"You have killed three children, endangered the Alpha’s life and used dark magic." Ethan listed out her offenses. "One crime alone can put you on death row, but you didn’t just stop at one. Should we kill you three times?"
"I don’t care how many times you will kill me. I have died countless times before, it doesn’t matter if I have to die again this time." Aria’s tears silently streamed down her cheeks.
They killed her when they defiled her, they killed her when they tortured her, humiliated her and laughed at her misery, left her with nothing, not even dignity. The only thing that she had and wanted in this wretched life of hers was Cane. She only wanted him.
But, she couldn’t even get him.
Every time she saw Cane with Iris, she felt her jealousy kill her, as her hatred overwhelmed her mind. Why was it Iris? The daughter of Gerald? She couldn’t stand the sight.
It was her who had gone through all the torture and the beatings for Cane.
She was the one who stood by his side during his darkest and hardest times.
She was the one who was there to take the pain from him and reassured him that it was alright to hurt her, if that meant it could even relieve a little bit of his pain.
She wouldn’t even hesitate to give her soul and life if she could help him, but why was it the daughter of the tyrant who got the chance to be with him?
How could that be fair to her? How could she stand by the side and watch as Iris became the Luna of the pack? The same pack that her father had destroyed?
"I want to see him." It was a plea, she was begging the Gamma now. Even if she had to die, she wanted to see him. "Please."
"Don’t be stubborn, Aria. Tell me what you know about this sorcerer." The only information that Ethan got from Dalia and Bian was; the sorcerer was from the Riverside pack.
He left it at that because the situation was very chaotic at that time and thought he would return to ask them later. ƒreewebɳovel.com
However, he didn’t get the chance.
"I want to see him," she kept saying the same thing. She lowered her head, as she fiddled with her fingers.
Here she was, back to the dungeon when she thought she would never step an inch in this place. Here she was, in the lowest place, because of her stupidity and how blind her love for him was.
"I really want to see him..." Aria’s lips trembled. She genuinely missed him. "I never meant to harm him."
Aria couldn’t move on from her past, she couldn’t overlook it. No matter what Iris had done, she couldn’t see her as herself, she would always be Gerald’s daughter. She would always be trapped in the past...
Ethan kneaded his forehead. He couldn’t talk with Aria when she was very emotional. He could understand her to a certain level, even though he disagreed with the way she saw things. Her impulsiveness had implicated many people and created bigger problems that they wanted to avoid at any cost.
In the end, he stood up and left her in her cell alone.
