Chapter 12: Choosing SidesDarius POV The air felt suffocating, the tension between Killian and Darius nearly crackling like static electricity. You stood between them, an unwilling participant in their battle of wills. Killian’s eyes burned with controlled determination, while Darius’s gaze held the raw desperation of a man haunted by his past.“Aria, you know I wouldn’t betray you,” Darius said, his voice cracking with an emotion that made your chest tighten. “You have to believe me. Everything I did, I did to save you.”Killian scoffed, stepping forward. “Save her? That’s rich coming from the man who let her die. You talk about love and protection, but where were you when it mattered?”The accusation hit Darius like a blow, but he didn’t back down. His voice hardened. “You don’t know what I went through. What we went through. Don’t act like you understand.”“Enough!” you snapped, your voice echoing through the room. Both men turned to you, their arguments frozen mid-breath. “This

Chapter 14: The RitualARIA POV When I opened my eyes, the environment was moist and chilly. The metallic taste of blood remained on my tongue, and my head throbbed. My wrists chafed raw against the rough ropes, and my arms were shackled when I attempted to move.I was surrounded by a stone-carved cavern that was illuminated by candles set into the walls. I was unable to leave the circle formed by dark symbols engraved into the earth, humming with evil energy.Then I caught sight of him. At the edge of the circle, Veyron stood with a composed face and triumphant eyes.“Awake, I see.” His voice was silky and full of hate. "All right. If you had slept through this, it would have been unfortunate.I growled and strained against my restraints, "Let me go."Veyron's chuckle was harsh and hollow. Aria, oh. You ought to give me thanks. I am going to release you—from the curse of the Moon Goddess herself, and from the bonds of the mate bond.He said something that made my stomach turn. "You'

Chapter 16: The ReckoningDarius POV The air in the grand council chamber was thick with tension. Heavy wooden beams stretched across the ceiling, their carved runes glowing faintly with ancient power. Darius strode into the room, his boots echoing against the marble floors. The room was full, council members seated in a crescent, their faces shadowed by the dim light of the chandelier. But Darius didn’t care about their gazes. His golden eyes were fixed on one person.Killian.The rival alpha lounged in his chair, looking smug and untouchable, his icy blue eyes gleaming as though he anticipated this confrontation. He always did.“Alpha Darius,” one of the elders began, his voice laced with irritation. “This is a council meeting, not—”“I don’t care what this is supposed to be,” Darius interrupted, his deep voice cutting through the elder's objection. “This concerns all of us. Killian’s actions are a threat to the balance of our packs.”Killian raised a brow, leaning forward slightly

CHAPTER 18: The Hunter become HuntedAs Aria and her friends made their way further into the dark woodland, anxiety was high in the air. For days, they had been pursuing the outlaws, their trail a meandering course of devastation that sliced across the hitherto tranquil woods. At this point, the sunlight hardly made it through the thick canopy above, giving the forest floor a spooky, broken glow. The woodland seemed alive with invisible dangers, and every twig crack and leaf rustling jangled nerves.With her knuckles white, Aria clenched her fist around the hilt of her blade. Her keen senses, sensitive to even the smallest movement, surveyed their surroundings. The stifling stillness of their mission had taken the place of the calm banter among her comrades hours ago. The weight of their faith, which she worried she would not be able to maintain, was bearing down on her. She had not sought for the duty of leading them, and every step she took was tinged with self-doubt."Remain near,"

Chapter 20: The Threads of Fate ARIA POV I ran my fingertips over the spot on my arm, feeling a little heat. I felt the weight of the secrets that each swirl of the complex pattern spoke, but I was unable to comprehend them. I was still plagued by the enigmatic warnings from the Moon Goddess and the vivid memories of the ambush. And now that Veyron's name was involved, I felt as if the strands of fate were drawing me closer to something that I couldn't avoid. I had been told not to act by Killian. He believed that by keeping me here, under the pack's protection, I would be safe. The uneasiness in my chest, however, told me differently. The visions were demands rather than just cautions. I would lose control of whatever was coming if I did nothing. I need clarification. --- I rummaged through the library's shelves while it was strangely silent and smelled of parchment and ancient leather. To me, these messages were a lifeline, but to the majority of the pack, they were reli
