Aria’s POV

The 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.

    Aria's POVI began imagining scenarios where Jade took over, and began living my life.Jade scoffed. ‘With how boring your life is, I’m not interested. 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 POV I watched in horror as the healers announced Cole’s death. My breath caught in my throat, and my body felt like it was sinking into the floor. It had all been in vain. We were too late. We couldn’t save him. A sense of numbness settled within me as I stared at the lifeless body on the bed. His skin was so pale, and his tiny chest was motionless. Jade took advantage of the crying parents and the chaos to slip away from the room. “We were too late,” I murmured, as the pain rushed through me. “No, we weren’t.” Jade mumbled, walking away from the room. I was confused. “What do you mean? He is dead!” I asked. Jade scoffed, almost sounding amused. “You were the one that said you wanted it subtle. The boy will be fine. The curse had eaten into him deeply, so it might take a little while before he wakes up.” I shook my head, I was finding it hard to believe her. False hope would only hurt worse. “But his heart has stopped,” I argued. “No, it hasn’t. I put his body into a for

    Aria's POV When I got back to my room, I still had a smile on my face as I closed the door behind me. “Someone had a great day,” Knox commented with a small smile on his face as he watched me. My smile widened, and I placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Yes, yes I did.” I whispered against his lips. “I’m glad to hear that. Tell me all about it, let me know who I need to reward for making my mate have a wonderful day.” He replied, wrapping his arms around my waist, and pulling me closer to him. “Well, in that case, you would need to meet Cole. He is responsible for making me this happy.” I said, placing my hand on his chest. Knox’s grip on my waist tightened slightly, and his eyes narrowed. “Cole?” He repeated slowly. His tone caused me to pause for a moment, furrowing my eyebrows at him. “What is it?” I asked in concern. His eyes flashed crimson, and his nose flared. “Cole? Huh? Tell me all about this Cole guy that’s causing you so much joy. I would like to personally thank him.” H

    Aria’s POV Disappointment washed through me as I stared up at the ceiling. I glanced at Knox sleeping heavily beside me, and I frowned slightly. Was something wrong with me? Why didn’t he do it this time? I had really thought this was it. I had thought that this was the moment that Knox would take this to the next level by marking me, but he didn't. ~Flashback~ Knox’s eyes glowed red – Fenrir was in control. His canines grew longer, and his claws grew sharper as he pinned me to the bed. As he thrust into me, he lowered his head to my neck. Without any hesitation, I turned my head to the side to give him easy access to do what he needed to. His breath was hot against my neck, and I shivered in anticipation. His tongue slipped out and ran along the side of my neck, right where his mark should be. His canine scraped against my neck, and I released a breathy sigh. Finally, he was going to do it. I thought to myself. Suddenly, he tensed on top of me, and began breathing heavily, clench

    Aria’s POVI clenched my fists in annoyance.“Stop calling Knox’s words ‘bullshit.’ I don’t appreciate that. He is my mate, and he is overprotective, but I love him for that.” I said firmly, refusing to answer to her question.There was a long silence after my words, and I stood up from where I sat at the edge of the bathtub, fully expecting Jade to stay silent after that.However, a low chuckle echoed in my mind, causing me to pause. Jade chuckled in amusement.‘Now, this is what I am talking about. Refusing to take nonsense, and firmly shutting down any form of disrespect. I'm proud.’ She said, still chuckling.“What?” I asked, even more confused.‘I was taunting you, Aria. I wanted to see if you would get riled up, and shut down my disrespect, or if you would just roll over and let it slide.’ She replied, still sounding amused.“Oh,” I muttered. I didn’t know what to say.‘What you just did now just made me believe that there is probably some hope for you,” Jade teased, and I rolle

    Aria's POVHis body visibly tensed at my question. His jaw clenched, and his eyes avoided mine. “Aria… I—”“Don’t give me excuses,” I interrupted, keeping my voice firm even though. “I’ve waited. I’ve been patient, and I’ve never pressured you or brought it up. But every time you get close to doing it, you pull back. Why?”He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. “It’s not that simple.”“Then explain it to me,” I pressed. “Because right now, it feels like you’re holding something back. And I’m starting to wonder if you want to get a strong, powerful female to mark as your Luna, then keep me in the shadows as a kind of housewife mate.”It was so painful to think about.His eyes flashed with frustration, and for a second, they flashed red. “I will never do something like that,” he growled, his eyes darkening. “You’re my mate, my Luna, and my Queen. Always.”“Then why won’t you mark me?” My voice cracked slightly, no matter how much I tried to steady my voice.Knox stood abruptl

    Aria's POV“Keep that stance straight,” Hunter snapped, circling around me slowly with his sharp eyes watching me. “If your feet are off balance, you’ll be on the ground before you can blink.”I adjusted my footing, with a small groan. I was sweating, even though the early morning air was cold. Hunter's training was ruthless.“Better,” Hunter said coldly. “Now again. Faster this time.”He lunged toward me without warning. I barely had time to react, sidestepping his attack to avoid being hit.“Not bad,” he said, stepping back with a cold smirk. “At least you’re not as useless as I thought.”I glared at him, wiping sweat from my forehead. “Gee, thank you for the confidence boost.”Hunter chuckled darkly. “I’m not here to boost your confidence, Luna. I’m here to make sure you can survive.”I rolled my shoulders, preparing myself for another attack. I was getting used to his words. “Survive what exactly? You?”He paused, raising an eyebrow at me with an unreadable expression on his face.

    Aria's POVSurprise surged through me at his words. “What?” I gaped stupidly.An amused look crossed his face, but it disappeared so fast that I thought that I had imagined it.“I am sorry for my sister’s behaviour,” he repeated, then he sighed. “Please don’t tell the alpha about it.” He said.I was getting so surprised and confused that I couldn’t hold in my surprise. “What is causing the sudden change of mind? Did you suddenly grow a conscience, and decide that I didn’t deserve all the unnecessary hate? Why are you suddenly so scared that I would tell the Alpha?” I spat as annoyance flickered through me.What was his end game? Why was he acting this way?Hunter released a sigh, and he placed his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants.“The Alpha has come such a long way to finally becoming the Alpha King. It wasn’t an easy task, and there are so many people that will love to see him go down. But that day hasn’t come, and I doubt it will ever come.” He started.“When I found out that

    Aria’s POVAs we walked through the hallway, a few pack members walked past us, bowing their heads in greeting.“Alpha, Luna,” one of them greeted with a polite nod.I smiled warmly. “Good evening.”Knox said nothing.I elbowed him after the pack member left. “Knox,” I mumbled under my breath. “You should have said something.”He grunted.I sighed. “At least nod?”He scowled at me, before turning to the next person we passed. His nod was so stiff that it looked painful.I rolled my eyes. “And maybe try smiling?”Knox scoffed. “I don’t feel like smiling at people, Aria.”“Well, you have to.”Another pack member greeted us. I smiled as I replied in greeting. Knox lifted his lips slightly. It looked less like a smile and more like a grimace.I blinked. “What was that?”“A smile,” he said flatly.I stared at him, then shook my head. “No, that was terrifying.”He shrugged. “That’s the best I can do.”I groaned in exasperation. “You’re hopeless.”He smirked, clearly pleased with himself for

    Aria's POVI lost track of how long I stood there, thinking, while Knox stood there, watching me carefully.All these things he said were horrible and cruel. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that they didn't change how I felt about Knox.My heart was heavy with the weight of his confession, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to hate him.I wasn't a bad person. I knew what he did was wrong. I felt terrible for the lives lost, and for the pain he had caused.But I also knew the man standing before me now wasn’t the same one who had done those cruel things.He regretted it.I could see it in his eyes, and I could hear it in his voice. He had been carrying that guilt, and I knew that no matter how much he tried to hide it, it haunted him.And despite everything… I still loved him.That love didn’t make me blind to what he had done. It made me recognize that he was a different man now.Slowly, I took a step forward.Knox stiffened, his gray eyes bor

    Aria’s POVMy heart pounded in my chest at his words. But when I thought that I knew what he was going to say, he shocked me even more.“She…was pregnant.” He muttered hesitantly.The words crashed into me, and my eyes widened slightly.I blinked, shaking my head slightly, as if I had misheard him. But the way he was looking at me told me I hadn’t.“No…” I murmured again in horror.My stomach turned, my legs felt weak, and for a second, I felt like I was going to be sick.I took a step back.He didn’t stop me. He just stood there, watching, waiting, as if he was bracing himself for my reaction.Because I knew.I knew what he had done.And I wasn’t sure if I was ready to hear it.However, the full truth was even more horrifying.“Vampires can’t have children,” Knox continued, keeping his eyes down. “But Viktor was very, very lucky. His mate was a human who got pregnant before he could turn her into a vampire. Everyone was talking about it, because it was something that had never happen

    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

    Aria's POV‘We have two options today,’ Jade muttered as I prepared to go to the pack’s clinic. ‘We could heal that little girl in room 76, or we could heal the young woman in room 128. 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

    Aria's POVMy mouth gaped open in shock as I stared at the glaring woman in front of me.Mama Felz looked me up and down like I was a stray dog that had just pissed on her doorstep.Was I hallucinating? 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
