Chapter Seventy-Nine
Warm.
It was so warm.
Everything around me felt like it was burning, our skin already flushed enough from the training just prior.
…And I wanted more.
With one hand tangled through his dark hair, my other was tracing slowly down the front of his chest, feeling every muscle under my touch. And Goddess was it flawless. His body moulded against mine perfectly, as if it had been made to fit there.
'…This is wrong,' a voice whispered inside.
And yet that thought only seemed to excite me further.
It felt a million times better than I thought it would, his mouth moving hungrily as it responded against mine. His lips softer than I would have ever imagined.
'…Stop…'
There was a sense of urgency, a sense of need as I clung to him, pressing myself up against him closer, desperately searching for as much contact as possible.
'...You need to stop.'
No, I r

“No…,” I whispered, the words choking out of my throat. Almost a whole day. I’d slept for almost a whole day. My vision hadn’t taken place just after sun*set*, it had been just before sun*rise*. And now an hour or so had already passed since then. I felt myself go completely numb, releasing Lucy’s hand from my grip. There was a crumbling beginning within me. Like I was falling… falling into an Abyss that was completely of my own making. One that was a hole I’d been desperately trying to swim away from these last four years, trying so goddamn hard to believe that there was still good in people. That even though I had been rejected, killed and abandoned by everyone around me, that there was still potential for people to do better. That I could do better. And now it seemed the final betrayal had embedded its dagger. The one I knew I wouldn’t ever survive. And, apparently, neither would my parents. '…There w

The room quickly erupted into chaos once Aleric had fallen. The council, who were probably all too shocked to move earlier, were now realising the full gravity of the situation. The situation where both Alphas now laid unmoving before me. Several warriors and Gamma Oliver turned their attention to me, an intent to kill written all over their faces, and I couldn’t blame them for thinking that. After murdering their Alpha, Oliver would feel it were now his responsibility to retaliate given he was the only full ranked member remaining. Or so he thought. I watched as he started to charge at me, his body almost on the brink of shifting and…. “ENOUGH,” I shouted out, my voice thick with authoritative command. And everyone immediately froze around me. I stood, waiting for several seconds and, when I was finally satisfied everyone had completely stopped, I cleared my throat, addressing the room. “Everyone sit back

“Swear your oath,” I said, my eyes narrowing at the man before me. His body still lowered in submission, he placed a hand over his chest in respect. “I, Alpha Tristan Green, of the Onyx Rock, hereby pledge my pack to the alliance offered by Alpha Ariadne of the Winter Mist. May our packs continue to prosper together under your guidance and protection.” Good. Satisfied with his words, I stood up and walked over to clasp my hand in his. “I accept.” And with that, another pack had joined the alliance. Though, more accurately, another had sworn to continue their alliance. Something that was seemingly slow going lately, the days dragging out. So much so, it was hard to believe that two months had already gone by. Two months since I’d killed Tytus, imprisoned Aleric, and became Alpha of the Winter Mist. And things were… okay. Not to say I was doing anything wrong. On the contrary, I had the p

As soon as the words had left my mouth though, I slowly started to take in what I was actually seeing before me. Because it was Cai, but… true to the excuse he’d provided, he really didn’t seem well. I could recall how he’d appeared worn out the last time we'd met, however this was on an entirely different level. He looked pale with dark circles under his eyes, perhaps having even lost some weight. The difference in his appearance was almost like an entirely different person from the man I’d first met all those years ago. “Aria,” he greeted, his voice having a rasp to it that hadn’t been there before. And, inside, a pang of guilt hit me. It seemed I really had dragged him out of his sickbed. “Take a seat,” I said, gesturing to the chair on the other side of my desk, and he complied. “I appreciate you coming here to meet with me.” “You didn’t give me much of a choice,” he replied. I simply nodded in turn. “Well,

The second I saw her standing there, I quickly collapsed to my knees, my grip releasing from the dagger immediately. I’d been merely a second away from doing it. From ending it. From finally letting go. And yet I was still alive. I gasped at the air around me, my body shaking from adrenaline as it pulsed through me. It had started as just a bluff… but somehow I’d found myself almost going through with it. ...Had I really fallen to that point? Regardless of the means though, I couldn’t dispute the results. Because Selene had shown herself. Standing in all her glory, her silver eyes analysing as she silently looked down at me. Even from here, I could feel that air around her. The one that made me want to give myself over to her. Funny how eerily similar it really was to Cai’s ability. The familiarity in the energy surrounding her was almost uncanny. After a minute or so had passed, I finally managed to calm down,

The burning inside my head was enough to eventually snap me out of the vision and I fell to the ground, wincing until the pain subsided. What I’d just seen was… indescribable. And not just seen, but felt. I’d felt what they had; what both Thea and Selene had gone through. Their pain, loss, sacrifices… all of it. It was a universe spanning far beyond my limited knowledge, a timeline as old as time itself. And it had now been burned into my brain. Selene had been right. Only describing this story wouldn’t have been enough. What I’d just experienced gave me a higher understanding than just simply being told. …But that didn’t mean I accepted what this meant for me. For all of us. Something she was probably expecting me to be lenient on given her status. “…We don’t mean anything,” I whispered to myself, still somewhat in a daze. “We’re just… fodder. Pawns. Foot soldiers… for you.” I looked back up sharply a

“Aleric,” I called out to him and carefully approached. Immediately, I saw how he tensed up at my presence, his eyes flashing dark for just a moment. I suppose it wasn’t that surprising to think he’d be furious after all this time down here. However, his words seemed to contradict this first impression, only succeeding in confusing me. “Aria,” he breathed, almost as if in a sigh of relief, before quickly focusing again. My eyes narrowed as I looked at him, unsure what game he was playing at. Was this some sort of act? “You can let her go now,” I said, jutting my chin towards Lucy. “If you kill her, you won’t have anyone to bring you your meals every day.” But his head moved back in confusion, taken off guard by my blunt response. “...What?” he simply asked, perplexed by my words. “I said… let her go or you’ll probably end up starving,” I repeated, taking a few more steps towards him. “She isn’t a part of this... But I g

'Why are you letting her live?' The voice inside hissed. 'She’s a traitor. A rat.' It’d been going on like this for a few days now ever since I made the agreement with Lucy. The original plan had been for Lucy to reach out to her mother in order to uncover Thea’s whereabouts, but something had gone wrong with that. According to Lucy’s mother, Thea hadn’t come back yet from whatever she’d been doing recently. Which caused several dilemmas. The main one being the safety of Lucy’s mother. Someone who apparently was now so scared for her life that she was demanding immunity within the pack for her information. A huge ask considering she was a rogue and it would mean losing an inside connection. Looking at her record, Stephanie Faulkner had crimes of fraud and theft committed against higher-ranked members. And whilst Lucy herself believed wholeheartedly that her mother was innocent, the evidence was stacked up against her.
