Arrival of the King (Part One)

Chapter 57: Arrival of the King (Part One)

Aiden’s POV

*Slap!*

I don’t mind the sting I felt on my face but Ashira’s slap also struck my heart with an intolerable pain. I was stunned and unable to move from where I stood, even my face won’t tilt back and my eyes has feared seeing her current expression.

“You can’t fool me!”

Even her voice has a hint of pain in it that my chest felt heavy and clenched. I tried talking to her about the truth again today. She has rested and slept outdoors last night and I let her be, trying not to distract her.

I watched her sleep from far.

I waited for her to wake up, asked someone to bring her some food. She ate. A little. But she was still dozing off and now she is crying. Mad, angered, lonely, and hurt. That is all I could smell from her.

From her scent, I know she does not feel anything for me.

“You are not my mate. My mate is dead! You killed him!”
