Aria was the Luna of the Winter Mist pack, renowned for her achievements in war strategy. Her contribution was crucial in her pack becoming the most powerful in the entire country. Everything in her life should be perfect. ...Except it wasn't. In actuality, Aria's life was anything but successful. She was helpless to the whims of her abusive Alpha mate and his mistress. A mate who never loved her. As she watches their relationship grow, her options are to run away or die trying to keep her Luna position. But this is not the story of how Aria sways his closed-off heart until he finally loves her. No, this is the story of how Aria died. So when she is faced with the opportunity to go back in time and try again... will she take it? ...Or is she fated to relive her mistakes all over again? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "...And if I refuse?" I asked hesitantly. "Then you will remain in the Abyss, forever reliving your earthly memories." My mind recalled the images that had just tormented me, showing me my death over and over again. I knew now she must have shown me that strategically so I had a taste of what my refusal would look like. "Then I don't want to be Luna again... and I don't want to be Aleric's mate," I said, surprising even myself that I was bargaining with a Goddess. But I couldn't shake the feeling something seemed off. "That is the fate I have chosen for you." "Then I don't accept," I argued. "I think there is something you're not telling me. A reason why you need me to go back so badly." She was silent, her silver eyes regarding me warily. "...So I am correct," I said, taking her silence as confirmation.
View MoreI held my breath the entire time the phone rang, hoping that the plan would work. Everything was hinging on the next few steps being successful and I knew just how slim my chances were at pulling this off. With every ring that sounded, my heart clenched a little bit more. I waited... and waited... and waited... ā¦And, to my immense relief, I seemed to be in luck. For now, at least. Because it seemed there actually had been some benefit in my abrupt escape from Ashwood, all those weeks earlier. In my haste to run away, Iād left all of my belongings behind in a suitcase. A suitcase conveniently located inside Kieranās room. So, with no other way to contact him, it sure did seem like good fortune that my old burner phone just so happened to be left in that very pile of belongings. Iād assumed Kieran had stashed it somewhere close yet safe after Iād left. My hope was that it was now in his room or a place heād still be able to hear it vibrate. ā¦And Iād been right. However, whether
āā¦Clarissaā¦ can you wake up now?ā I asked, several hours later.The sun had set and risen again, but I still remained at her bedside.My head was feeling woozy, having not slept at all, and I was beginning to think that maybe this was it.ā¦Maybe she really wouldnāt wake up.But as I tried to fight off sleep, I couldnāt help but wonder if it was my fault. I shouldnāt have yelled and pushed her past her limit when I knew she was already unwell. My anger and frustration had gotten the better of me, and it seemed I was now seeing the price of that.ā¦Even saying things that I hadnāt entirely meant. Things I wished I could take back.ā*āHave you seen flowers like this before, Rheyna?ā*ā I swore I then heard Clarissa ask.But when I sharply raised my head up to look at her, hoping to see her awake, I found myself somewhere else.ā¦I was in a field.An incredibly young and energetic-looking Clarissa was seated on the ground before me, amongst thousands of overgrown white flowers. There was pin
It was dark by the time we made it home, having spent the whole day with the Hidden Moon talking.After my conversation with Jax, the two of us had returned to the camp and the topic of war wasnāt broached again - much to my relief. I went through the motions and enjoyed my time meeting the Hidden Moon members, but all the while dreaded the conversation I would need to have once I returned home with Clarissa.She had been worn out to her limit, I could tell. Being out of the home and needing to be so alert for so long had taken its toll on her. Her face was paler than normal and her coughs were more frequent. But even though I was concerned for her, I couldnāt help but still feel salty over her behaviour. Especially at her attempts of overruling our initial agreements.āIām going to bedā¦,ā she mumbled, starting to shuffle her way there.Weād only just stepped through the door when she announced it, not even bothering to justify herself about today.āNo,ā I simply said, making her paus
āWhy are you still being so moody?ā she asked me, speaking as I carried her on my back.Between her behaviour towards Kieran and whatever plan of Clarissaās this was now, I was certainly more quiet than usual.āIām not,ā I mumbled, continuing to walk.Iād agreed to go to the meeting, if only because Iād been the one to request that my cousin come here originally. As Clarissa had said, it would have been rude to make him come all this way only to then ignore him.āAre you being like this because of this morning?ā she asked, sounding concerned. āOr did something happen last night?āHowever, after sheād gone and organised this without consulting me, and after sheād treated Kieran so terribly, I really wasnāt in the mood to put up with her questioning.āI thought you said you didnāt care what happened between us?ā I snapped back, quoting what sheād told me in the kitchen. āSo stay out of it.āAnd she was instantly quiet after that.I continued to walk into the nearby forest for some time,
āYou made a promise!ā Clarissa yelled. āThe morning is here now, Kieran. Time for you to make good on your side of our agreement and leave.ā āIām not leaving until I know Rae is okay,ā Kieran argued back. āYou saw her yourself. She was passed out cold last night.ā āAnd why would that be, huh? Care to share?ā āAs if I would know why, Clarissa. Stop thinking that I have some ulterior motive here to hurt her.ā āFine. Then if you wonāt leave, consider our deal brokā.ā āWoah!ā I quickly yelled, rushing in to stop her. āThatās enough.ā Their heads both swiftly turned to look over at me, relief evident in both of their faces to see me awake. āRae!ā Kieran greeted, moving towards me. He quickly touched my face, examining me as if I were a hospital patient. It warmed my heart to see that he was so worried... but the new sensations brought by his mark were making it hard for me to focus. It was as if everything Iād felt for him before had been heightened tenfold. ...This might take a l
āAriaā¦? Theā¦.?ā my voice trailed off, almost as if I were in disbelief. She simply smiled at my reaction though and nodded her head. āIāve been watching you for a while now,ā she continued. āYouāve been through so much. Iām so sorry youāve had to experience any of this. I know better than any how unpleasant it can be.ā āYouā¦ how can you be here?ā I asked, still confused. āHere? You mean in the Abyss? This has been my home for many years now. I learnt how to navigate its plane and break free of my memories back when I was alive. Not like Selene is around to keep tabs either. Finding you before Clarissa revives you was the difficult part though.ā āā¦Then why are you here? Why did you try to find me?ā And she then looked up at the stars above, a longing in her eyes. āā¦Because I felt it was time I intervene,ā she said. āI swore to stay neutral but, with every death you endure, my heart breaks a little bit more to watch. How many times will this be now, Rheynaā¦?ā Her eyes then met m
āFound you,ā Kieran said a little while later. After talking to Zac, Iād climbed up onto the roof, hoping to think and reflect by myself for a while whilst Kieran had a shower. The storm was currently only in the distance, it hitting the hardest during the prior conversation. Now, all I could see was the brief flashes of lightning amongst the clouds. āInteresting spot,ā he mused, looking around. āI usually sit here to keep an eye on things,ā I replied back quietly. āI can see why. Youāve got a good view of the forestā¦ with the added beauty of the sky.ā He then looked over at me with something in his eyes that caused my cheeks to burn a little. Apparently, he didnāt even need to speak or touch me, simply his presence and gaze alone were enough to send shivers through me. I stared at him for a moment, a longing inside my chest, but still couldnāt quite work out why heād stayed. After everything heād learnt about me, after everything Iād doneā¦ somehow, he hadnāt given up on me. ā¦H
āAllisonā¦?ā Kieran repeated, warily. āHow could Allison have that sort of capability?ā Clarissa had been explaining everything to Kieran for quite some time. Everything from her connection with Selene, to what triggers the end. ā¦And also about me. Heād been quietly taking it all in so far but after Clarissa had finished talking, he finally spoke up, albeit he seemed to be slightly dazed. An understandable reaction. Clarissa shrugged. āShe devoted her whole life to her faith. That sort of connection is incredibly difficult to sever. It just goes to show the potential that even those without our lineage abilities can possess.ā āAndā¦ Raeā¦,ā he said, slowly turning to me. āYouāreā¦ a Saintess now? How many times did you sayā¦?ā āThis is the seventh timelineā¦,ā I answered. āThough I donāt have any of my memories.ā Or, ratherā¦ I had just one. Clarissa hadnāt gone into too much detail regarding my previous involvement with him, thankfully, but he still understood that it was mostlyā¦ u
āIā¦ Rheyna Knightā¦ of the once lost Silver Mist Pack,ā I started, my voice barely louder than a whisper. āHereby reject yā.ā ā¦But I wasnāt able to finish the sentence. Because Iād been wrongā¦ so wrong. I could see that now. I didnāt recall that prior timeline memory to prepare myself for the pain Iād feel upon completing the rejection. Noā¦ Iād seen it as a reminder. A reminder of why I shouldnāt go ahead with it. And as his lips came crashing down against mine, immediately cutting off my words, this newfound realisation seemed so obvious. Why hadnāt I seen it sooner? It was as if something inside completely broke down the second he reached for me. Now all that was left was this connection drawing me to him. It was so incredibly strong, almost impossibly so. Like this was something I was meant to be doing. I didnāt have the resolve to resist him, instantly kissing him back. There was an urgency in my response as if Iād been starving for this. To just feel the sparks and desir
