Daniella’s POV Rage simmered beneath my skin as I paced in my chambers, the events of the night replaying in my head like a bad dream. I had been so close, so close to finally ridding myself of Arianna, of ending her once and for all. But nothing had gone as planned. My hands clenched into fists at the thought of her, Arianna, standing there in the forest, calm and composed as if she knew I would fail. The worst part? I did fail. I couldn’t even hurt her. I flung a glass vase across the room, the sharp sound of shattering glass barely enough to ease my frustration. How could everything have gone so wrong? I had everything planned, the silver, the wolfsbane, yet it hadn’t made a difference. She was too powerful. And that was only the beginning. The prophecy would make her unstoppable. A dark voice of my wolf Daisy slithered through my mind, whispering the bitter truth I refused to accept: 'She’s stronger than you. She’s always been stronger." I squeezed my eyes shut, trying t
Xavier’s POVThe air in the packhouse felt heavier than usual. It wasn’t anything tangible, but the tension lingered, threading through the atmosphere like an invisible fog. Seraphina had been unusually quiet after the last run-in with the witches, and I knew something was coming. It always was when she had that pensive look in her eyes.I glanced over at Arianna, who sat by the window, her silver eyes glowing faintly in the dim light of the room. She looked so serene, but I knew better. She had her own worries, and after everything with Daniella and Raymond, things had been far from peaceful. We had barely any time to ourselves. I was just about to say something to her when Seraphina’s voice broke the silence.“I’ve seen a vision,” she said quietly, stepping out of the shadows.Arianna turned her gaze toward her, her brow furrowing. “What did you see?”Seraphina, with her long, flowing dark hair and hauntingly deep eyes, seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before she spoke agai
Arianna’s POV “The time is near,” Seraphina said, her voice steady but grave as she stood before us. Her dark eyes flicked between me and Xavier, and I could feel the weight of her words even before she continued. “We need to prepare.” I exchanged a glance with Xavier. His expression mirrored my own, a mixture of determination and worry. We had been bracing ourselves for this moment, knowing that it was only a matter of time before Seraphina would give us the signal. But now that it was here, I felt a strange chill run down my spine. “What do we need to do?” I asked, my voice quieter than I intended. Seraphina took a deep breath, her gaze focused entirely on me. “In order to complete the prophecy and bring peace to our world, you must gather the five amulets from the most powerful werewolf kingdoms. These amulets hold immense power, and once they are united with the Lycan amulet, you will have everything you need.” I felt a surge of unease at her words. “Five kingdoms? That mean
Arianna’s POVThe journey began the next morning, the sun barely peeking over the horizon as we set out for the Blood Moon Kingdom. With the Lycan amulet secure in my pocket, I felt a mixture of excitement and dread. This was just the start, and the path ahead was fraught with uncertainties. Xavier walked beside me, his presence a steadying force. “Are you ready for this?” he asked, glancing at me. His voice was calm, but I could sense the underlying tension we both felt.“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I replied, taking a deep breath. “We know what we need to do. We just have to keep our focus.”We traveled through dense forests, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth. As we approached the borders of the Blood Moon Kingdom, I felt a palpable shift in the atmosphere. It was as if the very land itself was watching us, waiting to see how we would proceed.The gates of the kingdom stood tall and imposing, guarded by vigilant sentries. As we approached, I felt my heart race. This was
Arianna’s POVAfter our tense encounter at the Blood Moon Kingdom, securing the first amulet felt like a small victory in a much larger battle. The road ahead was long, but we couldn’t afford to rest for long. Our next destination was the Silver Claw Kingdom, ruled by Alpha Simon, known for his wisdom and strength, but also for his unwavering devotion to tradition.The ride through the dense forests was quieter than I had expected. Xavier was beside me, his eyes scanning the horizon for any potential threats, but I could tell his mind was elsewhere. Mine was too. Alpha Marcus had been a tough opponent, and now we faced another Alpha with an equally strong reputation. The task ahead weighed heavily on us both.“We’re close,” Xavier said, breaking the silence, his voice low but alert.I nodded, tightening my grip on the reins of my horse. As we neared the borders of the Silver Claw Kingdom, the landscape began to change. The dense forest gave way to rolling hills, and in the distance, I
Arianna’s POVThe moment I stepped deeper into the forest, the air thickened, and the familiar sounds of nature began to distort. It was as if the very trees held their breath, waiting for me to make my first move. The path was difficult, and I felt a gentle tugging sensation in my chest, urging me forward. But as I walked, doubt crept in, what if I failed this trial? What if I wasn’t strong enough to face the truth?Taking a deep breath, I pushed those thoughts aside. I had to focus. This was about more than just me. It was about securing the future of our world, about proving to Alpha Simon that we were worthy of the Silver Claw amulet. I couldn’t let fear dictate my actions.The path narrowed, and I entered a clearing where a small stone altar stood. It was a shimmering crystal, pulsing with an otherworldly light. I approached it cautiously, feeling an inexplicable connection to the crystal. As I reached out to touch it, a wave of energy surged through me, and the world around me b
Arianna’s POVThe path to the Dark Moon Kingdom was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The air grew colder, and the shadows seemed to stretch longer as the trees thickened around us. I could sense a heaviness in the atmosphere, an ominous feeling that made my skin prickle. It was as if the very forest was alive, watching us as we ventured deeper into the heart of the Dark Moon Kingdom.Xavier rode beside me, his expression serious. “Stay alert,” he said, his voice low. “We need to be prepared for anything. Alpha Viktor won’t take kindly to our presence.”I nodded, my heart racing as we approached the borders of the kingdom. This was where fear reigned, where strength was tested, and where we would need to tread carefully. I took a deep breath, reminding myself of my purpose. I had faced my fears in the Silver Claw Kingdom, and I was determined to do the same here.As we reached the entrance, a massive gate loomed before us, crafted from dark iron and adorned with intricate carvin
Arianna’s POV It felt surreal to have gained the approval of someone like Alpha Viktor, a figure feared by many. With the Dark Moon amulet in my possession, I felt a surge of hope and strength that I hadn’t anticipated. As I stepped through the threshold of the castle, the darkness of the Shadow Realm began to fade, and I found myself back in the dimly lit chamber where Viktor had tested me. Xavier was waiting, anxiety etched on his face. When he saw me, his expression shifted to one of relief. “You did it!” he exclaimed, rushing forward to wrap his arms around me. “I was worried you wouldn’t return.” “I faced my fears and earned the amulet,” I said, holding up the Dark Moon amulet for him to see. It shimmered in the low light, a stark contrast against the dark stone walls. “Alpha Viktor actually let you leave?” he asked, disbelief evident in his tone. “Surprisingly, yes. He respected my determination,” I replied, feeling a swell of pride. “We should head back and prepare for

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
