Scent of Betrayal The Shifting Rogue
Kaidën "Alpha, where are you going? Is everything alright?" Riven tries to step in front of me, but I shove him out of the way. A surprised look appears on his face, but he resumes what he's been trying to do. "Did Eliana tell you something? Please talk to me," he pleads again. I stop, finally realizing myself. "You were down there for six hours. Did you discover something?" My eyes shoot towards him when he says that. Six hours ago, Riven had come down to the place Eliana was locked up to find me. My eyes had been shaky, my breathe coming out in ragged breathes, my body as stiff as stone. He hadn't been able to tell what was wrong, and I'd been too dazed to explain to him that the woman in front of me was dead. Riven hadn't noticed, and I hadn't told him. Those empty eyes still feel like they're haunting me even as I walk as far away from that place as I can. She's dead. My only remaining family is gone. I'm not too surprised by the guilt I feel-maybe if I hadn't locked

Kaidën Finally feeling a different type of soil under my paws, I shift back. Stretching and groaning to ease out my stiff muscles. It is safer to do this as often as I can, so my body can get used to it, but I don't care. It will be better if I lost the ability completely, than shift anymore behind my camp members back. When I'm done stretching, I walk down a further path, trying to find the exact spot I'm looking for. It takes me more than a while, due to the darkness-even though every time I come here, it's under the cover of darkness. Maybe my mind likes to believe meeting up here is something of a make believe. Something I can't possibly be doing, but I'm desperate. I hate that after seeing Eliana's slumped body, dead and without life, my first thought hadn't gone to her killer. No, I had shamefully been more worried about who was after Aria's life again. I shake my head, and clench my fists in annoyance. "This is even worse than a mate bond." I mutter to myself, sudde

It's my eighteenth birthday today, and I'm supposed to be joined with my mate. Cassius Emberwing. But somehow, I'm watching my mate in the arms of another woman-my best friend, Piper. Everyone's eyes are on me. They're all looking at me like they can't see me. "Where's your scent, Aria? We can't sense your wolf." "A shifter without a scent..." My heart shatters, and I recall the events that led up to this day. Days before my 18th birthday. "Rogue!"Someone's startled voice pulls my attention towards the clanking sounds I can hear coming from the gates. Guards quickly assemble themselves, like they are preparing for war. The fear of a rogue in the realm can bring anyone's attention to a stand still. It's common knowledge in the Shifters realm that all rogues are deemed unworthy of anything more than to simply await their death in the Rogue's camp. They are stripped of all bearings, and forced into the forest to live away the rest of their days in abject loneliness.I like t

KaidënHe was slaughtered like an animal. A common worthless animal. "One day, I will kill all of them." Riven spits out bitterly. I can't blame him. He holds in his hands the body of his little brother, lifeless and pale. An open gash in the little boys neck, that reveals the cause of his death. He was just a little kid, barely 14 years old in the last full moon. But the Shifters realm don't care. He is rogue, so he is deemed dangerous, violent, to be slaughtered without mercy. I rub my hands under my eyes, my muscles aching, but I refuse to rest. I have to make the rounds. See all my people. Let them know that there is hope. Even though sometimes I wonder if there is. The shadows around me darken as they match my thoughts. We were raided againIt never stops. It's not enough that we've been banished into the forest. The pack shifters have to remind us of what we are-outlaws that don't deserve any pity. A slaughterhouse to be picked from when they want to go on their justice kil

Aria"Grandmother, he killed an innocent man." I flare my hands in frustration. Why does nobody understand this? A man who saved my life was just brutally murdered, and my grandmother acts like it's just another day in the Flynn pack. "Don't be silly, Aria. He was a rogue. You don't understand how violent they can be!" She answers back firmly. What I don't understand is how my grandmother can consent to such cruelty. All my life, I've been sheltered and protected. Kept from any harm. I never even knew rogues could come in here. I know a rogue killed my parents when I was too little to understand what had been going on, but grandmother raised me to care, to show compassion. She's always claimed that's the role of a Luna, so why is she ignoring all her teachings to justify unlawful death? "I can't believe you. And Cassius had no right! He attacked the Flynn pack. He was with me!" I yell back without thinking, and I hear the sound before I process what she's done. The fo

AriaIt's dark in here, and it smells like rotten corpse. I don't know how I'm sure of this, but I'm sure somebody died in here, I just hope I don't end up like they did. My eyes are bound by a dark clothe, and my hands and feet are tied behind me. I contemplate calling for help, but I can't find my voice. "I'm scared, mother. I don't think we should do this. What if it's all a lie?" A small voice sounds very close to me, and I release an exhale. Someone that can help me. "Everyone must play their part, child." A dry voice responds. My skin prickles when I hear the voice. There's something dark, and sinister about it. "You have already been sentenced to death, mother. How do you think the Alpha would react if he discovers this?" The voice persists. Alpha? Are they talking about Cassius? If Cassius is here, maybe he can help me. Unbridled tears sting at the corners of my eyes. Where am I? Where is Piper? Oh, Goddesses! Piper! I hope she's alive. I won't be able

Aria(Back in the present.) They are all staring at me. Whispering, pointing. "She has no scent," I can hear them muttering under their breaths. A shifter without her scent is no shifter at all. "Pi-Piper?" I whisper shakily. My best friend has her arms wrapped around Cassius-my mate-her grip is possessive around him. How can she do this to me? How is this even possible? She scoffs. "What happened to you, Aria? Aren't you the supposed Luna of the Shifters realm? Where is your wolf?" I can hear the mockery in her words. She doesn't care that I'm too weak to stand. Or that my own pack members don't recognize me. "Piper, please. Help me." I whisper.I'm still weak from what happened when I was taken away. I don't remember how I got here except for a man draped in shadows who carried me. I thought I would be safe in my pack, but I was wrong."Aria, you know the pack rules. What kind of wolf doesn't have her wolf? It would be a mercy to banish you to the rogues." Her words s

AriaA mate to a rogue..."No."He looks surprised, and I doubt my words. My voice is scratchy, and tears have dried in my eyes so much, it's hard to see."No?" He asks.I nod. "I can't do it. I'm-I'm sorry. I want to get revenge on the monsters who killed my grandmother, but I-I just can't."Why can't I?Because in a way it feels like I'm tainting my grandmother's memory.I am Aria Flynn, the last direct blood of the Flynn pack.But most importantly, I am Luna Flynn's granddaughter. My grandmother would turn in her grave if she knew I was even talking to a rogue.And a mate to the rogue King?"You want to go back to that pack? The one who wants you dead?" Disbelief coats his tone.Why does he care anyway? It's not like he's worried about me.He just wants to use me, like Piper used me, like everyone who just wants me when I'm the supposed future Luna, but wants me dead when I'm not.I'm disposable to all of them."I can talk to them. They're being deceived by Piper. She-" I pause, re

Scent of Betrayal The Massacre
Aria There's something my grandmother always tells me-Aria, being a Luna isn't all you're meant to be. The first time she said this, it was because I had lashed out at her, complaining about going for my Luna training. In my words, "my life isn't just made to be a Luna. I'm a person too, grandmother." Ironically, I wanted to escape my duties to hang out with Piper, and learning to be a Luna felt too stifling anyway. It isn't like some people don't get thrown into the position, and have to work with what they have. That is a natural possibility. Grandmother was just someone who didn't like being thrown into things. She always believed we must take our stand for what we wanted-that was the way of the Flynn women. A long standing line of strong Luna's, who had ruled beside equally strong alphas. Her words that day had been, "it isn't all you're meant to be, but it's a great honor, and something you should not take for granted." Then she'd taken me outside, "Look at
Scent of Betrayal The Dungeon
Aria The smell of body waste is the first thing that greets me when I realize where Piper has brought me. There are a few torches burning about. But none of them seems to shed much light; it is as though they are empty, sullen things. "No," my voice is a broken whisper, and I take a retreating step back. I won't let her lock me up in here. She'll have to kill me first. There is no way. People don't come out of places like this. I know a few people grandmother has sent here, and I don't think a lot of them are part of the living now. This is a place for criminals, the worst kind of people. The people who have committed crimes considered unthinkable. I haven't done anything! Why is she doing this to me? Why? What did I ever do to her? I loved her. I cared for her. She was a sister to me-my grandmother's second daughter. The girl I've always looked up to, and listened to, and now she's turned into this. This monster who wants to drag me through hell, and laugh in my face. E
Scent of Betrayal The Insider
Kaidën The dungeon has dark dim walls that don't allow any light to come in. Anyone trapped in here would lose a sense of time. It's like being trapped in perpetual darkness. Only the most horrible crimes deserve that. Surprisingly, the woman who kidnapped my supposed mate and Luna isn't locked in here. Her crime is worthy of it-no doubt, but she's not just a common criminal. No matter what, I have to remember that she's Eliana Greenleaf too. The daughter my father never had. The girl I grew up with in this place where family is a fleeting memory. In a separate cell, not too far from the dungeon is where I have Eliana locked up. Because whether she's like family to me or not, it doesn't excuse the crime she committed against her Luna. And that's where I see her-her mass of familiar dark hair falling over her face, as she holds her head down. Her hands are bound by chains connected to opposite ends of the wall. When I arrive in front of the cell, she doesn't rea
Scent of Betrayal The Plans
Aria "Get up!" Someone roughly drags me up as I groggily look around me in confusion. Where am I? For a moment, I'm deeply confused on my location, as everything around me doesn't exactly look familiar. "Bring her with me." Piper's force jolts a feeling of familiarity in me. Yes, I followed Piper and Cassius back to the pack shifters realm. I wince when I remember that I'd passed out after Piper ordered that man to hit me repeatedly. As if she knows I'm thinking about it, Piper gives me a smug dark look, and folds her hands over her chest. "Don't expect any warm welcome. The people still hate you for touching their Luna, and the ones who don't..." She trails off with the most vicious look a person can muster. I manage to look up at her, slightly worried for what she might say. It's no surprise that members of the pack still want me dead, but the ones who don't? I don't believe those even exist. Piper finally turns her back to me before she continues. "The members of the Fl
Scent of Betrayal The Shadows He Gives
Kaidën "Kaidën," the voice is like a breath in the wind. Aria. She's calling out to me. I can feel it in my bones. The pain she's feeling, her jumbled emotions. The way she's trying to breathe in roughly, but barely. I want to reach out to her, and hold her, but deep down I know I can't. Something is holding me back-my present self. Because it knows we're far from each other. Around me is what looks like a room covered in white walls, and I turn around, taking in this environment in front of me. My eyes widen when I notice the blackness creeping up onto the walls. Like flames spreading over a house on fire. The black shadows fill up the entire space of the room, until the once white room doesn't exist anymore. It's all just darkness. "Kaidën," I see a tear drop. No, it's not a tear drop. It's blood. My veins throb painfully. And it feels like someone has hit me. My knees drop to the ground forcefully when I feel the blow again. It happens again, and again, and again. U
Scent of Betrayal The Reason
Aria The ride to the pack shifters realm is oddly calming, and quiet. No one says a word to me, not even Piper who's not taken her eyes off me since we started moving. The barrow-like truck I'm inside jiggles a few times, and when it does, my body is aggressively thrown to the side. During these times, Piper's face darkens with a small smile, and her mood gets lighter. She's clearly glad to see me suffering. I want to glare at her, but the force keeping me sane has decided to force a serene and calm look on my face. I can feel the flickering movement inside me, as the truck moves. It trails from my finger tips, and doesn't stop till I can feel it wrap around my slim neck, and flicker all the way to my nose. The tickling sensation nearly forces a giggle out of me, but I sneeze instead. "Stay quiet, Wench!" Piper spits at me in annoyance, and I only stare at her oddly. Ever since I found out what a lying conniving person my best friend is, I've always wondered just one thing.
Scent of Betrayal The Caged Bird
Piper I almost want to laugh at the spectacle in front of me, even I'm not so pissed. Aria is clutching her chest, as she screams, and takes quick steps backward. All her false bravado is gone, I guess. I knew that fake bravery was a sham. The cut of the blade Kaidën held at my throat still stings slightly, and I grit my teeth at the memory. Why is he so protective of her? And why am I even angry? It's not like I care what the worthless rogue king does. As far as I'm concerned, he's nothing to me. The mate bond we had was just a senseless farce I had to get rid off, and I won't deny, I've been living the best life ever since I got rid of it. In fact, I'll be fine never seeing either of these miserable people's faces in front of me, but for some reason, Cassius wants me to bring Aria back. I don't know what he wants with her, but as his Luna, he's never failed to do whatever I've asked of him, so what's this little thing I can't do? Especially if it's for the man I love. C
