Aria didn't know why she uttered those hurtful words that had been in her mind for a long time. She did hate Lyod, but she had no intention of revealing it to the young man like this. She was a coward and loved her neck more than expressing her hatred toward the Alpha King. And yet, she slipped off her tongue.
She should be grateful that Lyodreck didn't kill her right then and there, but somehow she felt otherwise. Aria felt like her heart was stabbed by a sword when she saw the young man's dejected expression.
It pained her to see his hopeless face as if it were the world's end.
Would he feel better if she took her words back?
Part of her wanted to say it was her mistake, and she didn't mean it, but her brain said otherwise. He deserved that. Let him be in pain, and she shouldn't worry him.
