Mag-log in~Aria~If I tell him…Then he would know I am a spy and he would hate me…A painful pressure built in my chest. In the night, Damon did not return home. I was up waiting for him. I even sent Beatrice to check him at the Pack office.The guards said he left with Logan and Xander for a secret evening patrol in the towns.I grew impatient and anxious by the second. The sound of the wall clock had never sounded so annoying to my ears as I paced in the living room. What if Elder Wraith changed his mind about attacking the Pack boundary guards tomorrow evening and attacked Damon this evening instead…Oh goddess…I sank into the sofa with a distressed grunt. A soft whine from my wolf brushed my consciousness trying to ease me. But I could feel she was scared too and it made me feel worse. I didn't know when I dozed off on the sofa and was awoken by Beatrice the following morning. “The Alpha…where's Damon?”“He–”I sped past her and stormed to the bathroom, my heart pressing against
~Aria~“Don’t worry, he said nothing much,” Damon continued, focusing back on cutting his steak. “Ah…Ok…” I rubbed my sweaty palms on my laps nervously. “Go on. Eat.” He motioned. “Thanks.” I forced a smile as I scooped a full spoon of macaron into my mouth. But I couldn't swallow. The macaroni suddenly felt too dry for my throat to take. What did Elder Wraith discuss with Damon…What if Damon knows everything now and is waiting for me to confess on my own…“Aria–”“Huh!” I blurted. His eyebrows gathered as he stared at me narrowly. “You are distracted. Are you sure you are alright?”“Absolutely!” I laughed a very dramatic laugh that embarrassed me when I realized myself. He nodded, his eyes looking like he was thinking of something. “Are you hiding anything from me?” he asked. Out of nowhere. Shocked, I almost knocked down the cup of water before me. “Sorry…my fingers are feeling a bit –” I stuttered as I steadied the cup.“No…of course not…I'm not hiding anything from yo
~Aria~“Ouch…” I groaned, clutching my head.“You are finally awake! Let me get you some water!” Beatrice exclaimed and hurried to get me water.“What happened to me…” I mumbled, feeling the pain in my head increase. “Here. Drink this.” She handed me a glass of water. “You looked half dead when you came back from seeing your mom,” Beatrice added.“How long was I out for?”“Almost a whole day. The Alpha put you to sleep himself.” She narrated with a grin.“Uh…” My forehead gathered in a thick frown as I tried to retrieve the memory of it. “Did anyone else came to find me–”“The Alpha is here!” Beatrice whispered and ran out of the room.As soon as the door opened, Damon's scent drifted into the room. At the same time, the very memories I was searching for flooded back in a rush. My eyes popped open and my mouth hung in the air. I slammed my eyes shut, hurriedly lay back in the bed and pretended to be deep asleep. Gosh! Why didn't Beatrice tell me!Rumours about Damon carrying m
~Damon~“How many warriors can we boast of?” I asked, glancing away from the maps to Xander. “A little over five hundred solid men. The rest can't last long. We can only add them up to make a large number.”“Jamie is calling for help from a neighboring pack. He's asking for more warriors. He’s really wishing to go to war with us,” Logan muttered, clenching. “What are his terms?” I asked. “None that we have heard of yet. He hasn't responded to our calls or messages.”“I need to meet him and try convincing him that this war is not the best for either pack.”“And if he insists?”I halted, Logan's question echoing in my head. “Send a message to him again. Tell him I will meet him at a location of his choice. And I'll come alone,” I said after a second of thought. Logan groaned in displeasure with my decision. “Are you not lowering your guard too much for that jerk? He could ambush you secretly. We can hold him to the war since it's what he wants!”“Better one man dead than hundreds–
~Aria~“Did you hear anything?” I asked Beatrice, pacing in the living room. Damon was still in meeting with the elders and it had been over three hours already. After Crescent Moon left, he immediately called for an emergency council meeting. Beatrice shook her head with a heavy sigh. “Nothing yet, my Luna.”I sighed exasperatedly, slumping into the sofa. “Trust in the Alpha, my Luna. He can handle this.”“But then, I wonder what would have happened if Lady Pat was truly poisoned. We'd all be cut down by sharp claws by now.”“Oh no, I can't imagine it!” she gasped, shaking her head dramatically. This was Elder Wraith's plan…this was exactly what he wanted…Stop the peace treaty and force the two Packs to go into war.But why…Why does he wish to ruin this pack by all means?Now it was clear why Damon looked at me murderously each time he saw me coming out of the meeting hall after speaking with his uncle.It was clear now…He hated me because I was chosen by his Uncle. Now I fe
~Aria~The hall erupted with sneers and snarls. Crescent Moon Pack Members snarling at Redmoon members. “What are you all waiting for! I said kill them all!” Jamie roared, gnashing his teeth. Damon’s face was hardened where he stood, rooted. Guards rounded him, each waiting for his instructions to fight or retreat. My heart broke a million times. “I'm sorry, Damon…I had to do it…” I sobbed quietly where I sat. “Wait!” A voice echoed from the door suddenly. The Healer of Crescent Moon Pack trotted inside. “Healer?” Jamie called surprised. “Why are you here?”“I was passing by and the moon goddess revealed to me what was going to happen here,” healer muttered. “Passing by?” Jamie scoffed in disbelief. “You are in cohort with them! Guards, arrest her!”“Do you wish to see your mother dead!” The healer growled. “Call your men to order and I will have a look at Lady Pat. Or would you rather watch her die when she had a chance to live?” Jamie sneered, his teeth clenching as he co
