ARIA'S POV:
I stood in silence, watching the flames go up and her body become ashes. The whole pack was gathered too.
“She was poisoned,” it had been two days since the physician gave that report and I had not been able to process it.
“She's been quiet ever since the incident,”
“It's like she's trapped in her own body,”
“This must be hard for her. She was with the princess all day,”
Everyone else had departed, but I remained at the fireplace where Ella was burned. My feet felt glued to the ground. For days, all the voices around me sounded like echoes.
“She has neither eaten nor drank.”
“Or gotten any rest,”
The pack members passing by had their different stories. All they said was the truth. For two days I wouldn't leave Ella's bed. I relived over and over every single moment.
