Kai's POV
The world was a blur of pain my body felt heavy and every breath hurt, the poison was a fire in my veins and I could not move, I could only lie in the dirt then I heard Malrick’s voice it was a ugly sound.
He said he had won. He said Aria was his.
Then I heard her voice it was clear and strong, it cut through the pain like a knife.
She said her name, her real name. Aria Silverbane. She said it for everyone to hear.
I tried to lift my head and could not but I could see her she stood between me and Malrick.
She was not tall and she was not big but in that moment, she was the biggest thing I had ever seen. She was a queen defending her kingdom.
She rejected Malrick she said the words I dreamed of hearing she chose me and told the whole world I was her mate.
Her love washe
