ARIA POV

A hand clamped down on my mouth. I jumped up in bed, heart pumping, ready to scream, but instead found myself staring into smiling eyes.

I scrambled backward. "What are you doing here?" "How did you get past the guards?"

Jaxon, the middle triplet, flashed that menacing smile that made my stomach turn. Unlike his cool brother Kael, who had abandoned me hours ago with word of Mira’s attack, Jaxon exuded untamed vitality.

Before he unwrapped it, I could smell the delightful aroma of fresh bread, roasted pork, and sweet berries. My mouth watered. I hadn’t eaten since the morning, too worried about Mira to feel hungry.

"Is this stolen?" I inquired, despite my stomach growling.

Jaxon’s grin broadened. "Only from the Alpha’s private kitchen."

"Your father’s kitchen," I clarified.

"Details." He waved his hand. "Eat. "You’ll need strength for tomorrow’s test."
