The moment he saw me, a small frown appeared on his face, "Are you alright?" he asked.
"Cwith me." I said, avoiding his question. I, on the other hand, was happy to see him unharmed; perhaps Alexander had chosen to let what happened earlier slip-at least I hoped so.

"What was that stunt you pulled earlier?" "What?" he asked, acting innocent.
"Don't play the fool - why did you kiss me?" I asked and he looked away. "Look atAric.” I demanded but he wouldn't.
"I have feelings for you, Kaida." "For how long?" "How long?" he repeated. "I don't know; since I watched you grow into the woman you are today.' "But... you never said anything, you never told me." "I had been waiting for the right time-it never came." "Aric, you have to let it go-whatever you feel for me, you have to push it aside because it cannot happen, not now and not anytsoon. You are better off with any other woman." "I don't want any other woman; I want you. I had watched you grow, and sometimes it felt wrong to feel this way about you, but I couldn't help it, and then, your father had to marry you off, but it turned out the Alpha King was mate after all, so this was bound to happen... Back there, I didn't know what I was thinking, but kissing you didn't feel wrong... it felt right." your "Alexander would have made you pay for that." "Why did he change his mind?" Aric asked, and it was my turn to look away. "Of course you had to give him something in exchange. What did you give him?" "That's none of your business. You are safe now; that's all that matters." Aric looked down at me. "I can protect you. Kaida." "I don't need your protection. I want you alive, and kissingwouldn't do the trick, not when I'm mated to the Alpha King." "Tell me... did you like it?" he asked. "Did it feel as good to you as it did to me?" Did I like his kiss? I'm not sure if I did; he had takenby surprise. I couldn't think, but it felt... wrong. Not because Alexander was standing by the door, but because I had always seen him as a friend, we were meant to be friends and nothing more.
"Don't worry, you don't have to answer that." he said, trying to hide the disappointment from his face.
I took his hand in mine.
Chapter Thirty ☐☐ +25 BONUS "Aric, I need you alive. There are not many people I can trust here; you knowbetter than anyone, and you are like family to me. I can't lose you too, please." He finally nodded. "You are right, what I did was stupid and insensitive, forgive me, Luna.” "You know you don't have to callthat, at least not when we are alone.” "I might as well get used to it." he said with a small smile.
"Also, If you have any message for me, it's best you send a maid or servant... for now." "So the King wouldn't spot us together?" "Just do as I have said." A girl staggered down the hallway; she looked slightly familiar. Perhaps she was drunk.

It wasn't until she was close enough that I realized why she looked m familiar; it was the brunette girl, the ar it was the one had met in my room. Sweat coated her face, and blood dripped down her nose. She wasn't drunk; she had been... poisoned.
"Help me." She gasped. My jaw clenched; she was Alexander's whore. Why should I help her? But idy again, agreed to the deal, and I had no right to hate her. I swept her up in my arms, she was not as heavy as I had anticipated. I traced the familiar paths to the healers. I met Sarah; she was one of the Dawn Pack healers, but I guessed she had also been moved here. I handed the half-conscious girl over to her.
"What happened?" Sarah asked me.
"Maybe she had been poisoned."
"Wolf...bane" The girl muttered, and Sarah's eyes widened, she quickly went to work, I didn't wait behind; I walked out of the healing room and continued to my room Walt
