"Aaron Harrington, I've been waiting for you."

My brows arched upwards as I stared dumbfounded at the skeleton.

"H-how-- how do you know my name?" I dared to ask.

"I've known you ever since you were born. Son of Lycan Barron." His voice came out in a deep baritone that only managed to ground fear in my heart.

"No-- no, I must be seeing things. I must be!" I slapped my cheeks repeatedly hoping I would break free from this terrible illusion but nothing happened.

"You'll only be hurting yourself more. You know it yourself, ever since you came into my land you've felt my presence." He said and I stopped with my eyes twitching at it.

"Get out of my head." I gritted. The Skeleton laughed. "Get out!" I yelled and it growled. My breaths ceased immediately, somehow I knew if I said something wrong again, I was going to get punished. Yet my brain wouldn't stop racking up so many questions.

"Who are you?" My curiosity peaked so much that my lips moved on their own. "How do you know me?"

    "Aaron, wake up! Aaron! Aaron!"My eyes squinted open to the bright lights coming from the skies. Although my vision was blurry, I could see a figure above me, tapping my cheeks relentlessly. The voice was familiar but I also couldn't remember who this person was. My insides were in turmoil as if there was a storm striding inside of me. But beneath this disorderliness came pain spiralling across my body violently. I could also feel a bond, something was growing inside me, it was changing me by the seconds."Aaron! Come on man, wake up!" The voice yelled. Michael! I finally recognized him. But I was still confused, perhaps it was due to the terrible migraine raging in my head. I tried to move a muscle whilst recalling what happened. But none of my actions seemed to work, My muscles were stiff and I was basically not in control of my body."Aaron!" He called, I screamed and my body began to tremble violently from the pain that skyrocketed within me."Aaron what's wrong?!" Michael yelled

    "Is he worth it?" Maverick, my father's closest guard asked as we struggled past the trees and its branches.My gaze diverted from the map in my hands to him. I frowned at him and he shrugged. This was the first time in so many days he was speaking to me about Aaron. It's been four days now and we were yet to get to the forbidden lands. Left for me, I would have preferred to face this journey alone but my father wouldn't let me. If he could have his way, he would have accompanied me personally."I mean I don't need to tell you that the forbidden land is a dangerous place. There's a high possibility we might not survive once we get there." He continued but he only made anger sprout in me."No offence but all this troubles for a Wolfless man isn't worth it.""You know, I preferred the version of you that was silent." I retorted and he heaved a light sigh."It's the obvious truth, Diana. I know how long you've been looking for a mate. You're bound to get desperate just to save your fathe

    "Aaron!" I cried and my mate barked at Maverick."Aaron? I-i t-thought you were Wolfless?" Maverick trembled in fear as he arose from me. I quickly shifted away from Maverick while Aaron stealthily approached him. The aura surrounding him somehow reminded me of when I met his father at the coronation ceremony."P-lease, this i-is just a misunderstanding..." Maverick stammered but Aaron lurched at him like a beast. He didn't even give Maverick the chance to transform into his werewolf form. I watched in horror as Aaron's Wolf clawed Maverick to the ground. Ripping his limb one by one with his jaw. And soon, Maverick's cries were no longer heard. The only thing left was a snarling wolf, scattered limbs and blood splattered everywhere. His Wolf focused on me, growling at me like I was his meal. There was so much bloodlust in his eyes and I wondered,Was this truly my mate? Wasn't Aaron Wolfless? How did that innocent person I once knew become this bloodthirsty?"A-aron, it's me..." I stu

    AARON“Aaron!” Diana yelled behind me but I trotted away from her in a flash. Perhaps it was the fact that Fenris was dwelling in me, I felt it to the core that woman was my mate. The bond was even stronger than the one I ever had with my first mate. I hadn’t accepted her yet but it felt like we were destined ages ago. Yet I ran away, my legs wouldn’t stop pacing farther and farther away from her. I do not know what the moon goddess has in store for me but the last thing I ever wanted right now was a mate. If the moon goddess even cared about me in the first place I wouldn’t be in this shit hole in the first place. “Aaron!” I heard her yell behind me again and I increased my pace in the woods. No matter how stubborn she was, I would do everything in my power to never accept Diana in my life. I don’t know how much time drifted by as I ran but I had finally shaken her off my trail. A part of me was worried for her but I didn’t want to listen to those emotions. I had a lot to deal with

    DIANA “Diana!!” That was the last thing I heard before I yielded to the darkness calling to me. My eyes faintly opened to the wooden ceilings. The room was dark and small but it was dimly illuminated by a lantern on the shelf by the corner of the room. I turned and the small bed creaked. I frowned wondering how I had gotten here in the first place. The last thing I remembered was feeding Michael my blood to save him. I thought only a few drops would have been able to save him but who knew it required more to save him from the brink of death? I sat up on the bed, inspecting the room. There was nothing in the room besides the bed and shelf. There were two scents lingering outside, Michael and Aaron.I gulped down my saliva wondering if Michael survived but that thought tousled the moment I heard footsteps coming towards the wooden door. It creaked open slowly and my breaths ceased for a split moment seeing Michael saunter into the room.“You’re awake,” his gentle tone carried relief wh

    AARON “Save you from what?” I queried and she sighed as another wave of sadness gleamed in her eyes. “My father is sick and that gives the impression that our Pack is weak. Enemies are lurking around and it won’t be long before they strike,” she mumbled and my brows arched into a deeper frown. “As the only child of the Alpha, I need to find a mate to become the new Alpha of the Pack, or else, my family will lose our royal position as bearers of the Alpha title…” her voice trailed off. “I don’t have a lot of time left, Aaron, the pressure is getting worse and it won’t be long before my father and I are stripped of our positions.” “So you need me to become your mate and your Alpha,” I completed her statement for her and she gave a slight nod with eyes that beamed with uncertainty. “What is the name of your Pack again?” “Red Moon Pack.”“Your blood can heal anything, why can’t you just heal your father and he can carry on as the Alpha?” Another sigh left her breath. “We’ve tried it

    My eyes jolted awake and my body shuddered with great tremor as if a high voltage had coursed through me. My eyes refused to squint at the beautiful morning rays illuminating my king size room. My chest heaved up and down in a heavy manner. Something had left me. Something deep, a greater part of me. I could feel that void growing within me by the seconds, eating me inside out.“Aries…” I whispered, calling unto my wolf spirit but no answer came forth. “Aries!” I raised my voice affirmatively but it was still hopeless and then it dawned on me that the greatest horror of my life had birthed.I sat up on my bed staring at the bed sheets with a confused look, my lips twitched repeatedly and my breaths became heavier by the moment as the truth became more and more obvious.I had lost my wolf. Aries was gone, I didn’t know how but I could feel the void he once occupied. My body began trembling all o

    “Alpha, time is running out!” One of the elders yelled downstairs.“I know.” I heard my father say with a cough following suit.“You know?” Another one questioned in a tone filled with disgust. “That’s the same thing you’ve been telling us for months now. Is it until our Pack faces extinction?”“The moon goddess forbids it.” My father clapped back.“Keep deceiving yourself with that statement till our day of extinction comes!” The elder snapped back.“Stop saying those words like you’re praying for our downfall.” My father cautioned.“Then tell your daughter to fulfill her duty! Time is running fast and our enemies are not slowing down either. The moment they find out how weak we are, it’s over!”“Indeed! You’re no longer fit as the Alpha. Your health and your daughter is our

    "You're a failure!""A waste!""A pathetic son!""You failed your Pack, you failed me!""You're weak and I hate you for that!""I curse the day I knew you as my son!"My eyes opened only to see my mother a few meters before me spitting those heart wrenching words."Mom?" I toned in confusion. The entire room was dark but I could see her clearly. She was in pain, her eyes had swollen from so much tears, her gaze on me completely defined resentment."You don't deserve to call me that!" She warned and tears began to itch my eyes."I thought you were dead." I tried to approach her but she retreated further into the darkness."Death should have taken you instead." She spat back."Don't say that. Please don't." I mumbled in a shaky voice."If you hadn't failed me, If you weren't so weak, I would still be alive today."Tears trickled across my cheek as those words phased through my ears. "You're right. I failed you. I'm so sorry mom. I wish I could have done better. I wish I was there to pro

    "Michael!" I yelled but only the birds around tweeted in response. "Michael!" I called again, looking around the blood trails on the leafy grounds. Something terrible must have happened to him. Perhaps he was attacked by a mysterious animal or something."Michael!" I yelled again, this time my heart was already thumping loud. As much as I hated to admit it, I was worried about him. I waited for several minutes hoping he would answer but he didn't. I stared at the tent and back at the forest. I heaved a deep sigh whilst concluding I was going to search for him. I couldn't just leave, not after these blood trails."Michael!" I called one last time and suddenly the bushes by my side twitched. I heard the sound of twigs crushing and footsteps getting louder with each second. I took a defensive stance even though my body was trembling in fear. I suddenly lost my cool and the next thing that my brain told me to do was run. Whatever was behind those bushes probably hurt Michael and consideri
