Aria's POV

“No! It can’t fucking be!” A familiar voice roared furiously. Liam Reed.

As I turned to look at Liam, I was slightly surprised. I had never seen him that angry before. His face was red, and the veins in his forehead were throbbing. His eyes blazed in fury, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

“That can’t be fucking true!” He repeated with a snarl.

“Liam,” Maxwell warned, placing a firm hand on his shoulder to hold him back from doing something stupid. Liam gritted his teeth, but he stayed put.

Knox, however, ignored him, and continued addressing the pack.

“However, we have a problem.” He said calmly, but I could see the anger simmering beneath. “The Gray Moon pack has committed treason” He declared loudly.

Murmurs erupted again, and everyone’s faces were confused. Treason? How?

“Knox,” Alpha Maxwell called from where he stood. He also looked confused. “What are you saying? How?” He asked.

Knox gave them an icy glare. “This pack has insulted me!” He declared furiously.

    Aria's POVLiam stood with defiance in his posture as he glared at Knox with contempt.Knox's eyes darkened, and he made to step forward, but I quickly held his hand. He turned to me, his eyes burning with anger.“Please, just let him be,” I pleaded, begging him with my eyes. I was tired of the confrontations and really just wanted to go now.He scowled fiercely at the insolent Liam, then, with a frustrated sigh, he turned away.“Let's go. I don't have time for foolish boys,” he growled, holding my hand.However, Liam was an idiot.“No! You can't fucking waltz in here and claim her like that! I won't fucking allow it!” Liam growled venomously.Knox paused and glanced back at him, raising an eyebrow. I could hear the watching crowd murmur and whisper among themselves.“Oh, is that so? And why won't you allow it?!” Knox asked with a deadly calm voice. His gray eyes were like a thunderstorm.Liam took another step forward, his wild eyes burning with malice.“Because she's my fucking mate

    Aria's POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I lunged forward. “Knox!” I yelled.Instantly, he froze. Then he turned to me slowly. I resisted the urge to gasp at the murderous look on his face.“Please don't,” I pleaded.His crimson eyes were glowing unlike anything I had ever seen. Those claws on his hands were probably from his wolf, but I had never heard of anyone being able to transform their hands into claws while still in human form.Everything about Knox was like a mystery, like some dark mystery that I was scared of unraveling.I couldn't say anything to him, I just kept my gaze on his, pleading with my eyes, even as I shook slightly in fear. He kept looking at me, studying and watching.Then, with a loud growl, he swiped his claws at Liam. Flora screamed in terror, while my eyes widened.The crowd that were watching gasped in horror. However, relief coursed through me as I saw that Knox didn't plunge his claws into Liam's heart as he originally wanted to. Instead, he raked his

    Aria's POVI jolted awake with tears on my face, and I couldn't stop sobbing as the pain from the dream lingered. I had to keep reminding myself that it was just a dream, it wasn't reality.However, I felt so uncertain. With the way Knox had acted a few hours ago, was it just a dream?I blinked in disorientation as I finally noticed where I was. My eyes widened as it dawned on me that I was not in my room, neither was I in the Gray Moon pack anymore.No, this must be the Moonshadow pack, Knox's pack.I sat up slowly on the bed, as I glanced round the room. The room was so large that I couldn't even call it a room. My old room could probably fit into this one at least ten times over.The room was so beautiful and grand, but it still felt warm and inviting. The walls were painted a soft pink.Back in my old room, my bed was barely big enough to stretch out on, but this bed was so massive I could roll over four times and still not reach the edge. The mattress was so soft it felt like I w

    Aria's POVThroughout our walk to Knox’s office, I was worried. What if my dream was actually reality? What if Knox really didn’t want me in his pack? I bit my lips in thought.Shawn was visibly tense. I could see it in the way he moved stiffly. I furrowed my eyebrows. Was that how scary Knox’s anger was? Even his gamma was scared of him.I winced as the image of Liam’s limp body flashed through my mind. Knox had brutally beaten his nephew, almost to death. So maybe his anger was that scary.I kept my head down as we walked past some of the pack members. I could feel their curious gazes on me as they wondered who I was. Knox hadn’t yet introduced me, so they didn’t know who I was.“Shawn!” A voice called from behind us, and Shawn turned around with a bright smile. “Hunter!”Hunter strolled towards us with a confident strut and a small smirk on his face. They did some sort of bro-handshake as they greeted themselves like brothers.However, I didn't see any similarity between them. Hunt

    Aria's POVIt was a beautiful female werewolf that reminded me so much of Veronica. She was tall, and she had long pale blonde hair and familiar blue eyes that stared at me with a sneer.“Yes? What is it?” She sneered, closing the door behind her.Several thoughts raced through my mind. Who was this lady? And what was she doing in Knox's office?I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. It was Shawn that replied.“She's here to see Knox, Astrid.”She lifted an eyebrow as she glanced between the two of us.“What does an omega want with the Alpha King?” She said with a slight smirk on her face, her blue eyes sparkled with mischief. I knew that she knew who I was. She was mocking me.Again, it was Shawn that replied tensely. “She's his mate, Astrid. The Luna Queen.” He said with a warning look in his eyes.Astrid looked me up and down. “Oh, really?”I pushed down the irritation that crept up at the tone of her voice.“And you are?” I asked, keeping my voice calm even with the anger I felt.He

There was no response.I knocked harder on the door again. “Knox!”Shawn's eyes were wide with terror as he tried to get me to leave.“Luna,” he whispered in fear. “Please, maybe you should—”“No, Shawn,” I snapped, cutting him off. “If he doesn’t want me here, he can say it to my face. I won’t be ignored.”I pounded on the door again. “Knox! I know you can hear me!” I yelled.Shawn tried again. “Please, Luna—”I shook my head firmly. “You can go, Shawn. This is between Knox and I. I don't want you suffering for anything. Just leave.” I told him.Shawn gulped, but surprisingly he didn't leave.I turned back to the door with determination in my mind. One way or another, Knox will have to see me.I pounded on the door. “Knox! I swear to the goddess! If you don't open this door, I'll make a scene! I'll make a huge scene that every single member of this pack will know something is wrong!” I yelled, and my voice echoed down the hallwa

    Aria's POVI could tell that my words cut deep into him because his face fell. I ignored the pain in his eyes as I turned to leave, too furious to care.“Aria,” he called softly, but I was too angry to respond. I stormed out of his office with clenched fists and tears running down my face.Shawn was waiting by the door with a nervous look on his face. His eyes widened slightly in relief when he saw me, but he winced when he saw my face. I furiously wiped the tears off my face, and walked off. He followed me back in silence.On my way back to the room, several thoughts raced through my mind. Was this the end? Should I start preparing to leave?Immediately I got back, I waved Shawn goodbye and closed the door, ignoring his look of pity.The moment the door closed, I dropped to my knees with a heavy sigh, and held my head with my hands. I couldn't cry anymore, maybe because my tears were finished. Knox's indifference was very hurtful, but I felt like I had gone far by comparing him with

He froze, but didn’t turn around.I sat up on the bed, and ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.“I’m tired, Knox.” I whispered with pain in my voice. “This… this isn’t what I thought it would be. I thought—” I paused to steady myself, I was done crying. “This is not… this is not what I signed up for. I left everything behind, and for what?”He stood silently like a statue.“I prefer my old life to this, Knox.” My voice said bitterly. “At least there, I knew where I stood. I knew who I was.”I took a deep breath. “I want to go back,” I said firmly. “I want to go back to the Gray Moon pack.”He tensed, and I could hear a sharp intake of breath, but still, he didn’t turn. He didn’t argue. He didn’t even flinch. It was as if my words meant nothing. My heart broke, I've been fooling myself all this while.“Look me in the eyes,” I whispered, a

No, thanks.’“Stay away from my thoughts,” I snapped.‘Tick tock, Aria. Time is going.’ Jade reminded me.I glanced at the clock. Ten minutes left...Oh, moon goddess, please don’t let me make a mistake that I would regret.“Alright, tell me what you need, Jade” I stated as determination coursed through me. It was time to save Cole.‘Just you. You just need to make a verbal proclamation, and the rest is from my side.’ Jade replied.I nodded, taking a deep breath as I prepared to do something strange.‘Repeat after me,’ Jade muttered, ‘I, Aria Blackwood,’“I, Aria Blackwood,” I repeated.‘Give full control to Jade in my right mind.’“Give full control to Jade in my right mind.” I repeated.‘So mote it be.’ She said“So mote it be.” I repeated.I glanced at the clock.

    Aria’s POVThe room was full of tension. Two healers stood beside him, monitoring his vitals, while his parents stayed with him for support. I couldn’t help but notice that everyone in the room kept glancing at the clock as his time got closer.“L...” He struggled to speak, looking in my direction with drooping eyes.The other people in the room turned their attention to me, before they continued what they were doing after giving me small bows.I gave him a small smile as I approached his bedside. “You’ve always been so stubborn. I told you to rest and save your strength.”His eyes glinted with amusement, but he couldn’t form the words. I knew what he wanted to say. Then he gave me a questioning look. “Al.....Ki...” He mumbled weakly.I nodded. “Yes, I’ll make sure I introduce you to the Alpha King.”Cole had made me promise that when he died, I would introduce him to the Alpha King. It had been a very strange request, but there was no way I was going to say no to his request.The lig

    Aria’s POVCole had been brought here eight days ago, the same day that I started working at the pack clinic. He always had a large grin on his face when he spoke and chatted with the other healers.I can still remember the look of awe on his face when he saw me. “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it, it’s you. The Luna Queen.” He had exclaimed in pure joy and excitement that tugged at my heart.However, when I was told of his condition, the first thing I wanted to do was distance myself from him to avoid getting hurt. He was going to die soon. It would only upset me if I allowed myself to get close to him.Cole, however, kept asking to see me, and eventually I had to give in. Every day, I always spent at least an hour with him, answering his questions or just keeping him company.“Is the Alpha King really heartless as they say?” he murmured shyly one day as I propped up the pillows behind him to make sure he was comfortable.I paused slightly at his question, and I released a small laugh.

    Aria’s POV~Eight days later~Every morning, as I woke up to prepare for training with Hunter, I could sense Knox’s disapproval. But true to his word, Knox had never tried to force me to stop. Sometimes, he would accompany me to the training area, before he went off to do only God knows what. We had both agreed that I would stop the strenuous activities when I got to the third month of the pregnancy, as werewolves’ pregnancies were only for five to six months.However, training with Hunter was getting frustrating. Hunter only made me run, nothing more. Yes, my speed and endurance had increased greatly; I wanted to move to the other part, the fighting part.I rolled my eyes as I ran. This was the fourteenth lap, and I felt like my body was going to break down at that moment. On the fifteenth lap, my legs were shaking so badly that I had to stop running to avoid falling down.As usual, Hunter handed me a bottle of water with a cold look on his face. Today, I was so annoyed that I ignore

    Aria’s POV “Come on, Aria. You’re pregnant. You can’t still be thinking of going for training.” Knox murmured sleepily the next morning when I woke up to prepare. I released a small laugh. “I am pregnant, not disabled.” Knox groaned. “But you passed out yesterday.” He mumbled. I shrugged. “After you left, I was feeling like a mess after, and I couldn’t sleep that night. That was why I passed out yesterday. Not because I was pregnant.” Knox groaned again. “You are so stubborn.” He grumbled as he sat up on the bed, rubbing his face with his palm, “I would love to come with you to tell Hunter to take it easy, but I know you might not appreciate that. So please tell Hunter that you’re pregnant, so that he will reduce your workload.” At his words, I paused. I was surprised. The Knox of before wouldn’t have even allowed me to step a foot outside if he knew I was pregnant. He hadn’t even insisted that he come tell Hunter himself. Knox noticed the look on my face, and a small smile cros

    Aria’s POV “Knox,” I said firmly, with a determination that I didn’t know I had in me. Knox kept his gaze down, avoiding my eyes, as he stood behind his chair at the head of the table. I pursed my lips for a moment, before I walked towards him with a frown on my face. “Knox, we need to talk. Honestly, it is hurtful to find out that you don’t trust me. How could you make such statements? You called my child – our child, a bastard. You accused me of cheating! That’s too low, Knox!” I snapped, and my voice shook, no matter how I tried to keep it steady. “I’m sorry,” Knox mumbled, still not meeting my eyes. I blinked in surprise, and my mouth opened and closed a few times in shock. “What?” Knox lifted his head slowly to meet my eyes. His eyes were wet and remorseful. “I shouldn’t have said all those things. I’m so sorry.” I took a step back with a furrow on my eyebrows. “Hold on, are you apologizing?” I couldn’t help but ask. I thought it would take a lot of arguments and explanati

    Aria’s POV The other members of the council immediately began applauding and cheering. A small smile crossed Knox’s face at that, and I decided to take it as a good sign. I glanced at the faces of the people on the table. Cornelius looked like he had tasted something sour. Hunter had an unreadable look on his face, while Shawn had a very broad grin on his face as his eyes shone with excitement. Knox stood up, and every other person stood up also. “Please let me introduce my mate, my Luna, the Luna Queen, Aria Blackwood!” He announced, his voice echoed through the room. The cheers increased, and a chair was added to the table, right beside Knox at the head of the table. Hunter sat on the right side of the head of the table, while Shawn sat on the other side, then Cornelius sat beside Hunter. After introducing every one of them, my mind raced as I tried to remember all their names. Because it would be a huge embarrassment if I mixed up one person’s name with another. Though I might

    Aria's POV Immediately I got to my room, I took a shower, and got dressed with determination in my mind. I was going to find Knox. I had given him enough time to think and process. If he still thought that I cheated on him, then it meant there was no trust between us, and I was just wasting my time. The first place I checked was his room, and the secret room in his room. Just like the last time, I wondered how he slept in this room. It had no bed, no furniture. Nothing. A small smile crossed my lips when I remembered my meeting with Fenrir in the secret room. I checked this office next, and after knocking for several minutes without any reply, I decided to check the training area. As I made my way there, I spotted Hunter standing in a hallway, making a phone call. I needed to thank him for taking me to the clinic even though I knew he abhorred me. I approached him slowly, to make sure he was done with the phone call. I cleared my throat to get his attention. “Beta Hunter,” He tu

    Aria's POVI woke up in the pack clinic with a soft ringing in my ears, and, as usual, aching muscles.I released a soft groan as I shakily tried to sit up on the bed.“Woah, woah. Easy there.” Shawn's voice called, as he immediately rushed to my side to support me.“What happened?” I groaned, squinting my eyes because of the harshness of the light in the room.“You passed out.” Shawn replied.“Gave us quite a scare.” Lisa, Shawn's mate, added.I glanced to my side to see Lisa entering the room.“When did I pass out?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. “The last thing I remember was…” I trailed off as I remembered what had happened yesterday.“Oh,” I mumbled softly as I was reminded of the ache in my chest.“What happened out there? Was Hunter working you too hard?” Shawn asked with concern in his eyes.“That cold-hearted asshole.” Lisa cursed under her breath.I shook my head absentmindedly, “No. Did Knox come by?” I asked, glancing behind them.Shawn's eyes softened with sympathy. “No,
