LOGIN~LucianIt didn’t feel real.The words were still echoing in the air, still hanging there like something that hadn’t quite settled into place, and yet they had already torn through me completely.Ara Monero.My mother.He had said her name so easily. So plainly. Like it wasn’t the name of a woman who had held me, who had loved me, who had been taken away from me without mercy.My chest tightened, the air around me grew heavier with every second that passed. I couldn’t move. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t even breathe properly as the truth wrapped itself around me, squeezing tighter and tighter until it felt like there was nothing left inside me to hold on to.He killed my parents Everything I had lost, everything I had been forced to live without, everything I had tried so hard to bury just to survive…He had been the one all along and I had been standing in the same room with him all this time.My fingers trembled at my sides, my vision blurring slightly as the weight of it pressed down o
~Lucian A pin-drop silence fell across the room as rage burned through me.I took a chilling step forward, and everyone adjusted instinctively. They would have rushed out of the room at that exact moment if they weren’t frozen in the intensity of everything unfolding before them.I stepped closer to Damian and the seer. The seer didn’t tremble like the rest of the crowd. He stood unshaken, because he already knew I wasn’t coming for him…but for the old traitor sitting quietly in the wheelchair.My voice dropped. “Cancel the spell now,” I said to the seer before tilting my head toward Damian. “I need to hear him say this in his right state of mind.”The seer obeyed quickly, repeating the same process with the leaf and white dust.Damian jerked like he just woke up from a deep trance.The old man looked around, all eyes on him. He immediately looked up at Malakai, who had so much fear in his eyes, already sweating even before the attention could shift fully onto him.At that point, he
~Lucian I had seen unrest before.I had stood in rooms where voices rose, where accusations were thrown without restraint, where tension coiled so tightly it threatened to snap at any moment. I knew what chaos looked like. I knew how quickly control could be lost when fear and uncertainty spread through a pack.But this was different. Because this time, I wasn’t stepping in to control it. I was watching it unfold silently. Deliberately.From the moment Aiden began speaking, I had said nothing. I hadn’t interrupted, hadn’t questioned, hadn’t even shifted from where I sat. My gaze remained fixed on him, steady and unreadable, while every word he spoke settled into the room…and into me.At first, it had been just words and observations. Concerns that could have been dismissed if they lacked weight.As he spoke, laying everything out piece by piece, I found myself following the trail he had built, step by step, without resistance. The patterns he described were not unfamiliar to me. I ha
~Nadia The silence that followed Aiden’s final words did not feel natural.It pressed in from every side, thick and unmoving, as though the entire hall had been forced into stillness against its will. No one spoke. No one shifted. Even the air itself seemed to hold its breath.I stood by the corner, my fingers curled tightly against my palm, my gaze fixed ahead though my thoughts refused to stay steady. Aiden’s voice still echoed in my mind, each word replaying with a weight that refused to settle.Elder Damian.A traitor.The accusation alone had been enough to shake the room, but now… now something else was coming.Something final. Something that would either shatter everything…Or prove nothing at all.Aiden moved first.I watched him step aside slightly, his posture calm, controlled, as his gaze turned toward the man he had brought with him.The seer nodded and moved forward.A quiet shift moved through the crowd as attention followed, unease rippling beneath the surface of the si
~Aiden I exhaled, and let my voice calm in the silence of the room before speaking again.“The person responsible for all of this…is the one whom many of us respect with every wolf blood that runs through our veins.” The room held its breath. “He's the last person anyone would suspect in a case like that.”“Elder Damian.”I let the bomb drop. I didn't take my words back. Voices rose, shock rippled through the hall like a breaking wave, disbelief clashing with anger, confusion colliding with denial.I didn’t move or react. I let it happen because I had already suspected this reaction from the pack.From the corner of my eye, I caught movement.Malakai.He was trying to carefully slip away, his toes pinned to the ground, movement as quiet as possible. Unnoticed by even the people beside him. Two guards stepped forward, positioning themselves behind him before he could take another step.I allowed myself the smallest hint of a smile.Exactly as planned.Rowan moved quickly, stepping f
~Aiden The room settled the moment I began to speak. Voices lowered, movements stilled, and gradually, attention gathered where it needed to be…on me.I didn't need to worry about Damian and Malakai slipping out, because I already positioned guards behind them.I let my gaze move across them slowly. Faces filled the hall, familiar and unfamiliar, all carrying the same question in their eyes.Why are we here?I drew in a steady breath before speaking.“I know this gathering was sudden,” I began, my voice calm, carrying just enough to reach every corner of the hall without strain. “And I understand that many of you are wondering why you were called here without explanation.”A few murmurs stirred, quiet but present.“I wouldn’t have done that,” I continued, “unless it was necessary.”That settled them further.“This concerns the safety of the pack.” I said and complete silence followed. “For some time now, something hasn’t been right,” I said, my tone steady, grounded. “Our movements h
~Nadia The pack had been unusually quiet over the past few days. No one spoke openly about what had happened in the council hall. No one dared to question it, not even in passing conversation where words could easily be dismissed. Lucian had made his position clear, and that alone was enough to ke
~Nadia He held my chin and before I could take a breath, his lips pressed against mine. For a second…Nothing.No thought. No breath. No world.Just impact.My body froze completely, every muscle locking as if I had been struck instead of kissed. My eyes remained open for that brief, disoriented mo
~Lucian I sat in my wing, fingers curled around the thorough patrol reports. Eastern border reinforced. Northern ridge scouts doubled. No unusual scent trails detected near Moonstone Hill. I read each line carefully, not because I doubted Rowan’s efficiency, but because discipline begins at the t
~Lucian The noise didn’t fade, it pressed in.Low voices. Uneasy shifts. The weight of eyes that refused to look away but dared not stare too long.I stood where I was, Nadia beside me, her hand still on mine.I didn’t tighten my hold. I didn’t loosen it either. It was just enough for her to feel
