The Alpha's Scar's Chapter twenty three: Aria’s Awakening.
Aria’s attention shifted to her reflection on the wall, her eyes noticing the subtle changed in her body. Her curves seemed bigger and softer, her skin radiant and glowing.This was her first time noticing it, but the signs were undeniable now. She was constantly getting tired, fatigue clung to her like it was part of her, and her senses had already become heightened.“What are these signs I'm noticing? What is happening, why is fatigue kicking in? Could it be stress?” Aria thought to herself trying to find the answers to her questions.Aria tried to trace back to what happened and what could have gone wrong.Her thought drifted back to that fateful night with Caden. The memory was stuck with her like glue. It was as new as a fresh wine still seared in her mind. “Could it be?” Aria was becoming scared of her own thoughts and feelings.Her hands trembled as she tried to reach the small purse which contained the herbal remedy. It was prepared for her by her mum when she was much younge
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter twenty four: Aria’s Secret Struggle
Aria gently cradled her belly with her left hand, a mix of emotions swirling within her heart. Joy intertwined with fear, creating an unsteady rhythm as she navigated the dense underbrush of the forest. Being pregnant in such a wild and untamed place felt both surreal and perilous; danger lurked in every shadow. The knowledge that she was carrying Caden's child intensified her anxiety, wrapping it in a cloak of uncertainty. “How could this happen?” she pondered, her mind racing. “Just one encounter with Caden, and now I’m faced with this monumental life change. What will become of this child?” The weight of those questions hung heavily in the air around her, mingling with the earthy scent of damp moss and crushed leaves. Darkwood, a place she had always tried to steer clear of, kept calling to her thoughts like a siren’s song. The idea of being pregnant with Caden’s child felt like reaching the zenith of a story she never wished to be part of. She understood, deep down, that her des
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter One: The Arena of Power
The sun dipped low in the sky, casting long shadows across the arena as Caden stood in the center, every muscle in his body taut, eyes fixed on the beast before him. The pack had gathered around, murmurs of anticipation rippling through the crowd. His parents sat at the front, watching closely—his father with an expression of expectation, his mother with the same cool, unreadable gaze she always wore.The beast, a monstrous creature with matted fur and razor-sharp claws, snarled, circling him slowly. Caden could feel the tension in the air, thick and heavy. "Focus, Caden," he thought, keeping his eyes locked on the creature. "Everyone's watching. You can't afford to slip up."The beast lunged suddenly, teeth bared, claws outstretched. Caden dodged, just barely, feeling the wind of its swipe graze his skin. His heart pounded in his chest. “Too close,” he muttered under his breath. He could hear his father’s voice in his head: "Show them what it means to be an Alpha, son."He clenched
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Two: The Omega's Burden
Aria stood outside the chamber, her heart hammering in her chest. She had been waiting for a few minutes now, rehearsing what she would say, trying to steady her breath. Her hands fidgeted with the edge of her apron, wringing it nervously. Finally, the door swung open, and Kiernan, the pack's Beta and commander, stepped out. He was tall and broad-shouldered, his dark hair tousled from the earlier confrontation, his expression thoughtful.Aria immediately felt a blush creeping up her cheeks as she looked up at him, her voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you… for standing up for me," she said, forcing herself to meet his eyes.Kiernan glanced at her, his gaze calm but distant. "It was nothing," he replied shortly, his tone polite but dismissive. "Just be more careful next time, Aria. You don’t want to be on the Alpha’s bad side."Her heart sank a little at his response, but she nodded quickly, not wanting to seem ungrateful. "I will," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I’m sorry
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Three: The Duel and the Darkness
Caden stood in the center of the pack’s gathering ground, his chest still heaving with anger from his confrontation with the rogue Alpha. His mind raced with the conditions set before him—Mate, or lose the pack. The words echoed in his head like a relentless drumbeat, mocking him, taunting him with their simplicity and brutality.He could feel the weight of his pack’s fear pressing down on him. The usual lively buzz of conversation was muted; their eyes, wide and worried, darted around like they expected an attack at any moment. Mothers clutched their children closer, warriors whispered among themselves, and the older pack members shook their heads with grim expressions."They’re scared," Caden realized, his jaw tightening. "They don’t think I can protect them."He knew he had to act fast, do something to restore their faith in him, something to reignite their spirit and make them believe in their Alpha again. His eyes flicked to the dueling ground, where his Beta, Kiernan, was prepar
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Four: Hidden Fates
Aria lay still on the cold stone floor of Caden’s chamber, every part of her body throbbing with pain. The sharp sting between her thighs reminded her of what had just happened, a cruel, painful reminder that she couldn’t escape. Her breath came in shallow gasps, her chest tight with a mixture of fear, shame, and anger."Get up," she told herself, her mind racing. "Just get up… move."She forced her body to obey, pushing herself up with trembling arms. Her legs felt weak, barely able to support her weight, but she managed to stand. Her clothes were torn, her hair a tangled mess. She brushed a strand away from her tear-stained face, wincing at the sharp pain that flared with the movement. She had to get out of here, away from this chamber, away from him.Her eyes darted to the door. She stumbled towards it, every step a painful reminder of the violence she had just endured. She opened the door, stepping out into the corridor, where several pack members loitered. They turned to look at
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Five: The Rejection Ceremony
Caden sat in his chamber, his fists clenched on the armrests of his chair, his face twisted with frustration. "An omega," he muttered to himself, disbelief and anger bubbling inside him. "Of all the women in this pack, the Moon Goddess chose an omega for me?" He could still hear Elder Thorne’s words echoing in his mind, his father’s stern expression, his mother’s insistent nod. They had already accepted this ridiculous fate, leaving him no choice.The door opened, and his parents stepped in, their faces serious. His father, tall and imposing, crossed his arms and gave him a pointed look."We’ve decided," his father began, his tone brooking no argument. "Aria will be your mate. The ceremony will proceed as planned."Caden’s jaw tightened. "No," he growled, "I will not mate with her. She’s not fit to stand by my side. She’s weak."His mother’s eyes narrowed. "The pack needs a Luna," she said sharply. "And the Goddess has chosen her. You don’t have the luxury of choice, Caden. We need t
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter six: Ready To Challenge
“Wait”, Caden growled with panic and fear rising in his heart. His voice quivering and his hands trembling “We.. we can do something about this”, he muttered. His heart pounding fast as he thought about what would become of his fate if the rogue alpha takes over his pack Seeing the fear and distrust in the packs faces, he knew this is not the time to let them down. Silence and fear filled the whole place. Every mother drawing their pups closer to their arms. Caden's parents stood still, speechless with their eyes filled with disappointment. With the fear of not wanting to give up his power and territory to the rogue alpha, Caden decided to brace himself and protect his pack by all means “I can't let this happen. I'm the strongest werewolf and that is why I am the leader of this pack.” “I will not back down now, no… I have to do something. My pack can't see me as a weak Alpha.” He looked at his Father, ready to bring back his father's trust and hope in him as his son, he de

The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Twenty-two: Fracturing Loyalty
Kiernan’s footsteps could be heard as he walked down the deserted corridor, his mind on an unending race. The thought of facing Caden after everything that has been going on sent shivers down his spine. The thought of facing someone he was called his closest friend, more like a brother, gave him serious unrest. Caden's rule has seriously become increasingly tyrannical. His harsh and unyielding rule has brought division among everyone. “What has blinded Caden this much?” Kiernan thought to himself. The limit of Kiernan’s loyalty has been continually tested, and he has been failing these tests, unfortunate for Caden. Kiernan has battled with the thought of going against his own Alpha in a rebellious way. But the truth is what he has chosen to stand for. Little did he know that it's not as easy as he thinks. It doesn't end in just deciding to do the right thing, it doesn't end in just gathering people and having his secret team. Lives may be lost in the process, trusts will be

Caden's reign, once seen as a beacon of strength, was swiftly transforming into a suffocating nightmare, as his iron fist crushed any vestige of dissent. A pack that had always thrived on unity now found itself fragmented, members wandering in uncertainty as if lost without a guiding leader. Loyalty and rebellion danced dangerously in the air, becoming the daily currency of a community in turmoil.Caden’s piercing gaze narrowed, accentuating the deep furrows etched across his forehead. Suspicion glimmered ominously in his eyes as he scanned his loyal followers, one by one. “Who else is against me? Where are all you conspirators?” he snarled, his voice dripping with fury and aggression, injecting palpable fear into the atmosphere of his once-loyal inner circle.He prowled like a caged predator, his frustration and anger radiating in waves
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Twenty: Fractured Loyalty
The pack’s territory glimmered under the glow of the moon, its radiant light casting an ethereal sheen over the landscape, illuminating the silhouettes of trees and the shadows that lurked beneath them. The night sky hung heavy with stars, a celestial canopy watching over the restless land below.The atmosphere felt thick and oppressive, a chilling breeze cutting through the air, rustling the leaves of the towering trees that seemed to dance with a life of their own. The sounds of nature mingled with the whispers of the pack, creating a haunting symphony that echoed the tension brewing among them.Caden's harsh and uncompromising rule had ensnared the pack in a grip of fear. Dissent simmered beneath the surface, with a growing number of wolves refusing to bend to his draconian regulations. Low murmurs slithered through the assembly, wrapping around those who felt stifled by Caden’s overbearing command.“How can he impose such impossible rules upon us, as if we are mere slaves? This is
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Nineteen: The Unyielding Rule
A council meeting was underway in the grand chamber of the Darkwood Pack’s headquarters. At the head of a long, elegantly crafted table that seemed to shimmer under the soft glow of the overhead chandeliers, sat Caden, the formidable Alpha. The table, polished to perfection, bore the marks of many important discussions, yet today, it felt particularly charged with anticipation. Tension hung heavily in the air, swirling like a storm about to break. Caden’s piercing gaze swept across the room, his eyes like sharpened steel as he meticulously observed each council member. Seated beside him, they appeared acutely aware of the weight of their silence, their expressions a mix of respect and apprehension. They were all too aware that at this moment, their fates hovered in Caden’s hands, waiting for him to break the stillness. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Caden spoke. “Good day, everyone…” His voice, deep and measured, cut through the silence as he gestured with confidence,
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Eighteen: The Globe’s Revelation
Aria grasped the globe given to her by Dura. She could feel the energy from the globe surge through her veins. The forest’s voices grew louder, she could hear the forest’s secrets, loud and clear. It seemed like the forest came to life and was communicating with her. The fear and curiosity in her heart have died down, it has become a norm for her to hear the voices of the spirits in the forest and the voices of the forest itself. Aria guarded this delicate globe with everything in her. She made a special bag from the figs of tree leaves, combined with some leather skin material. The globe was always in this bag, it fitted so well such that no harm could come near it. As Aria journeyed together with her mum, the power of the globe amplified her senses and her physical powers and strength. She found new hidden streams, she could hear them sing and call unto her. Their voices echoed throughout the forest and through the trees. The forest creatures watched her, with curiosity in
The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Seventeen: The journey of truth
The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting warm hues across the forest as Aria led Dura through the labyrinthine paths lined with ancient trees. Each step felt heavy with uncertainty, her mind swirling with questions that refused to settle. Beside her, Dura walked with an air of calm confidence, but Aria couldn't shake off the nagging doubts clinging to her thoughts like a shadow.“How do I trust her?“ Aria pondered silently, her heart racing. “She claims to have healing magic, but what if there’s more to her story? What if this is all a façade—some elaborate ruse to get closer to me?“ As they approached her tent, Aria's resolve hardened. Hidden beneath her uncertainty, a sliver of determination began to take root. “I must prepare for anything.“ The thoughts swirled in her mind, unseen barricades arising to shield her heart.“We’re here,” Aria announced, taking a deep breath as she reached the entrance to her tent. With a gentle push, the fabric parted, revealing a cozy interior whe
