Third Person POVAndrew paced restlessly in his chamber, his sharp eyes gleaming with a mix of impatience and calculation. The room, dimly lit by the flickering flames of a fireplace, felt suffocating with the weight of his thoughts. He had been waiting for news—something to give him an advantage, something to bring him closer to his goal. The prophecy, the amulets—it had all been slipping away, inch by inch, until now. He had done all he could from the shadows, but he needed confirmation that things were moving in his favor.The door creaked open, and Lydia entered, her movements silent and calculated, as always. There was a particular gleam in her eyes today, one that signaled she had seen something in her visions—something significant.Andrew paused, turning his gaze toward her. “You’re late,” he said, though there was no real irritation in his voice. He valued Lydia’s visions, but they often came in their own time, not when he demanded them.Lydia’s lips curved into a small smile
Arianna’s POVThe towering trees of Winter Moon territory came into view, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. The familiar scent of pine and crisp air hit me with a wave of nostalgia. After what felt like an eternity of trials and tense negotiations, the sight of home sent a surge of relief through my body. We had made it back."We’re finally here," Xavier muttered beside me, his deep voice breaking through the sound of rustling leaves. I glanced at him, noticing the tightness in his jaw, the way his hands flexed at his sides. The last kingdom—the Northern Fang—had weighed heavily on him. And on me.I adjusted the strap of the small pouch hanging from my neck, feeling the weight of the five amulets we had collected. They were tiny, seemingly insignificant pieces of metal, but each one pulsed with power, a reminder of the Alphas we had convinced and the sacrifices we’d made. These were more than just amulets; they were symbols of hope and trust. Symbols that we held the key to
Author's POV The night air was thick with tension as the full moon bathed the clearing in a soft silver light. The towering trees surrounding the ritual site stood like silent sentinels, their leaves rustling ever so slightly in the breeze. In the center of the clearing, a large stone altar had been placed, surrounded by a circle of ancient runes etched into the earth. Flickering candles lined the edges of the circle, their flames dancing in rhythm with the whispers of the wind.Seraphina stood at the altar, her hands hovering over the five amulets spread before her. Her eyes were closed in deep concentration, her lips moving in silent incantation. Behind her, her coven of witches moved in unison, each of them chanting in an ancient language, their voices blending into a haunting harmony that seemed to resonate with the power of the amulets.Arianna stood just outside the circle, her heart pounding in her chest. She could feel the energy in the air, thick and electric, like the calm
Author's POV The once peaceful clearing where Seraphina’s coven had begun the prophecy ritual was now filled with hostility. Seraphina stood at the altar, her fingers still glowing from the ritual’s interrupted magic. Her sharp eyes flicked over to Lydia, who now stood across the circle, her lips twisted into a dark smile, relishing in the chaos that her arrival had caused."Lydia," Seraphina said, her voice tight with barely concealed anger. "You shouldn’t be here."Lydia’s smile widened, her eyes glowing faintly with power as she sauntered forward. "Oh, Seraphina, always so righteous," she taunted. "You and your pathetic little coven thought you could control the prophecy? That you could wield the power of the amulets? You forget, this power doesn’t belong to Arianna. It belongs to someone far more deserving." She cast a sidelong glance at Andrew, who stood beside her, his gaze fixed on Arianna with a hunger that made Seraphina’s stomach churn.Seraphina's voice hardened. "You don’
Author's POV The clearing was thick with the stench of blood and rage. The glow from the moon cast a silvery sheen over the chaos unfolding as the sounds of growls, snapping jaws, and clashing wolves filled the air. The prophecy had been completed, the amulets had transferred their power to Arianna but the battle had only just begun.Andrew stood at the edge of the fight, his face twisted in fury. His plans, carefully laid out for months, had crumbled in mere moments. Lydia had failed him. Arianna now possessed the power he had long coveted, and the ritual had sealed her fate as the key to the prophecy. The sight of her unconscious body, surrounded by Seraphina and her coven, made his blood boil."You useless witch!" Andrew spat, turning on Lydia, who was struggling to stand, her body weakened by Seraphina’s magic. "You said you could stop this!"Lydia, her face pale, glared up at him. "I didn’t know Seraphina would be able to fight back that way. She’s more powerful than I anticipat
Author's POV Wolves clashed, teeth bared and claws slashing. The cold wind carried the scent of blood, rage, and desperation. In the midst of the chaos, Arianna stood tall, her eyes glowing with the newfound power coursing through her veins. The amulets had awakened something ancient within her, something more powerful than she could have ever imagined. She glanced around, quickly assessing the situation. Her pack, the warriors of Winter Moon and Crystal Snow, were fighting valiantly against Andrew’s Lycan army. But she knew that Andrew was the real threat. He had to be stopped, or this would never end. Her eyes flicked to her parents, and Aron and Cherry—who were pinned beneath Andrew’s towering Lycan form. Blood dripped from Aron’s fur, his white coat stained red as he struggled beneath Andrew’s crushing weight. Cherry, limping but fierce, had already tried to help but was swatted aside by Andrew’s brutal strength. Andrew, seeing Arianna standing, snarled. "You think your newfo
Author's POV The tension of the battle still lingered in the air as everyone gathered back at the packhouse. Though the fight was over and the prophecy fulfilled, the air felt heavy. Arianna sat by the large window, staring blankly outside, lost in her thoughts. Xavier stood by her side, watching her silently, sensing the weight on her mind."You should try to rest," Xavier finally said, breaking the silence. His voice was soft, filled with concern. "We’ve been through a lot."Arianna shook her head slowly, her gaze never leaving the window. "It’s not me," she whispered. "It’s Aurora. She’s upset. I can feel her pain, and it’s making it impossible for me to settle."Xavier frowned, stepping closer to her. "Aurora? Is it because of Raymond?" he asked, though he already knew the answer.Arianna let out a slow breath, her eyes filled with conflict. "Raymond is dead, and I’m glad for it. But Fang didn’t deserve this. He was forced to do things he didn’t want to do. Aurora knows it, and i
Author's POV Arianna stood by the window of her room, staring out at the moonlit landscape, her mind wandering as the cool breeze touched her skin.The sound of the door opening behind her pulled her from her thoughts. She didn’t need to turn to know who it was. Xavier’s presence was something she could feel deep within her, a constant warmth that was always there, whether he was physically near or not. "You’re still awake," Xavier’s voice came softly from behind her, his tone filled with quiet affection. Arianna smiled softly, turning her head to look at him. He had already changed into a pair of comfortable pants and a simple shirt, his dark hair slightly tousled, as if he had just run his fingers through it. He looked relaxed, but she could still see the faint lines of concern on his face."I couldn’t sleep," she admitted, her voice gentle. "There’s too much in my head."Xavier crossed the room, coming to stand beside her. He glanced out of the window, his eyes following her gaz

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
