Chapter: The Test That Changed EverythingChapter Eight – The Test That Changed EverythingAria’s Point of ViewI couldn’t sleep all night.My heart was heavy, like something bad was waiting just outside the door.When the healer arrived in the morning, I was already sitting on the bed, hugging my knees, trying to breathe.She was quiet and gentle. Her name was Maren. She looked at me with soft eyes, like she knew I was falling apart.“Lucien said you’ve been feeling dizzy,” she said as she opened her bag. “And you look pale.”I didn’t speak. I just nodded and lay down when she asked.Her fingers were warm as she touched my wrist. She closed her eyes and stayed still for a long time. I stared at the ceiling, holding my breath.Then she opened her eyes.Her face changed.She looked at me like I was something fragile. Breakable.“What is it?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.She sat beside me. “Aria… you’re pregnant.”The room spun.I sat up quickly. “No,” I said. “No, no… please, check again.”She placed a gentle hand

Chapter: A Name That Shouldn’t Be SaidChapter Seven – A Name That Shouldn’t Be SaidAria’s Point of ViewThe room was cold.I sat alone by the window, my arms wrapped tightly around myself. The moonlight fell across the floor like broken glass—sharp, scattered, beautiful in a way that hurt.My chest was still tight from earlier. Their words still echoed in my mind like thunder that wouldn’t fade.“She’s used goods.”“She doesn’t look like Luna stuff at all.”“What if she can’t produce an heir?”I swallowed the lump in my throat, but it stayed. Heavy and thick.Why? Why did they look at me like that?Was it because I wasn’t born of power? Because I had already been someone’s Luna once before? Because I had been thrown away like something unwanted?I stared at my reflection in the glass—red eyes, pale skin, lips that trembled.I’m not enough for them.I’ll never be.The door creaked open behind me.I stiffened, my heart skipping.Lucien.He walked in slowly, his boots echoing against the wooden floor. His presence filled th

Chapter: Not Good Enough Chapter Six – Not Good Enough Aria's Point of View The moment I entered the large hall with Lucien, my heart began racing too fast. The hall was filled with individuals—wolves, elders, ranked members, warriors. They were all well-dressed, seated at a long table, laughing and joking until we came. And in a flash… silence. Every set of eyes looked at us. But not a welcoming one. Not a friendly one. Their eyes were cold. Piercing. Judging. It was as if I'd walked into flames with bare feet. I breathed slowly and kept my head lowered. My hands, deep in my sleeves, were already shaking. Then someone broke the silence. Low and husky. "Is that. Elara?" I looked up. It was a man—tall, proud, with a jawline like Lucien's. But his eyes weren't the same. Not serious eyes like Lucien's. They were sneering. Ice. He regarded me as if I were something filthy on the ground. He snorted after a moment. "No. She's not. Elara wouldn't return. Not

Chapter: The Warning Chapter Tfive :The Warning" Aria's POV I slept soundly when I was roused awake. "Wake up," a cold, harsh voice ordered. I opened my eyes and sat up quickly, panting for breath. I looked around at the unfamiliar room. My heart pounded as memories came flooding back—Kael… Lyra… rejection… rain… and then the dark-eyed man who had borne me. Lucien. He stood beside the bed, his arms crossed, peaceful but uninterested-looking. "You have to come on out of there. My parents came back. They need to see us both in the big pack room." I blunked up at him, spooked and wondering. "Your parents…" "The Nightfang Pack Alpha and Luna," he told me. Nightfang. That was that place's name. Lucien strolled over to a chair that had clean clothing folded on it. He scooped them up and handed them to me. A long flowy dress, dark blue, with silver on the sleeves that was embroidered. It was simple but beautiful. "Wear this," he instructed. "You need to be dresse

Chapter: A Pretend Luna Chapter Four – A Pretend Luna Aria's POV I slowly opened my eyes. The room was strange. It didn't smell like home. It didn't smell like Kael. I was lying on a nice bed, warmer than I'd been in a long time, but on the inside. I was freezing. My heart was heavy. My chest ached as if it had been slashed open and drained. I slowly sat up. My body hurt, but nothing compared to my heart. I looked around. Wooden walls, curtains drawn back. Light outside. It was morning. The room was quiet, peaceful, but inside me. there was a tempest. Then it all came back to me. Kael. Lyra. The rejection. The betrayal. The way they kicked me out like nothing. Like I didn't exist. My eyes stung with tears, but I did not cry. Not again. I had no tears to spare. I touched my neck out of habit, where Kael would leave a kiss. It was empty now. No mark. No connection. Just shame. The door creaked open abruptly. A man walked in. He was tall. His footfalls w

Chapter: The Stranger By The Water Chapter Three – The Stranger by the Water Lucien's POV The sky was already a warm gold as I made my way deeper into the woods, my boots sinking softly into the mossy ground. The trees were whispering about me, serene and still, but my heart was far from that. I was supposed to be looking for Gerva leaves—a medicinal plant our healer had asked our pack to obtain. One of the puppies was running a fever, and she had said the leaves might be able to lower his body temperature. That is the only reason I came out here. Not to think about her. Not to feel this ache again. But I did. Every step I made, I remembered how my mate would smile. How she would hum when she brushed her hair in front of the window. How she disappeared into thin air. Two years. And yet, I looked for her face in each crowd. Still followed each whiff of scent that was like hers. Still carried her name as a wound I never wanted to heal. Elara. I closed my eyes for a moment, th

Chapter: I can’t take this anymore Chapter Five – “I Can’t Take This Anymore” Maya’s POV The lights above me were bright and cold. I opened my eyes slowly, and the ceiling came into focus. White. Still. Silent. I felt like I was floating. My body was weak, like I had run a thousand miles and had nothing left in me. My head ached. My chest was heavy. And then… the memories returned. The call. The fire. My company. Gone. My hands shook as I tried to sit up, but I felt dizzy. I leaned back again, closing my eyes, hoping it was all just a bad dream. But when I turned my head to the side, and saw Garrett sitting on the chair next to my bed, watching me with those intense eyes—I knew it wasn’t. He was still here. Still in the same clothes. He looked like he hadn’t slept. His face was hard, but his eyes looked worried. Tired. Concerned. Why was he still here? I should have told him to leave. I should have pushed him away. But I didn’t have the strength. I didn’t even have the strength to sp

Chapter: The FireChapter Four – The Fire Maya’s POV A Month After I sat inside my small private lounge at the back of the event hall, far from the noise. My hands were shaking slightly as I touched my forehead. I didn’t feel okay these days, I just tried to keep on pretending using the drug my friend prescribed for me to use, but it didn’t get any better and I don’t like going to the hospital. After using the morning drug, My body was warm. My stomach… strange. I didn’t understand what was wrong. Maybe it was the stress. Maybe it was everything that had happened lately. I had lost my home. My husband. My peace and everything that I thought I had. And now… I couldn’t even rest. I placed my hand gently over my belly, pressing it lightly. There was no pain… just a strange feeling I couldn’t explain. A feeling that scared me. I closed my eyes, trying to calm my mind. Suddenly, my phone rang. The sharp sound made my heart jump. I picked it up. “Hello?” “Maya… Maya!” It was one of

Chapter: The Real MeChapter Three – “The Real Me” Maya’s POV When I opened my eyes, I didn’t know where I was. The room was strange. The bed was big. The lights were dim. For a few seconds, I thought I was dreaming. But then I felt it… warm skin beside me. I turned my head slowly and saw a man… the same man from last night. He was sleeping beside me. Calm. Peaceful. But my heart was beating fast. I sat up quickly, pulling the blanket over my chest. My head was still hurting. My body felt strange… like it remembered everything even if I didn’t want to. Tears filled my eyes as the memory of last night came back. The drink. The way I had begged Bryan not to throw me out. The cold night. The man who helped me. And then… me losing control. I felt sick. I looked at the man one last time and slowly got off the bed. I found my clothes on the floor, quickly dressed, and grabbed my phone. There was only one person I could call. Tasha. She answered at once. “Maya?” I broke down crying. “Can you come

Chapter: Thrown AwayChapter Two – “Thrown Away” Maya’s POV I was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, but sleep wouldn’t come. My heart was heavy. My mind was loud. So many thoughts—too many feelings. The room felt cold, even with the blanket wrapped around me. I closed my eyes and tried to breathe, just breathe. Tomorrow, I would tell Bryan the truth. That everything he had—the job, the house, the luxury—it wasn’t from my best friend. It was from me. I wanted to tell him that I was the real CEO of Denim Group. That I built it from my father’s company. That I had made him the manager because I believed in him. Because I loved him. I went to the kitchen and reach out for the wine bottle on the small table. I didn’t usually drink, but tonight… I needed something to calm my nerves. The wine was already open. It looked untouched. Maybe my friend had left it there earlier, when she visited, maybe it was the one she wanted to drink before the call came in. I went to my room. I took a few

Chapter: The BetrayalChapter One : The Betrayal Maya’s POV The house was quiet. Too quiet. I stood in the middle of the living room, holding the red file close to my chest. My hands were shaking, not from fear, but from everything I was about to give away. This was the moment I had been waiting for. I had spent years hiding who I was. I had told myself I wanted a simple life, that I wanted someone to love me—not my money, not my position, not my name. Just me. And I thought I had found that man in Bryan. I met him in a small café when I had just come back from school abroad. He was kind, humble, and full of dreams. He told me he wanted to become someone big, someone who could provide for the woman he loved. I smiled at that time and told him I believed in him. I never told him I was the real owner of Denim Group—the company that his friends talked about all the time. I didn’t want to scare him. I didn’t want him to think I was trying to control him. So, I let my best friend, Tasha, take my place
