Chapter 1

The Unwanted Bond

Aria’s pov

I stood at the edge of the clearing, my heart racing with anticipation. The sounds of the pack surrounded me - excited whispers, restless wolves, and the crackling bonfire that illuminated the darkening sky. It was the night of the Mating Ceremony, and the air was electric with expectation. Wolves of all ranks had gathered to see who would find their fated mate tonight. I was torn between fleeing and standing frozen in place, unsure of what the night held.

I clenched my fists, trying to hide my nerves. I told myself it was ridiculous; I'd been to Mating Ceremonies before and nothing had ever happened. My wolf hadn't felt the strong pull that signaled finding a mate. Yet, a small, fragile part of me hoped that tonight would be different.

My gaze drifted to the center of the clearing where Kael Blackwood, the Alpha of the Silverclaw Pack, stood tall and fierce. He radiated authority, his wide shoulders and proud stance making it clear that he turned into every bit of a leader. His piercing gray eyes swept over the crowd, never lingering on one wolf for too long. An air of detachment surrounded him, a chill that sent a shiver down my spine. Yet, as I gazed at him, it wasn't fear that I felt.

It turned into longing.

I had always admired the Alpha from a distance, though he barely acknowledged my existence. He embodied everything a she wolf could want in a mate- powerful, relentless, and feared. He led the Silverclaw Pack with unwavering strength, yet remained emotionally closed off, as if no one could ever get close enough to see the man behind the title. Despite this, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be chosen by him, to stand by his side as his mate.

But it became a silly delusion, one I attempted to bury. The Alpha's mate was expected to be someone who could match his power, someone who could navigate the complex world of pack politics. I was none of those things. I was just a quiet, unremarkable wolf in the pack, known more for my loyalty than for any particular talent or ambition. I wasn't even close to being someone worthy of an Alpha's attention, making me an unlikely candidate to be Kael's mate.

As the ritual began and the wolves gathered in the center of the clearing, my chest tightened with anticipation. The Mating Bond was a mysterious and powerful force, an ancient energy that united certain wolves as mates. Legend had it that when a wolf found their mate, the bond snapped into place, unmistakable and unbreakable, forging an unshakeable connection between them.

I couldn’t help but marvel—what would it be like to experience it?

The moment the rite started out, wolves started out to shift and pass, mingling in the hopes of feeling that magnetic pull of destiny. I however hesitated, staying on the outskirts, no longer trying to make a fool of herself by hoping for something that had by no means happened before in the formal mating rite. But then, something shifted.

A sudden warm temperature spread around my chest, a pull so sturdy that I gasped in marvel. My wolf stirred inside me, alert and restless, as although sensing something just beyond her reach.

My gaze locked onto Kael, and the moment our eyes met, the world seemed to tilt on its axis. It was as if time stood still, and everything else faded into the background. I felt an inexplicable jolt, a spark that ran through my entire being. It was him. The one. My mate.

The Mate Bond struck with incredible force, nearly knocking me off my feet. My breath caught, and my wolf rose to the surface, acknowledging the connection. The bond enveloped me, encircling my heart like an unyielding chain. The intensity was overwhelming - a torrent of emotions, a primal link that blazed through my veins like wildfire. Every fiber of my being was now tied to Kael's, an unbreakable union that left me breathless and bewildered.

Kael's eyes flashed with surprise, but only for an instant. His expression quickly turned cold and dark, his gaze filling with disdain. My heart sank as I saw the rejection in his eyes. He didn't look at me with the joy or wonder I had hoped for. Instead, his face hardened, his voice dripping with ice.

"No."

That single word cut through me like a knife. My heart lurched, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Kael..." I trailed off, unsure of what to say next, my mind reeling from the rejection.

He didn’t let me finish. His eyes swept over me, cold and appraising, as though I were nothing more than a stranger.

“I reject you.”

The words were a knife to my chest, sharp and merciless. The bond that had just formed between us twisted painfully, as if it were being ripped apart before it even had a chance to solidify. My knees threatened to fail, but I forced myself to stand tall, to fight against the wave of rejection that crashed over me. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair, the connection they shared now taunting me with its absence. Every breath hurt, every beat of my heart a reminder of Kael's refusal. I struggled to maintain my composure, to hide the anguish that threatened to consume me.

The crowd around them had fallen right into a shocked silence. All eyes were on Kael and I, watching the Alpha’s cold rejection unfold in actual-time. Kael took every other leap forward, his voice low and full of disdain.

Kael's words cut deeper, his voice dripping with disdain. "You are not worthy to be my mate, Aria. You are weak. Unremarkable. I want a Luna who can stand by my side, someone who can strengthen this pack, not someone who will drag it down."

Each phrase turned into a slap to the face. my throat tightened, however I swallowed the ache, refusing to let the tears fall. The humiliation of being rejected so publicly turned into suffocation, and yet there was not anything I could do. The Alpha’s word was law, and Kael had made his selection.

Kael walked away from me, dismissing me as although I had been not anything, as although the bond that had snapped into place between them didn’t matter at all. I stood frozen, the weight of his rejection pressing down on me like a crushing pressure.

A spark of defiance ignited within me, a flame of determination that flickered to life. The pain still burned, but beneath it, a sense of resilience began to rise.

It wasn’t disappointing. It wasn’t melancholy.

I became angry.

My wolf growled, low and perilous, and My hands curled into fists. How dare he? How dare Kael reject me in front of the pack as though I had been nothing? The bond is probably broken, I stood tall, my eyes flashing with a newfound strength, my heart still heavy but my spirit unbroken. I refused to let Kael's rejection define me, to let him have the power to destroy me.

As the pack resumed the rite as though nothing had happened , I slowly faded away, my chest burning with a fire that hadn’t been there earlier than. I didn’t care about the Mate Bond anymore. I didn’t care about Kael or his cold rejection.

I would upward push above this. And Kael would remorse the day he ever regarded down on me.

As I turned away from the clearing, the weight of Kael's rejection still heavy on my chest, I felt a strange shift in the air. The bond between us, though fractured and painful, still pulsed faintly, a reminder of what could have been. But as I walked deeper into the shadows of the forest, something else stirred within me—a presence I hadn’t noticed before.

My wolf, still restless and agitated, perked up, her ears twitching as if sensing something in the distance. I paused, my breath catching in my throat. The pull wasn’t the same as the Mate Bond with Kael, but it was undeniable—a low, thrumming energy that seemed to call to me from the darkness. My instincts screamed at me to turn back, to return to the safety of the pack, but curiosity—or perhaps defiance—kept me moving forward.

The trees grew thicker, the moonlight barely piercing through the canopy above. My heart pounded as I stepped into a small, secluded glade, the air thick with an ancient, almost primal energy. And then I saw it—a figure standing in the shadows, their silhouette tall and imposing, its presence both unsettling and magnetic.

The person stepped forward, just enough for the moonlight to catch their features, and my breath hitched, I couldn't see the person’s face but It wasn’t anyone I recognized. But the way he looked at me—with a mixture of curiosity and something darker, something dangerous—sent a shiver down my spine.

“You shouldn’t be here,” they said, their voice low and smooth, like velvet over steel. “But now that you are… perhaps it’s fate.”

I took a step back, my wolf growling softly in warning, but the figure only smiled—a slow, predatory smile that made my stomach twist.

“Who are you?” I demanded, my voice trembling despite my efforts to sound strong.

He tilted his head, eyes gleaming with an intensity that made my skin prickle. “Someone who’s been waiting for you, Aria. Someone who knows what you’re truly capable of.”

My FateAria’s povWalking back home with mixed emotions, anger, hate and sadness. All filled up inside me, I needed a way to get out these emotions.“Let’s go for a run” my wolf vixen says, I nodded in agreement. I stepped back and let my wolf take over. Vixen is not a very big wolf, she was all white which was not a usual color. My mum and dad made sure to make me hide it, because we don’t want people to think otherwise.Vixen ran through the forest, deep down to the border, passed it and went to a lake. We laid by the lake, as the calm waters whispered to us. I transformed back, while Vixen retreated to the back of my mind, sad and feeling rejected.“Why did the moon goddess let this happen?” I asked, looking up to the sky.People always talk about how amazing and how good it felt to get a mate. How the bond was the best thing to happen to werefolks but here I am being cast aside like trash with no meaning. I stayed in the lake till the middle of the night, nobody came looking fo

Dealing with the shameAria’s povI left the dining room with a heavy heart. This is not the first time it is happening but this one hit harder. I pushed it back of my mind as I had to leave for work in the flower shop. I got ready and was about to leave, when my sister popped up in my room.“Are you still going to work?” She asked vindictively“Hmm, ya. I get paid to work” i said to her and was about to walk out“You really think you are better than everyone else, don’t you?” She glared at me“No I don’t, Diamond. I just want to get to work” I answered her, trying to pass but once again she blocked my path.“I’m glad Alpha Kael knocked you off your high horse. It was entertaining to see” she chuckled“I’m glad you were entertained. Now if you would excuse me, I would be late for work” I pushed her aside and walked out of the house speedily to avoid any interactions.My house was a little far from the town, so I had to walk for 20 minutes everyday to get to work as I couldn’t afford

Shattered Dreams and Broken SpiritAria's povI ran as fast as my legs could carry me, tears streaming down my face. I couldn't take it anymore - the constant mocking, the rejection, the feeling of being worthless. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair, with no lifeline in sight.I ran into the forest, straight to the only place that did not make me feel like an outcast ‘the lake’. I wept at the shores of the lake for the longest time till I was too weak to shed any more tears. I fell asleep by the shore, embracing the peace the calm water brought.Laying there for God knows how long, I woke up to rustling of leaves. I became on high alert as rogues are known to roam this part of the forest. I listened carefully and could hear the footsteps. I tried to gather how many there were but I could only pick up one heartbeat.“Who’s there?” I asked into the dark forest, “come out before I get you out myself” I threatened.Nobody came out, I immediately brought forth vixen. My eyes tu

AcceptanceAria's povThe second I ran out of the hall, the sector blurred around me. My breath came in ragged gasps, each one more labored than the last. My heart pounded violently in my chest, from both exertion and searing pain. Every step felt like a battle, every inhale a struggle. The mate bond had snapped, and it felt like my very soul had been ripped aside. The bond that once tethered me to Alpha Kael had been severed, leaving me raw and broken.I stumbled blindly through the forest , my body shaking with sobs.“How could he do this to me? How could they do this to me? My sister—my own flesh and blood—had been selected as his Luna, at the same time as I had been rejected and humiliated in front of the complete pack. The bitterness from my heart tasted bitter on my tongue, and my mind spiraled with resentment.For so long, I had tolerated being treated as lesser, even though I didn't deserve it. But now, the accumulated weight of rejection, betrayal, and endless torment crushed

Aria’s POVThe forest seemed darker now, as though it knew the weight of the decision I had just made. The trees loomed over me like silent witnesses, their twisted branches clawing at the moonlit sky. The chill in the air seeped into my bones, but I welcomed it—it was far less cruel than the icy betrayal that had brought me here.Darius walked beside me, his movements confident yet predatory. He didn’t say much as we navigated the winding path through the forest, but I could feel his presence like a storm gathering on the horizon. There was power in him, dark and untamed, and I couldn’t help but wonder if I had just made a deal with the devil.“Where are we going?” I finally asked, my voice cutting through the stillness.“To a place where you’ll learn to become who you were always meant to be,” he replied cryptically. His tone was calm, but there was an edge to it that made my wolf, Vixen, bristle.I bit back a retort and kept walking, my mind racing with questions I wasn’t ready to

Diamond’s POVThis was my dream, my accomplishment! I had managed to beat my sister to the position I had always wanted.As I walked gently through the palace which I was brought for a tour. I could not be happier than I am.“Well, well, if it is not a man hunting female.”I turned to see who it was and standing next to me was Selene and the princess of the pack, Ellen standing before me.I gave a huge smile, “Your highness….” I bowed, trying to pay my respect to her but she glared at me.“What are you doing here?” She asked me“Oh….Kael, my mate, asked me to come over and get familiar with the environment as the mating rites would be in the next full moon which is….next three days.” I responded to her and she had a scowl.“I see…..”“Princess Ellen, it would be lovely to get to know you more, since we would be living together, even if my rank would be higher than yours,” I said to her with a huge grin.She tried to hit me but she was held back by Selene.“Woah, you are very feisty.”

Kael’s povThe door to my office shut behind me with a soft click, muffling the chaos swirling in my mind. Diamond’s voice still echoed in my ears, her words demanding my attention. “Discuss the ceremony.” It was ironic how the Luna position, one of the most revered roles in the pack, had turned into a political game. And here I was, a pawn moving pieces on the board, unsure if I was winning or losing.I sank into my chair, leaning back as I stared at the ceiling. I had fought for this role as Alpha, had sacrificed so much to lead this pack and now, when it came to choosing a Luna, I had made a decision based not on emotion, but on logic. Diamond was intelligent, strong-willed, and ambitious—qualities that would serve the pack well. Yet, as I sat there, I couldn’t help but question whether I had made the right choice.Don’s earlier report about Aria lingered in my thoughts. Aria, with her gentle nature, had always been in the shadows, overshadowed by her sister’s ambition. She didn’t

Aria’s POVThe next morning, I stood in the middle of the training ground, the early morning mist swirling around me. My muscles ached from days of relentless training, but the fire inside me burned brighter. Darius stood before me, his piercing gaze unwavering.“Today’s task,” he began, pacing slowly, “will be the toughest you’ve faced yet. It’s not about speed or strength this time. It’s about your mind and conquering what holds you back.”I furrowed my brow, trying to decipher his words. “What are you talking about?”He stopped and turned to me, his expression dark. “You’ll face your fear of rejection and failure today, Aria. The fear of not being enough.”My chest tightened. Of all the challenges, this was the one I wasn’t prepared for. “And how exactly do you plan to make me do that?” I asked, trying to mask the vulnerability in my voice.Darius’s lips curled into a sly smile. “You’ll see soon enough. Follow me.”I trailed behind him, my nerves twisting into knots. He led me thro
