Chapter: ShadowsAries’ POVI’d spent the last twelve hours buried in maps, old documents, and every alliance record I could get my hands on. Nothing. Not a single thread to pull. My warriors had scoured the forest so many times I could trace its layout with my eyes closed, and still, nothing.The damage to the pack was visible everywhere I turned, but at least rebuilding had begun. As long as my people were alive, we could heal. Still, every brick laid, every broken wall fixed, only reminded me of who was missing.Rex.The bond between us still hummed faintly, stubbornly alive. It was the only thing keeping me grounded, the proof that she was still out there. I’d tear apart every inch of this world if that’s what it took to bring her back.I’d even tried to reach Alpha Levon, desperate to send word about the insult Ron had pulled using his name. No response. Ron’s network was tighter than I imagined, every move cloaked in shadow. And every failed attempt only fueled me more.I’d get them all back. Th

Chapter: LightRex’s POV Waking up felt… different.For the first time in weeks, I felt rested—like nature itself was embracing me. Maybe it was because I was with my people, or maybe it was something else entirely, but the shift was undeniable.I’d ended up sharing a room with Rose, mostly because Julian had very loudly forbidden Zane from staying anywhere near her. He was in full protective-brother mode, and honestly, I couldn’t wait to see how long he’d keep it up. Mates never stayed apart for long, and we all knew it. He was probably just stalling until Aries had a say in it. Those two had an unspoken Alpha-level synchronization when it came to things like this.Careful not to wake Rose, I slipped out of bed and made my way outside.The village was calm. Peaceful. People bowed as I passed, and while it still felt strange, I nodded politely each time. My feet carried me toward a house tucked away from the others. It was quiet… secluded.Something about it called to me.I stood in front of the do

Chapter: Bonds Rex’s POV Just one word.That single word from Robin was enough to make every single one of them fall to their knees, no hesitation, no questions.It hit me then just how much that name, Elegida meant to them.They all stretched their hands forward, their fingers forming a strange, star-like gesture as they bowed their heads fully.I stood frozen.What was I supposed to do? I had never introduced myself to anyone this way, especially not to people who apparently saw me as the answer to a prophecy.Moon, I wish Aries was here.He’d know exactly what to say.The thought of him made my chest ache. I could only hope he was safe. I prayed he knew I was okay, too.“Say something,” Julian muttered beside me, nudging my shoulder.I realized I’d been silent far too long. My gaze swept over them, all still kneeling. Even Zane, their second-in-command, was down on one knee, eyes fixed on the ground.“Rise,” I said, my voice shaky.They didn’t move.I didn’t need this. I wasn’t sure I deserved i

Chapter: The Elegida Rex’s POV I stood frozen, my gaze locked on Robin while the healers worked. They moved in and out of the hut endlessly, carrying herbs and bowls of steaming liquid, but none of it stopped the blood.Julian knelt beside the bed, refusing to let go of Robin’s hand. His eyes were heavy with exhaustion, but his grip was unyielding. Zane stood silently in a corner, though I didn’t miss the way his gaze lingered on Rose, who had dozed off in the chair behind me. We were all worn down to the bone. Outside, I could hear murmurs and footsteps, but no one dared to enter.“What’s going on?” My voice was sharp, the kind of sharpness that came from panic and lack of sleep.Silence.I repeated it louder, my control slipping. “I said, what is going on?”This time, they all turned to me. Their eyes dropped, and the weight of my power pressed down on them without me meaning to.Zane was the only one who met my gaze. “What are you?” he asked, his tone wary as he stepped toward me.“That doesn’t matter

Chapter: BackgroundRex’s POV Standing between what looked like ordinary trees while Robin, barely clinging to consciousness chanted in the Banished tongue felt unreal.The enemy was close, far too close, yet here we were, waiting. Julian kept Robin upright while Rose stood close beside me, her hand brushing mine like she was ready to steady me if I faltered.Finally, Robin’s eyes fluttered open. “Do you… want to open the barrier?” he rasped, his tired gaze locking on mine.“What do I need to do?” I asked, desperate to get them all to safety.“A drop of your blood,” he said softly.I didn’t hesitate. I grabbed Julian’s blade and sliced my palm. The sting lasted only a second before the wound began to knit itself back together. “Now what?”“Place your hand… on the tree.” He nodded weakly.I stepped forward and pressed my bloody palm against the bark.Nothing.Panic flared in my chest. Was I not Banished enough? Was I not one of them? Doubt clawed at my mind, until the tree began to glow.Light bled from

Chapter: Way in Ron’s POV “What do you mean they disappeared?” I roared, sweeping everything off my desk in one violent motion. “I–I’m sorry, Alpha,” the warrior stammered, his voice trembling. “We were chasing them, and then… they just vanished from the forest.” In seconds, I was on him. My hand clamped around his throat, slamming him against the wall hard enough to rattle the shelves. “And you expect me to believe that?” I hissed. “Last I checked, Rex didn’t have disappearing powers. So unless she magically grew them overnight, I suggest you come up with something more believable.” “I–I’m telling the truth, Alpha,” he choked out. Pathetic. With one sharp twist, I snapped his neck. His body crumpled to the floor like discarded trash. I turned on the rest of the guards, who stumbled back as my gaze locked on them. “I suggest,” I growled, “that the next person who opens their mouth thinks very carefully about what they say. Otherwise, his body won’t be the only one on this floor.”

Nightmare turned love
I came to this new school with one goal—stay invisible.
No drama. No chaos. Just finish the semester and get out.
But everything changed the moment I laid eyes on him—Aiden Cross. Rich, arrogant, dangerously charming. The school's golden boy and certified heartbreaker. He had no business looking at me, let alone touching me.
And yet, there he was, lips still warm from kissing another girl, smirking as he walked straight toward me… and pulled me into his world with one simple, cocky line:
“Care to join?”
From that moment on, my plan to stay out of trouble was officially ruined.
Now, I’m skipping school, arguing with him like we’ve known each other for years, sharing moments I swore I’d never allow, and feeling things I can't ignore. But Aiden? He hides behind jokes and a player reputation—brushing off anything real like it’s just another game.
He’s everything I told myself to avoid. So why does my heart race every time he’s near?
Between surprise kisses in the cafeteria, his jealousy-fueled fights, and our late-night talks that cut deeper than I ever expected, I’m starting to realize one thing:
Sometimes the person you least expect becomes the one you can’t let go.
But can I trust him with my heart? Or will he leave me like he does everyone else. He was supposed to be my nightmare.
Now… he might just be my love story.

Chapter: Confidence Nova’s POVAiden and I spent the next few hours doing what we did best, acting like total idiots and loving every second of it. We played video games downstairs, teased each other endlessly, and yes… kissed way more than I’d ever admit out loud. By the time I stepped out of his house, it was almost 9 p.m.Great. I was officially doomed.“Are you sure you wanna go alone?” Aiden asked, leaning casually against the doorframe, grinning like this was all fun and games. “Because I’m pretty sure your brother’s gonna murder you.”“Oh, I’m sure,” I said with exaggerated seriousness. “If I walk in with you, I’ll be extra dead. This way, I might at least get the chance to spin a decent excuse.”He chuckled, leaning down to press a kiss against my forehead. “I’ll take your word for it, love. See you in school tomorrow, Nova.”I waved back at him, already rehearsing my fake alibi in my head. “Time to brace for impact,” I muttered under my breath as I opened my front door.“I’m home!” I called, my

Chapter: PerfectNova’s POVMy heart was pounding so hard I was sure the neighbors could hear it. The moment I stepped into Aiden’s house and found it empty, I froze.Where was he? And why was the front door wide open?A hundred thoughts collided in my head, none of them comforting. I stepped deeper inside, every movement cautious, like I was the lead character in a horror movie who was about to make the classic bad decision.The house was too quiet.I crept toward the stairs, the floorboards creaking under my feet. Maybe it was my nerves, but even the silence felt louder than it should have been. Then, because life clearly had a thing for testing me, I heard it.A low groan.From upstairs.My heart dropped.“Aiden?” I called out, my voice shaky. No reply.I tried again, louder this time. Still nothing.So I did the one thing everyone in every horror movie is always warned against. I climbed the stairs.I didn’t care. If something was wrong, if Aiden was in trouble, I had to help him—even if I was pai

Chapter: SchemeNova’s POVI had no idea when me and Eli finally crashed last night. All I knew was that my face hurt from laughing too much, and honestly? It was the best kind of ache. Seeing him smile, genuinely smile again felt like a tiny piece of the universe was finally in order. We talked about everything: Aiden, Ty, random nonsense… and yes, Eli has officially claimed the title of biggest shipper of Nova and Aiden. No contest.When I woke up, though? He was gone.“Where’d he run off to now?” I muttered as I stretched and dragged myself out of bed. After a quick shower and a lazy attempt to look human, I headed downstairs.“The lover girl lives!” Eli’s voice sang out before I even reached the dining room. Arnold chuckled in response.“Ha-ha. Hilarious,” I said, plopping into a chair and grabbing an apple. “When did you start waking up early?” I narrowed my eyes at Eli.“I heard your brother shuffling around and decided to check it out,” he replied casually.“I was shuffling,” Arnold said, sett

Chapter: Cheers Nova’s POVI was on cloud eleven by the time Aiden dropped me off. Honestly, I didn’t even feel like getting out of the car, but reality had other plans.Still, sitting there in front of my house with him made it feel real.I didn’t even know what I was thinking when I leaned in and gave him that tiny kiss before running inside,actually, scratch that. I wasn’t thinking at all. Aiden Cross was officially my boyfriend. What normal teenage girl could possibly stay calm after that? Definitely not me.Even if I’d seen this coming, it still felt unreal. It was either we’d make it official… or, well, let’s not even think about the “or.” None of that mattered now. What mattered was this—us.The second I closed the door behind me, I leaned against it, heart pounding like crazy.“Why are you breathing like you’re being chased?” Arnold asked, casually strolling toward me with his usual big-brother smirk. “What’d you do this time?”“Like I’d ever do anything,” I replied, peeling myself away from

Chapter: Focus Aiden’s POVI wasn’t sure how I managed to gather the confidence to ask Nova out.For days, I’d put it off. But then she told me what Judy had said to her, and I couldn’t shake the look in her eyes, even after she smiled again. It still bothered her, no matter how hard she tried to hide it.And I couldn’t let that stand.If anyone was going to prove Judy wrong, it had to be me.Commitment wasn’t exactly my strong point in past relationships, but this was different. Nova was different. For the first time in a long time, I wanted to be serious. I figured putting a title on what we had was the first step in proving it to her, and to myself.When I asked her to hang out while I dropped her off, I didn’t have anything planned. Even after she agreed, I was still blank. I wanted it to be special, but nothing over the top, Nova would only roll her eyes and think I wasn’t serious if I tried anything too flashy. And I couldn’t afford to mess this up.I had two days to figure it out, but the mor

Chapter: Getting the guy Nova's POV;Weekends were supposed to be about sleeping in and eating questionable meals without guilt. But apparently, my heart had other plans, plans that involved a certain Aiden Cross.I’d spent the last two days pretending to be completely unaffected. Totally normal. Totally fine. Except now, standing in front of my closet like I was about to go to war with every single piece of clothing I owned, I wasn’t fooling anyone.“Girl, you’ll look good in anything. Can you stop staring already?”I turned to find Eli leaning against my doorframe, his arms crossed and an amused smile plastered across his face.“Why are you even here?” I asked, though I couldn’t stop the smile tugging at my lips.He raised a brow. “Did you forget you called me, almost crying—because you didn’t know what to wear?”“Oh.”“Yeah. Oh,” he replied, smirking as he got up. “Now pick something out of what I laid on the bed before I change my mind. And hurry up, your Prince Charming will be here any second.”He wasn’
