82

Arielle's POV.

It felt like a horrible nightmare experience, the only difference was that I was wide awake.

Why was this happening? Just when I had started to love, Simon dropped this sort of bombshell? Why?

I couldn't even recall how I left Simon's quarters. My legs had just trailed off as my mind shut down.

And somehow, I stumbled to the garden and placed my hands against a tree trunk to catch my breath.

A lot of emotions bundled within me but I held my out shut. Kill Damien? The man I loved?

It was the worst take I've heard.

"I'm sorry about the way… fate is treating you." Baron's voice suddenly filled my ears.

I turned abruptly and he bowed his head at me. Then he began to make his way closer.

"I wish there was a way that we could— I don't know… change fate?" He added as he got closer.

"I don't know." I shrugged, completely devastated. "It makes no sense at all. Why would I want to kill my mate… for powers?"
