Chapter: Chapter 34Darius PovWe were back to our pack. The trip to the silverclaw pack has been nothing but disastrous.Kael and Diamond wanted Aria back in their pack and I just found out that Diamond is planning something bad.I heard a knock on the door, “Come in.”The door was pushed open and Ryker walked into the office.“What is the update?” I asked him without waiting for his input.“Hmmm….a lot is going on but the two ceremonies would be held side by side. So Aria can renounce her rights to the pack and the celebration for being a new pack can commence.” Ryker told me the details.“Why was the ceremony not held in the Silverclaw pack?”I stood up from my chair and walked to the big window, “I don't trust them not to pull any other stunt to try and keep Aria there.”Ryker walked to the window, “You seem to really like her.”I paused for a while, “I do, a lot”“Then why don't you let her know?” Ryemker turned to me.“I…I…don't know. Aria has been through so much, from her family, her sister, her

Chapter: Chapter 33Aria’s POVThe wind rushed past me as Darius drove through the darkened roads, the headlights illuminating the path ahead as we headed back to the pack I now call home.The weight in my chest was lighter now, but the sting of my parents' words still lingered.I had expected cruelty, but hearing them confirm that I was never wanted, never loved—it was a wound that wouldn’t heal overnight.Darius remained silent beside me, his hands gripping the wheel firmly. The air in the car was tense, but not uncomfortable. It was a silence that spoke volumes—a silence of understanding.“Are you sure you’re okay?” he finally asked, his deep voice cutting through the quiet.I turned my gaze to him, my heart warming at the concern in his expression. Darius was not the type to show emotions openly, but I had come to recognize the subtle ways he cared.“I’m fine,” I said, offering a small smile. “I just needed to hear it for myself. Now, I have no regrets.”He nodded, his eyes focused on the road. “You

Chapter: Chapter 32Aria’s POVI hade decided that before I would cut ties with this pack forever, I must see the people who made me the way I am today.My parents.The journey back to my parents’ home was longer than I remembered, each step dragging as if the universe itself was warning me to turn around but I needed to do this.I needed to face them one last time before severing every tie to this wretched pack.By the time I arrived at the grand estate which they live in after Diamond's coronation, the sun had begun to set, casting long shadows over the familiar stone walls.Nothing had changed, the same suffocating coldness that had once made this place feel more like a prison than a home.I inhaled sharply before pushing the doors open, stepping inside the lavish foyer. The air was thick with the scent of burning wood from the fireplace, but there was no warmth here.Voices drifted from the sitting room, the sound of laughter and clinking glasses making my stomach twist.They were celebrating.The th

Chapter: Chapter 31 Diamond’s POV The grand chamber’s doors slammed shut behind Aria, and I remained frozen in place, my nails digging into my palms. The council’s verdict rang in my ears like a cruel joke. She was leaving……..For good this time. No longer bound by the Silver Claw Pack. No longer tied to Kael. No longer within my reach. I should be happy but I am not. I have always hated my sister and I would do anything to make sure is not happy. I clenched my jaw as I turned to Kael, who still sat in his chair, his golden eyes fixed on the spot where Aria had stood. His expression was unreadable, but I knew him well enough to sense the tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers drummed against the armrest—a telltale sign of his frustration. “She’s actually getting away with this?” I spat, my voice sharp with disbelief. Kael exhaled slowly, standing up from his seat. “She won’t be our problem anymore.” I let out a bitter laugh. “That’s exactly the problem, Kael.” I stalked toward him, my fis

Chapter: Chapter 30Aria’s POVThe silence in the grand chamber was suffocating. Every breath felt like a struggle as I stood in the center of the room, waiting for the council’s verdict. Darius remained by my side, his presence a silent pillar of support, but I could sense his tension mirroring my own.Across from me, Kael sat with a composed expression, his golden eyes watching me like a predator stalking its prey. I clenched my fists, refusing to let him see even a sliver of weakness.The lead elder, the woman with piercing green eyes, finally looked up from the whispered deliberations among the council members. “Lady Aria, the council has come to a decision.”I held my breath.She continued, her tone measured. “While your departure was in violation of pack law, we recognize the circumstances that led to your actions. A rejection, especially a public one, is a heavy burden to bear, and we acknowledge that Alpha Kael’s decision played a significant role in your exile.”Kael stiffened slightly at the el

Chapter: Chapter 29Aria’s POVI clenched my fists so tightly my nails bit into my palms. The air in Kael’s office felt thick, suffocating, as if it carried the weight of our past—of every moment he had crushed me beneath his arrogance.“You’re just following the law?” I scoffed, stepping closer to his desk. “That’s rich coming from the same man who broke the most sacred bond in our world or do you not remember rejecting me in front of the entire pack?”Kael’s lips curved into a smirk, but I caught the way his fingers tightened around his pen. “And yet, here you are, standing in my office, looking like you’re ready to tear my head off.” He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “I think we both know I still hold power over you, Aria.”His words sent a surge of fury through me. I slammed my hands on his desk, making the papers flutter. “You don’t hold anything over me—-Not anymore.” My voice was low, dangerous.“I have a pack now—a real pack, where I’m valued. And you will not keep me here against m

Chapter: Chapter 33Isabella’s POVThe moment Hennessy stepped into the dim light, the air in the room turned to ice. She was exactly as I remembered—sharp, calculated, her dark eyes glinting with a cruelty that made my skin crawl. The last time I’d seen her, she’d been bleeding out on the floor of a warehouse, Noah’s bullet in her gut. Now, she looked perfectly in control. And that terrified me. “You look surprised,” she purred, circling me like a predator sizing up wounded prey. “Did you really think I’d stay down after what you did?” I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to meet her gaze. “Guess I should’ve aimed for your head.” Hennessy’s smile didn’t waver. “Cute.” She stopped in front of me, her manicured nails trailing along my jaw. “But we both know you’re not the one who pulled the trigger.” Noah. She wanted Noah. And I was the bait. Liam leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching with a smirk. “Told you she’d be feisty.” Hennessy’s fingers tightened, her nails digging int

Chapter: Chapter 32Isabella’s POVThe moment Ryan confirmed the mole had taken the bait, the room erupted into motion. Julian was already at the door, his usual smirk replaced by a razor-sharp focus. Mateo pulled a gun from his waistband, checking the magazine with practiced ease. Caleb and Ryan exchanged a silent nod before moving toward the security feeds. And Noah? His hand closed around my wrist, pulling me back before I could follow. His grip was firm, his eyes burning into mine. “You don’t move unless I say so.” I yanked my arm free. “This was my plan. I’m not staying behind.” His jaw tightened, but before he could argue, Julian cut in. “We don’t have time for this. The mole could be bolting right now” Noah’s gaze flickered between us, conflict flashing in his eyes. Then, with a sharp exhale, he grabbed my hand and pulled me forward. “Fine. But you stay close.” The command was absolute, leaving no room for debate. We moved fast. Ryan stayed behind to monitor communications, track

Chapter: Chapter 31Isabella’s POVThe air in the room felt charged, thick with unspoken words and barely contained fury. Julian tapped a few keys on the laptop, his smirk fading into a serious expression as he scrolled through the messages.The chat log was filled with coded exchanges, but one thing was clear—the mole had been feeding Hennessy information for weeks.Noah stood beside me, his muscles tense, his presence a storm waiting to break. “How far back do these messages go?” he asked, his voice sharp.Julian didn’t look up. “A month, maybe longer but there’s something else—” He enlarged one of the messages, his jaw tightening. “Hennessy is planning another attack.”My stomach twisted. “When?”Julian glanced at me, his blue eyes unreadable. “Tomorrow night.”The words sent a ripple of tension through the room. Caleb cursed under his breath, Ryan crossed his arms, and Mateo’s jaw clenched. Noah, however, remained eerily still, his focus locked on the screen.I swallowed hard. “Do we know where?”Jul

Chapter: Chapter 30Isabella’s POVThe silence in my room felt heavier than usual. Even with Julian gone, my mind refused to settle.Noah’s words replayed in my head like a broken record. Then maybe stop making it look like you belong to someone else.Possessiveness…….. Control.I let out a slow breath, pressing my fingers against my temples. I should be focusing on the traitor.On the danger creeping closer with every passing hour but instead, my thoughts were tangled with Noah’s anger, Julian’s warnings, and the unshakable weight of something I didn’t want to name.I moved to the window, pushing aside the curtain. The city stretched below, glowing with life. A contrast to the darkness in my world.Tomorrow, we find out who the mole is.Julian’s words echoed in my mind, sending a chill down my spine.The truth was, I wasn’t ready.I had spent so much time playing a role—pretending to be something I wasn’t, balancing between deception and survival—that I almost forgot what it meant to truly be something.

Chapter: Chapter 29Noah’s POVThe night air was thick with tension, but not the kind that came from planning a trap for a traitor. No, this was something different. Something that burned in my chest every time I saw Isabella and Julian together.I leaned against the balcony railing, staring out into the darkness. Below, the city pulsed with life, oblivious to the war brewing in our world.I had barely closed my eyes since we got back. Sleep wasn’t an option when the woman who was supposed to be mine—even if only in name—was spending all her time whispering with Julian.I clenched my jaw, pushing the thought away. This wasn’t about jealousy…… It was about control.About keeping Isabella safe.Footsteps approached behind me. I didn’t need to turn around to know it was her.“We need to talk,” I said, my voice sharp.Isabella sighed, stepping beside me. “I figured you’d say that.”I finally turned to face her. Her arms were crossed, her expression guarded. Good. She knew what was coming.“You’re getting too

Chapter: Chapter 28Isabella’s POVThe ride back from the docks was suffocating, the tension thick enough to choke on. The only sounds were the roar of the engine and the occasional shuffle of weapons being checked and reloaded. My pulse was still racing from the ambush, but my mind was sharper than ever.We had a mole.And they had nearly gotten us all killed.Noah was behind the wheel, his jaw tight as he maneuvered through the dimly lit streets. Julian sat in the front passenger seat, his grip on his gun unrelenting. In the back, Caleb, Ryan, and Mateo were silent, each lost in their own thoughts Or, perhaps, one of them was hiding something.I glanced at Julian. He hadn’t spoken since we got into the car, but his entire body was tense, coiled like a predator waiting to strike.“We need to talk,” I said, my voice low.Julian turned his head slightly, his sharp eyes meeting mine. “We’ll talk when we’re somewhere safe.”I folded my arms, refusing to back down. “Safe?

I was instantly flooded with the feeling of relief as I held onto him with all my might.His shocked eyes runs over my form, before stopping to observe the bruises on my face." Evelyn, what did they do to you?", He asked burning with anger.I placed my fingers on his lips signalling towards the direction I came from." Not here, later we'll talk, let's just leave now", I whispered scanning our surroundings.He nodded, pain reflecting

Don't be stupid. I could trust his scheming ass more than your sly utterances", She barked in disbelief.Terry waved his hands at her, silently asking her to be quiet as he ruminated on my words." Are you sure?", He asked looking deep into my steely eyes.I nodded, " He has been selling information about you to Adrian in exchange for financial assistance ", I told him. In my mind I patted my back, since he was eager to get information I'll ensure I fed him with enough to change his entire narrative." Terry, please don't tell me you believe this tramp, she's fooling you. Richard is on our side, remember", Victoria said convincingly."
