Aria's POV

Throughout 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

    Aria's POVHe opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off.“That day with Liam—was I scared? Yes, of course I was scared. I had never seen you like that before. The way you ruthlessly beat him up… it was something else.”Knox flinched and he clenched his jaw. “Aria, I—”“I’m not done,” I interrupted, stepping closer. “But he deserved it. He was going to attack me. He kept pushing you, taunting you. So yes, I was scared, but it changed nothing between us. I still want you, Knox.” My voice was firm, but my hands trembled.He stood up, shaking his head over and over. “You don’t get it, Aria. Haven’t you seen how everyone looks at me? My own Gamma is terrified of me. This isn’t about Liam or whether he deserved it. This is about me. What I am!”“I don’t care, Knox!” I snapped, my voice rising. “I want you.”“You shouldn’t want me!” he barked, “Not with what I am. Not with what I’ve done.”I clenched my fists in frustration. Knox was just going in circles, repeating the same vague

    Aria's POVWe stood there in each other's arms for some time.“You’re going to regret this,” he whispered into my hair.“Maybe,” I replied, tightening my arms around him. “But it’s my regret to make.”Knox didn’t say anything else, but he also tightened his arms around me.“I have missed you,” he murmured softly.I hummed in contentment. “Me too.”Finally, we pulled away from each other. He searched my eyes, probably looking to see if I was doubting my decision in any way.“So, what next?” He asked with a small smile.I shrugged and sat on the edge of bed. He left the chair he was sitting on previously, and sat beside me on the bed.“I have a lot of questions, actually,” I confessed.He winced slightly, but he nodded in understanding. “Yeah, I know.”I furrowed my eyebrows in curiosity. “How did you get cursed? And what type of curse is it?” I inquired.An unreadable expression crossed his face, and he released a deep breath.“I did a horrible thing,” he started. I opened my mouth to

    Aria's POVI was going to be introduced to Knox's pack as the Luna Queen. My heart pounded, and cold sweat dripped down my spine as I imagined standing in front of the crowd. An omega without a last name, claiming the title of the Luna Queen.My mind flashed back to the sneer on his Beta's face, and the depreciating look on the Beta sister's face. How would the rest of the pack react?I winced as I remembered how I had been pounding on Knox's office door yesterday, drawing attention to myself.“Aria?” Knox's concerned voice pulled me back into reality. It looked like he had been calling me for a while.I blinked, and turned to him with a smile that didn't reach my eyes.He furrowed his eyebrows and approached me looking worried.“Are you okay? You look… pale.”I nodded and gave him a small smile. “Yeah… yeah… I'm fine.” I tried to assure him. I didn't want him to worry.He wasn't convinced. He placed his hands gently on my shoulders.“Are you sure?” He asked softly, his gray eyes peer

    Aria's POVI felt something break in me at Shawn's words. “How do you know that I can do it?” I whispered, hating how exposed and vulnerable I sounded.Shawn smiled genuinely. “Because I can see a quiet strength in you. You were previously the mate of an alpha, now you're the mate of the alpha king himself. The moon goddess must have seen some qualities in you that qualify you to be a Luna.”His words left me speechless, and I blinked rapidly to fight the tears that wanted to fall. It wasn’t just what he said, but how he said it—with such conviction and belief.“At first, I was scared for you, but when I saw how you courageously confronted the Alpha King yesterday, insisting on what you wanted, I knew that the moon goddess did not make a mistake. Nobody could ever dare that with him, but you did it so easily.”The image of Astrid leaving Knox's office flashed through my mind, but I ignored it.He shrugged. “That's why I know that you can handle it.”“Thank you, Shawn,” I said quietly,

    Aria's POVI closed the door behind me, watching as Knox paced the length of the room. His movements were sharp, restless, like he was barely keeping himself together. His fists clenched and unclenched at his sides, his entire body coiled tight. Whatever was on his mind, it wasn’t just about the meeting. It was deeper. More personal.“Knox? What's going on?” I asked.He didn't reply at first, but I knew he heard me because he glanced at me for a split second.I waited patiently for a few minutes, hoping he would respond. But nothing, he just kept pacing.“Knox!” I snapped, and he paused in his pacing, turning to me slowly.“What the hell is going on? You're freaking me out! Is it the threat of the vampires that is causing you to react this way?” I asked.“I know that everyone is tense, but there's something more bothering you. What is it?” I asked firmly, keeping my eyes on his.He ran a hand through his hair, looking so frustrated, but in the frustration, I saw something else. Somethi

But I suggest we heal the young woman instead.’I paused, frowning. “What? Why? That little girl’s sickness is more serious. The healers are already losing hope on her. The young woman’s illness isn’t so bad—her treatment is just complicated.”‘I think healing the young woman is better. It’s less risky,’ Jade insisted.My frown deepened. “Okay, something’s up. Lately, you keep pushing for smaller cases. At first, I thought it was because you wanted me to rest after healing Hunter, but it’s been three days.”Jade was silent for a moment before sighing. ‘Look, I’m trying to be cautious, Aria. If you want to take on a complicated case, make sure Knox approves it first. I don’t want to give your mate more reasons to hate me.’I smirked. “Oh my goddess, I can’t believe it.”‘What?’ Jade asked, sounding confu

    Aria's POVI opened my eyes to see Knox hovering over me, his gray eyes with worry. His hands were holding onto mine tightly, like he was afraid I would disappear if he let go.“Aria?” He said softly, and I smiled.“Hey,”He exhaled sharply in relief, and his shoulder sagged as if he had been holding his breath this whole time.“Thank the moon goddess.” He breathed, running a hand through his hair. “Even though you had told me what to expect, I didn’t expect it to be that scary, Aria.” He admitted, gripping my hand tighter.I lifted an eyebrow at him. “Did you freak out?” I asked with a small smile.He scoffed as though I had asked a ridiculous question, “Of course I did. Do you have any idea how scary it was to watch you pass out so abruptly?”I furrowed my eyebrows in thought. “How long was I unconscious?” I asked.“Four hours, Aria. You were unconscious for four damn hours,” he replied, clenching his jaw.I blinked in surprise, “Four hours? Really? But it didn’t feel like that over

    Aria's POVI swallowed. “So… is that why I passed out?” I had been worried that something had gone wrong.“Of course it is,” Mama Felz said dryly, taking another sip of whiskey. “If you weren’t such a stubborn little shit, you would have stopped before it got this bad. Your body must have been giving you fucking signs.”I winced. It had been a long time since I had been called a ‘little shit’.Gosh, I was already missing Knox—he called me little angel.“So, what do I do now?” I asked her.She sighed and leaned back. “You wait. You rest. Your body needs time to recover. There ain't no quick fix for this, kid.”I pressed my lips together. I didn’t like that answer. Knox was probably losing his mind right now, and Hunter.My stomach clenched. “Will the person I was healing be okay?”She eyed me for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah. What you did should hold. But if you push yourself like that again too soon, you might fall into a magical exhaustion coma, and those are fucking pains in the ass

Because there was no way I was back at the Gray Moon Pack.My heart skipped a beat. What if I was?“Hey!” Mama Felz snapped, “I asked you a fucking question! What the fuck are you doing here?”Panic gripped me as I imagined what would happen if I was back at the Gray Moon Pack.“Where… Where am I?” I asked shakily, glancing around as I prayed internally that I was hallucinating. “Am I really back at the Gray Moon Pack?”She frowned at me. “Of course not! What kind of stupid question is that? Have you started teleporting?”I shook my head slowly. “I don’t…I don’t think so.” I muttered slowly. I wasn’t sure, because I hadn’t even known that I could heal people.Mama Felz must have seen something on my face because she sighed. “You’re not here physically. This is just a projection.” She e

    Aria's POVKnox had ordered everyone out of the room, claiming that the Alpha King and Luna Queen needed to pay their last respects to the Beta. At this point, Hunter was paralyzed.A small thrill of satisfaction coursed through me when Astrid rushed to Knox with tears running down her face, and he stepped away, coldly telling her to step outside too. I knew I shouldn’t be feeling that way, but I couldn’t help it. Knox wasn’t a comforting shoulder for her to lean on, and it wasn’t like Hunter was going to die.She sobbed, looking confused. “But… he’s my brother. He’s dying, and I need somebody to—”“My mate and I are here to pay our last respects. Step outside.” Knox interrupted coldly.It was probably cruel of Knox, as Hunter was her only living relative who was currently dying, but Knox knew how I felt about his relationship with Astrid. Besides, he knew that there was a probability that Hunter wasn’t going to die, so he wasn’t as cruel as they were probably thinking.Immediately the

It will haunt me forever, please.” I pleaded, placing my palm on his chest.His eyes stayed on mine, filled with worry, frustration and desperation.After what felt like an eternity, he released a shaky breath.“Damn it,” he muttered.My heart pounded. “Knox—”“I’ll be there,” he said firmly, “And if I notice that anything is about to go wrong, you'll have to stop.”Relief flooded through me, and I nodded. “Okay.”Knox pulled me into his arms again. This time he held me tightly like he was scared of losing me. I closed my eyes, enjoying the warmt

She had wanted me to heal Hunter first, before telling Knox, but I was done with keeping secrets. So immediately I heard that Knox had returned and was in Hunter’s room. I quickly made my decision, and rushed out to meet him.Knox was on his way to my room when I met him. His clothes were torn and stained with blood. However, there were no scratches or bites on him. Relief flooded through me, and my tense muscles relaxed. Knox was alright.I knew we still had a few unresolved issues, but those could wait for now. I threw my arms around him as a sob escaped me. “Oh, thank the moon goddess, you’re alive”, I sobbed, tightening my arms around him.I could feel as the tension in his body melted away, and he relaxed, wrapping his arms around my body.“My little angel,” he murmured, burying his nose into my air and inhaled deeply, relaxing even moreAfter a few minutes, we pulled aw

I thought to myself.‘You can go heal him.’ Jade said.I frowned in confusion. “I’m sorry, what are you saying?” I asked.‘I think you should try to save his life.’ She replied.“What do you mean? You just persuaded me from doing so, reminding me that I was risking the life of my unborn child. Now you want me to go ahead?”‘No, no. I'm not asking you to risk your life or your pregnancy. There's something I want us to try. If it works, there's a high possibility that we can heal him—without harming you or the baby.’My heart skipped a beat. “What?”Jade pressed. “When you healed that man, you took his sickness. You absorbed it. But this isn’t just sickness—it’s venom. Something entirely different.”I swallowed hard, glancing at Hunter’s trembling body. “So what are you saying?”‘I’m saying that we need to do things differently.’ She re
