AEGIS'S P.O.V

Sta. Stah. Stah. Stahh. Ztahh. Ztahh. Ztahhg.

I snapped the rubber haur band against my wrist over and over again. Each time harder and harder. I need to feel. I need to feel. My mind echoed " Feel, Feel," with each sharp sting echoing through the silence of my room. It wasn’t enough. I snapped it again. And again. Each time, the elastic dug deeper into my skin and left welts that darkened and split. My breathing was steady, but my thoughts were mumbled and chaos.

Had I become a monster? So much of a monster that Zach thought I’d kill his mate? I stared at the bruises forming on my wrist, the faint line of blood seeping through one of the deeper cuts. My mind replayed the moment over and over. Zach’s wild eyes. His stance. His words: He thought I would hurt her. He thought I was ruthless enough to kill his mate. Snap. The band dug deeper.

A knock on my door pulled me out. “Come in.”

Noah stepped inside holding a stack of papers. He glanced at me then at my wrist. He kn

    Aegis's P.O.VShe cut their neck off right at the jugular vein. And from the way she was looking at me, I was next. How the hell did Brianna talk me into this? "You need to be seen,” she'd said, smiling so sweetly. I took in a spoon of the lasagna in front of me. “You’re our Alpha, Aegis. You’ve got power and presence but no one’s going to know that if you continue hiding in the shadows. Let the world see the Poison Rose. Let them see why they should fear you.”I took in another spoon. That sounded reasonable, it was making sense until she added, “Besides, there’ll be handsome Alphas at the ball. Maybe even the King himself.” I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. I'm not searching for a man, a mate, or any of it. What I wanted was to be left alone. But Brianna was like a storm, relentless, unavoidable and absolutely impossible to fight without getting drenched. I successfully avoided her the entire week but now here I was sitting at the dining table, cornered. How she expected my

    Aegis's P.O.VHow is it that I know every torture that ever existed but never discovered this one?.These shoes were death traps. Five-inch, pencil-thin, ankle-breaking, toe-pinching, nightmare inducing torture devices. I have fought in wars, ripped out throats, and faced down entire rogue packs but somehow, these damn heels might be my greatest enemy yet. I muttered a curse, shifting uncomfortably as I walked out of the black van we came in. Noah, ever the observant one, smirked. “Something wrong, Alpha?” I shot him a look.“If I trip and die tonight, tell Brianna she's responsible for my death .” Noah chuckled. “Noted. Should I also let the King know he’ll need a new special guest?” “You do that, and I’ll haunt you.” Talia who's currently fixing the last few details of my dress, grinned. “You look good in heels, Alpha.” I scoffed. “I look like a baby deer learning to walk.” Noah nodded. “Yeah, but a hot baby deer.” I jabbed him in the ribs with my elbow, making him grunt.

    King Damien's P.O.V“She’s deadly, no doubt.” “But he is insanity itself.” The voices murmured in the corners of the grand ballroom, just beyond the golden-lit chandeliers and polished marble floors. They spoke in hushed tones, stolen whispers exchanged like secrets laced with fear. King Damien. The Insanity. The man who had bathed the throne in blood. And now--The Poison Rose. A woman just as ruthless, just as untouchable. Some said she had been carved from the same darkness as him. “They say she wiped out an entire rogue faction by herself.” “They say he crushed an Alpha’s skull with his bare hands.” Silence. Then, softer... “If they ever stood against each other…” A pause. “No one would survive.” Damien heard them. Every word. He didn’t slow his steps. Didn’t even glance in their direction as he passed, his heavy black cloak trailing behind him. He hated this place. The wolves. The way they bowed, the way their voices dripped with false loyalty. They feared him, as they shoul

    (Aegis's Point Of View).Never ever let your outgoing sister plan you a birthday party because chances were You would be alone. She would be nowhere to be found.You would be alone.There was nothing wrong with the party except for one giant fact-- it was a PARTY. The black speakers in the corner blasted a pop song I had never heard before leaving in it wake a reverberating thud. The stench of alcohol and musty scent horny teenagers was thickened the air . A tall lanky boy stood on a table , shirtless and attempting to do a remake of magic mike except this version by himself. It was horrible but his audience of drunk teenage fan girls didn’t seem to mind, their delightful shrieks going on and beyond to give me an headache. And Vela was still nowhere to be found.And here I was, the birthday girl, standing right in the middle of the chaos in my obviously borrowed pink dress, sporting a cup of chocolate and a tense smile. My mother stood across the hall beside the scattered food platte

    (Aegis's Point Of View).One good thing came out from this night. Okay that was a lie, this night was a disaster. i had an headache and it was killing me.But it did get me out of the birthday dinner early so It is a good thing. I came to a giant revelation today. Vela had a very annoying voice.I knew her vice was uncomfortable to the ears but hearing her yap on and on with her french manicured hand holding my mate; I barely made it through the party without my wolf shifting and killing her. She just kept yapping on on about everything.. Changing my dress into a sweatpants and matching crop_top, I sighed in satisfaction. My phone pinged repeatedly but right now I could care less. It was probably some of my followers on Tiktok wishing me a happy birthday. I downed a couple of painkillers and padded to the bathroom in my yellow and black Winnie the pooh slippers to wash my face. No point taking a shower, I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.Angel ran across the room c

    (Aegis's Point Of View).Three hours into dinner and I was already planning murder. I was planning the murder of my dearly beloved sister. But that was besides the point.He was ignoring me. After last night I assumed that we would be closer. If I didn’t know better I would have thought all that happened last night just a dream.The pain and roughness between my legs that accompanied every step I took as I walked assured me otherwise.We were having dinner with the Alpha's family.The unusual absence of the Alpha and Luna made the already horrible day take an even depressing turn.We’d been attending this dinner since we were children.The dinner was a customary tradition between the Alphas family and their Betas. As little children, whenever the dinner began to lose our interest we would always sneak outside to play. We were a formidable force, all three of us, Elias the prankster, I the tomboy and Vela the princess and baby of the group. We were a close knit group forced together by

    Tears built in my eyes and I took a shaky breath in. This can't be true. It couldn't be. They were just friends. Sure Shelia had a crush on him but he didn't return her feelings . He couldn't. He was my mate. He was mine and I was his. Why would they go through with knowing they had not yet met their mated. Why would Elias agree to this?I lifted my gaze from the box and to Shelia's expectant smile. I trailed my gaze from her face to Elias's ,he avoided looking back to me. His jaw clenched so tight, he could have cracked his teeth as he looked to the side. Why?He couldn't really be going through with this. He couldn't be doing this to me. My wolf howled painfully within me showing her rage and heartache at the way things were unfolding.My parents oblivious to what was going on, got up from their seats to look at what my sister had gifted me. Once they saw the words inscribed on the envelope, they smiled at each other and joyfully hugged my sister. They bombarded her with words I co

    (Aegis's Point Of View)."Aegis"My head whipped around instantly locking with green eyes.All the air me knocked out of me just at the sight of him, his built muscular body tense from emotions. I straightened up immediately. No matter how horrible or awkward I felt right now, it was better to be composed.“ We need to talk"I nodded my head. All sorts of thoughts ran through my mind. He took in a deep breath, released it before moving away from the door way to let my parents and Shelia into the room. I turned to Elias in question “What was going on here? Had he told her?.His focus was on my sister who slipped her hand into his, unable to meet my eyes. She bit her bottom lip staring at the floor.Mother and Father entered with grim expressions on their faces glaring at me in.... Contempt?Finally Elias looked up at me. Jaw twitching and muscles taut he tightened his hold on Velma.The tighter he held on to her, the tighter my lungs felt and the harder it was to breathe." This i

    "Get Up Now."The most high-pitched and panicked scream I've ever heard ripped through the house, I bolted from my office ready to fight. I raced into the kitchen, expecting to see blood, someone dying, an intruder---anything but the three men frozen in place jointly staring at a spot on the floor.Ladies and Gentlemen, My Council."What is it?” I demanded. Noah, Zach, and Emery turned to me with wide eyes pale faces. Noah pointed a shaking finger toward the counter. “A spider,” he whispered. I stared at them. Three of the strongest wolves I’d ever met and personally trained, standing like children in front of a bug. A Beta, Gamma and Delta to be exact.“A spider?” I repeated incredulously. “It’s huge,” Zach said defensively, as if that excused the situation. I looked at the tiny creature crawling across the countertop. “You want me to kill it?”“Please,” Emery begged. I crossed my arms. “None of you can do it?” They all shook their heads. “You’re supposed to be warriors,” I deadpan.

    AEGIS'S P.O.V“Combatants, Please step forward!” the referee’s voice rang loud and clear.I stepped into the arena slowly and deliberatey. Mikeal swaggered in across me with a wide, arrogant smirk. The crowd roared excitedly amidst the tension of the environment.“This is a fight for the position of Alpha,” the referee announced. “This battle ends only in death or submission. Fighters, are you ready?” I nodded once silently. I'll do all it takes to not kill the boy. I might not like him but no one deserves to die for their foolishness. I did and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.Mikeal sneered, flexing his muscles for the crowd. A few girls shrieked and screamed but the older ones were quiet, understanding the consequence of electing Mikeal as Alpha.“I was born ready.” The referee raised his hand. “Begin!” Mikeal lunged at me without any hesitation, his fists swinging wildly. I sidestepped him easily, making him stumble forward. “Running already, huh?” he taunted, spinning back

    AEGIS'S P.O.V"You're a disgrace to the Alpha title." Mikeal’s voice dripped with arrogance as he leaned back in his chair smugly.The tension in the room was unbearable for everybody but Alpha Brianna didn’t flinch."Mikeal might I remind you that this is a pack border meeting." She smiled, very calm, composed and far too collected for my liking. He wasn’t done.“A woman Alpha? You’ve tarnished the position. Don’t worry, though. I’ll clean up your mess when it’s mine. I’ll show this pack what a real Alpha looks like.”Brianna tilted her head, her voice smooth as silk. “I've been Alpha before you were even born Mikeal but please enlighten me, what exactly does that look like, Mikeal? And who are you to even judge? A man who’s already caused atrocities before even earning the title?” Mikeal's smirk faltered.“What are you talking about?”“I’m talking about the thirteen girls you’ve impregnated,” Brianna said, her tone light but lethal. “Three of them forced into abortions.

    Third Person's P.O. V“Where is she?” Alpha Brianna’s voice cut through the room like a blade. The tension was thick. The air around them was suddenly hard to breathe. They didn't have to think twice to know exactly who she was asking of. Noah, Zach, and Emery stood awkwardly,gazes fixed on the ground. Danny’s hands clenched at his sides with guilt written all over his face."I know I'm not talking to a bunch of deaf people. ANSWER ME." “We... we don’t know, Alpha,” Noah stammered.“You don’t know?” Brianna’s eyes blazed with fury. “The woman who you claimed saved your lives is gone, and you just let it happen?”“She told us to go,” Danny said quietly. “She gave herself up so we could escape.” “She’s our hero,” Kara murmured in a bid to try to soften the tension but it only made Brianna angrier. “A hero?” Brianna’s fist slammed onto the table hard. “A hero you left behind? You’re supposed to be wolves. Wolves protect their own!” “We couldn’t fight them,” Zach blurted out, his vo

Five adults and Eight children.I turned my head to the short woman on my left. Kara. The beta's girlfriend."Pardon?"" The tatoo on your shoulder. What does it mean? I didn’t respond. I didn't know how to. How do I explain that it's not a tattoo per say, it just appeared out of nowhere one day."Come on, Aegis," Emery chimed in, his tone dripping with fake curiosity. "It’s an ugly thing. Just like you." Noah snorted."She’s not going to answer you Kara. She thinks she’s better than us." I kept walking, my eyes fixed ahead. Their words slid over me like ice. It wasn’t the first time, and it wouldn’t be the last. "Hey!" Zach stepped in front of me, successfully blocking my path. "Are you deaf or something? We’re talking to you!" I looked at him then, my expression blank. His smug grin faltered
