Author's POV Xavier had finally reached Arianna. She jumped into his embrace as soon as she saw him. Their wolves finally felt at ease. "Are you alright, darling?" He asked. "I'm fine, Xavier. " She replied . Ben also hugged Alice. Blake was so worried when he couldn't feel June. "I was so scared, baby. I couldn't reach you. I wasn't able to feel you." He said. "They injected us with silver. That's why you couldn't connect to me. Thankfully, Aurora was affected by silver. She fought well with Raymond. " Alice explained. "What??? Your wolf is immune to silver?" Xavier asked. "I also got to know this today. " Arianna chuckled. "I bet she has a lot of powers." Ben added. "Where is that Bastard?" Xavier growled. "He ran away." Arianna replied. "But we have his pregnant girlfriend. I have tied her up in the store room." Alice told, and all of them headed towards the store room. But Daniella was nowhere to be seen. "He must have taken her with himself after
The full moon hung low in the night sky, casting a silvery glow over the dense forest surrounding the sacred clearing of the Winter Moon pack. The air was thick with the scent of pine and earth, mingling with the anticipation of the gathered wolves. Tonight was a night of transformation, where Alpha Xavier would officially claim his mate as his Luna. Xavier and Arianna had been waiting for this day. Finally, she would be introduced to the pack. Xavier stood at the center of the clearing, his tall, muscular frame exuding authority. His dark hair framed his chiseled face, and his eyes glinted with both pride and protectiveness. Dressed in ceremonial attire—a simple leather tunic adorned with Grey wolf emblems - he awaited the arrival of his mate. The pack members circled around him, their hushed whispers echoing off the trees, their breath visible in the cool night air. Alice and Ben, the Beta pair, stood slightly off to the side, their expressions a mixture of excitement and sole
Raymond had arranged to meet King Andrew Barrett, the formidable leader of the Lycans. A chill in the air foreshadowed the brewing storm of emotions that awaited him. Raymond paced nervously, glancing at the dark treeline that surrounded him, feeling the weight of his own decisions pressing down on him. He wanted Arianna back and kill Xavier. He knew he would need a strong alliance for this. As he waited, his thoughts drifted to Daniella, the woman who now carried his child. Her presence was a comforting balm, yet it served as a painful reminder of his failures. He had lost Arianna to Xavier, the Alpha of the Winter Moon pack, and now his bitterness festered, manifesting in a burning desire for revenge. If it weren't for Daniella's stupidity, he would have never lost Arianna. “Raymond!” a deep voice called, breaking through his tumultuous thoughts. Andrew Barrett emerged from the shadows, tall and commanding, with an aura that spoke of ancient power. His dark hair flowed like a mi
The night air crackled with tension as the moon hung low,over the Winter Moon pack territory. The forest, usually alive with the sounds of nocturnal creatures, fell unnaturally silent, as if nature itself sensed the impending doom. In the heart of the pack's clearing, Xavier stood with Arianna and their closest allies, Ben and Alice. They were preparing for the upcoming danger after the warning scroll they received. “Arianna, are you sure you’re feeling okay?” he asked, concern evident in his voice as he watched her pace restlessly. “I’m fine, Xavier. It’s just… something feels off. I can’t explain it,” she replied, her brow furrowed in worry. Ben, sensing the tension, crossed his arms and scanned the treeline. “We should increase patrols tonight. If there’s a threat lurking, I’d rather be prepared.” Xavier nodded, his instincts sharpening. “Good idea. Let’s ensure everyone is on high alert.” As they strategized, a low growl reverberated through the air, unsettling the wolves
Author's POV The night after the brutal battle felt like a dark veil had descended upon the Winter Moon pack. Bodies of fallen warriors lay scattered across the clearing, a grim reminder of the ferocity of the fight. While the surviving pack members tended to the wounded and mourned their losses, Arianna felt an unsettling weight in her chest, a sense of impending revelation that loomed over her like a thundercloud Xavier had managed to secure their territory, driving the Lycans back into the shadows, but the victory felt hollow. As the sun began to rise, casting pale light over the clearing, the pack gathered around a large fire to honor their fallen comrades. Arianna stood at the forefront, her heart heavy with grief and confusion. Everyone was still confused about the scroll last night and Cherry’s sudden breakdown. Everyone had the same question. 'Who was coming to take Arianna? Why is the Lycan empire involved in this.' It was then that Cherry stepped forward, her expressio
Author's POV The pack was on high alert, their senses sharper than ever. Patrols had been doubled, and every member trained relentlessly, ready to defend their home against the looming threat of Raymond’s Black Shadow pack and the Lycan king, Andrew Barrett. In the training grounds, Arianna stood in the center of a circle, her body covered in a sheen of sweat, her breath heavy from the intense training. She had been pushing herself to unlock her hidden Lycan powers, something that had taken her by surprise. The revelation of her true lineage as Andrew’s daughter was still settling in, but there was no time to process it fully, she needed to become stronger to protect her family. Xavier watched from the edge of the clearing, his arms crossed over his chest, pride swelling in his heart. His wolf, Gray, had been restless since the moment Arianna’s Lycan had surfaced. 'She’s incredible, isn’t she?' Gray rumbled in his mind, the admiration clear in his tone. 'Yes, she is,' Xavier
The Winter Moon pack was on edge, aware of the looming threat of Raymond and Andrew, but Arianna was resolute in her determination to harness her newfound powers. As the days passed, she trained tirelessly, pushing her limits while Xavier and the pack remained vigilant, prepared for whatever came their way. Unknown them, Raymond was making a devious plan of his own, one that involved not just revenge but manipulation. His obsession with Arianna had grown into a dark desire to harness her power for himself. He had realized that capturing Cherry, Arianna’s mother, could be the key to bending Arianna to his will. Late one night, in the shadowy depths of the forest, Raymond gathered his loyal followers in a secluded clearing, far from prying eyes. “We have to act now,” he said, his voice low and menacing. “Arianna is growing stronger every day, and we can’t let her fully awaken her powers. Our best chance is to take Cherry and use her as leverage.” Daniella, standing at his side, l
The air was thick with tension in Andrew’s palace as the Lycan King paced his grand chamber, his mind racing with the implications of Raymond’s reckless actions. The news of Cherry’s kidnapping had sent ripples of chaos through his carefully laid plans.“Raymond shouldn’t have done this. How dare he kidnap Cherry without my permission!” Andrew snarled, his voice echoing against the cold stone walls.His men, clad in dark armor, dragged Raymond into the room, their expressions a mixture of disdain and amusement. Daniella, standing at the edge of the room, felt a shiver of fear as she witnessed the fallout from Raymond’s actions. The reality of being caught by Andrew was becoming all too clear.“Your Highness, please forgive him. Your mate is safe and sound. We didn’t hurt her,” Daniella pleaded, desperation lacing her voice.“Raymond, did you forget that you are a servant, not the master? How dare you make plans without my knowledge?” Andrew growled, his eyes blazing with fury.Raymond

Arianna’s POV “Come on, Uncle Ben! Auntie Alice! Let’s goooooo!” Amara’s high-pitched squeal of excitement echoed through the hallway as she tugged impatiently at Ben’s hand. Her little face was lit up like it was Christmas morning, her blue eyes shining with mischief and anticipation. Ben chuckled, ruffling the soft curls on top of her head. “Hold your horses, princess. We’ve got all day.” “All dayyyy!” Amara mimicked him, bouncing on her toes as she swung their intertwined hands back and forth. “Mommy said I can get whatever I want!” Alice laughed as she slipped on her jacket. “Did she now? Well, we’re going to have a lot of fun spoiling you, then.” Amara grinned wide, already envisioning the mountains of toys and dresses she would collect. “I’m gonna get all the toys, Auntie Alice! And maybe a unicorn!” “Well, let’s see what we can find,” Alice said, smiling down at her favorite little niece, the one who had everyone in the pack wrapped around her finger. “Maybe we can
Arianna’s POV"Xavier!" I shouted, hands on my hips as I surveyed the mess in the kitchen. Flour was everywhere—on the floor, the counters, and even the ceiling, for goddess’s sake. In the center of it all stood my three-year-old daughter, Amara, her chubby cheeks smeared with frosting, holding a wooden spoon like a sword. And beside her, just as guilty, was my mate, my supposedly mature husband, Xavier, looking way too proud of himself.Amara turned to me with her big innocent eyes, the same brilliant blue as her father’s, and giggled. "Mommy, we made a cake for you!"I couldn’t help but sigh. "This looks more like a cake explosion, sweetheart.""It’s... a work in progress," Xavier said, trying to stifle his laughter as he wiped flour off his brow. "We were just... experimenting."I gave him a hard look, crossing my arms. "By 'experimenting,' you mean turning the entire kitchen into a disaster zone?"Amara beamed up at me. "Daddy says it's called 'creative freedom'!""Creative free
Xavier's POV "Look at her, Arianna," I whispered, completely in awe of the tiny figure bundled up in my arms. Our little Amara, our princess, was finally here. Her soft, pink cheeks and tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and I couldn’t believe how small and perfect she was. She looked so peaceful, her little face relaxed as she slept. Arianna smiled at me from the bed, exhaustion still evident in her eyes, but I could see the love and pride in her gaze. "She’s perfect," she murmured, her voice soft. "I can’t believe, She's finally here," Arianna finished, her voice filled with wonder. She reached out, and I carefully passed Amara into her waiting arms. Watching them together—my strong, fierce mate holding our tiny, delicate daughter—something inside me melted. "She’s everything," I said, sitting on the edge of the bed beside Arianna. "I never knew I could love someone so much, and yet here we are—with her." Arianna smiled as she gazed down at Amara, her fingers brushing o
Arianna’s POV"Xavier!" I gasped, clutching my stomach as a sharp pain rippled through me. It felt like someone had taken hold of my insides and twisted them. I stumbled against the doorway, my breaths coming in shallow pants. This wasn’t just a regular pain—this was the moment we’d been waiting for ever since the gender was revealed. Xavier rushed to my side in an instant, his eyes wide with concern. "Arianna? What’s wrong? Is it—""It’s time," I managed to breathe out, gripping his arm for support. "The baby… she’s coming."His face transformed from shock to determination in a split second. Without hesitation, he scooped me up in his arms, cradling me gently against his chest. "Hold on, love. We’re going to the hospital. I’ll make sure everything is okay."I could only nod, trying to focus on my breathing as the pain came in waves. My body felt heavy, but I knew I had to stay calm—for the baby, for Xavier, for both of us.The journey to the pack hospital felt like a blur. Xavier mo
Xavier’s POV "Xavier! Where’s my ice cream? You said you’d bring it hours ago!" Arianna’s voice echoed through the halls of the palace, a mixture of impatience and frustration lacing her words. I sighed, a smile tugging at my lips as I hurried down the corridor with a large bowl of her favorite chocolate ice cream. Pregnancy had brought out a side of Arianna that was both fierce and demanding, and yet, seeing her this way only made me love her more. She was carrying our pup—our future. The thought made my chest swell with pride. "I’m right here, love," I called out as I entered the bedroom. Arianna was sitting in bed, her swollen belly accentuating her radiant glow. Even though she looked frustrated, I could see the excitement in her eyes when she spotted the ice cream. She was a force of nature, a queen in every sense of the word, and even though her pregnancy had come with mood swings, cravings, and exhaustion, she handled it all with grace. Well, most of the time. "It’s about ti
Arianna's POV The air between us felt charged the moment we entered the room, and I could feel the intensity radiating off Xavier. His eyes darkened, filled with a hunger I knew all too well. My pulse quickened as he closed the door behind him, the soft click echoing in the quiet space. The only sound left was my heartbeat, racing in anticipation. Without a word, Xavier crossed the room, his gaze never leaving mine. He moved with that lethal grace, a predator watching its prey. Xavier crossed the room in a matter of seconds, his presence looming over me like a storm waiting to break. His eyes, dark with desire, pinned me to the spot as if I couldn’t move even if I tried. I didn’t want to. His raw power and intensity were magnetic, pulling me closer, and the bond between us hummed, alive with emotion and need. “Xavier…” I breathed, barely able to get the word out as my throat tightened with anticipation. He didn’t say a word as he reached for me, his hands firm but gentle a
In the days that followed, Arianna and Alice worked tirelessly to implement new training programs for the warriors, emphasizing unity and teamwork among the packs. They organized drills that showcased the unique strengths of each group, fostering camaraderie and respect.Arianna often found herself reflecting on her newfound role. As the Lycan Queen, she felt a deep sense of responsibility, not just to her own people but to all the beings in their realm. She was determined to honor Clara’s memory by ensuring that no more lives would be lost to betrayal and violence.One evening, as Arianna sat in her chambers, reviewing plans for the upcoming training sessions, she was interrupted by a soft knock at the door. Alice stepped in, her expression contemplative.“Arianna, can we talk?” she asked, closing the door behind her.“Of course, Alice. What’s on your mind?” Arianna replied, setting her documents aside.“I’ve been thinking about Daniella,” Alice began. “While I know we must keep a cl
Arianna took a deep breath, steadying herself against the wave of emotions crashing within her. “You’re right, Xavier. We need to handle this delicately. I’ll address the packs and reassure them of our commitment to justice and order.”“Let’s gather the council again,” Alice suggested. “We need to ensure that everyone is informed and on the same page.”With a firm nod, Arianna stood and led the way to the council chamber, Xavier and Alice following closely behind. As they walked through the grand hall, the weight of the impending announcement hung heavily in the air. Once inside the chamber, the atmosphere was tense. The council members exchanged worried glances, their voices hushed as Arianna took her seat at the head of the table.“Thank you for coming on such short notice,” she began, her tone firm yet compassionate. “I have urgent news regarding Alpha Henry. He has been found dead in his cell under suspicious circumstances.”The room erupted into murmurs of disbelief, and Arianna
