Chapter 78

“You’ve got two minutes lett,” I stated, my voice low and emotionless as I stared at Kieran, holding the battle out to him.
His gaze stayed locked on me, his expression frozen in disbelief until I paused and let out a quiet chuckle.
“Oh… actually, it’s not two minutes” I stood and walked toward the nearby chair, then plopped down into it, crossing my legs as stared at the ben people in front of me.
“You really have just one minute lett. I’d need at least a minute to go fetch the antidote and bring it back to give to Aria So you have to decide now, she lives and you die, or she dies and you get to live.”
thold the bottle high in my hand
-The choice is yours, Kieran. It’s all in your hands now.”
Kieran’s eyes were still wide as he listened. He didn’t say a word and I knew it wasn’t because he didn’t want to. He couldn’t
I was asking him to willingly kill himself to save Aria.
And even though I already had a good idea of what he would do next, it was still satisfying, watching him squirm. Watching him break.
But most of all, it was fun seeing Aria like this..
In my past life, when I was at my most vulnerable after being rejected by Kieran and chased out of the pack, Aria had come to my room and boasted about everything. She had made me feel even worse than I already did, especially when she revealed the rogue attack…just to twist the knife deeper
And that wasn’t all Before the day I finally uncovered the truth and died, she had spent every moment doing everything in her power to paint me as the
She once daimed I pushed her down the stairs when I clearly hadn’t. Another time, she said I ordered my maid, Serena, to bully her. And every time, Kieran would believe her, glways taking her side over mine, his own wife.
Back then, she must have felt like the lucky one. Like Kieran really cared about her.
But now?
Now, I would show her exactly what kind off man Kieran truly was.
“What do you say, Kieran? Would you do it?” asked, tilting my head. “Would you give up your life for the women you love?”
Kieran’s jaw clenched, and his fists tightened at my words, I watched him glare at me, his eyes flashing red. But instead of answering, he turned to Aria, who groaned in pain, her eyes fluttering closed, too exhausted to scream anymore.
Her clothes were soaked with sweat, as though someone had dumped a bucket of water over her
“Kioran…Kieran…” she kept murmuring his name, barely audible, I wasn’t sure what she was trying to tell him, but when she lifted her hea opened her eyes, I saw it, clear as day.
She didn’t want to die.
Aria didn’t want to die.
Band
And Kieran seemed to realize that tou
How hilarious. She didn’t want to die.

Chapter 78
“pth.“Balore I could stop myself, laughter spilled from my lips. I quickly slapped a hand over my mouth to stifle it. Kieran turned sharply to me, eyes burning with anger, and stepped forward, but I held up my hand to stop him. I already knew what he was thinking. He was too easy to read.
“Don’t think about it, Kieran. If you think forcing me to drink this…I shook the bottle in my hand, smirking, “will make me give up the antidote, you’re wrong. There’s only one battle. One antidote. And even if you poison me, I won’t use it to save Aria
Theld up a single finger in front of him.
“One minute left, Kieran. I see you’ve made your decision–not to save Aria.”
My tone was cold, and Aria’s cries grew louder as Kieran’s shoulders shock and he lowered his head.
“No…I want to save Aria,” he muttered, almost helplessly, as she whimpered in pain,
I scoffed and stood, walking toward him with nothing but hatred and disgust in my eyes.
“If you really want to save Aria, then take the poison. It’s goddamn simple, so why can’t you?” I asked. “You know, you’re funny, Kieran. I told you the antidote was outside this place, and if you really cared, you would’ve rushed out to search for it. But instead, you stood here arguing with me about pointless things, trying to convince me that nothing is going on between you and Aria.”
Itilted my head slightly and sneered. “Why didn’t you run out? Why didn’t you take the poison when I first offered it? if you truly cared about her, if you really loved her, your so–called mate, then why are we even still here?”
As soon as I said that, Kieran’s head snapped up in shock, his eyes going so wide they looked like they might pop from their sockets
“Mate?” he whispered. “How did you know she’s my mate?”
Now it was my turn to freeze. My eyes widened, and I nearly lost my footing as I stared at him.
Oh, goddess.
He heard me.
He heard the word mate even though he wasn’t supposed to
“Sheila, what’s going on? I thought I couldn’t say anything about the past?” I asked, my voice low and confused, panic slipping in.
But before Shella could respond, Aria’s screams tore through the room again, and Kieran instantly turned his head toward her.
Perfect
