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?"
