LOGINAria’s POVFor a few seconds, the room held its breath.Everyone exchanged confused glances, clearly finding it difficult to believe what Luna Sophia had just said.How could she be Theresa?I looked at Beatrice and saw that her face had completely drained of color. She looked as though she had seen a ghost.“No…” Beatrice whispered through shaky breaths, shaking her head violently. “This can't be true. Theresa died…”She immediately trailed off as if she had said something she wasn't supposed to mention.Sophia locked her gaze on Beatrice, a sinister smile curving across her lips.“You mean to say you burned me and my children alive that night?”Beatrice’s eyes widened.“Shut up! I did nothing of such.”A small chuckle escaped Sophia’s lips.“First, you claimed not to know who Theresa was,” she took a slow step toward Beatrice. “Then, when I revealed that Theresa had given birth to twins, you didn't question how I knew about them. And now, without me telling you that Theresa was supp
Aria’s POVSophia majestically walked to the center of the room, several curious eyes following her. She stopped in front of the elders, smiling sheepishly as though she had the whole world wrapped around her fingers.“Luna Sophia, we heard you have some allegations against Luna Beatrice. Is that true?” Elder Marcus’s voice rang through the room.“Yes, Elder. I have serious, verified allegations against Luna Beatrice.”As soon as the last word escaped her lips, murmurs erupted throughout the room.“Verified allegations?”“Did she just say they are serious?”“What could she possibly know about Luna Beatrice?”Elder Marcus struck his staff against the floor, the sharp sound echoing through the room.“Silence!”The entire courtroom fell so silent that if a needle had fallen at that moment, its sound would have been heard.Elder Marcus’s eyes traveled around the room, as though making sure everyone was paying attention. Once he was satisfied, his gaze returned to Sophia.“You may proceed,
Aria’s POVThe next few days passed quickly and during those days, the house was silent as a graveyard.The revelations were enough to cause uproar in the pack and, coupled with the fact that no one knew what the outcome of Beatrice’s hearing would be, we all just waited silently for the D-Day to come.In the blink of an eye, the day came, and we were all seated in the elders’ courtroom. Outsiders even attended the hearing and Alpha Alexander and his Luna were not left behind.Beatrice was seated in the middle of the courtroom, in between two heavily armed guards. Her hands restrained in silver cuffs and her once perfectly curled hair was now disheveled.She no longer looked like the proud Alpha’s mother who had walked into the hall a few days ago. And the confidence she had always carried seemed to have disappeared completely.Beatrice kept looking around the courtroom as though she were searching for something… or someone.I followed her gaze and my eyes landed on Kael.He sat sever
Aria’s POVI was seated in my room, listening attentively to Silas’s narrative.He had told me he never wanted to use me. He just wanted to reveal the evil deeds Beatrice had committed.He had been looking for a way to go about that until I asked him to get married to me, and he thought that was the best opportunity to strike.“I’m sorry, Luna. I should have carried you along. I never meant to make you look stupid,” Silas apologized, sincerity flickering in his eyes.Sincerely, I didn't even know what to say.I just kept staring at him, my lips parting but no words escaping.“I…”“Aria!” A rage-filled voice came from outside.Before I could figure out what was going on, the door to my room suddenly flung open, revealing Kael.He stood at the entrance, his chest rising and falling heavily. His eyes immediately landed on Silas, and the moment they did, his eyes sparked with an unmistakable fury. “Get out!” he ordered, hid voice cold.Silas slowly rose from his seat.“And why should I?”
Aria’s POVI remained rooted to the spot, staring blankly ahead. My mind was still trying to catch up with everything that had happened.I glanced toward Kael. His siblings had gathered around him.“Kael, you have to do something.”“You can't just let them take Mother away.”“She needs you.”“Please, Kael. You are her son.”Jack and Cassandra kept talking, their voices overlapping. But Kael barely seemed to hear them. He simply stood there, staring at the doors through which their mother had disappeared.His face was pale, his eyes were distant, and he looked completely perplexed. For the first time, I wondered if even Kael knew what to do anymore.Not far away from him, Vivienne stood, equally stunned. She hadn't moved since the whole truth uncovering began. Her eyes remained fixed on the closed doors, her facial expression a mixture of disbelief and fear.I could hardly blame her. Her entire world had just been turned upside down. And if care wasn’t taken, she might never become the
Aria's POVThe hall instantly fell silent.“A DNA test?” Kael repeated.Silas nodded.“Yes. One that was conducted while Alpha Lucas was still alive.”Beatrice's face changed. For the first time since Silas had revealed himself, genuine fear flashed across her eyes.“No…”Silas looked directly at her.“Yes.”He opened the folder and removed a few sheets of paper.“It was as if Alpha Lucas knew a day like this would come. A day my identity would be questioned. So, he made sure I had proof that couldn't be manipulated.”Elder Marcus stepped forward.“Who conducted the test?”“A physician outside Silverfang,” Silas handed the documents to him. “Alpha Lucas personally provided his sample.”A collective gasp swept through the hall.Kael stared at the papers, his eyes widened. “My father did?”“Yes,” Silas nodded. “He knew who I was. As a matter of fact, he was the one who told me about our relationship. When I didn’t believe him, he requested we conduct a DNA test. Hence, this."Beatrice i
Kael’s POV “Shit!” I yelled, punching the table. “Alpha, please be calm,” Silas advised, watching as I paced the room. I ran my hand through my hair in rage, anger dominating every vessel in my body. “Did you see that, Silas? She not only disrespected me, but she also walked out on me!” I bl
Aria’s POVHis presence filled the room, heavy and commanding. He stood firm and I could feel his fierce eyes burning into my skin.Before, I would have shivered the moment I heard his voice, and my pulse would have hammered loudly in my ears. But not that night.My shoulders were squared confident
Aria’s POV.I staggered down the stairs, my face pale like someone who life was slowly being drained out of. If I hadn’t heard everything myself... if someone had told me, I wouldn’t have believed Kael could do such a cruel thing.“Luna...” Silas, who was standing at the end of the stairs, called,
Aria’s POV. “Congratulations, Luna Aria. You’re finally going to be a mother!” The doctor’s words hit me like a thunderclap. “What?” the word escaped my lips before I could stop it. “The heir to the Silverfang Pack is growing in your womb. You’re two weeks gone, Aria,” Lea, the pack doctor,
