I was born to shine. But the fate had others plans for me. The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent. There was only wind. And peace. For one fragile heartbeat, I was free. Like a bird. Then something slammed into me from behind. Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside me cracked. Darkness rushed in and I welcomed it. … “Open. Your. Eyes.” The voice was quiet, slow, deliberate. It forced its way through bone and blood. An Alpha command. Pain detonated through me as air tore back into my lungs. My body convulsed against my will. I tried to sink back into the quiet—to finish what I had started. “You were NEVER given permission to die.” Power wrapped around the words like chains. My eyes snapped open. We were beyond the pack’s borders. The air felt colder. Wilder. Untouched by law or duty. For one second, I had belonged to nothing. And he had dragged me back. He loomed above me, fury carved into every sharp angle of his face. His breathing was controlled, his posture dominant - absolute. If anyone were watching from the cliffs, they would see an Alpha asserting ownership. His jaw tightened, irritated at being forced to deal with something that should have already been resolved. I had complicated his plans. “Drink.” His wrist pressed my mouth. The metallic scent hit first. I tried to clamp my lips shut. But Alpha commands do not ask. They take. My mouth opened against my will and his blood burned down my throat, spreading heat through my chest. A cruel gift. He would not even grant me the mercy of dying on my own terms. And I understood - even my death did not belong to me.

1. The Mark
The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent.
There was only wind.
And peace.
For one fragile heartbeat, I was free.
Like a bird.
Then something slammed into me from behind.
Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside me cracked. Darkness rushed in and I welcomed it. … “Open. Your. Eyes.” The voice was quiet, slow, deliberate. It forced its way through bone and blood. An Alpha command. Pain detonated through me as air tore back into my lungs. My body convulsed against my will. I tried to sink back into the quiet—to finish what I had started. “You were NEVER given permission to die.” Power wrapped around the words like chains. My eyes snapped open. We were beyond the pack’s borders. The air felt colder. Wilder. Untouched by law or duty. For one second, I had belonged to nothing. And he had dragged me back. He loomed above me, fury carved into every sharp angle of his face. His breathing was controlled, his posture dominant - absolute. If anyone were watching from the cliffs, they would see an Alpha asserting ownership. His jaw tightened, irritated at being forced to deal with something that should have already been resolved. I had complicated his plans. “Drink.” His wrist pressed my mouth. The metallic scent hit first. I tried to clamp my lips shut. But Alpha commands do not ask. They take. My mouth opened against my will and his blood burned down my throat, spreading heat through my chest. A cruel gift. He would not even grant me the mercy of dying on my own terms. And I understood - even my death did not belong to me. --- But there had been a time when I belonged to myself. When I was strong. When the future was bright. --- “Again.” Dust rose around us in the training ring. The sun burned hot above the clearing. Darius circled me slowly. Three years older. Broad shoulders. Already fully shifted. “You’re quick,” he said with a smirk. “But you’re still smaller.” “Then don’t miss.”He lunged first.
I stepped into him instead. My forearm deflected his strike. My knee drove into his thigh. He staggered—just enough. I twisted, hooked his leg, and sent him crashing to the ground. Before he could recover, I pinned him hard, forearm at his throat. “Yield.” A breathless second passed. Then he tapped the dirt twice. The ring exploded with cheers. Darius laughed as I released him and pulled him back to his feet.“You fight like an Alpha.” he said
“No,” my father’s voice cut through the noise. He stepped forward, pride undisguised. “She fights like mine.” Applause thundered again. Dust clung to my skin. Blood marked my lip. But I had never felt more certain of who I was. --- Later that same week, four of us stood around a strategy table—future leaders of the strongest neighboring packs. Maps. Markers. Borders. Two alliances broken. One supply chain severed. Only one king still standing. Mine. The visiting Alphas exchanged measured looks before nodding once. Respect. My father’s hand rested briefly on my shoulder. “Well played.” That alone was enough. --- That night, the pack celebrated me. Torches flared high with a great bonfire at the center. Drums echoed through the clearing.Genuine smiles and applauses welcomed me when I appeared.
Warriors clasped my shoulders with rough affection. Elders blessed me with warm smiles. Children tugged at my sleeves, demanding to know what kind of trick I pulled to win against those big boys.
And I?
I laughed a lot. I danced to my heart. I let myself sink in the love of my pack and my family.
My once braided red hair was now freely let down to my waist. Flowers were still tucked randomly in there. Red fires from the torches were dancing in my green eyes. Ashes marked my cheeks as a symbol of the blessings I had recieved that night.
I stood at the center of my pack — exactly where I belonged. --- When the noise softened, my parents called me inside. My mother held a small parchment. On it, two intertwined crowns wrapped in climbing vines. “A gift” she said in a soft voice. “It represents the balance between power and wisdom. Between strength and restraint.” “And sacrifice,” my father added.The vines were elegant. The thorns subtle.
“I love it,” I said.
My mother’s smile was warm. She stepped closer, her fingers brushing lightly over my chest.
“Above your heart?” She murmured. “Where true power belongs?”
I did not hesitate.
“Perfect.”
For a fleeting second, something flickered in her eyes.
“My little girl,” she whispered, pulling me into her arms. “You are growing so fast.”
My father joined us, wrapping both of us in his embrace.
And my brother? He took just a second before forcing himself in. Laugh erupted again.
Love had always been the foundation of our family.
“You will shine,” my mother whispered.I believed her.
And in that perfect moment, I believed it would always be enough.

Born to shine 163. Homecoming
🌘 Fenrir POV Alaric refused to give me control back when we sensed Aron’s presence. He had been angry for too long. He wanted to make sure Aron understood one thing clearly. He was still alive because Alaric had allowed it. That was the other reason I needed Arria here. To keep him calm enough not to spiral. The first was that yesterday I had been restless the entire time I was away from her. So here we were. And when Alaric roared threateningly at Aron, I watched. Carefully. That was why I saw it. Not the performance. The truth beneath it. He wasn’t afraid. Not of dying. If anything, it seemed to cost him more to keep playing the role Melanie had forced him into. To live. For her sake. He had miscalculated that part. I knew for sure he had done what he believed was necessary to make her resent him, to make it easier for Melanie to sever their bond. But it was Melanie. With anyone else, it might actually have worked. With her... I almost smirked. Aron and I w

🍃 Arria POV The farther Alaric carried me away from the others, the harder it became to ignore where we were actually going. Aron. Or at least the place where Fenrir believed we would find him. I had agreed to bring him back to Oakcrest. Not willingly. Not happily. And definitely not because I had forgiven him. Just— I can manage. That was what I had told Fenrir. Because over the past few months, something had become increasingly difficult to ignore. When it came to Aron, mine seemed to be the only experience that had been entirely negative. My parents had trusted Aron with the pack, with the secret of my heritage, and with me. That was a lot already. Then there was Fenrir. Even furious with Aron because of what he had done to me, he still trusted his word without the slightest hesitation. I had tried asking him about it once. “He ruined your life,” Fenrir had answered. “Whatever he may have done for me does not erase what he did to you. You have the right to judge h

🕷️ Vaerion POVArria had slipped through my fingers once again.Someone powerful had helped her.That darkness.That absolute power.The shadows...Impossible.Absolutely impossible.The only creature I had ever known capable of making the shadows stir was that cursed animal, Alaric.Over the centuries, it had become increasingly obvious that with each new life, his soul was becoming more deeply intertwined with them. The connection had started developing a life of its own, independent of the curse itself.But never like this.The most he had ever managed was to make them stir.Barely a movement beneath his command.Beyond that, the shadows had occasionally seemed to lean toward him whenever his human counterpart stood near a dark corridor or corner.But that had never been conscious.Never controlled.The shadows simply gathered around the darkest soul closest to them.
