DARIUS’S POVThe hall still buzzed with whispers, even though the doors were closed.I could feel them. My wolves. My people. Their eyes pressed against the stone walls like ghosts. I didn’t have to hear the words to know what they said.He’s cursed. He’s weak. He’s lost his mind. And now he drags a rogue into our home?Every Alpha before me ruled with strength. Fear. Control. I had tried to rule with balance, but balance wasn’t enough. Not anymore.Not with her standing in chains in the middle of my hall, her chin lifted, her eyes burning holes through me.My mate.The one thing I needed. The one thing I couldn’t control.Rowan stood close, his voice low. “Alpha…you can’t keep her here like this. The pack…”“The pack will fall if I let her go.”“She’s a rogue,” Rowan hissed, his eyes sharp. “They’ll never follow you if you crown a rogue as your Luna. They’ll tear her apart before she even breathes.”“She’s not just a rogue.” My voice cracked before I steadied it. “She’s mine.”Rowan’

ARIA'S POVThe Blackthorn fortress loomed before me like a prison.Stone walls rose tall and cold, stretching high enough to block the stars. Torches burned in the wind, shadows dancing across the gates. My chest tightened, but I lifted my chin higher.If this Alpha thought dragging me here meant victory, he was wrong.Darius’s hand was clamped around my arm like iron, and every step I took beside him felt like fire. Wolves lined the path as he pulled me inside, their eyes sharp, their whispers sharpest of all.“Who is she?”“A rogue?”“He brought her here?”“Why would the Alpha…”“He’s lost his mind.”Each word dug into my skin, but I refused to flinch. I wanted them to see me. To see the defiance in my eyes. I was no one’s prisoner. Not in chains, not even bound by some cursed bond.Let them whisper.Let them choke on it.I kept my head high, even when they sneered.Darius walked like a man at war with himself. His steps were steady, but I could feel the tremor in the hand gripping

DARIUS’S POVThe battlefield was still breathing when the rogues scattered.Broken growls echoed in the distance, fading into the trees. The air stank of blood and iron, smoke curling off the ground where fire still ate the grass. My men were gasping, some on their knees, some dragging the wounded to safety. The night should have felt like victory. But it didn’t.I couldn’t hear Rowan barking orders. I couldn’t hear the cries of my men. All I could hear was my own heartbeat, thundering in my ears.Because she had run.My mate.The one the Moon Goddess tied to me with a bond so sharp it burned my chest. She had looked me in the eyes, snarled in my face, and ran back to the very wolves we had fought to the death.It felt like being ripped in half.“No,” I growled, staggering forward, blood still dripping from my chest. “She doesn’t get to leave.”“Alpha.” Rowan’s voice came from behind me, tight with concern. “You’re bleeding out. We need to fall back. The rogues are regrouping, we…”I

Darius’s POVThe battlefield reeked of blood.Not just blood, fear. I could smell it on my men. Hear it in the way their breaths came ragged, their growls too sharp, their movements too frantic.And worst of all, I knew why.It was because of me.Because their Alpha was no longer the beast he used to be. Because the Moon Goddess had cursed me, ripped the wolf from inside me and left me in this body, strong, yes, but slower, weaker, human in the ways that mattered most.An Alpha without his wolf was nothing. A king without a crown. And every man here knew it.“Hold the ridge!” Rowan’s voice rang out, hard and steady, cutting through the chaos. My Beta. My oldest friend. He was trying to cover for me again, barking orders louder than he needed to, distracting them from the fact that their Alpha staggered when he should have surged. That his blade swung heavy when claws should have ripped. That he bled too easily, too openly.I gritted my teeth and swung at the rogue lunging for me, st

Aria’s POVThe bond betrayed me.The moment my eyes met his, something inside me cracked open. My chest squeezed, my pulse thundered, and for a heartbeat, the world went silent.And then it whispered.Mate.The word curled inside me like smoke, curling around my ribs, tightening, burning.I wanted to scream. I wanted to rip the word out, claw it from my bones, spit it back at the Moon Goddess herself.Because he was an Alpha.And Alphas only brought ruin.I knew that truth better than anyone.I had watched an Alpha destroy everything I loved. I watched him slaughter my family, his teeth flashing, his laughter echoing as blood turned the earth black. He had ripped my sister apart before my eyes. He had taken my mother’s last breath with his claws. That night carved me into what I am.It taught me two things: packs betray, and Alphas destroy.So when the bond came, when the Goddess dared to tie me to another Alpha, I already knew my answer.No.Never.I lunged before he could speak.
