Chapter 190

Chapter 190: A TIGHT EMBRACE "You have killed three children, endangered the Alpha’s life and used dark magic." Ethan listed out her offenses. "One crime alone can put you on death row, but you didn’t just stop at one. Should we kill you three times?"

"I don’t care how many times you will kill me. I have died countless times before, it doesn’t matter if I have to die again this time." Aria’s tears silently streamed down her cheeks.

They killed her when they defiled her, they killed her when they tortured her, humiliated her and laughed at her misery, left her with nothing, not even dignity. The only thing that she had and wanted in this wretched life of hers was Cane. She only wanted him.

But, she couldn’t even get him.

Every time she saw Cane with Iris, she felt her jealousy kill her, as her hatred overwhelmed her mind. Why was it Iris? The daughter of Gerald? She couldn’t stand the sight.

It was her who had gone through all the torture and the beatings for Cane.

She was the one who stood by his side during his darkest and hardest times.

She was the one who was there to take the pain from him and reassured him that it was alright to hurt her, if that meant it could even relieve a little bit of his pain.

She wouldn’t even hesitate to give her soul and life if she could help him, but why was it the daughter of the tyrant who got the chance to be with him?

How could that be fair to her? How could she stand by the side and watch as Iris became the Luna of the pack? The same pack that her father had destroyed?

"I want to see him." It was a plea, she was begging the Gamma now. Even if she had to die, she wanted to see him. "Please."

"Don’t be stubborn, Aria. Tell me what you know about this sorcerer." The only information that Ethan got from Dalia and Bian was; the sorcerer was from the Riverside pack.

He left it at that because the situation was very chaotic at that time and thought he would return to ask them later.

"I want to see him," she kept saying the same thing. She lowered her head, as she fiddled with her fingers.

Here she was, back to the dungeon when she thought she would never step an inch in this place. Here she was, in the lowest place, because of her stupidity and how blind her love for him was.

"I really want to see him..." Aria’s lips trembled. She genuinely missed him. "I never meant to harm him."

Aria couldn’t move on from her past, she couldn’t overlook it. No matter what Iris had done, she couldn’t see her as herself, she would always be Gerald’s daughter. She would always be trapped in the past...

Ethan kneaded his forehead. He couldn’t talk with Aria when she was very emotional. He could understand her to a certain level, even though he disagreed with the way she saw things. Her impulsiveness had implicated many people and created bigger problems that they wanted to avoid at any cost.

In the end, he stood up and left her in her cell alone.

No matter what she had done, it still pained him to lock her up inside this cell, thus he only closed the door and left it unlocked, after all, there were guards out there, she wouldn’t be able to escape.

Even now, Ethan would panic if he was locked inside a room. It gave him a dreadful feeling and this was the only kind gesture that he could do for her.

He walked out of the room and saw Jace waiting for him.

"Got something?" Jace asked, as both of them walked out of the dungeon. The sky had turned dark as night fell and the cold wind ruffled their cloaks.

"No," Ethan replied curtly.

"Hm." Jace nodded. It was not a surprise because Cane had expected this.

"Cane still doesn’t want to see her?"

"No."

===========================

It was the dream about the five swords and an empty hall again, but as usual, Iris abruptly woke up when she touched one of the swords and found herself in an unfamiliar room.

Iris tilted her head and saw Cane perched on the windowsill. He just stared at her with his deep and unfathomable eyes for a moment, before he went to the table and poured a glass of warm water for her.

He said nothing when he helped her to drink the water after stacking more pillows behind her back, so she wouldn’t choke.

Iris accepted the glass, but he helped her to hold it firmly. His palm over her hand felt so cold.

"How are you feeling?" Iris asked after she drank all the water and put down the empty glass.

Cane took the glass and poured more water for her, but he didn’t answer her question. This time, Iris didn’t drink the water and just stared at him before she repeated the question.

"Aria will be hung tomorrow."

Iris was surprised to hear such news, especially when it came to this. There must have been a lot going on during the time she was unconscious.

She didn’t like the mistress because she hated her so much that she was willing to hurt her in any way possible, but hearing how she would meet her demise tomorrow didn’t make her feel any joy either.

However, despite all the questions that she wanted to ask Cane, she knew he didn’t need those queries.

Iris then put away the glass in her hand and reached out to Cane. She gave him a hug. She wrapped him in a tight embrace without saying anything, which caught him off guard.

Cane didn’t expect this from her, but he didn’t push her away either.
