Aria's pov I 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 turned golden and my claws protruded. I was ready for the fight and with Vixen, I got a fighting chance “Calm down little wolf” a voice came from the dark “Who are you and what do you want?” I asked still in my fighting stance. “I’m a friend, Aria” the voice said again “If you are a friend then you won’t hide. Show me your face”. I challenged the voice, it went silent for a few seconds and I saw the bushes move, creating a path as the person emerged from the darkness. A man stood before, his late twenties probably. He was tall and muscular, he wore an all black attire and a black fur cape. “How are you, Aria” he greeted with a smile “Who are you and how do you know my name?” I asked still in my fighting posture not giving him a chance to catch me slipping. “Oh Aria. Everyone knows who you are!” He said as he walked slowly to me “Don’t move close to me.” He Smiled and kept walking, he walked past me and stood by the beach. “You are bold, I love that” he said as he stare out to the water “I’m not going to ask again, who are you?” I asked fiercely “I’m Darius” he looked at me with a side eye and my mouth dropped in surprise. Darius was a rogue Alpha, whose mate betrayed him like Karl did to her. He rained down hell on different packs who dared to cross him. He spread fear anywhere his name is mentioned. His nickname ‘The black death’ describes how his wolf is, black and deadly. Fear gripped me, I couldn’t fend him off by myself. A lot of people tried and they met a glorious exit. “Don’t be scared, Aria. I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to help you” he said to me “Help me?” I asked in confusion and he nodded, “how?” “I have been watching you since you got rejected by your mate. I have seen how you’ve been treated by your family and your pack. I can see how you burn for revenge Aria and I can help you with that” he said in one breath “Can you help me get revenge?” I asked him and he smirked “What do you get in return?” I asked him again “Nothing but you would have to follow me. I can train you Aria to reach your full potential. I have seen you fight, your wolf is not just an ordinary one, I can sense it. She might be weak but not for long. I can help you come to your full potential” he turned to face me “I can’t leave the pack, it would make me a rogue” I replied to him “Aria you really want to stay in a pack where you are not accepted? Where you get treated like trash?” He asked me as he closed the gap between us. I looked at him in a dilemma. I don’t know him well enough to leave everything and follow him. “I know you are conflicted and you don’t trust me. I will be at the border by 12 midnight tomorrow if you are still interested in my offer. Aria you can be so much more than you think” he then walked past me into the forest. I looked on as I stared into the place he disappeared through. “I should best get going,” I said to myself. I picked up my things and walked back to the pack. —— I got home and the time was past 9. The house was empty with no sign of anyone being home. “Where could they have possibly gone?” I asked myself “Shit, the Alpha’s announcement” I immediately ran out and ran as fast as my legs could carry me to the town hall. When I got there I pushed the door open and everyone turned to look at me. Embarrassed, I dropped my head down and slipped into the side. I could see my family seated, with their perfect daughter not bothered about me. As I was about to walk towards them, vixen started to act up. She was reacting to her mate, she wanted him. When I looked up my eyes met with the Alpha’s. He glared at me obviously hating the fact that the mate bond was affecting him too. He ignored me and began his speech. “Good evening silver claw. I won’t keep y’all waiting and I would go straight to why we are here. Yesterday, the moon goddess revealed my mate to me and as you all know is someone who is not fit to be the Luna of how dear pack. She is not someone who has what it takes to lead a pack and therefore I must reject this gift from the goddess.” The pack whispered “Don’t fret because the moon's goodness is also giving us the power of choice. I am here to let you all know who my handpicked Luna would be.” He paused and stared at the crowd “My mate and your new Luna is no other than Diamond Moon” he said and my heart dropped to my stomach My sister?? Diamond stood up as the hall was filled with claps and shouts of Joy. She waved to the crowd and gave her best smile. “This is my chosen mate” he said to everyone, “Aria moon please step to the podium” he said and all eyes turned to me. I walked to the podium as shame gripped me “I am going to reject you formally in front of the oracle of the moon goodness” he said and I bowed my head in shame as tears roll down my eyes “I Alpha Kael, reject you forever as my mate” he said and I felt the bond snap into two. I held my chest as I was not able to breath well. I couldn’t take it any longer, I looked him in his eyes, my eyes filled with rage and tears. “You are going to regret this, mark my words” i said it and bolted out of the hall

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 POVI sat alone in my room which was given to me by Darius. I have been here for three days now and I still feel like my world has been tumbled.Darius had been keeping me updated about the happenings in our pack and today was the day of the mating rite.How and why Kael was getting married to my sister, I had no idea. If it was someone else the love of pain would have been minimal but this was my sister, my blood.The betrayal!After I left, I was not accounted for or reported as a missing person but my parents kept telling everyone that I had been sent to my aunt’s house.The lies!I stood up and walked to the balcony, where I could see almost all of Darius’s rouge pack. It was not much but the Black Death was someone who people feared and I wanted that.I wanted people to fear me and I would start with Kael before I move on to my parents. I will make them all pay! They would bow down to me as I ruled over them all.“Ahem….” I heard someone clearing their voice behind me.I 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

Diamond’s Pov“Luna!”“Luna”This is what I wanted. Moving through the palace and everywhere I turn is someone who would be bowing down just to acknowledge my presence.The mating rites have been over for days and I have been assigned to my duties as Luna and I do them with pride on my shoulders.Kael and I have not seen each other for the past few days and I did not want to see him or accidentally run into him.I moved to the garden, I needed to relax and the garden was where I wanted to do that.“Luna!” my personal maid walked up to me.“Speak!” I said“Hmm…the garden has been made use of.”“By whom?” My eyebrows went up in question.“By the princess.”“Then let her know that I am in need of it.”“I did that already, but she was adamant.”I clenched my fist as I could feel the anger pulsating through my veins. I increased my speed to the garden. I won’t let anyone undermine my authority no matter who it is—even if she is the Alpha sister.I got to the garden and saw the little build

Kael’s POVThe moment Diamond entered the throne room, I could feel her tension radiating like a storm ready to break. Her usual air of arrogance seemed to waver, replaced by a subtle unease. I kept my expression calm, masking the chaos that brewed within me.“Luna,” I greeted, my voice steady. “Thank you for coming.”She approached cautiously, her eyes narrowing. “What is it you want, Kael? Why the secrecy?”Before I could answer, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the hall, sharp against the silence. My instincts kicked in, and I turned toward the door, every sense heightened.The figure that emerged from the shadows stopped me cold.Darius.His dark eyes locked on me, his presence commanding as always. The man exuded an aura of danger, a rogue leader who thrived in chaos. The very man I’d hoped to keep far from this kingdom.“Darius,” I said, my tone even but edged with suspicion. “What brings you to my throne room in the dead of night?”He stepped forward, his movements

The air was thick with the scent of burning wood from the fireplace, but there was no warmth here.Voices drifted from the sitting room, the sound of laughter and clinking glasses making my stomach twist.They were celebrating.The th

Diamond’s POV The grand chamber’s doors slammed shut behind Aria, and I remained frozen in place, my nails digging into my palms. The council’s verdict rang in my ears like a cruel joke. She was leaving……..For good this time. No longer bound by the Silver Claw Pack. No longer tied to Kael. No longer within my reach. I should be happy but I am not. I have always hated my sister and I would do anything to make sure is not happy. I clenched my jaw as I turned to Kael, who still sat in his chair, his golden eyes fixed on the spot where Aria had stood. His expression was unreadable, but I knew him well enough to sense the tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers drummed against the armrest—a telltale sign of his frustration. “She’s actually getting away with this?” I spat, my voice sharp with disbelief. Kael exhaled slowly, standing up from his seat. “She won’t be our problem anymore.” I let out a bitter laugh. “That’s exactly the problem, Kael.” I stalked toward him, my fis

Aria’s POVThe silence in the grand chamber was suffocating. Every breath felt like a struggle as I stood in the center of the room, waiting for the council’s verdict. Darius remained by my side, his presence a silent pillar of support, but I could sense his tension mirroring my own.Across from me, Kael sat with a composed expression, his golden eyes watching me like a predator stalking its prey. I clenched my fists, refusing to let him see even a sliver of weakness.The lead elder, the woman with piercing green eyes, finally looked up from the whispered deliberations among the council members. “Lady Aria, the council has come to a decision.”I held my breath.She continued, her tone measured. “While your departure was in violation of pack law, we recognize the circumstances that led to your actions. A rejection, especially a public one, is a heavy burden to bear, and we acknowledge that Alpha Kael’s decision played a significant role in your exile.”Kael stiffened slightly at the el

Aria’s POVI clenched my fists so tightly my nails bit into my palms. The air in Kael’s office felt thick, suffocating, as if it carried the weight of our past—of every moment he had crushed me beneath his arrogance.“You’re just following the law?” I scoffed, stepping closer to his desk. “That’s rich coming from the same man who broke the most sacred bond in our world or do you not remember rejecting me in front of the entire pack?”Kael’s lips curved into a smirk, but I caught the way his fingers tightened around his pen. “And yet, here you are, standing in my office, looking like you’re ready to tear my head off.” He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “I think we both know I still hold power over you, Aria.”His words sent a surge of fury through me. I slammed my hands on his desk, making the papers flutter. “You don’t hold anything over me—-Not anymore.” My voice was low, dangerous.“I have a pack now—a real pack, where I’m valued. And you will not keep me here against m

Aria’s povThe day to leave this horrible pack that rejected me finally came. The lack that never made me feel like I was at home.I came back to see if my parents at least missed me and after stalking their house for a day, I was convinced that they didn't.I couldn't care less, though. I was happy at the rouge pack and now that it had become a real pack—it was much better.Those people are my family.I packed as I hummed a tone feeling happier than I should.I heard a knock on the door, making me pause, “Come in.” I replied.The door opened and Darius walked in.Damn, this man is fine! But the first thing I noticed is that he had his royal regalia on and he never does that.“Darius, Good morning. Are we all set to leave? Am I the one who is delaying? Shit, I'm sorry, I will soon be done packing.” I mumbled trying to apologize for the mistake.I turned to continue what I. was doing when the next words he said stopped me in my tracks.“We…we are not leaving today.” Darius said.I turn

Darius’s POVThe throne room was still filled with murmurs and tense whispers as the council deliberated over Kael’s accusation. I could feel the weight of every gaze in the room pressing down on me, waiting for my response. But I wasn’t rattled. If Kael thought he could use some old law to take Aria away, he was in for a rude awakening.Elder Taffy raised her hand, demanding silence once more. “Alpha Kael, since you have raised this concern, the council will require substantial evidence to support your claim. Do you have documentation or witnesses who can confirm that Aria Moon was still a member of your pack at the time she left?”Kael smirked, his confidence unwavering. “I do.” He turned his head slightly. “Bring him in.”A moment later, a man I recognized all too well strode into the room—Don, Kael’s Beta. He was a slim but tall man, I knew that whatever he was about to say would be twisted in Kael’s favor.Elder Taffy gestured for him to step forward. “State your name and rank.”
THE ROGUE LUNA Chapter 26
Darius PovToday was the day I faced the council and heard their conclusion on the petition I submitted last two days——to make Rouge pack a legal pack.I dressed up in my normal day to day wear which consisted of black pants, white long sleeve shirt with the sleeves folded up and two buttons undone. My hair was a little messy but that’s how I liked it.Ever since the party when Kael and Diamond figured out that Paige is Aria, I had kept a close eye on her.Today she was out of the castle with Ellen, Kael’s sister and her friend Selene. She had removed her blonde wig and contact lens.I did not want to intrude in her day so I had a guard secretly watch over her.There was a knock heard in the door to my room.“Come in, Ryker.”He pushed the door, “Great, you are ready. Let’s go!”I looked at Ryker with my eyebrows up, “Is the council ready?” I asked and he nodded.“Good let’s go make our pack official.” I picked up my crown and placed it on my head before walking out of the room.The w

Aria’s POVAs the car hummed softly beneath us, I traced my fingers over the delicate locket Ellen had given me. It was beautiful—ornate, yet simple. A reminder of a past I had tried so hard to bury.“Are you sure you want me to have this?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Ellen smiled, her gaze warm. “Of course. You might have left, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped caring about you.”I swallowed hard, emotions threatening to bubble over. It was strange. I had spent years believing that no one in this pack had ever truly cared about me. That I was nothing more than an outcast, a burden. And yet, here Ellen and Selene were, showing me kindness I had never expected.Selene reached over from the front seat, placing a comforting hand on mine. “You deserved better back then, Aria. We can’t change the past, but… maybe we can change the future.”I let out a breath, nodding slightly. “Maybe.”The mood in the car shifted as Ellen clapped her hands together, breaking the moment of t

Aria’s povI sat on my dressing table as I removed all the disguise I wore—it was of no use to me.My secret is out in the open.We still had one more day to be here and that was when Darius would plead his case to turn the rouge pack to a legal pack.Diamond and I had gotten into an altercation and I knew she wouldn't let it down so easily but I was ready for them.I was not as weak as they knew the first time I left the pack.I wore a black pants, paired with a blue crop top and a black jacket. My hair flowed down my back with blue sneakers on my feet.I looked at myself in the mirror, satisfied about what was looking back at me.“Time to go explore the pack that I had left.”I picked up my little purse and headed out.As I walked down the staircase, I heard someone calling my name.“Aria! Aria!”I turned to see princess Ellen and Selene walking towards me.They had on a semi formal dress. A sundress, black heels, their hair up in a sleek back ponytail and tiaras on their head indic
