Rylan turned to Aria, his jaw tight. “Are you okay?”Aria nodded, though her hands trembled slightly as she tried to process the encounter. “Yeah.”Rylan said with a sigh, running a hand through his hair. “Don’t pay attention to anything she said. She thrives on causing pain.”Aria hesitated, her eyes searching his. “Is what she said true?”Rylan’s expression softened, and he reached out to take her hand. “No,” he said firmly. “You’re not a project, Aria. You’re...” He trailed off, struggling to find the right words.“You’re important to me. And nothing she says changes that.”Her heart ached at the sincerity in his voice, and she found herself nodding, allowing him to guide her back to the racks.But even as she smiled and picked out more clothes, Celeste’s words lingered in the back of her mind, planting seeds of doubt she couldn’t quite shake.Aria stepped out of the dressing room once again, adjusting the soft fabric of the flowing dress.The pastel shade clung to her frame in all

Rylan watched as Aria sat by the large window in the packhouse’s common room, her figure bathed in the warm afternoon sunlight.She was cradling a steaming mug of herbal tea he had prepared for her earlier, her delicate fingers curled around the cup as if drawing strength from its warmth.Despite the serene setting, there was a quiet melancholy in her eyes, a gaze that seemed to drift far beyond the picturesque view of the pack’s expansive gardens.He didn’t interrupt her thoughts, choosing instead to observe her silently from the doorway.For the past few months, Aria had been his sole focus. He had prioritized her well being above everything, ensuring she was comfortable, protected, and cared for.Her memory loss and delicate condition made her vulnerable in ways he wasn’t accustomed to handling, but Rylan was nothing if not relentless in his duty.Duty. That was how he had framed it in his mind at first.But now, as he watched her lost in thought, something inside him stirred.It w

The morning sun had barely risen when news began to ripple across territories like wildfire.It started with hushed whispers, exchanged between traveling merchants and pack scouts.By mid morning, those whispers had grown into louder murmurs, spreading from one pack to another, carried on the wind of speculation and rumor.“Alpha King Kane is sick,” they said, voices tinged with a mix of disbelief and morbid curiosity.Others claimed with more certainty, “The mighty Alpha King is bedridden, his once powerful pack now teetering on the brink of collapse.”And the most dramatic among them insisted, “He’s already dead. The throne of the Alpha King lies vacant.”In the corners of taverns and around campfires, the stories evolved with every retelling.Some swore that Kane’s illness was the result of a curse, a punishment for some unknown crime.Others theorized that his grief over the loss of his mate, Layla, had consumed him entirely, leaving him a mere shell of the man he once was.“The M

As whispers of Alpha King Kane’s decline spread across the territories, the Alpha Council, the governing body of the most powerful packs in the world, called for an unprecedented online conference.It was a momentous event, one that signified the urgency of the situation.Never before had alphas from across the globe gathered in this way, united by a shared concern for the leadership of the werewolf kind.The video screens flickered to life in the council’s virtual meeting room, each frame showcasing a different alpha.Their faces were stern, their expressions a mixture of concern, calculation, and opportunity.The meeting was hosted by Elder Fenrir, a revered figure in the werewolf world known for his impartiality and wisdom.His gray hair and weathered features gave him an aura of authority that silenced the murmurs as he began to speak.“Alphas,” Fenrir said, his deep voice resonating through the virtual space, “we gather here today to address a matter of utmost importance.

News of the Alpha King’s declining state and the upcoming election reached the far corners of the werewolf world, including Alpha Rylan’s pack.The murmurs of a potential change in leadership sparked intense discussions among his warriors and elders.While some dismissed the idea as a distant matter, others saw it as a pivotal moment for their kind, and for their Alpha.Alpha Rylan was in his office, surrounded by his most trusted advisors.The room was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, but the atmosphere was anything but warm.The council had gathered to discuss the situation, and tensions were running high.“Alpha,” began Elder Corwin, his voice grave, “this is an opportunity we cannot ignore. With Kane incapacitated and the werewolf kingdom in disarray, the world needs a strong leader. You could be that leader.”Rylan leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. “And you think I should vie for the position of Alpha King?”“It’s not just about you,” Corwin repli

The morning sun bathed Rylan’s estate in warm light, but inside the grand hall, the atmosphere was subdued.Aria sat at the breakfast table, watching as Rylan prepared to leave.She hadn’t seen him like this before, his usually calm demeanor was now tinged with a quiet intensity.“Are you sure you don’t need me to come with you?” she asked, her voice hesitant.She was used to his protective nature and found it strange to see him walking into such a significant event without his usual guards or her by his side.Rylan paused in the doorway, adjusting the cuff of his tailored jacket. His expression softened as he turned to her. “Aria, this isn’t just a pack meeting. It’s a gathering of Alphas, and tensions will be high. I don’t want you exposed to that kind of hostility. Besides…” He walked over and placed a hand gently on her shoulder. “You’ve been through so much. I need you here, safe.”Aria nodded, though a small part of her wished she could be there to support him. “You’ve done so m

With Rylan away in the city, the air around the estate grew colder, though not in temperature.Aria felt it immediately. The subtle glances she had grown used to were no longer so discreet.Whispers echoed louder in the corridors, and the warmth of the staff's smiles had dimmed.It wasn’t everyone, most of the pack respected Rylan’s decisions, even if they didn’t fully understand his attachment to her. But a small group, those who had always been wary of outsiders, saw Rylan’s absence as an opportunity to voice their disdain.Aria was in the gardens, pruning the roses that Rylan had said reminded him of her.She found peace there, her hands working the delicate blooms as her thoughts wandered. Suddenly, a sharp voice broke her reverie.“Well, well, if it isn’t the Alpha’s little pet,” sneered a tall woman with dark auburn hair, her tone dripping with mockery.Aria recognized her as Mirabel, one of the estate’s senior pack members.Mirabel was known for her sharp tongue and her even sh

The next morning, Mirabel leaned against the oak table in her private quarters, a sly smile playing on her lips.Around her stood her closest allies, pack members who shared her disdain for Aria.They spoke in hushed tones, their eyes gleaming with malice as they devised their next move.“She’s too comfortable,” Mirabel said, her voice dripping with contempt. “Parading around here like she belongs, like she’s one of us. It’s time she understood her place.”One of her minions, a wiry man named Ezra, chuckled. “What do you have in mind?”Mirabel’s smile widened. “We send her on an errand. Deep into the forest. Somewhere far enough that she’ll get lost, maybe even into rogue territory.”“But if she comes back…” another minion, a petite woman named Talia, began hesitantly.“She won’t,” Mirabel interrupted. “And if she does, well, she’ll learn her lesson. Either way, she’s out of our hair.The next day, Mirabel approached Aria in the garden, her demeanor unusually pleasant.It was enough t

Ace’s excitement was contagious as he brandished his shiny stone, holding it up to the light.Aria knelt beside him, smiling at her son’s unrelenting energy.Kane stood nearby, watching the pair with an intensity he barely concealed.Each interaction between mother and son only deepened the ache within him, a feeling he couldn’t name, but one he couldn’t ignore.The atmosphere was interrupted when a second messenger arrived, hurrying to Kane with urgent news.“Alpha Rylan has been delayed,” the messenger explained to Kane. “The border dispute requires further negotiation. He asked me to inform Luna Aria that he might not return until late tomorrow.”Aria’s face shifted with concern, but before she could speak, Kane stepped forward. “It’s far too late for you and the boy to travel back tonight,” he said, his tone final. “You’ll stay here.”Aria hesitated, glancing down at Ace, who was happily tossing his “treasure” into the air and catching it. “That’s kind of you,” she said slowly. “B

The atmosphere in the Alpha King’s Pack was electric as Rylan, Aria, and Ace arrived.Kane had been meticulously planning for their visit, ensuring everything seemed welcoming and perfectly orchestrated. Yet, beneath the surface, he harbored an ulterior motive, a way to spend time alone with Aria and Ace, free from Rylan’s ever watchful eyes.Rylan stepped out of the car first, helping Aria down while keeping a protective hand on her back.Ace bounced out after them, his small hands grabbing at his mother’s as he took in the grand surroundings.“Whoa,” Ace whispered, his wide eyes sweeping across the pack grounds. “Is this the castle?”Kane approached them, his steps deliberate and measured, his expression calm yet unreadable.He greeted them with the proper decorum expected of an Alpha King.“Alpha Rylan,” Kane said, extending his hand. “Welcome to my pack.”Rylan shook his hand firmly, a subtle tension simmering between the two men. “Alpha King,” he replied, his voice steady. “Thank

It had been a few days since the children’s party at Alpha King Kane’s pack, but Ace hadn’t stopped talking about it.His bright eyes sparkled every time he recalled the games, the treats, and the grand stories about the “king” he’d encountered.His fascination with Kane seemed to grow stronger each day, much to Rylan’s annoyance.One morning, as Aria finished tidying up after breakfast, Ace came bounding into the room, his face alight with excitement.“Mama,” he chirped, tugging on her sleeve, “can we go see the king?”Aria blinked in surprise, setting down the cloth she’d been holding. “The king? You mean Alpha Kane?”“Yes!” Ace nodded vigorously, his messy curls bouncing. “He said he’s a king, but I didn’t see his castle last time. I wanna see it. Please, Mama?”Rylan, who had just entered the room, froze at the doorway. His jaw tightened as he absorbed his son’s words.“No,” he said firmly, his voice a low rumble. “You’re not going to see Alpha Kane.”Ace’s face fell, his bottom l

The announcement of an all children’s party in the Alpha King’s pack sent ripples of excitement across the packs.Alpha King Kane, who had been reclusive and brooding for years, had unexpectedly decided to host an extravagant event to celebrate the little ones.Invitations were extended to neighboring packs, and it became the talk of the territories.Kane's intentions, however, were far from innocent.His sole purpose in hosting the party was to get Aria to bring Ace. He hoped that amidst the joyful chaos of children playing, he could find a moment to spend with her, to study her up close, and perhaps unravel the enigma that had haunted him since.The Alpha King’s packhouse and surrounding grounds were transformed into a vibrant, child friendly wonderland.Brightly colored banners and balloons adorned the trees, while rows of tables laden with treats stretched as far as the eye could see.There were games, pony rides, bouncy castles, and even a small theater for storytelling.Kane had

The day after Rylan and Aria’s visit to Kane’s pack, whispers began to ripple through the packhouse and beyond.The uncanny resemblance between Rylan’s Luna, Aria, and the late Layla was the topic on everyone’s lips.In hushed voices, members of the pack speculated about the strange coincidence, while others suggested it might not be a coincidence at all.“I’m telling you,” one elder murmured to another in the courtyard, his voice low. “She looked just like Layla. Same eyes, same build. It’s eerie.”“Do you think it’s her?” a younger warrior asked skeptically. “That’s impossible. Layla’s gone. We buried her.”The elder shook his head, uncertainty clouding his features. “I don’t know. But the Alpha King didn’t seem himself when she was here.”“Did you see the way he kept looking at her?” another chimed in. “It’s like he saw a ghost.”The murmurs weren’t confined to the packhouse.In the marketplace and along the patrol routes, the resemblance between Aria and Layla became a constant un

When Kane returned to his pack, he called for Liam immediately.“Dig deeper into Rylan’s Luna,” Kane commanded, his voice low but firm.Liam frowned. “We’ve already tried, Alpha. There’s nothing to...”“Try again,” Kane snapped. “I want to know everything about her. Where she came from, how they met, everything.”Liam nodded reluctantly, though the concern in his eyes was evident.As the door closed behind him, Kane sank into his chair, his wolf growling restlessly.“She’s alive,” Kane murmured to himself. “And I’m going to find out why she doesn’t remember me.”And perhaps, for the boy who had dared to prank an Alpha King..............Days after Kane’s visit to Rylan’s pack, the Alpha King sent a formal letter, delivered by Liam himself, to Rylan’s packhouse.The letter bore the royal crest and invited Rylan, Aria, and Ace to visit Kane’s pack for an official meeting of goodwill and reconciliation.Rylan read the letter carefully, his brows furrowing as he considered the implicatio

The possibilities swirled in his mind, each more painful than the last.Had she been alive all this time, hiding from him deliberately?If so, why?Was it possible that Rylan, the smug Alpha who had challenged his throne, had rescued her and manipulated her memories?Or was it truly amnesia, a cruel twist of fate that had stolen their shared history from her mind?His thoughts shifted to the boy, Ace.The child had Layla’s vibrant spirit, but his features were harder to place.Kane couldn’t shake the feeling that Ace might be his, yet the timeline didn’t fit.Layla had been gone for nearly five years, and Ace was only four.And yet, the nagging possibility refused to be silenced.A knock at the door interrupted his spiraling thoughts. “Come in,” he barked, his voice sharp.Amelia stepped inside, her presence as uninvited as ever.She had been trying to claw her way back into his good graces, though Kane kept her at arm’s length.“You’ve been restless since you returned from the city,”

The sun was high as Aria stepped out of the car, holding Ace’s small hand.The bustling city streets were alive with activity, the perfect backdrop for their shopping trip.Ace, now four years old, was as mischievous as ever, and Aria had her hands full trying to keep him from running off at every opportunity.“We’re here to get you new clothes, remember?” she said, crouching down to his level.Ace wrinkled his nose. “Clothes are boring. Can we get ice cream too?”Aria smiled, ruffling his golden curls. “If you behave.”“I always behave,” Ace replied with an innocent grin that didn’t fool her in the slightest.As they strolled through the city, Ace’s eyes darted from one stall to another, filled with endless possibilities for trouble.The crowds gave him the perfect cover to slip away while Aria was momentarily distracted by a display of children’s shoes.“Ace?” she called, glancing around.No answer.Her heart skipped a beat as she scanned the area, but Ace was already a few steps ah

Years passed, but the stalemate between Alpha King Kane and Alpha Rylan persisted.The packs had settled into a tenuous peace, though tension lingered beneath the surface.Kane remained on the throne, his position unshaken by the halted election.Rylan, though unable to dethrone the Alpha King, had solidified his own pack’s strength, gaining loyalty and admiration from many.Despite their ongoing rivalry, neither had made a decisive move to change the status quo.In the midst of this uneasy calm, there was one bright, unpredictable force that no one could ignore, Ace, Rylan and Aria's three year old son.Mischievous, stubborn, and endlessly charming, Ace had become the heart of Rylan’s pack, bringing moments of joy and chaos to everyone around him.Ace was a whirlwind of energy, constantly on the move and always getting into some sort of trouble.Whether it was sneaking into the kitchens to steal sweets or hiding important documents from the elders, his antics were as exhausting as th
