The Knight's Mate

Aria slightly smiles at Roseanne and bows in front of her.

“Welcome, my lady,” she says respectfully. But Roseanne is staring at her scar, unable to believe her eyes. It is Aria Semenov, a former servant at the Ezealyran Royal Family and one of Roseanne’s closest friends.

She was also the Crown Prince’s mate.

If Moon Goddess was unfair to Roseanne, she was completely ruthless to Aria. Two years ago when Aria turned of age, she felt the mate bond with Ivan. The Crown Prince was enraged that a lowly servant was his mate and rejected her. But that was only the beginning of Aria’s nightmare.

Ivan had her smuggled out of the palace one night and Roseanne never saw her again. News came the next day that Aria had killed herself out of grief of being rejected but whispers were around that Ivan had her assaulted by a group of men and killed. Her body was left in the forest to rot.
