Arya pov

The sun cast its golden hues on the floor. I lay on the ground with my back on the floor and my face facing the sky. My hands were held against each other and placed on my tummy. My ears were filled with the sweet song of the birds and the tiny insects on the land. I breathed in the cool breeze, and my skin enjoyed the cold dew.

My eyes were shut; it was my favorite place. The garden.

"Arya," a voice called, and my heart jumped inside my stomach, hoping it wasn't Leonor Alice. I kept calm without moving an inch, hoping it was my imagination. I was a mile away from their reach, and I prayed silently that no one would discover a place where I keep my sh*t together—my favorite place.

"Arya, my child," the voice called again, but it was gentle, just like a gentle breeze. It wasn't familiar, and it wasn't my imagination playing tricks on me.

I jumped to my feet, looking left and right like a lost puppy who had missed her way. I tried to figure out where the voice was coming from.

    Arya PovThe rustling of the leaves drew closer, and darkness enveloped my vision. I pulled myself to the back of the nearest tree trunk, peeking out of my eyes to see if I could see the owner of the footsteps that drew closer. My heart was pounding within, threatening to jump out of its position. I held a hand over my chest, trying to console my emotions, but it didn't help. Instead, I found my hands shivering like someone who had Parkinson's disease. Whoever it was saw me coming here. I had once felt eyes on me whenever I sneaked out through the back door, but I thought I was just being delusional. As the steps came closer, I prayed silently in my heart. I was just alone in the middle of the woods. Who is going to save them? The person might even hurt or do something worse than that. At the thought of it, I had goosebumps on my body."You can come out now, Arya." My back was on the trunk of the tree. I couldn't have the courage to see who had the voice, but the voice was familiar.

    Damian pov"There has been an attack. There will be an urgent meeting in the next 30 minutes," I mid-linked Tristan and Beta Felix.The question kept lingering in my thoughts: why was the rogue's body found at the Lynx River? Who is responsible for the killing? I had called Tristan my gamma and Beta Felix my beta, along with other council members. I didn't just want to make a rash decision. I sat at the head seat in the conference room, my back resting on the chair and a finger on my chin. It was my duty to keep my pack safe. Beta Felix walked in the same way with Tristan and other members of the council."There has been an attack," they said, looking at me in confusion. No other bodies than the rogue's were found there. The person responsible for the killing was strong enough to tear five rogues into pieces. It doesn't seem like it was an attack, but rather a conspiracy. Someone must have brought them in; someone must have shown them our secret path into the pack. Someone has to ans

    Damian Pov"You both may leave," I told both Alice and Leo, but stopped when the door of the conference room flung open. The rogue king walked in with an armor of confidence and a dominating aura."Alpha Damian, '' the rogue king, called my name in a hoarse voice and sarcastic tone. Why was he here? And what does he want?"Our path crossed again," my body tensed up,my fist clenched, and my muscles contracted. I was ready to dive the punch right into his nose, but I couldn't see myself doing it. "Why are you here? What do you want?" He slowly walked over to the curtains, focusing his gaze outside the white linen that lined the sky blue curtains. Each step he took was burned with the deadly glares from my eyes. He should be dead by now from the laser I shot through my eyes."The fresh breeze is welcoming." What the fuck? Who cares about that? What is he doing in my park? Memories I had with the rogue king were unpleasant. It hunted me every night, and I could still hear the voice of ag

    Alice PovI sat on the white sand, my hands to my back, and the calm breeze blew my loose blonde hair, which fell freely on my shoulder. One of my favorite places. I enjoyed the ocean's waves and the calm nature of the ocean.The sun wasn't intense; it was about hiding under the blue sky. A place to clear my head and play on the string of the violin, enjoying each rhythm that pulled through it. I enjoy the rhythm of both my voice and the melodies from the violin.I usually come to the beach occasionally a place to put my lyrics together and try them out with my instrument. I'm a songwriter, and I love singing too. I'm not just a devil, you know? I'm good at so many other things.I wrote a song after the tragic dismissal of my mother, but I couldn't find myself singing it. The day she died, I was out here with my instrument, putting one or two together to form a great melody. After so many years, I finally made peace with myself and had the courage to come to the beach. I breathe in

    Arya's Escape Arya found herself on the ground, her breath was heavy and the piercing light from the sun evaded her vision. She layed on the floor naked, the heat of the sun on her skin. She just couldn't understand what just happened, so she looked around. The sand was painted with blood like there had been a blood feast. Realization dawned on her when she saw the body parts of her victim scattered all over the place like monsters attacked the place. Her eyes widened when she still saw some pack members looking down on her. Their eyes weren't of lust, her body was pretty enough to turn heads but it was of fear, shock and confusion. They all knew who she was, the weak omega who couldn't help herself. "Is this not Arya the maid" a voice spoke up, probably he had gathered all the energy and courage to talk knowing his life was at risk but Arya didn't care. She slowly got up, her bones cracking back in place and her muscles toast of a piercing pain. She screamed, how on earth did she

    A new beginningArya ran as fast as she could, and her wolf Jade moved like a flash of lightning, trying to save both of them.Her four white legs tip on the floor; she was geared up by the invading danger. The momentum of every loping pace places one of its paws directly in front of the other. She was fast—fast like lightning. I began to wonder in the back of my head. Who am I really? What kind of power do I possess to make such a killing? I couldn't comprehend, nor could I understand what was going on with me. Ever since I was gifted my wolf, I couldn't comprehend the measure of power I possessed. Was I happy? I guess I should be. Nobody will dare disrespect me; nobody will dare treat me like trash, but then I have yearned for something all my life. I never wanted to be alone; I had no friends, nor do I have family. Nobody to talk to but me and myself. The only consolation I had was stolen by Alice. She always has her way around me.I hoped to find happiness—a place I call home whe

    A new dawnArya ran through the bushes, her heart close to her throat. Whoever was chasing her was close to her. Her feet ached so badly, and she was running out of breath. She ignored the branches and leaves that sapped through her arms while she ran. Her legs ran tipped on the floor, and it carried her as fast as she could. She dripped on the branch and fell to the ground with a big thub. The brown wolf that was chasing her was almost close to her. She held both hands to the ground, dragging her weight with the little strength left. As she drew away, she could see the speed of the wolf almost close to her; her hands quivered, and her heart was playing a rhythm beating beneath her rib cage.Deep into the woods, hardly any people visited except for poachers and some random people who wanted to risk their lives. There is no sign of a good samaritan going to save her. Whoever was close, two feet away from her, adrenaline shoot through her blood veins. Her breathing accelerated, and he

    Dark desiresJosh, the beta of the Silver Crescent pack, walked into the office of the Alpha."Alpha," he bowed in respect. Alpha Jasper, who had his revolving chair turned towards the window backing Josh, was down on paper work, but he knew who walked in."What do you have for me, Josh?" "The construction site collapsed yesterday night." Alpha Jasper immediately stood to his feet with dark eyes and furrowed brows."Collapsed!" He asked in surprise; he had been on this project for over 6 months now. He wanted to see his pack progress forward, which made him institute a committee for the project, which involves the building of more schools, hospitals, and banks instead of people falling into trade by barter. He had handled so many issues on different occasions, and he needed to put an end to them. He invested a fortune in it and wouldn't want to experience setbacks.The hospital has already been erected in the same way as the schools and is functioning effectively. The last project, w

    Arya stood before the tomb, her body shaking with sobs as she gazed upon the final resting place of her son, Akira. The tomb, reserved for descendants of the alpha lineage, was a poignant reminder of the legacy that had once belonged to her family, but now rested with Damian.Luna Seraphine's gentle touch and soothing words offered little comfort as Arya's grief consumed her. The pain was suffocating, and the realization that she would never see her vibrant, full-of-life son again was a constant, crushing blow.Arya's heart seethed with anger towards Alice and Leo, her cousins who had orchestrated the palace attack. If not for them, Akira would still be alive, safe in her arms. The thought fueled her anguish, and she whispered into the wind, searching for the essence of her deceased parents, who had promised to always be with her.But their spirits seemed distant, and Arya felt only despair. The warmth and love she once knew were now replaced with an unrelenting sorrow. Even with Luna

    The priest ran his hand through his thinning hair and let out an exasperated sigh. "Arya, I really wish there was something we could do. But the laws of our order expressly state that we must not interfere in conflict between brothers of the same kind. The consequences are dire. I'm sorry Arya, but our hands are tied," the man said somberly with his eyes closed.Arya thought to herself and knew there was no use trying to convince the order to go against their traditions. But there had to be a way to salvage the situation and stop her cousins from visiting evil upon the pack and perhaps, the whole earth. Just then, an idea flashed across her mind and she gave it no time to settle well before voicing it out."How about you train me to harness my magic and become powerful enough to stop the enemy. That's not something you cannot do, right?" Arya asked, hiding the pain and anxiety in her voice as she spoke.The priest squinted his eyes, deep in contemplation. He focused on a particular gr

    Damian approached the house with a plastic bag containing their dinner, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a mix of caution and confusion. He had parked the van a few poles back, just as he'd done when he was with Anika, and walked the rest of the way, his senses on high alert. As he moved through the night, he swept his gaze from side to side, high on alert to spot any strange movements, his ears perked up to catch the slightest sound. Not that he expected danger to be lurking around, but one could never be too careful.A sense of foreboding and dread sat in his stomach, and he suddenly felt goosebumps on his skin, a rare occurrence for a Vis Wood like himself. His heart raced slightly faster, and his hand instinctively went to the pocket where he kept his dagger, a habitual gesture that had become second nature to him. These were odd behaviors for his wolf, and he could only wonder what was wrong. The house came into view now, and he looked to the side, ready to cross over th

    The Blood Sisterhood were a secret sect of elite female warriors who paid allegiance to the Luna alone. They were part of the hidden tradition of the pack, a secret passed down from one generation of Luna to the next.Luna Seraphine took a deep breath, gathering her strength. "Sisters, I need you to go and ask for help from the Order of the Sun, the coven Arya's father belonged to during his lifetime. Tell them a daughter of theirs is faced with the threat of death at the hands of wicked people."The forewoman spoke up with a hint of hesitation in her voice. "This thing you ask of us, it totally goes against all that we represent. It is against our ethos to seek help from the witches." She stated gently but firmly.Luna Seraphine's voice came barely audible above a whisper. "Unless you're up for a battle against hell itself, I suggest you do as I have just requested."The woman argued, "We shall fight till death then. Our pride as a group supersedes the need to ask for help from the l

    "There's no chance that would ever work!" the witch cried immediately after Leo told her what he needed her to do. She gently extracted herself from underneath his piercing gaze and walked over to the other side of the room."And why is that?" Leo asked, his voice cold and impatient."You see, the only reason why your sister could call you back up from the underworld was because she had at least a part of your dead corpse. And the head especially, makes things easier. If you don't have her body with you, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help," the old witch explained, feigning confidence and busying herself with arranging spices on a shelf in the corner.Leo flashed to her side using his heightened reflexes and hoisted her up in the air by her neck. "I'll go get her body. If you are not here when I return, I will find you, and I will kill you," he threatened through gritted teeth."I'd also have to wait for a full moon," the woman's desperate voice pleaded."I don't care! You'll

    Damian consoled Arya over the loss of her child, but he couldn't seem to comfort her enough. She was a wrecking ball of sobs as she held baby Akira's dead form in her hands, even as Damian held her to his chest. What the bastards they had just killed did to the baby was heartless. Even in death, Akira looked like a beam of peace, his lips and skin now taking on the grayish pallor of death."I wish I had the words, my love," Damian found himself saying into the air, even though he was addressing Arya. It hurt him to see the woman he loved in such a state.Tristan and the other men from the elite command that had come with Damian to rescue his mate stood akimbo around them, at a loss for how to console both their alpha and his mate.Suddenly, Arya let out a loud gasp and began crumbling to the ground, struggling to breathe. Everyone was too stunned to do anything at first, until Damian snapped out of his shock and held her up firmly, struggling to contain both her weight and that of the

    Damian sat in the backseat of the van, lost in thought. He was confident that after asserting his dominance in the Silver Crescent pack, Jasper and his followers wouldn't dare trespass again. He adjusted his new jacket, provided by Tristan, knowing his previous clothes would be ruined after his transformation.As they approached the Ember Moon pack, Damian's keen sense of smell detected something strange. He exchanged a concerned glance with Tristan, who nodded in agreement. "Kill the engines," Damian ordered, and the driver complied without question.Damian jumped out and crept behind the wall, motioning to Tristan to follow. "Break the men into groups," he whispered. "Take the secret side gates scattered around the fence. We need the advantage of surprise." Tristan nodded and relayed the orders to the men, dividing them into four groups to cover the North, East, West, and South wings of the premises.Damian led his group of six, including Tristan, towards the West wing. As they appr

    Arya and Luna Seraphine sat on their seats, their senses on high alert. The sounds were getting closer, and Luna's voice was laced with urgency as she turned to Arya and said, "Quick, go to Akira. I don't like these sounds."Arya's heart sank into her stomach as she remembered her dream and recalled that Akira went missing in the dream. She never found him. If that were to happen now, she'd kill herself. She was sure of it.She ran as fast as her legs could go, her pace fueled by adrenaline. She turned into a side door to climb into a corridor when a body was tossed out of the corridor, and she stopped dead in her tracks. Her wolf instincts, though rarely active, screamed danger. The corpse was dressed in palace guard attire, partially shifted into its wolf form, badly disfigured, with a gaping hole where the left eye should have been and another in the chest.Slowly, she lifted her eyes to look into the corridor where the body was flung from. Her skin crawled at the sight before her.

    Damian strolled into the garden, his eyes scanning the area for his mother and Arya. He recalled his mother inviting Arya to tea the previous night and smiled, remembering the closeness they shared. He had finally made up his mind to sire Jasper's child, and his thoughts were filled with Arya.As he approached the umbrella-shaded table, he beamed with a wide smile. "Top of the morning to you two, beautiful ladies." He kissed his mother's forehead and took Arya's hand, lifting it to his lips. His eyes locked onto hers, and he heard her subtle gasp."Hello, Arya. I trust you slept well?" Arya replied shyly, "Yes, alpha. Thank you."Luna Seraphine playfully rolled her eyes. "Yes, I slept well too, thank you." Damian chuckled and said, "I was going to ask you that, mother." He turned to Arya, his smile lingering.He noticed the tea on the table and teased, "I see you've both decided to have tea without me, then." He picked up his mother's cup, and she protested, "Put that back down, sil
