“Ahhh, that was boring. So utterly boring. I had expected more to happen yesterday with the maid situation, at least some blood but to my disappointment, nothing happened. Can you believe it?” I asked, disbelief written across my face as I glanced at my right–hand man, Jace, while we walked.
“I mean, it’s that room he’s crazy about, so why wouldn’t he kill his mate, Nyssa? I can understand leaving her alive since she’s useful to him, the one who could kill him but what about the maid, or even that girl, Ella? He should have killed them, right?”
I stared at Jace in bewilderment, but he simply met my gaze with a blank expression, silent as he listened.
“Do you think he’s changing? I mean, before that girl Nyssa came into the picture, he wouldn’t have hesitated to kill anyone who stepped into that room. After all, it belonged to the mate he loved so much. But now? He actually spared all of them. He’s becoming weak, don’t you think?”
I asked with a grin, and this time Jace seemed to understand I wanted an answer. He lowered his head slightly before speaking.
“You are right, my lord. I believe the king has also begun to change ever since the arrival of his new mate.”
The corners of my lips curved into a wider smile at his words.
“Right? I wasn’t just imagining it. You think so too. Darius has changed, even if it’s barely noticeable.”
Jace lowered his head further in response, and I chuckled, continuing on with amusement.
Darius… oh, I never would have imagined you’d change so easily when a new mate appeared. After all the fuss you made over your old mate’s death… yet here you are, changed so quickly.
Hehe, I guess the love you thought you had for Liana wasn’t real after all.
Thinking about that, my mood actually lifted. Even though I hadn’t seen any blood spill today, this discovery alone was worth it, it was the leverage I needed to finally push the plan forward.
“Where is Kael?” I asked, slipping a hand into my pocket to fish out a piece of candy. I unwrapped it and popped it into my mouth before continuing. “I’m sure he’ll be happy to hear we’ll be moving ahead with the plan soon… and that he’ll finally get his revenge.”
At my words, Jace’s expression visibly darkened. I knew why, he didn’t care much for Kael. In his eyes, Kael was useless, a freeloader who complained far too much without lifting a finger. He had told me that himself, and he wasn’t entirely wrong.
But Kael wasn’t completely useless either. There was a reason I had saved him and his mate, after all. He had a part to play in my plan.
“He is at the clinic with his mate, my lord,” Jace finally answered, his voice gruff.
I snorted.

“Don’t be like that, Jace,” I said, playfully hitting his shoulder as I swirled the sweet around in my mouth. “Don’t worry, he’s more useful than you think. You know I don’t do favors for free.”
I echoed with a grin before heading toward the clinic where Kieran would be.
“Are you blind, Aria? You’re not sick, you’re dead! Can’t you see it? You’re decaying. Even though you’re breathing, you’re already dead!”
“Dead?! How could you say that to me? I’m not dead, you bastard! This is your fault, all your fault! You told me to pretend we weren’t mates, even when I didn’t want to. You didn’t save me. You didn’t drink the poison when that bitch told me to. You were selfish, Kieran! You chose yourself. That’s why I’m in this situation!” The corner of my lips twitched into a slow smirk as I watched the scene unfold in amusement.
“Haha… this is rich. A moment ago you were thrilled your mate was alive, and now you you?”
want her gone.
Don’t
I leaned casually against the wall, eyes fixed on Kieran. He stiffened instantly, snapping his head toward me with his hand still frozen in the air. As his expression shifted, his gaze narrowed, brimming with disdain and hatred. I tilted my head slightly, my smirk widening.
Ah… he hated me. As expected. After all, I was the one who made his mate this way.
Half dead, half alive.
She looked like a zombie. Haha.
But looking on the bright side, I had been the one who helped his mate and brought her back. She was already dead when I went to Kieran’s house to speak to him. At that time, I had seen Nyssa walking out, and when I entered, Kieran was unconscious and his mate was gone.
So really, I’d been nice enough to revive her. And even though she was bound to rot and die soon, since I doubted there was anything more I could do, he should thank me. I had given him the chance to spend more time with her.
“And how could you say that about a woman’s looks? Can’t you see she’s just sick, and she’ll get better soon?” I said, my voice dripping with tease. His eyes darkened immediately, but I didn’t care. I pushed off the wall and walked closer, resting my hand on his shoulder as I leaned in.
“Look, she’s already better than before. Her face isn’t as green, right? And the smell…” I lifted my hand to cover my nose slightly with a chuckle.
“It’s getting better, don’t you think?”
Kieran’s glare hardened and he spat, “You–how can you say that? She’s rotting, she’s a corpse-
He cut off when I pressed a finger to my lips, silencing him. His eyes went wide with something close to fear, but I only smiled

“Don’t be so harsh, Kieran. Be nice. We can finish this rant later. For now, I have some good news for you!”
I grinned and slapped his shoulder as his body trembled, staring at me.
“I am happy to inform you that you can soon leave this place and go back to the Emberfang pack to get your revenge. The plan is coming together sooner than I expected and soon, we will all get what we have been hoping for.”
He swallowed hard at my words, not saying anything but from the glint in his eyes, it was obvious…obvious that he liked what he had heard.
