TORN BETWEEN MATES PASSIONATE RECKONING
Theme: Confrontation and Forgiveness (Aria's POV) I can feel the stress in the air. For Xander and me, the evening was supposed to be a peaceful break from the approaching mayhem. But I know that peace is a long way off while I stand here in front of a trusty buddy. "Your heart is your downfall, Aria!" I cringe automatically as the accusation cuts through me like a knife. With angry eyes, Caleb, a friend I've always depended on, breaks the words. His voice has an edge I've never heard before, and it's unpleasant. "You became blinded by love. It has weakened you.” Weak? My chest trembles as the word repeats itself in my head. Anger seethes beneath my skin as my heart tightens. With my hands clenched at my sides, I take a step forward. Of all people, how could he... doubt my strength? "My heart is my strength!" My voice quivers with feeling as I yell. "Caleb, if only you could understand that. Love is what keeps us living and fighting, not weakness. "Fighting?" Shaking h

Theme: Courage and Renewal (Aria's POV) As Caleb stands in front of us, his face dark and unreadable, my eyes are fixated on his figure while my heart thuds in my chest. There isn't time to process the enormous shock of seeing him again. Both in the sky and inside of me, the storm is approaching. Shadows are spread across the woods as dark clouds roll in, thick and threatening. As though the ground itself felt the impending fight, a low rumble of thunder reverberates in the distance. Tension is high in the air, and a storm is developing both inside and outside of me. A whirlwind of emotions, including confusion, rage, and treachery, accompany Caleb's presence. Above all, though, I sense an immense resolve rising within me. I cannot allow him to shatter me. Not right now. Not after all of the things that Xander and I have battled for. "You thought you could just walk away from me right, didn’t you?" As he approaches, Caleb narrows his eyes and sneers. Something has twiste

Theme: Sorrow and Hope The Weight of Loss (Aria's POV) The smell of rain and blood hangs thick in the air, mixing in a terrible memory of the war we have just survived. In the field I stand frozen; the storm outside has calmed but the storm inside me still simmers. The faces of those we have lost flash before my eyes… friends, allies…gone, just like that. Whispering through the trees, the wind makes an empty sound that only seems to increase my chest's sadness. My heart clenches viciously, and for the first time in a long while, I feel the full weight of the losses we've suffered. The quiet around me is deafening. Xander’s arm wraps around my shoulders, pulling me close. As the weight of it all hits in, I lean against him, and my body trembles. “We couldn’t save them,” I mumble, my words barely audible. “You did everything you could,” Xander whispers, his voice low and comforting. But there’s a touch of sorrow in his comments too, a pain he’s trying to hide. I shak

Theme: Resilience and Unity (Aria’s POV) As Xander and I are left in the wake of Caleb's scary threat, the wind takes the sounds of his taunt as his dark figure disappears into the darkness. Fear permeates every breath I take, and my heart thuds in my chest. But, I will not allow fear to win. Not right now. I get the strength I need to balance myself as Xander's hand tightens around mine. "What does he want, Aria?" There is a look of uncertainty in his eyes, yet his voice is silent and watchful. "I don’t know, but whatever it is, it can’t be good." I shook my head, trying to ignore the fear that Caleb left behind. "He’s playing games, trying to break us." Xander tightens his jaw. "Then we deny him access. Together, we will face this. We've made it through worse." I can feel the storm of feelings beneath the surface, his confidence is comforting. He is worried about the future, about us, and me. I do, however, feel a glimmer of hope as I look into his eyes. We are not alone
Last Updated : 2025-03-31TORN BETWEEN MATES DAWN OF A NEW AGE
Theme: Renewal and Triumph (Aria's POV) Before Xander and I can respond, the first shadowy figure appears from the trees. As more come forward, their bright eyes fixed on us, I wait for some moment. Xander took a defensive stance and stepped in front of me. "Stay behind me," he whispered. But, I don't. Instead, I take a step next to him, my fingers clenched into fists. I'm not going to hide. The intruders' leader, a renegade with a jagged scar across his jaw, advances. His grin is filled with evil intent. He sneers, "You believed you could have peace?" "That you could simply abandon the conflict you initiated?" Xander's mouth clenched. "We do not own the conflict. We are fighting for our future and our people.” The outlaw chuckles. "And what are we doing, in your opinion?" Something about the way his eyes darted to me made my stomach turn. "Your friend has made a change. Her kind of power is not ignored.” I tense up. Even as I utter the words, I know they are false: "I don't
Last Updated : 2025-03-31TORN BETWEEN MATES RISING TIDES
Theme: New Beginnings and Rising Challenges Aria's POV The crisp morning air is suffused with dew and the promise of a new beginning. From the summit of the hill, I can see the settlement below, where the pack is rising with the sun. It should feel like peace and accomplishment. Rather, a strange anxiety grips my chest. The beauty doesn't make my stomach turn even if the horizon is gleaming gently and the sky is colored with morning hues. I try to get rid of the sensation by putting my arms around myself. "Is it possible to feel victorious and unsettled at the same time?" I whisper, almost to myself. Xander's constant steps behind me catch my ear. He comes to me and stands next to me, his warmth comforting, but I see his jaw tight as though he feels it too. With a calm yet inquisitive tone, he asks, "Something on your mind?" I hesitate for a second before biting my lip. "I simply feel that everything is too basic. This quiet, this calmness, after everything we've
Last Updated : 2025-04-01TORN BETWEEN MATES WHISPERS IN THE WIND
Theme: Unease and Paranoia (Aria's POV) I can hear the quiet crackle of the campfire, but I can't feel the warmth. The warning about the rising tide that we got last night has been bugging me ever since. The growing worry in my chest can't be stopped by the calm sounds of our camp being ready for bed. Xander is behind me, gently talking with the leaders, but I’m hardly listening. My thoughts are like a tornado; they spin faster and faster as the minutes go by. The water is getting higher... What may that mean? When I look up, Marcus is there. A shadow moves in front of me. He raises an eyebrow at the sight of me sitting alone, absorbed in my thoughts. Without a word, he settles down next to me, the weight of his presence calming. Marcus has always been a rock of strength, the one person I can rely on to settle me when things seem out of hand. “You’ve got that look again,” Marcus answers, his voice quiet yet playful. I blink and fake a little grin. “What look?” “The one
Last Updated : 2025-04-01TORN BETWEEN MATES THE SEA’S SECRETS
Theme: Revealing Enigmas (Aria's POV) The tent is dimly lit as the dawn slowly breaks. Since last night, Xander and I haven't communicated much. We both know that we can't ignore the uncomfortable stillness between us for very long. Something more significant is involved, something we still don't fully comprehend. The sea is getting higher. I can't get the warning out of my head. It resembles a puzzle with an excessive number of missing pieces. Xander is seated across from me at the large table, and we are surrounded by old maps and manuscripts. He studies another tattered page of what appears to be a faded legend, his brow furrowed. I make an effort to concentrate, but my mind keeps returning to the hushed discussions and the unexplained deaths that washed up. "What did you discover?" I break the silence and inquire at last. Something flickers when Xander's eyes rise to meet mine: worry, possibly even fear. Although he doesn't exhibit it frequently, I've known him long enough

TORN BETWEEN MATES THE LIGHT WITHIN
Aria’s POVThe world shook beneath us. My father, now a spinning storm of darkness, floated above the broken battlefield. His form was no longer human—he was a mass of dark and rage, eyes shining like dying stars. The air was thick with despair, and the ground cracked under the weight of his power. I stood amidst the confusion, my body aching, my magic nearly spent. Xander was asleep beside me, his breaths weak. Ryder knelt a few feet away, his hands glowing slightly as he tried to shield us from the storm. Around us, the remains of our friends lay spread, some hurt, some gone. I felt a rush of anger and sadness. This was not the world I had envisioned. This was not the future I wanted. But I realized then that fate was not a road set in stone—it was a choice. I rose to my feet, summoning the last of my strength. The golden light within me flickered, then flared, brighter than ever before. I looked up at the storm that was once my father and shouted, "I will not let you destr
TORN BETWEEN MATES THE FINAL RECKONING
Aria’s POV "Hello, my daughter. Did you miss me?"He asked and his voice crawled over my skin like ice. The man in the red robe stepped closer, his golden eyes burning like twin suns in the dark. My knees nearly buckled. Because I remembered him from my dreams. From the dreams... From the stories, my mother never finished. He was the one who left her. He was the one who cursed me. He was the one who started everything. My real father. The final piece of the vision. Xander growled beside me, his body tense, ready to attack. Ryder held my arm, still weak but alert. The forest was silent like it was holding its breath. Even the wind had stopped. "You're dead," I whispered. He smirked. "Everyone says that. Yet here I am." "Why are you here now?" "Because it's time," he said simply. "The world is ready for change. And you, Aria, are the key." I clenched my hands. "I won't help you." He sighed, like a parent unhappy with a stubborn child. "You don't know what you're refusing. Y
TORN BETWEEN MATES RISE OF THE ALPHA SEER
Aria’s POVThe night was cold, but my blood burned hot. Surrounded. Outnumbered. Wounded. But not afraid. Not anymore.I stepped forward, slowly, my glowing mark lighting the dark forest. Xander stood beside me, limping but fierce. My mother, Evelyn, stood on the other side, her silver hair glinting under the moonlight.Behind us, Ryder lay unconscious. I could still feel his heart. He was alive…for now. But the cloaked figures before us? They came to kill us.“The Council has made its decision,” the lead Shadow Walker said, stepping out from the line. His eyes were like ice. “The child of prophecy must die. ” I’m not a child anymore,” I said, lifting my head. “And I’m done running.”The golden glow on my wrist pulsed harder…brighter. Power surged through my veins like fire. It was mine now. No longer something to fear. I wasn’t just a mix of bloodlines.I was something new. Something greater. “A Seer with Alpha blood…” another one of them sneered. “Abomination.”I raised my voice. “Y
TORN BETWEEN MATES THE MARK OF TRUTH
Aria's POVThe cave was cooler now, even though the fire still burned in the corner. My heart pounded so loud I could barely hear anything else. Xander’s hand was tight around mine, but his eyes were locked on the mark shining on my wrist...golden, dancing, and alive. It wasn’t just a mark. It was a warning. A promise. A truth I had tried to forget. “What is that?” he asked in a whisper like speaking too loudly would break something between us. I swallowed hard. “It’s… the mark of truth.”Xander raised a brow. “Truth?” I nodded. “Only someone born of two powerful bloodlines can carry it. It shows lies… and binds people to fate.” His face changed… confusion mixing with something else. Fear, maybe. Or understanding.“You mean, the lies people tell… it shows you?” “Yes,” I whispered. “And sometimes, it shows them to me in flashes. Pieces of their past… or the future they hide.”His grip on my hand relaxed. “And you have this now?” I looked down at the glowing mark. “It appeared whe
TORN BETWEEN MATES SHADES OF THE PAST
Aria’s POVThe glow of the flame flashed against the tense faces around it. Aria stood there, her heart heavy from being lied to. Thalos, who she used to trust, had admitted to helping Lyria. It was hard to breathe because of how heavy his words were in the air."Why, Thalos?" Aria's voice was shaking. "After everything we've been through." Thalos looked down, and his eyes showed that he felt ashamed. "I thought I could keep you safe. Lyria offered safety if I gave her information." Kael stepped forward, his hand on his sword. "And you believed her? You risked everyone." "I didn't know she'd attack," Thalos defended. "I thought I could control it." Aria turned away, tears running down her face. The pain of lying cut deep. She had trusted Thalos and leaned on him during their darkest times. Elara approached her sister, relaxing her hand on her shoulder. "We need to decide what to do next," she said. Kael nodded. "We can't stay here. Lyria knows our home." Aria wiped her tears, p
TORN BETWEEN MATES THE SHATTERED BOND
Aria’s POV"You thought betraying our pack would keep us safe?" Aria’s voice trembled; her hands clenched at her sides. "You’ve been working with her all this time?"Thalos shook his head quickly. "No! Not all this time. Just…just lately. After your first fight with her. She stretched out to me. She stated she could help me protect you... That she wouldn’t harm you if I cooperated." "So you told her where we were hiding?" Kael took a threatening step forward. "You led her right to us." "I didn’t know she’d bring an army!" Thalos yelled. "I didn’t know she’d hurt Elara or kill anybody! I swear!" "You knew what she was capable of." Aria's voice sounded like ice now. "You watched her try to kill me. You knew." A deep quiet fell. Elara arrived behind Aria, still pale and weak, but her look was full of wonder. “You betrayed us... after everything?” Thalos sank to his knees, unwilling to face any of them in the eye. “I tho
TORN BETWEEN MATES BLOODLINES AND BETRAYALS
Aria’s POVThe mark on my chest glows once again as I move forward and raise my hands. Through the gloom, a ray of light emerges into the sky. It all stops for a second. Lyria freezes, too. Hissing at the light, the shadows contort and contract. The air grows warm like the dawn is breaking. Then a scream…no, a howl…cuts through the silence. Callum. He stumbles out from behind the battlefield, injured but he’s still alive, and I turn around just in time to see it. Even though his skin is scraped and bruised and his clothing is ripped, he fixes his intensely determined gaze on mine. He yells, "Aria!" and I dash to him, disregarding everything else. Our bodies collide, his arms encircling me firmly. He inhales, "I thought I'd lost you," "I thought you were gone," I gasped, clutching to him. But our reunion is cut short. A burst of black fire smashes the ground beside us, sending us flying apart. With a gasp, I hit the ground and rolled over to see Lyria stomping toward us.
TORN BETWEEN MATES ECHOES OF THE PAST
Aria’s POVThe smell of blood and burning hung in the air as Aria stood in the middle of the ruined pack house. A glaring reminder of Lyria's fury, the once-vibrant center of their village now lay in ruins. Her heart hurt for Callum, whose fate was still unknown, for her pack, and for the lives lost. Thalos stepped forward, his face solemn. "We have to move quickly. The more time that goes by, the more powerful Lyria becomes. Aria nodded, her features stiffening with determination. "We need to find Callum and stop her before more lives are lost." With fear and determination imprinted on their faces, the remaining pack members assembled. They listened carefully as Aria explained their strategy: to find out where Lyria was going, to get Callum back, and to face the evil that was endangering their world. Aria took comfort in the forest's silence while preparations got underway. She was filled with both painful and consoling memories of her mother. She thought back to
TORN BETWEEN MATES THE GUARDIAN’S REVELATION
Aria’s POV Xander moved protectively in front of her, but Lyria raised a hand. With a flick of her fingers, he was thrown backward into the lake. “Don’t worry, he’s not hurt. But you… Aria, you’ve made a mess. And now you’re too close to the truth.” Aria took a shaky step forward. “You’re the one who blocked Callum’s memories. You’re working with them…the shadows.” Lyria smiled. “Oh, darling… I’m not working with them.” Her smile faded into a cold sneer. “I created them.” Aria’s breath caught. Her knees nearly gave out. “You… you were my mother’s sister.” “And she was a fool,” Lyria spat. “She wasted her power. Gave it all to a weak child who doesn’t even know how to use it.” “You killed her?” Aria whispered, tears forming in her eyes. “I did what I had to. And now I’ll finish what I started.” She raised her hand again, shadows dancing around her fingers. The water around Aria started to churn violently. She screamed for Xander, but he was still unconscious.
