Replaced and ForgottenAurelia’s POVI couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think straight. The voices of the women had faded into the distance, but their words remained.Luna ceremony.Alpha Cassian.He’s lucky to have found her.Their words rang in my head, taunting and mocking. My hands tightened around the reins.For two months, I had imagined this moment. Seeing Cassian and running toward him. Maybe even cry. Maybe hitting his chest for leaving me. Maybe forgiving him before he even apologized.I had imagined everything except this.Someone else. Another woman standing beside him. Another woman wearing the title that had once been promised to me.I swallowed hard.“Who is she?” The words came out barely above a whisper.The women hadn’t noticed me yet. I almost didn’t want them to. I wanted to turn around. I wanted to pretend I had never heard anything but my body refused to move.The older woman answered.“Her name is Vivienne Sterling. She’s an Alpha’s daughter and her

Almost HomeAurelia’s POVBy the beginning of the second month, I had learned how to walk without thinking about it. That alone felt like a miracle.My body was still weaker than it had been before the attack, but the pain no longer controlled every movement. The scars remained, pale reminders of a night I wished I could forget, but at least they no longer kept me in bed.I was finally free to leave.Or so I thought.“You’ll need another few days.”I stared at the healer. “Why?”“Because you’re still not completely recovered.”“I’m strong enough to walk.”“Walking isn’t the only thing you’ll need to do.”“I can manage.” I have wasted too much time here. I have to go home.She sighed. “You’ve been saying that for weeks.”“And I’ve been right.”She gave me a look.I smiled despite myself. For the first time in weeks, something felt almost normal. I had spent so long measuring my life by how much pain I could endure that I had forgotten what it felt like to simply be stubborn.I returned

RecoveryAurelia’s POVThe first thing I learned after surviving Silvercrest was that survival was not the same as living.For the first few days, I couldn’t do much of either. I couldn’t walk. I could barely sit upright. Sometimes, even breathing hurts.The healer told me I was lucky. I hated that word.Lucky.There was nothing lucky about waking up alive when everything I loved might already be gone. Still, I had one thing keeping me alive.Cassian.He would be looking for me. I knew it. He had to be. That thought became my reason to wake up every morning.I needed to get better. I needed to stand. I needed to walk. I needed to go home. And I needed to see him.The first week passed slowly. Every morning, I asked the same question.“How long until I can leave?”The healer always gave me the same answer.“When your body allows it.”I hated that answer.

No One CameAurelia’s POVI woke to the sound of rain. For several seconds, I didn’t move. I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, trying to understand where I was.The room was small. A wooden table stood beside a single window. A chair rested against the opposite wall. A thin blanket covered me, and beneath it, my body felt as though it had been beaten against stone.Then I remembered.Silvercrest. The fire. The strangers. Cassian.I shot upright and pain instantly exploded through my ribs. A strangled cry escaped me as I fell back against the wall.The door opened. I froze.A man stood there. He was tall with dark hair, but what really caught my attention was his eyes. They were strangely bright and…gold.He wore black trousers and a loose gray shirt, both plain but clean. His face was unfamiliar and his expression impossible to read. He stopped when he saw me awake.“You shouldn’t move.”I immediately pulled the blanket closer.“Where am I?”“Somewhere outside the eastern te

The Alpha’s BurdenAurelia’s POV *One Year Before the Blood MoonGrowing up, I used to think being Alpha meant standing at the front of every battle, but as I got older, I realized the hardest battles were the ones no one else could see.It started with the little things.Cassian stopped sneaking away from training to meet me by the river. He smiled less. He laughed less. Even when he did, there was always a hint of exhaustion hiding behind it.At first, I blamed the Alpha Council. After all, he was his father’s heir. It only made sense that they would begin preparing him for the responsibilities of leading Silvercrest one day. Still…Something felt different.I noticed it one afternoon while waiting for him outside the council hall. The heavy oak doors remained closed for what felt like hours.From where I sat beneath the old maple tree, I could hear nothing more than muffled voices rising and falling behind the walls.Sometimes they argued. Sometimes they fell into an uneasy silenc

AbandonedAurelia’s POVI woke to the taste of blood. For a moment, I didn’t know where I was. There was only darkness, the sharp ache in my ribs, and the sound of my own breathing.Exhaustion gripped my being. I felt like I had been in an endless cycle of life and death. Then I remembered.I had a wolf.I tried to feel her within me but it was just my failing heartbeat. No…Had it been all a dream?Waves of disappointment and pain assaulted me and I hurled. It was as though all the sufferings I’d endured came crashing back ten fold. But no, this couldn’t be the end of me. I had to survive. I had to fight. I had to find Cassian.My eyes flew open.“Cassian.” My voice came out as a broken whisper. When I tried to move, pain tore through my body. I bit down on my lip to keep myself from screaming.The rubble had shifted. There was a narrow opening above me now, barely wide enough for me to crawl through. Moonlight spilled through it and I stared at it for several seconds. Then…I began cr
